                     CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     ORGANIZATION  AND  CERTAIN  SIGNIFICANT  RISKS:

LifeCell Corporation, a Delaware corporation, ("LifeCell" or the "Company") is a
bioengineering  company  engaged  in  the  development  and commercialization of
tissue  regeneration  and  cell  preservation  products.  The  Company  was
incorporated on January 6, 1992, for the purpose of merging with its predecessor
entity,  which was formed in 1986.  LifeCell began commercial sales of its first
commercial  tissue product, AlloDerm  tissue processing technology that provides
an  acellular  dermal  graft,  during 1994.  The future operating results of the
Company  will  be  principally dependent on the market acceptance of its current
and future products, competition from other products or technologies, protection
of  the  Company's  proprietary  technology,  and access to funding as required.
Accordingly,  there  can  be  no assurance of the Company's future success.  See
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial Condition and Results of
Operations"  elsewhere  herein and "Risk Factors" in the Company's annual report
on  Form  10-K  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1998.

2.     BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION

The  accompanying  unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to
the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange Commission (the
"Commission").  Certain  information  and footnote disclosures normally included
in  the  annual  financial  statements  prepared  in  accordance  with generally
accepted  accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those
rules and regulations.  This financial information should be read in conjunction
with  the  Financial  Statements  included within the Company's Annual Report on
Form  10-K  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1998.

In  the  opinion  of  the  management of the Company, the accompanying financial
statements  reflect  all  adjustments  (consisting  only  of  normal  recurring
adjustments)  that  are  necessary for a fair presentation of financial position
and  the results of operations for the periods presented.  Financial results for
interim  periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year
or  future  interim  periods.

3.     INVENTORIES

Inventories  consist of products in various stages produced for sale and include
the  costs of raw materials, labor and overhead.  A summary of inventories is as

4.     DIVIDENDS  PAYABLE  ON  SERIES  B  PREFERRED  STOCK

The  Series  B  Preferred  Stock  bears  cumulative dividends, payable quarterly
ending  2001,  at  the annual rate of $6.00 per share.  Dividends may be paid in
cash, in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock based on the stated value
of  $100  per  share, or any combination of cash and Series B Preferred Stock at
the  Company's  option.

While  the  shares  of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding or any dividends
are  owed  thereon,  the  Company  may  not declare or pay cash dividends on its
Common  Stock.

During  the first quarter of 1999, the Company accrued dividends on the Series B
Preferred  Stock  of  $175,850, payable in cash. Such dividend is payable on May
15,  1999.

5.     LOSS  PER  SHARE

Loss  per  common  share  has been computed by dividing net loss, which has been
increased  for  imputed  and stated dividends on outstanding Preferred Stock, by
the  weighted  average  number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each
period.  In  all applicable periods, all Common Stock equivalents, including the
Series  B Preferred Stock, were antidilutive and, accordingly, were not included
in  the  computation.

antidilutive  nature  of  all  of  the  Company's  Common  Stock  equivalents.

6.     COMMITMENTS  AND  CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and from time to time
may  be subject to various claims in the ordinary course of its operations.  The
Company  maintains  insurance  coverage  for events and in amounts that it deems
appropriate.  There  can  be no assurance that the level of insurance maintained
will  be sufficient to cover any claims incurred by the Company or that the type
of  claims  will  be  covered  by  the  terms  of  insurance  coverage.

ITEM  2.     MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS.

The  following  discussion  of  operations  and  financial condition of LifeCell
should  be  read  in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes herein.
Certain  statements  set  forth  below  constitute  "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section  21E  of  the  Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. See "Special
Note  Regarding  Forward-Looking  Statements  and  Risk  Factors."

GENERAL  AND  BACKGROUND

LifeCell  is  a  bioengineering  company  engaged  in  the  development  and
commercialization  of  tissue  regeneration and cell preservation products.  The
Company's patented tissue processing and cell preservation technologies serve as
platforms  for  a  broad  range  of  potential  products  addressing significant
clinical  needs  in multiple markets.  The Company's first commercial product is
AlloDerm,  a tissue processing technology that provides a graft consisting of an
extracellular  tissue  matrix  that  retains  the  essential  biochemical  and
structural  composition  of human dermis.  The Company believes that AlloDerm is
the  only commercial tissue transplant product that provides a complete template
for  the  regeneration of normal human soft tissue.  AlloDerm currently is being
marketed  in  the  United  States  and internationally for use in reconstructive
plastic,  dental and burn surgery and has been successfully transplanted in over
40,000  patients.  LifeCell's development programs include Micronized AlloDerm ,
vascular  grafts,  nerve  connective  tissue  and  ThromboSol  platelet  storage
solution.

Since  inception, LifeCell has been financed through the public and private sale
of  equity  securities,  through  product sales, through corporate alliances and
through  the  receipt  of  government  grants  and  contracts.

LifeCell  began  the sale of AlloDerm as a dermal replacement in the grafting of
third-degree burns in December 1993 and commenced commercial activities in 1994.
LifeCell  commenced  the  sale  of AlloDerm for periodontal surgery in September
1995  and  for  reconstructive  plastic surgery uses in November 1995.  To date,
proceeds  from the sale of AlloDerm products have not been sufficient to fund in
full  the  Company's  operating  activities.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

THREE  MONTHS  ENDED  MARCH  31,  1999  AND  1998

The  net  loss  for  the  three  months  ended  March 31, 1999, increased 16% to
approximately  $2.1  million compared to approximately $1.8 million for the same
period  of  1998.  The  increase  was  principally  attributable to higher costs
associated  with  the  Company's increased marketing activities for its AlloDerm
products, increased investment in the Company's product development programs and
increased  expenditures for the infrastructure to support these activities.  The
increased  investment  in  these  activities  was  partially offset by a rise in
product  sales  as  discussed  below.

                                        6
<PAGE>

Total  revenues  for  the  three  months  ended March 31, 1999, increased 33% to
approximately  $2.6  million compared to approximately $2.0 million for the same
period  of  1998.  Approximately  $504,000  of such increase was attributable to
increased  sales  of  products,  which  were  the  result  of expanded sales and
marketing  activities and higher pricing of certain AlloDerm products during the
1999  period.  Revenues  from funded research and development increased $144,000
for  the  three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to the same period of 1998.
The  increase  was  attributable  to  funding  by  the  Department of Defense of
LifeCell's  platelet  and red blood cell preservation research programs. Amounts
recognized  as revenues under such cost-reimbursement arrangements relate to the
expenses  incurred  under  such  arrangements  during  the  periods.

Cost  of  goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was approximately
$807,000 resulting in a gross margin of approximately 65%.  The gross margin for
the same period of 1998 was approximately 54%.  The increase in gross margin was
principally  attributable  to  the  implementation  of  certain  production
efficiencies,  the  allocation  of  fixed  costs  to  higher volumes of products
produced  in  1999,  an  increase  in  sales  of  certain higher margin AlloDerm
products  and  an  increase  in  the  price  of  certain  AlloDerm  products.

Research  and  development  expenses  for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
increased  42%  to approximately $1.1 million compared to approximately $746,000
for  the  comparable  period  in 1998.  The increase in research and development
expense  was primarily attributable to the increased animal and clinical studies
for  the expanding uses of AlloDerm.  In addition, increased resources have been
expended  on  the  ThromboSol  platelet  storage  solutions  and  red blood cell
preservation  research as a result of the Department of Defense funding of these
programs.

General  and  administrative  expenses  during  the three months ended March 31,
1999, increased 29% to approximately $1.3 million compared to approximately $1.0
million  for  the same period of 1998.  The increase is principally attributable
the  costs  associated  with  professional  fees  incurred  in  relation  to  a
distribution  agreement  entered  into  during March 1999 with Boston Scientific
Corporation.

Selling  and  marketing  expenses  increased  16%  to approximately $1.6 million
during  the  three  months  ended  March 31, 1999 compared to approximately $1.4
million for the same period of 1998.  The increase was primarily attributable to
increased  promotional activities and the addition of sales personnel related to
AlloDerm  marketing.

Interest  income  and  other, net decreased 49% to approximately $130,000 during
the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to approximately $255,000 for the
same period of 1998.  The decrease was principally attributable to a decrease in
funds  available  for  investment  during  the  current  period.

LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

Since  its  inception,  LifeCell's  principal  sources of funds have been equity
offerings,  product  sales, external funding of research activities and interest
on  investments.

LifeCell expects to incur substantial expenses in connection with its efforts to
expand  sales  and  marketing  of  AlloDerm  products, develop expanded uses for
AlloDerm products, conduct the Company's product development programs (including
costs  of  clinical  studies), prepare and make any required regulatory filings,
introduce  products,  participate  in  technical  seminars  and  support ongoing
administrative  and  research and development activities.  The Company currently
intends  to  fund  these  activities  from its existing cash resources, sales of
products,  and research and development funding received from others.  While the
Company  believes  that  its existing available funds will be sufficient to meet
its  present operating and capital requirements through at least 2000, there can
be  no  assurance  that  such  sources of funds will be sufficient to meet these
future  expenses.  If  adequate  funds are not available, the Company expects it
will  be  required  to delay, scale back or eliminate one or more of its product
development  programs.  The  Company's  need  for  additional  financing will be
principally  dependent  on  the  degree  of  market  acceptance  achieved by the
Company's  products  and the extent to which the Company can achieve substantial
growth in product sales during 1999 and 2000, as well as the extent to which the
Company  may  decide to expand its product development efforts.  There can be no
assurance  that the Company will be able to obtain any such additional financing
on  acceptable  terms,  if  at  all.

During  March 1999, LifeCell received gross proceeds of $1 million from the sale
of  shares  of  the  Company's  common stock to Boston Scientific Corporation in
connection  with  the  signing  of  a  distribution  agreement.

LifeCell  has  had  losses since inception and therefore has not been subject to
federal  income  taxes.  As  of  December  31,  1998, LifeCell had available net
operating  loss  "NOL" and research and development tax credit carryforwards for
income  tax  purposes of approximately $40.5 million and $395,000, respectively,
available  to  reduce  future  income tax and tax liabilities.  Federal tax laws
provide  for  a  limitation  on  the  use  of  NOL  and tax credit carryforwards
following  certain  ownership changes that could limit LifeCell's ability to use
its  NOL  and  tax  credit  carryforwards.  The sale of common stock in a public
offering in December 1997 resulted in an ownership change for federal income tax
purposes.  The  Company  estimates  that the amount of NOL carryforwards and the
credits  available  to  offset  taxable  income  as  of  December  31,  1998 was
approximately  $14.0  million  on  a cumulative basis.  Accordingly, If LifeCell
generates  taxable  income  in  any  year  in  excess  of  its  then  cumulative
limitation,  the Company may be required to pay federal income taxes even though
it  has  unexpired  NOL  carryforwards.

SPECIAL  NOTE  REGARDING  FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS  AND  RISK  FACTORS

Certain  of  the  statements  contained  in  this  report  are  forward-looking
statements.  While these statements reflect the Company's beliefs as of the date
of  this  report,  they  are subject to uncertainties and risks that could cause
actual results to differ materially.  In addition, the operations and activities
of  the  Company  and  investments  in  its  securities  are  subject to certain
significant  risks.  These risks include, but are not limited to, the demand for
the  Company's  products  and  services,  economic  and  competitive conditions,
competitive  products and technologies, uncertainty of patent protection, access
to  borrowed  or  equity capital on favorable terms, and other risks detailed in
the  Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

YEAR  2000  COMPLIANCE

In  recent  years,  the Company has been replacing and enhancing its information
systems  to  gain  operational  efficiencies  and  keep  pace with the Company's
growth.  In  conjunction  with  these activities, the Company has been preparing
its  information  systems  for  the  year  2000.

The  Company  has completed a comprehensive assessment of the impact of the year
2000  on  its  internal information systems and applications and intends to make
the  necessary  revisions  or  upgrades  to its systems to render them year 2000
compliant.  The  Company  is  also focusing on compliance attainment efforts and
key  interfaces  with  vendors.  To date, all of the Company's critical software
applications  have  been  certified Year 2000 compliant.  The Company's computer
hardware  is  in  the  process of final testing, and the Company expects that it
will  be compliant by the second quarter of 1999.  Notwithstanding the Company's
efforts,  the  Company  could  experience  disruptions  to  some  aspects of its
activities  and  operations as a result of non-compliant systems utilized by the
company  or  unrelated  third  parties.  The  company  is  therefore, developing
contingency  plans  to  mitigate  the extent of any such potential disruption to
business  operations.  The  Company does not expect that the costs of addressing
potential  year 2000 issues will have a material adverse impact on the Company's
results  of  operations  or  financial  position.

There  can be no assurances that the efforts or the contingency plans related to
the  Company's  systems,  or those of others relied upon by the Company, will be
successful  or  that  any  failure to convert, upgrade or plan appropriately for
contingencies  would  not  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company.

The foregoing statements are intended to be and are hereby designated "Year 2000
Readiness Disclosure" statements within the meaning of the Year 2000 Information
and  Readiness  Disclosure  Act.

ITEM  3.  QUANTITATIVE  AND  QUALITATIVE  DISCLOSURES  ABOUT  MARKET  RISK.

None.

PART  II.  OTHER  INFORMATION

ITEM  1.     LEGAL  PROCEEDINGS.

The  Company  from time to time may be subject to various claims in the ordinary
course  of  its operations.  The Company maintains insurance coverage for events
and  in  amounts  that  it  deems  appropriate.

ITEM  2.     CHANGE  IN  SECURITIES.

During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company sold 108,577 shares of
its  common stock, $0.001 par value per share, for an aggregate consideration of
$1  million  to  Boston  Scientific  Corporation,  pursuant  to the signing of a
distribution  agreement.  This  issuance  did  not  involve an underwriter.  The
Company considers these securities to have been offered and sold in transactions
not involving a public offering and, therefore, to be exempted from registration
under  Section  4(2)  of  the  Securities  Act  of  1933,  as  amended.
