                               CELGENE CORPORATION
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2000

1.       Basis of Presentation

          The unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  have been prepared
from the books and records of Celgene Corporation and subsidiaries ("Celgene" or
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  annual  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.

          On August 31,  2000,  the  Company  completed  its merger  with Signal
Pharmaceuticals,   Inc.   ("Signal"),   a   privately   held   San   Diego-based
biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of drugs that
regulate genes  associated with disease.  The Company issued 3,710,144 shares of
its common stock for all the outstanding  common shares of Signal at an exchange
rate of .1257 of a share of Celgene common stock for each share of Signal common
stock. Immediately prior to the consummation of the merger, all Signal preferred
shares were  converted  into Signal  common shares on a  one-for-one  basis.  In
addition,  Celgene issued 380,607 options for all the Signal options outstanding
at the closing date. The Company entered into consulting agreements with certain
former non-employee directors of Signal to provide services to Signal, effective
August 31, 2000. These former non-employee directors held unvested stock options
to purchase  38,310  shares of the  Company's  common  stock.  As a result,  the
Company is required to record compensation expense relative to the fair value of
such options which is being  recognized over the remaining  vesting period.  For
the third quarter 2000,  approximately  $43,000 was  recognized as  compensation
expense.

          The merger was  accounted  for as a pooling  of  interests.  All prior
period  consolidated  financial  statements  of Celgene  have been  restated  to
include the results of operations,  financial position and cash flows of Signal.
Celgene and Signal  incurred direct  transaction  expenses of $7.2 million which
were recognized in the third quarter of 2000. The merger-related costs consisted
of transaction fees for financial advisors,  attorneys,  accountants,  financial
printing and other related charges.

          The  interim  consolidated  financial  statements  should  be  read in
conjunction  with  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  notes  thereto
included  in the  Company's  latest  annual  report on Form 10K,  and  Celgene's
consolidated  financial  statements,  restated to reflect a three-for-one  stock
split and Signal's financial  statements  included in Amendment No.1 to Form S-4
(Registration Statement No. 333-42302) filed by Celgene on August 9, 2000.

2.       Merger of Celgene and Signal

          As  discussed  in Note 1, on August 31, 2000,  Celgene  completed  the
merger with Signal in a  transaction  accounted  for as a pooling of  interests.
Accordingly,  the consolidated financial statements reflect the combined results
of  Celgene  and  Signal as if the  merger  had been in effect  for all  periods
presented. The results of operations for the separate companies and the combined
amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements for the periods prior
to the merger follow:

3.       Common Stock Split and Authorized Shares

         On April 14, 2000, the Company effected a three-for-one stock split for
stockholders  of record as of April 11, 2000.  On April 10, 2000,  the Company's
stockholders  approved an increase in the number of authorized  shares of common
stock from  30,000,000  to  120,000,000.  All share and per share amounts in the
consolidated  statements of operations and share and per share amounts disclosed
in the accompanying notes to unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements have
been retroactively  restated to reflect the three-for-one stock split. Share and
per share amounts in the consolidated balance sheets have not been retroactively
restated to reflect the stock split. During the second quarter 2000, the Company
recorded a  reclassification  of approximately  $429,000 to decrease  additional
paid-in   capital  and  to  increase  common  stock  in  order  to  reflect  the
three-for-one stock split.

4.       Earnings per Share

         "Basic" earnings per common share equals net income divided by weighted
average  common shares  outstanding  during the period.  "Diluted"  earnings per
common share  equals net income  divided by the sum of weighted  average  common
shares  outstanding during the period plus common stock equivalents if dilutive.
The Company's basic and diluted per share amounts are the same since the assumed
exercise of stock and warrants,  and the conversion of convertible notes are all
anti-dilutive.  The  amount  of  common  stock  equivalents  excluded  from  the
calculation  were  13,839,493   at   September  30,  2000  and   20,835,404   at
September 30, 1999.

7.       Convertible Notes

          On September  16, 1998,  the Company  issued  convertible  notes to an
institutional  investor in the amount of $8,750,000.  The notes have a five year
term and a coupon rate of 9.25% with interest  payable on a  semi-annual  basis.
The notes  contain a conversion  feature that allows the note holders to convert
the notes into  common  shares at $3.67 per share.  The  Company  can redeem the
notes  after  three  years at 103% of the  principal  amount  (two  years if the
Company's stock trades at $8.26 or higher for a period of 20 consecutive trading
days).  These  notes  were  issued  at a  discount  of  $437,500  which is being
amortized over three years. On October 16, 2000, all of the notes were converted
into 2,386,387 common shares.

                                       10

          On January 20, 1999, the Company issued to an  institutional  investor
convertible notes in the amount of $15,000,000.  The notes have a five year term
and a coupon rate of 9% with interest payable on a semi-annual  basis. The notes
contain a  conversion  feature that allows the note holders to convert the notes
into common  shares  after one year at $6 per share.  The Company can redeem the
notes after three years at 103% of the principal amount (two years under certain
conditions).  Issuance costs of $750,000  incurred in connection  with this note
are being  amortized  over  three  years.  Just  prior to the  Company's  public
offering on February 16, 2000, a portion of the notes totaling  $9,288,000  were
converted into 1,548,000 common shares and included in the public  offering.  On
May 17, 2000, an additional  $3,998,400 of the notes were converted into 666,399
common shares and issued to the noteholder.  The remaining carrying value of the
notes at September  30, 2000 is  $1,713,600,  convertible  into  285,601  common
shares.

          On July 6, 1999, the Company issued to a third institutional  investor
convertible notes in the amount of $15,000,000.  The notes have a five year term
and a coupon rate of 9% with interest payable on a semi-annual  basis. The notes
contain a  conversion  feature that allows the note holders to convert the notes
into common shares after one year at $6.33 per share. The Company can redeem the
note after three years at 103% of the principal  amount (two years under certain
conditions).  There was no fee or discount  associated with these notes. On July
6, 2000,  $5.0 million of the notes were converted to 789,474 common shares.  At
September 30, 2000, the remaining  carrying value of the notes was $10.0 million
and is convertible into 1,578,948 common shares.

          On September 26, 2000, the Company  entered into an agreement with the
noteholders  of the  January  1999 and the July  1999  notes  which  allows  the
noteholders  to take a "short  position"  in the common stock (as defined in the
respective  Note  Purchase  Agreements)  of the Company with certain  conditions
regarding the stock price.  In exchange for the Company  consenting to waive the
provisions  that prohibit short sales,  the  noteholders  waive the right to the
receipt of any interest after the effective date of August 24, 2000.

8. Secured Promissory Note

          In June 2000,  Signal  issued a secured  promissory  note for up to $5
million that can be borrowed against through  December 31, 2000, as needed.  The
proceeds of the note will be used for  general  corporate  purposes  and working
capital. The interest rate will float with the Treasury rate as the proceeds are
drawn down and then be fixed for the term,  maintaining the spread.  The note is
payable in either twelve or thirty-six monthly installments, at Signal's option,
and is secured by the assets of the Company.  To date, Signal has not drawn down
any proceeds from the note. In  conjunction  with the issuance of the promissory
note,  Signal issued the creditor a warrant to purchase up to 225,000  shares of
C-2 Preferred  Stock at a price of $4.00 per share, of which 150,000 shares were
issuable under the warrant upon Signal's signing of a loan commitment  letter in
May 2000, and the remaining 75,000 shares become issuable under the warrant upon
any additional borrowing against the note greater than $2.5 million. The warrant
expires  ten years  from the date of grant.  The  Company  recorded  a  $450,000
imputed  dividend during the second quarter of 2000 which  represents the excess
of the fair value over the issuance price of the warrant.

excluded from net loss. Other comprehensive gain(loss) includes unrealized gains
and losses on marketable securities classified as available-for-sale.

10.      New Accounting Pronouncements

          In December 1999, the staff of the Securities and Exchange  Commission
issued  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  ("SAB") NO.  101,  Revenue  Recognition  in
Financial  Statements.  SAB 101  summarizes  certain  of the  staff's  views  in
applying  generally  accepted  accounting  principles to revenue  recognition in
financial statements,  including the recognition of non-refundable fees received
upon entering into arrangements.  SAB 101, as amended,  must be adopted no later
than the fourth  quarter of 2000 with an effective  date of January 1, 2000. The
Company is in the process of evaluating  this SAB and the effect it will have on
our consolidated financial statements and future revenue recognition policy.

          In June 1998,  Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No.
133, Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities,  was issued
and, as  amended,  is  effective  for all fiscal  quarters  of all fiscal  years
beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires  derivative  instruments to
be  recognized  as Assets and  Liabilities  and be recorded  at Fair Value.  The
Company  is  currently  not  party to any  Derivative  Instruments.  Any  future
transactions  involving  Derivative  Instruments will be evaluated based on SFAS
No.133.

          Each of the shares of preferred  stock,  listed above, was convertible
on a  one-for-one  basis,  at the option of the  holder,  into  shares of Signal
common stock. Immediately prior to the closing of the merger on August 31, 2000,
all of the preferred  shares converted into Signal common stock and subsequently
each share was  converted  into Celgene  common  stock at the  exchange  rate of
 .1257.

Rights Plan

          On February 17, 2000,  the  Company's  Board of Directors  approved an
amendment to the  Company's  shareholder  rights plan  adopted in 1996  ("Rights
Plan"),  changing the initial  exercise price  thereunder from $100.00 per Right
(as  defined in the  original  Rights Plan  agreement)  to $700.00 per Right and
extending the final expiration date of the Rights Plan to February 17, 2010.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

          At the Company's  Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 20, 2000, the
stockholders of the Company  approved an amendment to the 1998 Incentive Plan to
increase  the number of shares  that may be subject  to awards  thereunder  from
4,500,000 shares to 6,000,000 shares.

Warrants to Acquire Common Stock

          Under the terms of a private  placement  of Series B  Preferred  Stock
with Chancellor LGT Asset Management,  Inc.  ("Chancellor") entered into on June
9, 1997,  the Company was obligated to issue warrants to Chancellor to acquire a
number of shares of common stock.  As of September 30, 2000,  there were a total
of 1,207,693 warrants  outstanding.  All such warrants have an exercise price of
$2.50 per share and expire on June 1, 2002.

Deferred Compensation

          Prior to the merger,  Signal  recorded an aggregate  of  approximately
$9.9  million of  deferred  compensation  for stock  options  granted  from 1997
through 2000,  representing the difference between the option exercise price and
the  estimated  fair  value of the  underlying  stock  for  financial  statement
presentation  purposes.  The deferred  compensation  is being amortized over the
vesting  period of the options.  Through  September  30,  2000,  the Company has
recorded  approximately  $3.8 million of  compensation  expense related to these
options.

12.      Public Offering

          On  February  16,  2000,  the  company  completed  an offering to sell
10,350,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $33.67 per share.  8,802,000
shares were for the account of the Company and 1,548,000 were for the account of
a selling  shareholder  pursuant  to the  conversion  of  $9,288,000  of the 9%,
January  1999  convertible  notes  held by  that  shareholder.  Proceeds  to the
Company, net of expenses, were approximately $278 million.

13.      Agreements

          On April 26, 2000,  the Company  announced that it had entered into an
agreement  with  Novartis  Pharma AG wherein the Company  granted to Novartis an
exclusive   worldwide   license   for   the   development   and   marketing   of
d-methylphenidate,  its  chirally  pure  version of Ritalin.  The  Company  also
granted rights to all its related intellectual  property and patents,  including
new  formulations  of the currently  marketed  Ritalin.  Celgene  received a $10
million, nonrefundable, upfront license fee payment in July 2000 and is entitled
to receive substantial milestone payments in addition to royalties on the entire
family of Ritalin drugs. The agreement was subject to regulatory approval in the
United States under the Hart-Scott-Rodino  Pre-Merger Notification Act for which
the  waiting  period  ended on June 10,  2000.  The  upfront  license fee of $10
million is being  recognized as revenue over a 14 month period  commencing  June
2000 which is  management's  estimate of the period of time  required to fulfill
its obligations  related to obtaining FDA approval of the immediate release form
of  d-methylphenidate.  This estimate is subject to change due to  uncertainties
inherent in the regulatory approval process,  which change could have a material
impact on the timing of the  recognition  of revenue.  Accordingly,  the Company
recognized  approximately  $2.1  million and $2.5  million of research  contract
revenue for the three and nine months ended  September  30, 2000,  respectively,
with the  remainder  of the $10  million fee  recorded  as  deferred  revenue at
September 30, 2000.

Related Party Collaborative Agreement Revenue

      Prior to the  merger,  Signal  entered  into  collaborative  research  and
license agreements with related parties as follows:

          Axys  Pharmaceutical  ("Axys")  is  a  related  party,  as  the  chief
executive  officer  of  Axys  served  on  the  Board  of  Directors  of  Signal.
Accordingly,  revenues of $625,000 and  $1,875,000  were  classified  as related
party  revenue  for  the  three  and  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000,
respectively.  There was no revenue from Axys for the comparable  periods of the
prior year.

          Ares Serono S.A. is a related  party based on its  ownership in Signal
prior to the merger.  Accordingly,  revenues of $1,050,000 and  $3,150,000  were
classified  as  related  party  revenue  for the  three  and nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000, respectively,  and $1,050,000 and $2,850,000,  respectively,
were classified as related party revenue for the comparable periods of the prior
year.

                                       14
<PAGE>

          While these two companies  are no longer  considered  related  parties
after the merger was completed, revenue from these companies will continue to be
classified as related party revenue until the  agreements  with those  companies
terminate.

30, 2000 increased  significantly  to $56.9 million  compared with $25.6 million
for the same period in 1999.  Revenues in 2000  consisted  of THALOMID  sales of
$45.2  million,  research  contract  revenue of $6.7 million,  and related party
collaborative  agreement revenue of $5.0 million compared with THALOMID sales of
$15.1  million,  research  contract  revenue of $7.7  million and related  party
revenue of $2.85  million  for the same  period in 1999.  The growth in THALOMID
sales is  primarily  the result of increased  use in  oncology.  Included in the
research  contract  revenue  for  2000  was  $2.5  million  of the  $10  million
nonrefundable  upfront  license  fee  payment  received  in  connection  with  a
collaborative agreement with Novartis Pharma AG.

         Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold during the first nine months of
2000 was $6.4 million compared with approximately $2.1 million in the comparable
period in 1999. The increase in cost of goods sold reflects the higher volume of
THALOMID sold in the first nine months of 2000.  In addition,  the cost of goods
sold  during  1999 and first  quarter  2000 does not  reflect  raw  material  or
formulation and  encapsulation  costs  associated with THALOMID,  as these costs
were  charged as  research  and  development  expenses  prior to  receiving  FDA
approval.

         Research and development  expenses.  Research and development  expenses
increased by 46% for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 to  approximately
$39.3  million  compared  to $27.0  million  for the same  period  in 1999.  The
increase was primarily in spending by Celgene for preclinical toxicology studies
and phase I and phase II  clinical  trials for  SelCIDs  and  IMiDs,  as well as
spending on the completion of the pivotal trials and  preparation for filing the
NDA for d-methylphenidate, our chirally pure version of Ritalin, and spending by
Signal  for  product  development  for our  SERM  (selective  estrogen  receptor
modulators) cancer program.

         Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses.  Selling,  general and
administrative expenses increased by 70% for the

                                       16

nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $34.2 million  compared to $20.0 million
for the same period in 1999.  The increase was due primarily to the expansion of
Celgene's sales and marketing  organization and related  expenses,  and spending
for customer service, warehousing and distribution.

         Merger-related  costs. The merger-related  costs are the one-time costs
associated  with the  merger  of  Celgene  and  Signal.  These  costs,  totaling
approximately  $7.2 million,  incurred by both Celgene and Signal, are primarily
for fees for financial advisors, attorneys, accountants,  financial printing and
other related charges.

         Interest income and expense.  Interest income for the first nine months
of 2000  increased  significantly  to  approximately  $12.6 million  compared to
approximately  $994,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase was due to the
investment of the net proceeds of approximately  $278 million from the follow-on
public  offering in February  2000,  and $10.0  million  received  from Novartis
Pharma AG in early July 2000.

         Interest  expense  for the  first  nine  months  of 2000  decreased  to
approximately  $2.0 million compared to approximately  $2.3 million for the same
period in 1999.  The  decrease  was due  primarily  to the  conversion  of $13.2
million of the January 1999 convertible  notes in February and May 2000 and $5.0
million  of the July 1999  convertible  notes in July  2000.  As a result of the
conversions,  our long term convertible  notes balance declined to $20.3 million
at September 30, 2000 from $38.5 million at December 31, 1999.

         Net loss.  The net loss for the nine month period ended  September  30,
2000  decreased by 21% to $19.5  million  compared to $24.8 million for the same
period in 1999. The decrease was due primarily to the increase in THALOMID sales
and higher net interest income offset by an increase in research and development
expenses,  selling,  general and administrative expenses and the one-time merger
related expenses.  Excluding the merger related costs, the net loss for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2000 decreased by 50% to $12.4 million compared
to $24.8 million for the same period in 1999.

Results of Operations
Three month period ended September 30,2000 vs.
Three month period ended September 30,1999

         Total  Revenues.  Our total  revenues  for the three month period ended
September 30, 2000 increased  significantly  to $22.7 million compared with $9.3
million for the same period in 1999. Revenue in 2000 consisted of THALOMID sales
of $17.3 million,  research contract revenue of $3.7 million,  and related party
collaborative  agreement revenue of $1.7 million compared with THALOMID sales of
$6.3  million,  research  contract  revenue of $1.9  million,  and related party
collaborative  agreement revenue of $1.1 million during the comparable period in
1999. The  growth in THALOMID sales is primarily  the result of increased use in
Oncology.

         Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold during the third  quarter  2000
was $2.2 million compared with  approximately  $702,000 in the comparable period
in 1999. The cost of goods sold relates entirely to sales of THALOMID.  The cost
of goods sold during the third  quarter  1999 does not  reflect raw  material or
formulation and  encapsulation  costs  associated with THALOMID,  as these costs
were  charged as  research  and  development  expenses  prior to  receiving  FDA
approval.

         Research and development  expenses.  Research and development  expenses
increased  by 52% in the  third  quarter  2000 to  approximately  $13.5  million
compared to approximately $8.9 million for the second quarter 1999. The increase
was  primarily  in spending by Celgene for  preclinical  toxicology  studies and
phase I and phase II clinical  trials for the  SelCIDs and IMiDs and  additional
headcount  related expenses to support the increased  activity,  and spending by
Signal for product development related to our SERM cancer program.

         Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses.  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased
by 66% to  approximately  $12.2  million  compared to $7.3  million for the same
period in 1999. The increase was due primarily to the expansion of the sales and
marketing organization and related expenses.

         Interest income and expense. Interest income for the third quarter 2000
increased  significantly to approximately $5.3 million compared to approximately
$407,000 for the same period in 1999.  The increase was due to the investment of
the net  proceeds  of  approximately  $278  million  from the  follow-on  public

                                       18

offering in February 2000, and the $10 million  received from Novartis Pharma AG
in July 2000.

         Interest  expense for the third quarter 2000 decreased to approximately
$440,000  compared to  approximately  $985,000 for the same period in 1999.  The
decrease was due primarily to the conversion of $18.2 million of the convertible
notes as described above.

         Net loss.  The net loss for the third  quarter 2000  decreased by 9% to
approximately $7.5 million compared to $8.2 million for the same period in 1999.
The  decrease was due to the  increase in total  revenues  and  interest  income
offset by increased  research and  development  expenses,  selling,  general and
administrative  expenses and the one-time  merger-related  costs.  Excluding the
$7.2 million of merger-related costs, the net loss for the third quarter of 2000
was approximately $304,000.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources.  Since inception, we have financed our
working capital  requirements  primarily through private and public sales of our
debt and equity securities, income earned on the investment of the proceeds from
the sale of such  securities,  and revenues from  collaborative  agreements  and
product sales. Through December 31, 1999, we raised approximately $100.0 million
in net proceeds  from three public and three  private  offerings,  including our
initial  public  offering  in July 1987.  We also  issued  convertible  notes in
September  1998,  January  1999,  and July  1999 with net  proceeds  aggregating
approximately $38 million.

         On February  16,  2000,  we  completed  an offering to sell  10,350,000
shares of our common stock at a price of $33.67 per share. 8,802,000 shares were
for the  account of  Celgene  and  1,548,000  shares  were for the  account of a
selling shareholder  pursuant to the conversion of $9,288,000 of the 9%, January
1999 convertible notes held by that shareholder.  Our proceeds, net of expenses,
were approximately $278 million.

         On April 19, 2000, we signed a development  and license  agreement with
Novartis  Pharma AG in which we granted to Novartis  rights to our chirally pure
version of Ritalin in return for certain  upfront  and  milestone  payments  and
royalties upon  commercialization of the product. The agreement became effective
on June 10,  2000 upon  which a payment  of $10  million  was due to us. The $10
million was received in early July, 2000.

                                       19

         Our net working  capital at September 30, 2000 increased  significantly
to  approximately  $287.1  million  (primarily  cash  and cash  equivalents  and
marketable  securities) from  approximately  $22.5 million at December 31, 1999.
The increase in working  capital was primarily due to the net proceeds  received
from the public offering in February 2000.

         At September 30, 2000,  cash and cash  equivalents  increased by $137.5
million in the third quarter 2000 and marketable  securities increased by $132.9
million from  December 31, 1999.  This reflects the receipt of funds in February
2000 from the follow-on public offering, the $10.0 million up-front payment from
Novartis  Pharma AG and increasing  receivable  collections  related to sales of
THALOMID.

         We expect that our rate of spending  will increase as the result of the
merger with Signal  Pharmaceuticals,  increased clinical trial costs,  increased
expenses associated with the regulatory  approval process and  commercialization
of  products   currently  in   development,   increased  costs  related  to  the
commercialization  of THALOMID and increased  working capital  requirements.  We
believe that the funds received from the public offering, funds received and the
possibility  of additional  milestone  payments in connection  with the Novartis
collaboration,  as well as the increasing revenues from sales of THALOMID should
be sufficient to fund the combined operations for the foreseeable future.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

         In December 1999,  the staff of the Securities and Exchange  Commission
issued  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  ("SAB") No.  101,  Revenue  Recognition  in
Financial  Statements.  SAB 101  summarizes  certain  of the  staff's  views  in
applying  generally  accepted  accounting  principles to revenue  recognition in
financial statements,  including the recognition of non-refundable fees received
upon entering into arrangements.  SAB 101, as amended,  must be adopted no later
than the fourth  quarter 2000 with an effective  date of January 1, 2000. We are
in the  process  of  evaluating  this  SAB and the  effect  it will  have on our
consolidated financial statements and future revenue recognition policy.
