INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT
The Board of Directors
Northfield Laboratories Inc.:
We have reviewed the balance sheet of Northfield Laboratories Inc. (a company in
the development stage) as of August 31, 1998, and the related statements of
operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended August 31, 1998 and
1997 and for the period from June 19, 1985 (inception) through August 31, 1998.
We have also reviewed the statements of shareholders' equity (deficit) for the
three-month period ended August 31, 1998 and for the period from June 19, 1985
(inception) through August 31, 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the balance sheet of Northfield Laboratories Inc. as of May 31, 1998,
and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit), and
cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from June 19, 1985
(inception) through May 31, 1998 (not presented herein); and in our report dated
July 6, 1998, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet as
of May 31, 1998 and in the accompanying statement of shareholders' equity
(deficit) is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
statement from which it has been derived.

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 1998
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim financial statements presented are unaudited but, in the
opinion of management, have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with those of
the annual financial statements. Such interim financial statements reflect
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations
for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the
interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the year ending May 31, 1999. The interim financial
statements should be read in connection with the audited financial
statements for the year ended May 31, 1998.
(2) COMPUTATION OF NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding and excludes the dilutive effect of unexercised common stock
equivalents. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding and includes the dilutive effect of
unexercised common stock equivalents. Because the Company reported a net
loss for all periods presented, per share amounts reflect the use of the
Basic method only.
<PAGE> 14
Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
Since its incorporation in 1985, Northfield Laboratories Inc. ("Northfield"
or the "Company") has devoted substantially all of its efforts and resources to
the research, development and clinical testing of its potential product,
PolyHeme. Northfield has incurred operating losses during each year of its
operations since inception and expects to incur substantial additional operating
losses for the next several years. From its inception to August 31, 1998,
Northfield incurred operating losses totaling $62,421,000.
The Company's success will depend on several factors, including its ability
to obtain Food & Drug Administration regulatory approval of PolyHeme and the
Company's manufacturing facilities, obtain sufficient quantities of blood to
manufacture PolyHeme in commercial quantities, manufacture and distribute
PolyHeme in a cost-effective manner, and enforce its patent positions. The
Company has experienced significant delays in the development and clinical
testing of PolyHeme. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
achieve these goals or that it will be able to realize product revenues or
profitability on a sustained basis or at all.
The Company anticipates that research and development expenses will
increase during the foreseeable future. These expected increases are
attributable to anticipated future clinical trials for domestic and
international markets, monitoring and reporting the results of such trials and
continuing process development associated with improving the Company's
<PAGE> 15
manufacturing capacity to permit commercial-scale production of PolyHeme. The
Company expects that general and administrative expenses will increase over the
foreseeable future due to increased expenses relating to the expansion of the
Company's organization in support of expanded commercial operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company reported no revenues for either of the three-month periods
ended August 31, 1998 or 1997. From its inception through August 31, 1998, the
Company has reported total revenues of $3,000,000, all of which were derived
from licensing fees.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses for the Company's first fiscal quarter ended August 31,
1998 totaled $2,397,000, an increase of $229,000 from the $2,168,000 reported in
the first quarter of fiscal 1998. Measured on a percentage basis, total expenses
in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 increased by 10.6%. This increase was
primarily due to increased costs associated with the Company's expanding
clinical trials.
<PAGE> 16
Research and development expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 1999
totaled $1,807,000, an increase of $221,000, or 13.9%, from the $1,586,000
reported in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The majority of the increase in
research and development expenses resulted from increases associated with
conducting and producing PolyHeme for use in the Company's clinical trials.
Phase II clinical trials remain open and are on-going, enrolling high volume
trauma patients. During the quarter, Northfield also started amortizing
accumulated capitalized engineering costs. The Company anticipates that research
and development expenses will increase over the next several quarters.
Additional costs are planned for expanded multi-center clinical trials,
third-party clinical monitoring as well as costs to manufacture additional
product.
General and administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 1999
totaled $591,000 compared to expenses of $582,000 in the first quarter of 1998,
representing an increase of $9,000, or 1.5%. Northfield continues to focus its
resources on research and development activities. The Company will continue to
prioritize research and development over general and administrative expenses.
INTEREST INCOME
Interest income in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 totaled $716,000, or a
$122,000 decrease from the $838,000 in interest income reported in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. Lower interest rates in fiscal 1999 combined with lower
available investment balances
<PAGE> 17
accounted for the decrease. Interest income is expected to remain below prior
year levels for the remainder of fiscal 1999 as the Company continues to utilize
its existing cash resources.
NET LOSS
The net loss for the first quarter ended August 31, 1998 was $1,681,000, or
$.12 per basic share, compared to a net loss of $1,330,000, or $.09 per basic
share, for the first quarter ended August 31, 1997. The increase in the loss per
basic share is primarily the result of the increase in the dollar loss.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
From its inception through August 31, 1998, the Company has used cash in
operating activities and for the purchase of property, plant, equipment and
engineering services in the amount of $61,529,000. For the three-month periods
ended August 31, 1998 and 1997, these cash expenditures totaled $2,218,000 and
$1,700,000, respectively. The net cash outlay for the first quarter of fiscal
1999 of $2,218,000 reflects the increased level of clinical trials currently
underway.
<PAGE> 18
The Company has financed its research and development and other activities
to date primarily through the public and private sale of its equity securities
and, to a more limited extent, through the license of product rights. As of
August 31, 1998, the Company had cash and marketable securities totaling
$51,286,000.
The Company believes its existing capital resources will be adequate to
satisfy its operating capital requirements and maintain its existing pilot
manufacturing plant and office facilities for approximately the next 36-48
months. Thereafter, the Company is likely to require substantial additional
capital to continue its operations. If the company uses its own resources to
fund the construction of a commercial-scale manufacturing facility, which is
estimated to cost approximately $45 million, it will significantly accelerate
the Company's need to raise additional capital.
The Company may enter into collaborative arrangements with strategic
partners which could provide the Company with additional funding or absorb
expenses otherwise payable by the Company. The Company has engaged in
discussions with a number of potential strategic partners, though these
discussions are at preliminary stages and there can be no assurance that any
such arrangement will be consummated.
The Company's capital requirements may vary materially from those now
anticipated because of the results of the clinical testing of PolyHeme, the
establishment of relationships with strategic partners, changes in the scale,
timing or cost of the Company's
<PAGE> 19
commercial manufacturing facility, competitive and technological advances, the
FDA regulatory process, changes in the Company's marketing and distribution
strategy and other factors.
YEAR 2000
The Company has reviewed its internal computer applications and has
consulted with its vendors who provide software services. The Company believes
it is substantially year 2000 compliant and that any required changes in coding
will be handled in a manner non-disruptive to the business and at a minimal
cost.
Northfield is dependent in its operations on a number of suppliers whose
individual status in achieving a year 2000 conversion is not known at this time.
In the event that Northfield or any of Northfield's significant suppliers
experience disruption due to the year 2000 issue, the Company's operations could
adversely affected.
