                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                                 JUNE 30, 1997
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
(1)SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  The accompanying unaudited financial information of Cell Therapeutics, Inc.
(the "Company") as of June 30, 1997 and for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996 has been prepared in accordance with the instructions
to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, such financial information
includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at such
date and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating
results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire
year. These financial statements and the related notes should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited annual financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 1996 included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1996, and the Company's unaudited financial statements for
the quarter ended March 31, 1997 included in the Company's quarterly report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.
 
  Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation.
 
(2)SIGNIFICANT AGREEMENTS
 
  Under the terms of a collaboration and license agreement with Ortho Biotech,
Inc. and the R.W. Johnson Pharmaceutical Research Institute (a division of
Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation) each of which are wholly-owned subsidiaries
of Johnson & Johnson (collectively, "Johnson & Johnson") for the joint
development and commercialization of Lisofylline, Johnson & Johnson has
agreed, subject to certain termination rights, to fund up to $12,000,000 of
the Company's budgeted development costs per year for each of 1997 and 1998.
The Company recorded $3,266,060 and $5,266,980 of collaboration agreement
revenues related to the reimbursement of development expenses by Johnson &
Johnson for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, respectively.
 
(3)NET LOSS PER SHARE
 
  In February 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which is required to be adopted after December
31, 1997. Statement No. 128 supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
15. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently
used to calculate net loss per share and to restate prior periods. At June 30,
1997 and 1996 and December 31, 1996, there is no material impact on the
Company's calculations of net loss per share.
 
  The pro forma net loss per share is computed based on net loss per share
adjusted for the assumed conversion of all outstanding shares of convertible
preferred stock into common stock at the time of issuance.

OVERVIEW
 
  Cell Therapeutics, Inc. ("cti" or the "Company") focuses on the discovery,
development and commercialization of small molecule drugs for the treatment of
cancer and inflammatory and immune diseases. Since commencement of operations
in 1992, the Company has been engaged in research and development activities,
including conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, recruiting its
scientific and management personnel, establishing laboratory facilities and
raising capital. The Company has not received any revenue from the sale of
products to date and does not expect to receive revenues from the sale of
products for at least the next several years.
 
  In the fourth quarter of 1995 the Company began to receive revenue under a
collaboration agreement with an affiliate of BioChem Pharma, Inc. ("BioChem
Pharma") and in the fourth quarter of 1996 the Company began to receive
revenue under a collaboration agreement (the "Collaboration Agreement") with
subsidiaries of Johnson & Johnson ("Johnson & Johnson"). The Company expects
that its revenue sources for at least the next several years will consist
primarily of future expense reimbursements and milestone payments under its
collaboration agreements with Johnson & Johnson and BioChem Pharma, and of
interest income. The timing and amounts of such revenues will likely
fluctuate. The Company will be required to conduct significant research,
development and clinical activities during the next several years to fulfill
its obligations under the Collaboration Agreement with Johnson & Johnson.
There can be no assurance that Johnson & Johnson will not terminate the
Collaboration Agreement in accordance with its terms.
 
  As of June 30, 1997, the Company had incurred aggregate net losses of
approximately $84.6 million since its inception. The Company expects to
continue to incur significant additional operating losses over the next
several years as its research, development and clinical trial efforts expand.
Operating losses may fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of
differences in the timing of expenses incurred and revenues recognized. To
date, the Company's operations have been funded primarily from the sale of
equity securities, which have raised aggregate net proceeds of approximately
$132.8 million.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  Three months ended June 30, 1997 compared with three months ended June 30,
1996.
 
  During the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company recorded
approximately $3.3 million of revenues for development cost reimbursements
from Johnson & Johnson in accordance with the Collaboration Agreement. No
similar revenues were recorded for the corresponding period of 1996.
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
  Research and development expenses increased to approximately $6.8 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $4.1 million for the three
months ending June 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to expanded
research, manufacturing, preclinical and clinical-related development
activities, including the recruitment of additional personnel, with respect to
Lisofylline. The Company expects that research and development expenses will
increase significantly as the Company expands its research and development
programs and undertakes additional clinical trials, including research,
development and clinical activities undertaken pursuant to the Collaboration
Agreement with Johnson & Johnson.
 
  General and administrative expenses increased to approximately $2.1 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from approximately $1.5 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to
operating expenses associated with supporting the Company's increased
research, development and clinical activities. General and administrative
expenses are expected to continue to increase to support the Company's
expected increase in research, development and clinical trial efforts.
 
  Investment income primarily consists of interest income from investment of
the Company's cash reserves. Interest expense results primarily from the
financing of laboratory and other equipment. Investment income increased to
approximately $809,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from
approximately $248,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, reflecting an
increase in average cash balances and interest earned thereon. The increase in
average cash balances was due to the proceeds from the Company's initial
public offering and concurrent sale of common stock to Johnson & Johnson
completed late in the first quarter of 1997. Interest expense decreased to
approximately $97,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from
approximately $123,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. This decrease
was primarily due to lower average balances of outstanding long-term
obligations.
 
  Six months ended June 30, 1997 compared with six months ended June 30, 1996.
 
  During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company recorded
approximately $5.3 million of revenues for development cost reimbursements
from Johnson & Johnson in accordance with the Collaboration Agreement. During
the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company received a $3.0 million
signing fee from Schering AG ("Schering") pursuant to an agreement to
collaborate on the funding, research, development and commercialization of
Lisofylline and CT-2584. The Company's agreement with Schering terminated in
April 1996.
 
  Research and development expenses increased to approximately $12.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from approximately $7.4 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to expanded
research, manufacturing, preclinical and clinical-related development
activities, including the recruitment of additional personnel with respect to
Lisofylline.
 
  General and administrative expenses increased to approximately $4.1 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from approximately $3.5 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to operating
expenses associated with supporting the Company's increased research,
development and clinical activities, offset in part by legal costs associated
with the Schering agreement discussed above during the six months ended June
30, 1996.
 
  Investment income increased to approximately $1.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 from approximately $548,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1996. This increase was primarily associated with interest earnings on a
higher average cash balance between the six month periods due to the proceeds
of the Company's initial public offering and concurrent sale of common stock
to Johnson & Johnson completed late in the first quarter of 1997. Interest
expense decreased to approximately $206,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1997 from approximately $259,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. This
decrease was primarily due to lower average balances of outstanding long-term
obligations.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  The Company has financed its operations since inception primarily through
the sale of equity securities. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had raised
aggregate net proceeds of approximately $132.8 million from such
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
financing activities, including approximately $26.8 million net proceeds from
the sale of common stock in its initial public offering in March 1997 and $3.0
million from the sale of common stock to Johnson & Johnson concurrent with the
closing of the Company's initial public offering, $30.5 million and $16.9
million from the sale of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in 1995 and
1996, respectively, $5.0 million from the sale of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock to Johnson & Johnson in 1996, $49.3 million from the sale of
common stock in 1992 and 1993, $850,000 from a bridge loan which was
subsequently converted to equity, and approximately $400,000 from the exercise
of stock options and warrants. In addition, the Company financed the purchase
of approximately $11.4 million of property and equipment through financing
agreements, of which approximately $2.6 million remained outstanding as of
June 30, 1997.
 
  The Company's principal sources of liquidity are its cash balances, cash
equivalents and securities available-for-sale, which totaled approximately
$47.9 million as of June 30, 1997. The Company invests in U.S. government
obligations and other highly rated liquid debt instruments.
 
  The Company expects that its capital requirements will increase as the
Company expands its research and development programs and undertakes
additional clinical trials. In connection with such expansion, the Company
expects to incur substantial expenditures for hiring additional management,
scientific and administrative personnel, for planned expansion of its
facilities, and for the purchase or lease of additional equipment.
 
  The Company does not expect to generate a positive cash flow from operations
for several years due to substantial additional research and development
costs, including costs related to drug discovery, preclinical testing,
clinical trials, manufacturing costs and operating expenses associated with
supporting such activities. The Company expects that its existing capital
resources and the interest earned thereon, combined with anticipated funding
from Johnson & Johnson under the Collaboration Agreement, will enable the
Company to maintain its current and planned operations at least through the
end of 1998. In the event that Johnson & Johnson were to terminate its
participation in the Collaboration Agreement prior to such date, the Company
expects that it would eliminate certain presently planned development
activities. Furthermore, the Company will need to raise substantial additional
capital to fund its operations beyond such time. The Company's future capital
requirements will depend on, and could increase as a result of, many factors,
including the continuation of the Company's collaboration development
programs; the magnitude of such programs; the progress of preclinical testing
and clinical trials; the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory
approvals; the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining,
enforcing and defending patent claims; competing technological and market
developments; changes in collaborative relationships; the terms of any
additional collaborative arrangements that the Company may enter into; the
ability of the Company to establish research, development and
commercialization arrangements pertaining to products other than those covered
by existing collaborative arrangements; the cost of establishing manufacturing
facilities; the cost of commercialization activities and the demand for the
Company's products if and when approved.
 
  The Company intends to raise additional funds through additional equity or
debt financings, research and development financings, collaborative relations,
or otherwise. Because of these long-term capital requirements, the Company may
seek to access the public or private equity markets from time to time, even if
it does not have an immediate need for additional capital at that time. There
can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the
Company, or, if available, that it will be on acceptable terms. If additional
funds are raised by issuing equity securities, further dilution to
shareholders may result. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may
be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of its
research, development and clinical activities. The Company may also be
required to obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or
others that may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its
technologies, product candidates or products that the Company would otherwise
seek to develop or commercialize itself.
 
  As of June 30, 1997, the Company had available for Federal income tax
purposes net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $81 million and
research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $2.2 million.
These carryforwards begin to expire in 2007. The Company's ability to utilize
its net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards is
subject to an annual limitation in future periods pursuant to the "change in
ownership" rules under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
 
  The Company operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves a
number of risks, some of which are outside of the Company's control. The
following discussion highlights some of these risks and others are discussed
elsewhere herein and in other documents filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
  The time frame for market success for any of the Company's potential
products is long and uncertain. The Company is at its development stage and
its technology is unproven. All of the Company's proposed products are in
research or development and will require significant additional research and
development efforts prior to any commercial use, including extensive
preclinical and clinical testing as well as lengthy regulatory approval. There
can be no assurance that the Company's research and development and clinical
trial efforts will be successful, that its lead drug candidate, Lisofylline,
or any of its other proposed products, will prove to be safe and efficacious
in clinical trials or meet applicable regulatory standards, that unforeseen
problems will not develop with the Company's technologies or applications, or
that any commercially successful products will ultimately be developed by the
Company. The Company faces substantial competition from a variety of sources,
both direct and indirect. There can be no assurance that research and
discoveries by others will not render some or all of the Company's programs or
products noncompetitive or obsolete or that the Company will be able to keep
pace with technological developments or other market factors.
 
  The Company is dependent on the future payments from Johnson & Johnson under
the Collaboration Agreement to continue the development and commercialization
of Lisofylline as presently planned. There can be no assurance that Johnson &
Johnson will be able to establish effective sales and distribution
capabilities or will be successful in gaining market acceptance for
Lisofylline, that Johnson & Johnson will devote sufficient resources to the
commercialization of products under the Collaboration Agreement or that
Johnson & Johnson will not terminate the Collaboration Agreement in accordance
with its terms. The Company's products under development have never been
manufactured on a commercial scale and there can be no assurance that such
products can be manufactured at a cost or in quantities necessary to make them
commercially viable. However, the Company has initiated commercial scale
manufacturing in early 1997. The Company currently has no internal
manufacturing facilities and has no experience in sales, marketing or
distribution. If the Company develops any additional products with commercial
potential outside of the Johnson & Johnson collaboration, it may seek to enter
into collaborative arrangements with other parties which have established
manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution capabilities or may need to
develop such resources on its own.
 
  The foregoing risks reflect the Company's early stage of development and the
nature of the Company's industry and potential products. Other risk factors
that may affect the Company's future results include competition,
uncertainties regarding protection of patents and proprietary rights,
government regulation and uncertainties regarding pharmaceutical pricing and
reimbursement.

</TABLE>
 
  The Company's Stockholders also approved a proposal for the adoption of
amendments to the Company's 1994 Equity Incentive Plan (the "1994 Plan") to
(i) increase the maximum number of shares issuable under the 1994 Plan by an
additional 1,000,000 shares to a total of 2,336,715 shares; (ii) impose a
233,671-share limit on the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which
any one individual may be granted stock options, stock appreciation rights and
direct stock awards in the aggregate per calendar year under the 1994 Plan;
and (iii) effect a series of additional changes to the provisions of the 1994
Plan (including the stockholder approval requirements, the transferability of
nonstatutory stock options, the elimination of the six (6)-month holding
period requirement as a condition to the exercise of stock options and stock
appreciation rights by officers and Directors and the elimination of certain
restrictions of non-employee Directors to serve as an administrator of the
1994 Plan) in order to take advantage of the recent amendments to Rule 16b-3
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") which exempts certain
officer and director transactions under the 1994 Plan from the short-swing
liability provisions of the Federal securities laws. With respect to this
proposal there were 1,034,971 votes cast for the proposal, 264,685 votes cast
against the proposal, 3,545 abstentions and 1,173,374 broker non-votes.
 
  The Company's Stockholders also approved a proposal for the grant to each
non-employee Director of a fully-vested nonstatutory stock option to purchase
14,285 shares of Common Stock, other than Dr. Link, who was granted a fully-
vested nonstatutory stock option to purchase 28,570 shares of Common Stock.
With respect to this proposal there were 1,255,965 votes cast for the
proposal, 43,441 votes cast against the proposal, 3,795 abstentions and
1,173,374 broker non-votes.
 
  The Company's stockholders also approved a proposal to amend the Company's
1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan") to change the formula
by which the purchase price of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of an option granted under the Purchase Plan will be calculated. The
