                               CELGENE CORPORATION
              Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 March 31, 2000


1.       Basis of Presentation

         The unaudited consolidated 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 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.

         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.

2.       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 options and warrants,  and the conversion of convertible notes
are all anti-dilutive.  The amount of common stock equivalents excluded from the
calculation were 15,219,159 at March 31, 2000 and 14,400,195 at March 31,1999.

         In December 1999,  the staff of the Securities and Exchange  Commission
issued  Staff  Accounting  Bulletinh  ("SAB") NO. 101,  Revenue  Recognition  in
Financial  Statements.  SAB 101  summarizes  certain  of the  staff's  views  in
applying generaly accepted  accounting  principles to the 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 second  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 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.


10.      Subsequent Event

         On April 26, 2000,  the Company  announced  that it had entered into an
agreement  with  Novartis  Pharma AG wherein  the Company  granted an

                                       9
<PAGE>

exclusive worldwide license (excluding Canada) for the development and marketing
of d-methylphenidate,  its chirally pure version of Ritalin(R), to Novartis. The
Company  also  granted  rights  to all its  related  intellectual  property  and
patents,  including new  formulations  of the currently  marketed  Ritalin.  The
Company will receive  substantial  upfront and milestone payments in addition to
royalties on the entire  family of Ritalin  drugs.  The  agreement is subject to
regulatory approval in the United States under the Hart-Scott-Rodino  Pre-Merger
Notification Act.

PART 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

Results of Operations
Three month period ended March 31,2000 vs.
Three month period ended March 31,1999

         Total Revenues. Our total revenues for the three months ended March 31,
2000 increased  significantly to $11.9 million compared with $4.3 million in the
same  period of 1999.  Revenue  in 2000  consisted  of  THALOMID  sales of $11.7
million  and  research  contract  revenue of $200,000  compared  with 1999 first
quarter  THALOMID  sales  of $3.5  million  and  research  contract  revenue  of
$813,000.  1999  research  contract  revenue  included  a  milestone  payment of
$500,000 related to the development of ATTENADE.

         Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold during the first  quarter  2000
was $1.7 million compared with  approximately  $656,000 in the comparable period
in 1999.  The cost of goods sold in both years does not reflect raw  material or
formulation and encapsulation costs of 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 41% in the first  quarter 2000 to  approximately  $6.4 million from
approximately  $4.5  million  in the same  period  in  1999.  The  increase  was
primarily in spending for preclinical toxicology studies and clinical trials for
ATTENADE, THALOMID, and the SelCIDs and IMiDs.

         Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses.  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000  increased by
60% to approximately  $8.5 million from $5.3 million in the same period in 1999.
The increase  was due  primarily  to the  expansion  of the sales and  marketing
organization   and  related  expenses  of   approximately   $2.6  million,   and
approximately $240,000 for warehousing and distribution.

         Interest income and expense. Interest income for the first quarter 2000
increased  significantly to approximately $2.3 million from $146,000 in 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.

         Interest  expense for the first quarter 2000 increased to approximately
$778,000 from  approximately  $546,000 in the same period in 1999.  The increase
was due primarily to the interest expense  associated with the convertible notes
issued in January and July 1999.

         Net loss. The net loss for the period ended March 31, 2000 decreased by
52% to $3.1 million  from $6.6 million in the same period of 1999.  The decrease
was due to the increase in gross profit of $7.2


                                       11
<PAGE>

million on the THALOMID  sales and higher net interest  income of  approximately
$1.9 million offset by a decrease in research  contract revenue of approximately
$613,000 and higher operating expenses, approximately $5.0 million.

         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 research  contracts 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 3,450,000 shares
of our common stock at a price of $101 per share.  2,934,000 shares were for the
account  of  Celgene  and  516,000  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.  Proceeds  to  Celgene,  net of
expenses, were approximately $278 million.

         Our net working  capital at March 31, 2000 increased  significantly  to
approximately $295.6 million (primarily cash and cash equivalents and marketable
securities) from approximately  $18.5 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.

         Cash and cash  equivalents  increased  by $147.7  million  in the first
quarter 2000 and marketable securities increased by $125.2 million from December
31, 1999.  This  reflects the receipt in February  2000 of funds from the public
offering.

         We expect  that our rate of  spending  will  increase  as the result of
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 as well as the  increasing  revenues from sales of THALOMID
should be sufficient to fund our 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


                                       12
<PAGE>

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  second  quarter  of 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.


Cautionary Statements for Forward-Looking Information

         The  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
Results of Operations provided above contains certain forward-looking statements
which involve known and unknown risks,  delays,  uncertainties and other factors
not  under  our  control  which  may  cause  actual  results,   performance  and
achievements of Celgene to be materially different from the results, performance
or other expectations implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors
include results of current or pending  clinical  trials,  actions by the FDA and
other factors  detailed  herein and in our other filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.


Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         We do not use derivative financial  instruments.  Our convertible notes
have a fixed interest rate.

The Company held a Special  Meeting of  Stockholders  of Celgene  Corporation on
April 10, 2000. At this meeting,  The Company's  stockholders were asked to vote
for an  amendment  to the  Company's  Certificate  of  Incorporation  that would

30,000,000 to 120,000,000 shares in order to effect a three-for-one  stock split
that was approved by the  Company's  Board of  Directors on March 13, 2000.  The
Amended  Certificate  of  Incorporation  was filed with the State of Delaware on
April 11, 2000. The amendment was approved by the following votes:
