                               CELGENE CORPORATION
              Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  June 30, 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. 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.

3. 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 14,013,027 at June 30, 2000 and 15,446,634 at June 30,1999.

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.

7. 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 June 30,  2000  there  were a total of
1,557,690  warrants  outstanding.  All such warrants  have an exercise  price of
$2.49 per share and expire on June 1, 2002.

8. 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 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 June 30, 2000 is $1,713,600,  convertible into 285,601 shares of common
stock.

     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
notes after three years at 103% of the principal amount (two years under certain
conditions). There was no fee or discount associated with these notes.

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

     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.  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.

     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.

12. 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


                                       11

<PAGE>


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.  Upon
receipt of the Hart-Scott-Rodino approval, the Company recorded a receivable for
the  up-front  payment  plus  interest in the amount of $10.1  million  which is
included in other accounts  receivable at June 30, 2000. The upfront license fee
of $10 million is being  recognized  as revenue  over a 14 month period which is
management's  estimate of the period of time required to fulfill its development
efforts  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  $385,000 of research contract revenue for the quarter
ended June 30,  2000 with the  remainder  of the $10  million  fee  recorded  as
deferred revenue at June 30, 2000.

     On June 29,  2000,  the Company  entered  into an  agreement  to merge 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 agreement is subject to standard
closing  conditions.  The  merger  is  expected  to be  accounted  for using the
pooling-of-interest   method  of  accounting.  In  accordance  with  the  merger
agreement,  Celgene will exchange all of the outstanding shares of Signal common
and  preferred  stock for  approximately  3.7 million  shares of Celgene  common
stock. The merger agreement  provides that Signal  shareholders  will receive in
the  merger  .1257 of a share of common  stock,  par value  $.01 per  share,  of
Celgene in exchange  for each share of common  stock of Signal that they own. In
addition,  based on Signal's  options and  warrants  outstanding  as of July 31,
2000,  Celgene will issue options and warrants for approximately  450,000 shares
of Celgene  common stock.  On July 26, 2000,  the Company  filed a  registration
statement  with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission to register the common
shares of Celgene Corporation to be issued to holders of Signal common stock. As
part of the merger, it is anticipated that certain former non-employee directors
of  Signal,   who  hold  unvested   Signal  options  which  would  convert  into
approximately 40,000 Celgene options, will enter into consulting agreements with
Signal to provide  services to Signal to be effective upon  consummation  of the
merger.  As a result,  Celgene will be required to record  compensation  expense
relative to the fair value of such  options  which will be  recognized  over the
remaining  vesting  period.  Celgene  and Signal  estimate  that they will incur
direct  transaction  costs of  approximately  $7.5 million  associated  with the
merger,  which will be charged to operations  upon  consummation  of the merger.
Also,  in  accordance  with the terms of the  merger  agreement,  under  certain
circumstances  Celgene would be obligated to pay a fee to Signal,  as liquidated
damages.

13. Subsequent Event

          On July 6, 2000, $5,000,000 of the July 6, 1999 convertible notes were
converted into 789,474 shares of Celgene  common stock.  The remaining  carrying
value of the notes is $10,000,000  and is convertible  into 1,578,948  shares of
common stock.

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

Results of Operations
Six month period ended June 30,2000 vs.
Six month period ended June 30,1999
-----------------------------------

     Total  Revenues.  Our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000
increased  significantly  to $28.9  million  compared with $10.1 million for the
same  period in 1999.  Revenue  in 2000  consisted  of  THALOMID  sales of $27.9
million and research  contract  revenue of $1.0 million  compared  with THALOMID
sales of $8.7 million and research contract revenue of $1.3 million for the same
period  in  1999.  Included  in the  research  contract  revenue  for  2000  was
approximately  $385,000 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 six months of 2000
was $4.2 million  compared  with  approximately  $1.4 million in the  comparable
period in 1999. The increase in cost of goods sold reflects the higher volume of
THALOMID sold in the first half of 2000.  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 58% for the six  months  ended  June  30,  2000 to  $14.9  million
compared to $9.4 million for the same period in 1999. The increase was primarily
in spending 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 for our chirally pure version of Ritalin.

     Selling,  general  and  administrative   expenses.   Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses increased by 73% for the six months ended June 30, 2000
to $19.4  million  compared to $11.2  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 first six months of
2000 increased  significantly to approximately $7.1 million compared to $255,000
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.
     Interest   expense  for  the  first  six  months  of  2000   increased   to
approximately  $1.4 million compared to approximately  $1.1 million for the same
period  in  1999.  The  increase  was  due  primarily  to the  interest  expense
associated with the convertible notes issued in July 1999.

     Net  loss.  The net loss  for the six  month  period  ended  June 30,  2000
decreased by 69% to $4.0 million  compared to $12.8  million for the same period
in 1999. The decrease was due to the increase of $19.1 million in THALOMID sales
and  higher  net  interest  income of  approximately  $6.5  million  offset by a
decrease in research contract revenue of approximately $298,000 and higher costs
and expenses, approximately $16.5 million.

-------------------------------------

     Total  Revenues.  Our total  revenues for the three month period ended June
30, 2000 increased significantly to $17.0 million compared with $5.8 million for
the same period in 1999.  Revenue in 2000  consisted of THALOMID  sales of $16.2
million and research  contract revenue of $810,000  compared with THALOMID sales
of $5.3 million and research  contract revenue of $495,000 during the comparable
period in 1999.

     Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold during the second  quarter 2000 was
$2.6 million compared with  approximately  $719,000 in the comparable  period in
1999. The cost of goods sold relates entirely to sales of THALOMID.  The cost of
goods sold  during the second  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 73% in the  second  quarter  2000 to  approximately  $8.5  million
compared to approximately $4.9 million for the second quarter 1999. The increase
was  primarily in spending for  preclinical  toxicology  studies and phase I and


                                       14
<PAGE>


phase II clinical trials for the SelCIDs and IMiDs and additional  headcount and
related expenses to support the increased activity.

     Selling,  general  and  administrative   expenses.   Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses for the three  months ended June 30, 2000  increased by
85% to approximately  $10.9 million compared to $5.9 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 second quarter 2000
increased  significantly to approximately  $4.8 million compared to $109,000 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.
     Interest  expense for the second  quarter 2000  increased to  approximately
$659,000  compared to  approximately  $547,000 for the same period in 1999.  The
increase  was  due  primarily  to  the  interest  expense  associated  with  the
convertible notes issued in July 1999.

     Net loss.  The net loss for the second  quarter  2000  decreased  by 87% to
approximately $827,000 compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 1999. The
decrease  was due to the  increase in sales of THALOMID of  approximately  $11.0
million,  higher  net  interest  income of  approximately  $4.6  million  and an
increase in research  contract  revenue of  approximately  $315,000 offset by an
increase in costs and operating expenses of approximately $10.4 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 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


                                       15

<PAGE>


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.

     On  June  29,   2000,   we  signed  an   agreement  to  merge  with  Signal
Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.,  a  privately  held  San  Diego-based  biopharmaceutical
company  focused on the discovery and  development  of drugs that regulate genes
associated with disease.  Subject to standard closing conditions,  the merger is
expected to close later this year. The merger is expected to be accounted for as
a  pooling  of  interests.  We  expect  to  incur  direct  transaction  costs of
approximately $7.5 million associated with the merger,  which will be charged to
operations upon consummation of the merger.

     Our net  working  capital  at June  30,  2000  increased  significantly  to
approximately $304.9 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 $107.2 million in the second quarter
2000 and  marketable  securities  increased by $165.2  million from December 31,
1999.  This  reflects the receipt in February  2000 of funds from the  follow-on
public offering.

     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


                                       16

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 future
consolidated financial statements and future revenue recognition policy.
