INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' 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 November 30, 2000, and the related statements of
operations for the three-month period ended November 30, 2000 and 1999, and
statements of operations and cash flows for the six-month periods ended November
30, 2000 and 1999 and for the period from June 19, 1985 (inception) through
November 30, 2000. We have also reviewed the statements of shareholders' equity
(deficit) for the six-month period ended November 30, 2000 and for the period
from June 19, 1985 (inception) through November 30, 2000. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, the balance sheet of Northfield
Laboratories Inc. as of May 31, 2000, 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, 2000 (not presented
herein); and in our report dated June 29, 2000, 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, 2000 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
November 30, 2000
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim financial statements presented are unaudited but, in the
opinion of management, have been prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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, 2001. The interim financial statements should be read in
connection with the audited financial statements for the year ended May
31, 2000.
(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> 13
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
Since Northfield's incorporation in 1985, we have devoted substantially
all of our efforts and resources to the research, development and clinical
testing of our potential product, PolyHeme(TM). We have incurred operating
losses during each year of our operations since inception and expect to incur
substantial additional operating losses for the next several years. From
Northfield's inception through November 30, 2000, we have incurred operating
losses totaling $82,085,000.
Our success will depend on several factors, including our ability to
obtain Food & Drug Administration regulatory approval of PolyHeme and our
manufacturing facilities, obtain sufficient quantities of blood to manufacture
PolyHeme in commercial quantities, manufacture and distribute PolyHeme in a
cost-effective manner, and enforce our patent positions. We have experienced
significant delays in the development and clinical testing of PolyHeme. We
cannot ensure that we will be able to achieve these goals or that we will be
able to realize product revenues or profitability on a sustained basis or at
all.
We anticipate that research and development expenses will increase
during the foreseeable future. These expected increases are attributable to
anticipated future clinical trials, monitoring and reporting the results of
these trials and continuing process development associated with improving our
manufacturing capacity to permit commercial-scale production of PolyHeme. We
expect that general and administrative expenses will increase over the
foreseeable future due to increased expenses relating to the expansion of our
organization in support of expanded commercial operations.
<PAGE> 14
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We reported no revenues for either of the three-month periods ended
November 30, 2000 or 1999. From Northfield's inception through November 30,
2000, we have reported total revenues of $3,000,000, all of which were derived
from licensing fees.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses for our second fiscal quarter ended November 30,
2000 totaled $2,795,000, a decrease of $91,000 from the $2,886,000 reported in
the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. Measured on a percentage basis,
total expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 decreased by 3.2%. This
decrease was due to the lower costs of conducting our clinical trials.
Research and development expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2001
totaled $2,237,000, a decrease of $125,000, or 5.3%, from the $2,362,000,
reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The majority of the decrease in
research and development expenses resulted from reduced costs associated with
our clinical trials, offsetting cost increases in labor and purchased services.
The clinical trials continue to shift from field work in the hospitals to data
accumulation and analysis resulting in lower period costs. Phase II and Phase
III trials remain active in the field, but patient accrual has slowed.
<PAGE> 15
For the six-month period ended November 30, 2000, research and
development expenses of $4,475,000 was nearly identical to the $4,487,000 of
expense incurred in the comparable prior year period. Within the totals,
significant line item variations exist. Higher employment levels and salary
increases have pushed labor costs up while purchased services have decreased as
a 3rd party viral inactivation study conducted during the first half of the last
fiscal year has not been repeated. Clinical trial expenses have also decreased.
We anticipate that research and development expenses will remain stable
over the balance of the fiscal year. Beyond that, we expect these expenses to
increase significantly. Additional costs are being planned for additional
multi-center clinical trials, third party clinical monitoring, biostatistical
analysis, report preparation, expanding our manufacturing organization and
developing additional sources of hemoglobin.
General and administrative expenses in the second quarter of fiscal
2001 totaled $558,000 compared to expenses of $524,000 in the second quarter of
2000, representing an increase of $34,000, or 6.5%. The increase was due to
costs associated with the contested proxy for the election of directors.
General and administrative expenses for the six-month period ended
November 30, 2000 totaled $1,428,000, which represents a $420,000, or 41.7%,
increase from the $1,008,000 in the comparable prior year period. All of the
increase was due to costs associated with the contested proxy for the election
of directors.
<PAGE> 16
INTEREST INCOME
Interest income in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 totaled $551,000,
or a $28,000 decrease from the $579,000 in interest income reported in the
second quarter of fiscal 2000. Higher interest rates in fiscal 2001 somewhat
offset lower available investment balances to account for the decrease. Interest
income is expected to remain below prior year levels for the remainder of fiscal
2001 as we continue to utilize our existing cash resources to fund our business.
Interest income for the six-month period ended November 30, 2000
totaled $1,141,000, or an $8,000 decrease from the comparable prior year period.
Higher interest rates in the current fiscal year offset declining investment
balances and combined to cause a modest decrease in interest income.
NET LOSS
The net loss for the second quarter ended November 30, 2000 was
$2,243,000, or $.16 per basic share, compared to a net loss of $2,307,000, or
$.16 per basic share, for the second quarter ended November 30, 1999.
For the six-month period ended November 30, 2000, Northfield reported a
loss of $4,761,000, or $.33 per basic share, compared to the comparable prior
year period results of a
<PAGE> 17
loss of $4,346,000, or $.31 per basic share. Higher general and administrative
expenses related to the contested proxy for the election of directors were the
primary reason for the increased per basic share loss.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
From Northfield's inception through November 30, 2000, we have used
cash for operating activities and for the purchase of engineering services and
property, plant and equipment in the amount of $82,430,000. For the six-month
periods ended November 30, 2000 and 1999, these cash expenditures totaled
$4,954,000, and $ 5,387,000, respectively. The decreased cash outlay for fiscal
2001 compared to the comparable prior year period reflects a decreased level of
capital spending.
We have financed our research and development and other activities to
date primarily through the public and private sale of equity securities and, to
a more limited extent, through the licensing of product rights. As of November
30, 2000, we had cash and marketable securities totaling $33,330,000.
We believe our existing capital resources will be adequate to satisfy
our operating capital requirements and maintain our existing manufacturing plant
and office facilities for approximately the next 24-36 months. Thereafter, we
are likely to require substantial additional capital to continue our operations.
We are currently unable to fund the construction of a large-scale greenfield
manufacturing facility, which is estimated to cost approximately $45 million,
without raising
<PAGE> 18
substantial additional capital. Currently, we have manufacturing capacity of
approximately 10,000 units annually. Initial engineering on the leased space
adjacent to our existing manufacturing facility is completed. This engineering
indicates an additional annual capacity of approximately 75,000 units could be
developed in approximately 16-18 months at an estimated cost of $23-26 million.
Without additional funding, the build-out of the adjacent space would reduce
the estimated life of our existing cash resources to less than one year.
Northfield has not yet committed to the build-out. We view the smaller facility
as financially prudent yet large enough for commercial viability.
We may enter into collaborative arrangements with strategic partners
which could provide us with additional funding or absorb expenses we would
otherwise be required to pay. We have engaged in discussions with a number of
potential strategic partners. These discussions are at various stages and we
cannot ensure that any of these arrangements will be consummated.
Our capital requirements may vary materially from those now anticipated
because of the results of our clinical testing of PolyHeme, the establishment of
relationships with strategic partners, changes in the scale, timing or cost of
our commercial manufacturing facility, competitive and technological advances,
the FDA regulatory process, changes in our marketing and distribution strategy
and other factors.
