                     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
product,  AlloDerm  ,  an  acellular  dermal  graft,  during  1994.  The  future
operating  results  of  the  Company will be principally dependent on the market
acceptance  of  its  current  product,  development  of and market acceptance of
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,  1999.

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,  1999.

     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

4.   DIVIDENDS  PAYABLE  ON  SERIES  B  PREFERRED  STOCK

     The  Series B Preferred Stock bears cumulative dividends, payable quarterly
for  five  years  through  November 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 2000, the Company paid dividends on the Series
B  Preferred  Stock  of  $176,553,  and  accrued  dividends  of  $162,135.  Such
dividends  are  payable  on  May  15,  2000.

5.   LONG-TERM  DEBT

     On  December  6, 1999 the Company entered into a $6 million credit facility
with  a  financial institution and the New Jersey Economic Development Authority
("NJEDA").  The loan provides for a revolving portion (the "Revolving Loan") not
to  exceed  $3  million  and  two  term portions (the "Term Loans") one for $2.5
million  and the other for $.5 million.  The Revolving Loan bears an interest of
prime  plus  3% (12% at March 31, 2000) with a minimum rate of 9% and matures on
January  31,  2001 with provisions for automatic renewal for additional terms of
one  year  each.  As  of  March  31,  2000,  $3  million  was outstanding on the
Revolving  Loan.  On February 25, 2000 the Company borrowed $2,500,000 under one
of  the  "Term Loans".  The Term Loan exercised by the Company bears an interest
rate of  14.21% and is payable in 30 equal monthly installments of principal and
interest beginning October 1, 2000 and continuing through and including March 1,
2003.


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.



7.   NEW  ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff
Accounting  Bulletin  No.  101,  "Revenue  Recognition  in Financial Statements"
("SAB101").  The  bulletin  draws  on  existing  accounting  rules  and provides
specific  guidance  on  how  those  accounting  rules  should  be  applied,  and
specifically  addresses revenue recognition for non-refundable technology access
fees  in  the  biotechnology  industry.  SAB  101  is effective for fiscal years
beginning  after  December  15, 1999.  The Company is evaluating SAB 101 and the
effect  it  may  have  on  its  financial statements.  At this time, the Company
believes  that SAB 101 will not have a material impact on its financial position
or  results  of  operations.



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 Corporation is a bioengineering company engaged in the development
and  commercialization  of  tissue  regeneration and cell preservation products.
Our  core  preservation  technology  produces  an acellular tissue matrix, which
retains the essential biochemical and structural components necessary for normal
tissue  regeneration.  We  currently  market  three  products  based  on  this
technology:  AlloDerm  for  the reconstructive plastic, burn and dental markets;
Cymetra  a  micronized  version  of  AlloDerm for the reconstructive plastic and
dermatology  markets;  and  Repliform  acellular  tissue  for  the  urology  and
gynecology  market.  We  believe  that  our  products  are the only commercially
available  tissue  transplant  products that provide a complete template for the
regeneration  of  normal  human soft tissue.  We estimate that AlloDerm has been
transplanted  in  more  than  50,000  patients.  We  also are developing several
additional  products, including small diameter vascular grafts as an alternative
to  autografted  blood  vessels, orthopedic applications of our acellular tissue
matrix,  and  ThromboSolTM  a  formulation  for  extended  storage of platelets.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

THREE  MONTHS  ENDED  MARCH  31,  2000  AND  1999


     Total  revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000, increased 85% to
approximately  $4.8  million compared to approximately $2.6 million for the same
period  of  1999.  The  increase was primarily attributable to a 91% increase in
product sales to approximately $4.4 million in the current period as compared to
$2.3  million in the prior year.  The increase in product sales is the result of
expanded  direct  sales  and  marketing activities, increased pricing of certain
AlloDerm  products  during  the  second  half of 1999 and increased sales volume
related  to  the  full launch of Repliform through our partner Boston Scientific
Corporation.  The  Company  signed  a  sales and marketing agreement with Boston
Scientific  in March 1999.  Total revenue was further impacted by a 32% increase
in  funded  research grant revenues of $0.4 million from $0.3 million during the
same  period  in  1999. This increase is primarily due to the increased level of
funding  available  for  research  activities  as compared to the same period of
1999.

     Cost  of  goods  sold  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2000 was
approximately  $1.2  million  resulting  in a gross margin of approximately 73%,
compared to cost of goods sold of approximately $0.8 million and gross margin of
65%  for  the same period of 1999.  The increase in gross margin was principally
attributable to pricing benefits resulting from the Company's change during 1999
to  direct  distribution of its reconstructive plastic products to hospitals and
doctors'  offices  rather  than  through third party distributors.  In addition,
increases  in sales mix of certain higher margin AlloDerm products together with
certain  price  increases  contributed  to  the  improved  gross  margin.

     Total research and development expenses increased 15% to approximately $1.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to approximately $1.1
million for the same period of 1999. The increased expenses are due primarily to
higher  expenditures in the cell preservation government funded projects for the
three month period ended March 31, 2000, as compared to the same period of 1999.

     General and  Administrative  expenses  decreased  7%  to approximately $1.2
million  for  the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $1.3 million for
the  same period of 1999.  The decrease was due to a combination of professional
fees  incurred  relating  to a sales and marketing agreement entered into during
the  first  quarter  of  1999,  offset in part by higher salary costs during the
first  quarter of 2000 relating to the hiring of management personnel during the
second  half  of  1999.

     Selling  and marketing expenses increased 39% to approximately $2.3 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to approximately $1.6 million
for  the  same period last year.  The increase was primarily attributable to the
hiring of domestic sales and marketing personnel during the second half of 1999,
the  expansion  of  domestic marketing activities and the agency fees associated
with  the  sales  and  marketing  agreement  with  Boston  Scientific.

     Interest  income  (expense)  and  other,  net  decreased approximately $0.2
million  for  the  three  months ended March 31, 2000 compared to same period of
1999.  The  decrease was due to a combination of a decline in cash available for
investment  and interest costs associated with the revolving and long-term notes
debt  financing.

     The  net  loss  for the three months ended March 31, 2000, decreased 45% to
approximately  $1.2  million compared to approximately $2.1 million for the same
period  of  1999.  This decrease in loss was primarily attributable to increased
AlloDerm  sales  volume  and  the  full launch of Repliform, partially offset by
increased  infrastructure  costs.



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.

     As  of  March  31,  2000,  the  Company  had  cash  and cash equivalents of
approximately  $4.1  million.  At March 31, 2000 the Company had an aggregate of
approximately  $5.5  million outstanding under its borrowing arrangements, which
is  repayable  over  the next 36 months. The amount of principal to be repaid by
the  Company  over the next 12 months is approximately $0.6 million. The Company


                                        7
<PAGE>
has an additional borrowing availability of $.5 million on its $6 million credit
facility.  The  Company  has  available  an  additional  $0.6 million through an
incentive  financing  package  provided  by  the New Jersey Economic Development
Authority.

     The  Company's operating activities used cash of approximately $2.9 million
for  the  three-month  period  ended  March 31, 2000 to fund its operating loss,
decreases  in  accrued  liabilities  and  increased  inventories  and  accounts
receivable  for  the period.  For the period ended March 31, 1999, the Company's
operating  activities  used  cash  of  approximately  $2.5  million  to fund its
operating  loss  and  increased  inventories  and  accounts  receivable.

     For  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2000,  the  Company's investing
activities  used  cash of approximately $1.7 million for the purchase of capital
equipment  and  leasehold  improvements  relating  to  the completion of the New
Jersey  facility.  The Company's investing activities for the three months ended
March  31,  1999 provided cash of approximately $3.9 million principally through
the  sales  of  short-term  investments.

     The  Company's financing activities provided approximately $3.9 million for
the  three month period ended March 31, 2000 primarily from the takedown of $2.5
million  of  long-term  debt and approximately $1.6 million in proceeds from the
exercise of stock options and warrants, partially offset by dividends paid.  For
the  period  ended  March  31, 1999, the Company's financing activities provided
approximately  $0.75  million as a result of the sale of common stock, partially
offset  by  dividends  paid.

     LifeCell  expects  to  incur  substantial  expenses  in connection with its
efforts  to  expand  sales  and marketing of AlloDerm, develop expanded uses for
AlloDerm, 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  the  proceeds  from  the  available  financing  and 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 2000 and 2001, 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.



SPECIAL  NOTE  REGARDING  FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS  AND  RISK  FACTORS

     Statements  contained  in  this  report  other  than  historical  facts are

ITEM  2.  CHANGES  IN  SECURITIES  AND  USE  OF  PROCEEDS

     During  the  three  months ended March 31, 2000, the Company issued 351,460
shares  of  common  stock in exchange for warrants to purchase 380,032 shares of
common  stock  for consideration of approximately $1.3 million.  During the same
period  the  Company  issued  86,311  shares of common stock for the exercise of
employee  stock  options for consideration of approximately $0.4 million. During
the  same  period, the Company issued 435,028 shares of common stock in exchange
for 13,486 shares of convertible Series B preferred stock (convertible at a rate
of  32.2578  common  shares for each share of preferred stock). These issues 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 the registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933,  as  amended.

                                                                  ---------
made  as  of  April 27, 2000, among LifeCell Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the  "Company"),  and  the  Stockholders  (as  defined  below).

     Vector  Later-Stage  Equity Fund, L.P. ("Vector"), CIBC WMV, Inc. ("CIBC"),
and  the  other  Persons identified as "Stockholders" on Annex A attached hereto
                                                         -------
(collectively,  the  "Stockholders") and the Company are parties to that certain
Securities  Purchase  Agreement  dated  November  18,  1996  (the  "Purchase
                                                                    --------
Agreement"),  pursuant  to  which  the  Stockholders  purchased  shares  of  the
Company's  Series  B  Preferred  Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Series B
                                                                        --------

value  $.001  per share (each, a "Warrant").  The Investors and the Company also
                                  -------
are  parties  to  that certain Voting Agreement dated November 18, 1996, entered
into  in  connection  with  the  Purchase  Agreement, as amended and restated in
December  1998  (the  "Voting  Agreement").  Subsequent  to  the  execution  and
delivery  of the Voting Agreement, certain events have occurred that have caused
the  Stockholders  and  the  Company to desire to amend the Voting  Agreement to
take  into  account  such events, and the Stockholders and the Company desire to
enter  into  certain other amendments to the Voting Agreement.  Accordingly, the
Stockholders  and the Company desire to enter into this Agreement to effect such
amendments  to  the  Voting  Agreement  by  amending  and  restating  the Voting
Agreement  in  its  entirety.

     The  Company  and  the  Stockholders  hereby  agree  as  follows:

     1.   Certain  Definitions.
