                              CELGENE CORPORATION
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 2002


1. Basis of Presentation
   ---------------------

          The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
from the books and records of Celgene Corporation and subsidiaries ("Celgene" or
the "Company") in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America for interim financial information pursuant to Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements.

          In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Interim results may not be indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year. Certain adjustments and reclassifications were made to
conform to the current year presentation.

          The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10K.


2. Earnings per Share
   ------------------

          "Basic" earnings (loss) per common share equals net income (loss)
divided by weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.
"Diluted" earnings per common share for the three month period ended March 31,
2001 equals net income divided by the sum of weighted average common shares
outstanding during the period plus common stock equivalents if dilutive. The
Company's basic and diluted per share amounts for the three month period ended
March 31, 2002 are the same since the assumed exercise of stock options and
warrants, and the conversion of convertible notes are all anti-dilutive because
of the loss incurred by the Company during this period. The amount of common
stock equivalents excluded from the calculation were 10,993,779 at March 31,
2002 and 4,695,804 at March 31, 2001.

6. Stockholders' Equity
   --------------------

Warrants to Acquire Common Stock

          Under the terms of a private placement of Series B Preferred Stock
entered into on June 9, 1997, the Company was obligated to issue warrants to
acquire a number of shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2002, there were a
total of 967,693 warrants outstanding. All such warrants have an exercise price
of $2.50 per share and expire on June 1, 2002.

Deferred Compensation Expense

          Prior to the Company's merger with Signal, Signal recorded an
aggregate of approximately $9.4 million of deferred compensation for stock
options granted from 1997 through 2000, representing the difference between the
option exercise price and the estimated fair value of the underlying stock for
financial statement presentation purposes. The deferred compensation is being
amortized over the vesting period of the options. Through March 31, 2002, the
Company has recorded approximately $7.4 million of compensation expense of which
approximately $442,000 and $705,000 was recorded during the three month periods
ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Upon the termination of certain
employees and consultants, the Company reversed approximately $875,000 of
unamortized deferred compensation relating to their unvested options through
March 31, 2002.

          The Company recorded compensation expense relating to stock options
and warrants issued to consultants, advisors or financial institutions and other
stock-based compensation of approximately $195,000 and $146,000 for the three
month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

PART 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

Results of Operations
---------------------
Three month period ended March 31, 2002 vs.
Three month period ended March 31, 2001
---------------------------------------

         Total revenue. Our total revenue for the three months ended March 31,
2002 increased 37% to $30.7 million compared to $22.4 million in the same period
of 2001. Revenue in 2002 consisted of THALOMID(R) sales of $26.2 million,
Focalin(TM) sales of $1.4 million, collaborative agreement revenue of $2.4
million and royalty revenue of $0.7 million on Ritalin(R) sales compared to
THALOMID(R) sales of $17.0 million, collaborative agreement revenue of $4.7
million and related-party collaborative agreement revenue of $0.6 million in the
same period of 2001. Increasing use of THALOMID(R) by oncologists in the
treatment of various types of cancer contributed to the 54% growth in product
sales. The decrease in collaborative agreement revenue is primarily attributable
to the completion of the amortization of the up-front payment from Novartis
Pharma AG related to the license agreement on Focalin(TM). Related-party
collaborative agreement revenue declined in 2002 as a result of the initial term
of our agreement with Axys Inc. ending in October 2001. The agreement has not
been extended. The first quarter 2002 marked the first reporting period for
royalty revenue related to sales of Ritalin(R) by Novartis Pharma AG. This
revenue stream was initiated by the successful launch of Focalin(TM) in January
2002.

         Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold during the first three months of
2002 was $3.7 million compared with approximately $2.7 million in the comparable
period in 2001. The cost of goods sold relates to both sales of THALOMID(R) and
Focalin(TM) and accordingly, the increase in cost of goods sold is related
primarily to the increased volume of THALOMID(R) sales and our first quarter
sales of Focalin(TM) to Novartis. Cost of goods sold for the first quarter of
2002 relating to Focalin(TM) sales was lower than the normal cost at standard as
some manufacturing costs incurred prior to Focalin's(TM) approval in November
2001 were expensed as research and development expenses. This favorability will
continue until the quantity previously expensed is completely sold.

                                       10



         Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses
consist primarily of salaries and benefits, contractor fees, principally with
contract research organizations to assist in our clinical development programs,
clinical drug supplies for our clinical and preclinical programs as well as
other consumable research supplies, and allocated facilities charges such as
building rent and utilities. Research and development expenses for the first
quarter of 2002 increased 33% to $17.5 million from $13.2 million in 2001.
During the first quarter of 2002, approximately $9.8 million was spent on
THALOMID(R) and its follow on compounds, the IMiDs(R) and SeLCIDs(TM), primarily
for preclinical toxicology, phase I/II and phase III clinical trials and
regulatory expenses. We spent approximately $7.2 million in our gene regulation,
target discovery and agro-chemical programs, primarily for internal headcount
related expenses, laboratory supplies and product development costs.

         As a percent of total revenue, research and development expenses were
approximately 57% and 59% for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. As a result of increasing revenue, research and development
expense will continue to decrease as a percent of total revenue although the
actual dollar amount will continue to increase as we move our earlier stage
compounds through preclinical and clinical programs. In general, time to
completion would be as follows:

                  Phase I -----  1-2 years
                  Phase II ----  2-3 years
                  Phase III ---  2-3 years

         Due to the significant risks and uncertainties inherent in preclinical
tests and clinical trials associated with each of our research and development
projects, the cost to complete such projects is not reasonably estimable. The
data obtained from these tests and trials may be susceptible to varying
interpretation that could delay, limit or prevent a project's advancement
through the various stages of clinical development, which would significantly
impact the costs incurred to bring a project to completion.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling expenses consist
of salaries and benefits for sales and marketing and customer service personnel,
warehousing and distribution costs, and other commercial expenses to support the
sales force and the education and registration efforts underlying the
S.T.E.P.S.(R) program. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of
salaries and benefits, outside services for legal, audit, tax and investor
activities and allocations of facilities costs, principally for rent, utilities
and property taxes. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
approximately 44% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $16.3 million
from $11.3 million in the same period in 2001. The increase was due primarily to
the expansion of the sales and marketing organization and related expenses, an
increase in customer service staff as well as expenses related to a new customer
service and enhanced S.T.E.P.S.(R) system (System for Thalidomide Education and
Prescribing Safety). As a percent of total revenue, selling, general and
administrative expenses were approximately 53% and 50% for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

                                       11



         Interest and other income and expense. Interest and other income for
the first three months of 2002 increased approximately 21% to approximately $6.0
million from $4.9 million in the same period in 2001. The increase was primarily
due to a realized gain of $1.2 million on the sale of a security in January,
2002.
         Interest expense for the first three months of 2002 decreased to
approximately $10,000 from approximately $32,000 in the same period in 2001. The
decrease was due primarily to the expiration of a three year capital equipment
lease in July, 2001.

         Net income (loss). We recorded a net loss of $823,000 in the three
month period ended March 31, 2002 compared to a gain of $113,000 in the same
period in 2001. The loss was due to the increase in costs and expenses of $10.3
million partially offset by increased revenue of $8.3 million and higher
interest and other income of $1.1 million.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources. Since inception, we have financed
our working capital requirements primarily through product sales, private and
public sales of our debt and equity securities, income earned on the investment
of proceeds from the sale of such securities and revenue from research contracts
and license and milestone payments. Since our initial product launch in the
third quarter of 1998, we have recorded net product sales totaling approximately
$202.0 million through March 31, 2002. We also received $37.5 million from two
separate research and license agreements during 2000 and 2001.

                                       12



         Our net working capital at March 31, 2002 decreased approximately 1.5%
to $302.0 million from $306.5 million at December 31, 2001. The decrease in
working capital was primarily due to lower total cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities offset by higher inventories.

         Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $7.5 million in the first
quarter of 2002 from $47.1 million at December 31, 2001 while investments in
marketable debt securities increased to $294.3 million from $262.9 million in
the same period. Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
decreased by approximately $8.2 million reflecting the increase in research and
development and selling, general and administrative spending during the first
quarter of 2002.

         We expect that our rate of spending will increase as the result of
research and product development spending, increased clinical trial costs,
increased expenses associated with the regulatory approval process and
commercialization of products currently in development, increased costs related
to the commercialization of THALOMID(R) and increased capital investments. On
February 16, 2000, we completed a public offering of 10,350,000 shares of our
common stock. Proceeds from the transaction net of expenses, were approximately
$278.0 million. These funds, combined with the increasing revenue from sales of
Thalomid(R) and various research agreements and collaborations are expected to
provide sufficient capital for our operations for the foreseeable future.

Contractual Obligations

         Our major outstanding contractual obligations relate to our operating
(facilities) leases. Our facilities lease expense in future years will increase
over previous years as a result of a new lease arrangement entered into in 2001.

         We lease a 44,500-square foot laboratory and office facility in Warren,
New Jersey, under a lease with an unaffiliated party, which has a term ending in
May 2002 with three five-year renewal options, and an adjoining 29,000-square
foot area which has a lease term ending in July 2010 with two five-year renewal
options. Monthly rental expenses for this facility are approximately $64,000. We
also lease an 18,000-square foot laboratory and office facility in North
Brunswick, New Jersey, under a lease with an unaffiliated party which has a term
ending in December 2009 with two five-year renewal options. Monthly rental
expenses for this facility are approximately $46,000. We believe that our
laboratory facilities are adequate for our research and development activities
for at least the next 12 months.

                                       13


         We also lease offices and research facilities in San Diego, California
under three operating lease agreements for our Signal Research operations. The
minimum annual rents are subject to specified annual rental increases. Signal
also reimburses the lessor for taxes, insurance and operating costs associated
with the leases. Monthly rental expense for these facilities is approximately
$81,000. Under the terms of the lease, we have an outstanding letter of credit
for $150,000 in favor of the lessor, which is fully collateralized by cash. In
December 2001, we entered into a new ten-year lease for a 78,200 square foot
facility to consolidate the Signal Research Division into one building. It is
anticipated that we will occupy that facility during the fourth quarter of 2002.
Monthly rental expense will be approximately $172,000. Rental expense will be
incurred when we occupy the building. We intend to sublease the current
facilities until the lease expires in 2003.

We have entered into agreements with various contractors to improve the new
facility we are leasing in San Diego, California. Under such agreements, we have
contracted to spend approximately $6.7 million for tenant improvements in the
new research facility and expend to expend funds on this project over the next
seven months. This project will be funded through our current capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies

         In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants discuss their
most "critical accounting policies" in management's discussion and analysis of
financial condition and results of operations. The SEC indicated that a
"critical accounting policy" is one which is both important to the portrayal of
the company's financial condition and results and requires management's most
difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to
make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. While
our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our
consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10K, we
believe the following accounting policy to be critical:

         Revenue Recognition. We have formed collaborative research and
development agreements and alliances with several pharmaceutical companies.
These agreements are in the form of research and development and license
agreements. The agreements are for both early and late stage compounds and are
focused on specific disease areas. For the early stage compounds, the agreements
are relatively short term agreements that are renewable depending on the success
of the compounds as they move through preclinical development. The agreements
call for nonrefundable upfront payments, milestone payments on achieving
significant milestone events, and in some cases on going research funding. The
agreements also contemplate royalty payments on sales if and when the compound
receives FDA marketing approval.

                                       14


         In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101")
Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, upfront payments are recorded as
deferred revenue and recognized over the estimated service period. If the
estimated service period is subsequently modified, the period over which the
upfront fee is recognized is modified accordingly on a prospective basis.
Revenue from the achievement of research and development milestones, which
represent the achievement of a significant step in the research and development
process, are recognized when and if the specific milestones are achieved.
Continuation of certain contracts is dependent upon our achieving specific
contractual milestones; however, none of the payments received to date are
refundable regardless of the outcome of the project. Research funding is
recorded in the period during which the expenses covered by the funding
occurred.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our holdings of financial instruments are comprised of commercial paper, U.S.
government and corporate securities. These financial instruments may be
classified as securities available for sale and carried at fair value or held to
maturity and carried at amortized cost depending upon our intent. Securities
classified as available for sale are held for an indefinite period of time and
are intended to be used to meet the ongoing liquidity needs of the Company.
Unrealized gains and losses (which are deemed to be temporary) on available for
sale securities, if any are reported as a separate component of stockholders'
equity. The cost of all debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums
and accretion of discounts to maturity. The amortization, along with realized
gains and losses, is included in interest and other income. We do not use
financial derivatives for investment or trading purposes. As of March 31, 2002,
all securities have been classified as available for sale.

We have established guidelines relative to diversification and maturities to
maintain safety and liquidity. These guidelines are reviewed periodically and
may be modified depending on market conditions. Although our investments are
subject to credit risk, our Investment Policy specifies credit quality standards
for our investments and limits the amount of credit exposure from any single
issue, issuer or type of investment. Our investments are also subject to
interest rate risk and will decrease in value if market interest rates increase.
Due to the limited number of foreign currency transactions, our foreign exchange
currency risk is minimal. The table below presents the principal amounts and
related weighted average interest rates by year of maturity for our investment
portfolio as of March 31, 2002:

At March 31, 2002, our 9% January 1999 and July 1999 convertible notes with
outstanding principal amounts of $1,713,600 and $10,000,000, respectively no
longer accrue interest. These convertible notes are convertible into our common
stock at a conversion price of $6.00 and $6.33 per share, respectively. The fair
value of fixed interest rate instruments are affected by changes in interest
rates and in the case of the convertible notes by changes in the price of our
common stock. An increase in the price of our common stock results in an
increase in the fair value of the convertible notes.
