CELSION CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Cheung
Laboratories, Inc. (the"Company") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The
September 30, 1997 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements.
The balance sheet as of March 31, 1998 and the statements of operations for the
three and six-month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, and the statements of
cash flows for the six month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, are
unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position at such dates and the operating results and cash flows
for those periods. Although the Company believes that the disclosures in these
financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading, certain information normally included in financial statements and
related footnotes prepared in accordance with generally-accepted accounting
principles has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year
ended September 30, 1997, which were included as part of the Company's Report on
Form 10-K/A.

Note 2. Common Stock Outstanding and Per Share Information

Net loss per common and common equivalent share was computed by dividing
net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock. For the six
months ended March 31, 1998 and the comparable prior year period, weighted
average shares increased to 32,584,716 from 25,433,061. The increase is due
primarily to certain conversions of convertible notes and debts, issuance of
common stock for certain private placements, exercise of stock options, and
executive compensation. In accordance with the requirements of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 128, which the Company adopted as of December 31, 1997,
common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per
share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Note 3. Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of actual cost or market and cost is
determined using the average cost matter. The components of inventories on
3/31/1998 and 9/30/1997 are as follows:

Item 2               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The statements in this report that relate to future plans, events or
performance are forward-looking statements. Actual results, events or
performance may differ materially due to a variety of factors, including the
factors described on the Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 1997.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no
obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these
forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances
after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Overview

Celsion Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of
Maryland in 1982 under the name A.Y. Cheung Associates, Inc. The Company changed
its name to Cheung Laboratories, Inc. on June 31, 1984 and to Celsion
Corporation on May 1, 1998. It has been engaged in developing and marketing
minimally invasive thermotherapy devices utilized in the treatment of cancer as
well as genitourinary diseases associated with benign growth of the prostate in
older males, the most common being benign prostatic hyperplasia ("BPH").
Thermotherapy (also known as hyperthermia), or heat therapy, is a historically
recognized successful method of treatment. In modern thermotherapy, a controlled
heat dose is targeted to treatment sites using microwave and/or other energy for
therapeutic benefits. Thermotherapy is a clinically established, adjuvant
modality for at least doubling tumor response to radiation therapy or
chemotherapy. However, delivering the necessary heat within the body without
damaging surrounding tissue has been a major impediment to the use of
thermotherapy for deep seated disease. The Company has an exclusive license from
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ("MIT") for adaptive phase array
("APA") technology which the Company believes will overcome this problem. This
technology, originally developed for the Strategic Defense Initiative (Star
Wars) plans of the Department of Defense, applies adaptive phased arrays of
microwave energy in conjunction with traditional radiation or chemotherapy for
the deep heating of breast, prostate and other deep seated cancers.

The Company will be concentrating its business on the development of
two recently acquired technologies: (i) from MIT, APA targeting of microwave
energy, which the Company believes will have broad cancer and other medical
applications, and (ii) balloon catheter technology for enhanced thermotherapy of
BPH and other genitourinary tract conditions. While the balloon catheter
technology is related to the Company's previous BPH thermotherapy devices, the
Company believes the APA technology has the potential to serve as the core
technology for a broad array of medical devices, and accordingly the Company
will devote most of its resources to the exploitation of the APA technology.

Results of Operations

Six Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1998

The Company is concentrating on the development of the new technologies
it recently acquired to significantly expand the capabilities and market for its
products and has ceased active sales of its current equipment. The Company
received revenue of $110,260 in the six months ended March 31, 1998, compared to
revenue of $113,293 in the same period in the prior fiscal year. With the focus
on the development and marketing of the new thermotherapy systems utilizing the
patented technologies, the Company anticipates that most of its future revenue
will be generated by treatments administered utilizing its thermotherapy systems
and the sales of disposable kits. Revenue from the new technologies is not
expected until the new technologies are developed and approved for sale by
governmental regulatory agencies.

Cost of sales for the six months ended March 31, 1998 was $45,500,
compared to $44,111 in the six months ended March 31, 1997.

Research and development expense increased to $601,107 in the six
months ended March 31, 1998 from $42,101 in the six months ended March 31, 1997
due to increased emphasis on technology enhancements. The year to year increase
reflects the increased availability of funds for research during the current
year period. The Company expects to significantly increase its expenditures for
research and development to fund the development or enhancement of products by
incorporating the APA technology and the MMTC technology.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased substantially to
$1,341,069 in the six months ended March 31, 1998 from $974,011 in the six
months ended March 31, 1997. The higher expenses were primarily due to the
increase in consulting and legal expenses, and compensation expenses, including
$234,375 in compensation expense recorded for the 250,000 shares of common stock
issued to Spencer Volk. The Company expects selling and marketing expense to
increase substantially as it expands its advertising and promotional activities
and increases its marketing and sales force, in anticipation of the
commercialization of its new thermotherapy systems.

Interest expense decreased to $43,004 in the six months ended March 31,
1998 from $78,882 in the six months ended March 31, 1997. The decrease was due
to the repayment on certain notes.

The net loss for the six months ended March 31, 1998 was $1,914,181.
The loss per share was $0.06. Operating losses will continue while the Company
is developing its new equipment. Losses thereafter will depend upon a number of
factors including the market acceptance of the new technologies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, the Company's expenses have significantly exceeded its
revenues, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $17,177,704 and a shareholders'
deficit of $1,109,145 at March 31, 1998. The Company has funded its operations



9
primarily through the sale of equity securities.  At March 31, 1998, the Company
had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments aggregating approximately
$112,883. Net cash used in the Company's operating activities was $2,019,496 for
the six months ended March 31, 1998. The Company must raise additional cash to
continue its operations.

The Company has incurred negative cash flows from operations since its
inception, and has expended, and expects to continue to expend in the future,
substantial funds to complete its planned product development efforts, including
seeking FDA approval for the domestic sale of the Company's products, expand its
sales and marketing activities. The Company expects that its existing capital
resources will not be adequate to fund the Company's operations through the next
twelve months. The Company is dependent on raising additional capital to fund
its development of technology and to implement its business plan. Such
dependence will continue at least until the Company begins marketing its new
technologies. The Company does not have any firm commitments for additional
capital and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise
sufficient additional capital to continue its operations.

The Company's future capital requirements and the adequacy of available
funds will depend on numerous factors, including: the successful
commercialization of the thermotherapy systems; progress in its product
development efforts; the magnitude and scope of such efforts; progress with
preclinical studies and clinical trials; the cost and timing of manufacturing
scale-up; the development of effective sales and marketing activities; the cost
of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims and other
intellectual property rights; the emerging of competing technological and market
developments; and the development of strategic alliances for the marketing of
the Company's products. To the extent that funds generated from the Company's
operations are insufficient to meet current or planned operating requirements,
the Company will be required to obtain additional funds through equity or debt
financing, strategic alliances with corporate partners and others, or through
other sources. The Company does not have any committed sources of additional
financing, and there can be no assurance that additional funding, if necessary,
will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not
available, the Company may be required to delay, scale-back or eliminate certain
aspects of its operations or attempt 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, products or potential
markets. If adequate funds are not available, the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely effected.


PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company presently is not a party to any litigation, and the Company is not
aware of any threat of litigation, except as follows:

The Company has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by
Eastwell Management Services, Ltd. ("Eastwell") in the United States District
Court for the District of Maryland. In the lawsuit, Eastwell is seeking damages
in the amount of $125,000, plus interest. The Company denies that any funds are



10
due to Eastwell and intends to defend the lawsuit.  Eastwell has moved the court
for permission to amend its complaint to increase the claimed damages to
$250,000 and to request punitive damages. The Company has requested that the
court deny such motion.

In the normal course of business, the Company may be subject to
warranty and product liability claims on its thermotherapy equipment. The
Company does not have a product liability insurance policy in effect. The
assertion of any product liability claim against the Company, therefore, may
have an adverse affect on its financial condition. As of March 31, 1998, no
liability claims against the Company have been asserted.


Item 2. Changes in Securities

At the April 27, 1998 Annual Meeting, the shareholders increased the
Company's authorized capitalization to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01
par value. See Item 3 below.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company issued the
following securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933:

1. The Company issued 1,356,166 shares to twelve persons upon
conversion of previously outstanding convertible notes totalling $556,028. The
issuance was made to a limited number of accredited investors upon conversion of
previously outstanding convertible securities. The Company believes the issuance
was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Sections
3(a)(9), 4(2) or 4(6) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated
thereunder.

2. The Company issued 1,778,000 shares to forty-one accredited
investors for cash consideration totalling $889,000. The issuance was made to a
limited number of accredited investors. The Company believes the issuance was
exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) or
4(6) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

3. The Company issued 75,000 shares to a shareholder on exercise of a
stock option. The Company received consideration of $26,250. The issuance was
made to a single accredited investor. The Company believes the issuance was
exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) or
4(6) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

4. The Company issued 44,942 shares to two shareholders. These two
shareholders had received shares from the Company in January, 1997 on conversion
of debt. The Company determined, at the prompting of one of the shareholders,
that it had miscalculated the number of shares issued in 1997, and these shares
were issued as an adjustment to correct such miscalculation. The issuance was
made to a limited number of accredited investors. The Company believes the
issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to
Section 4(2) or 4(6) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated
thereunder.



11
Item 3.  Defaults upon Senior Securities

In its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 1997, the Company
reported on a default in its loan from the George T. Horton Trust. During the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 the principal balance of such loan (other than
$100,000 which the holder has agreed to convert to common stock) has been
reduced to $18,000.
