PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this
prospectus. This summary may not contain all of the information that may be
important to you in considering an investment in our common stock. You should
read the entire prospectus carefully, including "Risk Factors" and our financial
statements and the notes to those statements, before making an investment
decision. The terms "we" and "our" and similar words mean Celsion Corporation.

CELSION CORPORATION

We develop medical treatment systems primarily to treat breast cancer and a
chronic prostate enlargement condition, common in older males, known as benign
prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, using minimally invasive focused heat technology.
We have also been working with Duke University on the development of
heat-sensitive liposome compounds for use in the delivery of chemotherapy drugs
to tumor sites, and with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, or
Sloan-Kettering, on the development of heat-activated gene therapy compounds.

Celsion Breast Cancer Technology

Through an exclusive licensing agreement with the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, or MIT, we have been using a microwave concentration and focusing
technology known as "adaptive phased array," or APA, originally developed for
the U.S. Strategic Defense Initiative ("Starwars") program. We have incorporated
this technology in our second generation Microfocus cancer treatment equipment
and are now testing it in the treatment of breast cancer without the use of
radiation. We also intend to use this technology in the future to develop
equipment for the treatment of deep tissue cancers.

In 1998 we completed preclinical trials of our prototype clinical breast
cancer treatment system at Massachusetts General Hospital, in Boston,
Massachusetts. Animal tests have demonstrated that our APA deep tissue heat
technology can accurately focus heat in a small target area, making it possible
to destroy tumors by heat alone, without the use of radiation.

In January 1999 we received an Investigational Device Exemption, or IDE,
approval from the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, to permit clinical
testing of our breast cancer treatment system. We also received FDA clearance to
proceed with scheduled Phase I human clinical studies. In August 2000 we
completed treatment of ten patients in the Phase I study at Columbia Hospital in
West Palm Beach, Florida and at Harbor UCLA Medical Center in Torrance,
California, using our breast cancer equipment. We assembled data from the study
and created two protocols -- one to investigate whether our treatment can ablate
(remove) small breast cancer tumors and the second to investigate whether our
treatment can shrink large tumors to a size that would permit a lumpectomy
instead of a mastectomy. We received approval from the FDA to commence Phase II
trials for our breast cancer treatment system in December 2000. If these trials
yield successful outcomes and if we receive final FDA approval, we anticipate
marketing the breast cancer treatment system in 2002, in conjunction with a
strategic partner that we expect to identify and select at a later stage of the
testing and approval process.

Celsion BPH Treatment Technology

Our proprietary BPH treatment system is intended to address the problem of
enlarged prostates, an age-related condition common in males over 50. This
system employs a catheter with a proprietary balloon compression device that
delivers computer-controlled transurethral microwave heating to damage and kill
enlarged prostate cells constricting the wall of the urethra. Simultaneously,
the balloon device inflates to expand the urethra wall. The FDA approved an IDE
for our BPH system in June 1998. We conducted a Phase I pilot study of our BPH
system at the Montefiore Medical Center in New York commencing in November 1998,
and between September 1999 and April 2000, we conducted an expanded Phase I
study under a revised protocol. In July 2000 the FDA approved the commencement
of multiple-site Phase II studies to collect the safety and efficacy data
necessary for FDA pre-marketing approval for commercialization. These studies
have been approved by and commenced (as of October 18, 2000) at the Montefiore
Medical Center.
5

We expect approval from Bayview Johns Hopkins Medical Center and other hospitals
shortly. If Phase II produces anticipated results, we intend to begin marketing
our BPH system by early 2002. If confirmed in Phase II studies, we expect that
our BPH system will offer a single-visit outpatient procedure that can provide
rapid relief without subsequent catheterization. By contrast, a number of other
systems and procedures now available often require post-treatment
hospitalization, catheterization, and a lag time of weeks to months before
symptomatic problems are reduced.

Duke University/Celsion Technology -- New Heat-Sensitive Liposomes

We have been working with Duke University on the development of a class of
liposome compounds that can carry chemotherapy drugs to a tumor site and release
their payload quickly when triggered by targeted heat. The research is part of a
larger Duke University project to develop new temperature-sensitive liposomes,
temperature-sensitive gene promoters and related compounds.

Liposomes are man-made microscopic spheres with a liquid membrane,
developed in the 1980's to encapsulate drugs for targeted delivery. Commercial
liposomes can now encapsulate chemotherapeutic drugs, enabling them to avoid
destruction by the body's immune system and allowing them to accumulate in
tumors. With presently available technology, it often takes two to four hours
for commercial liposomes to release their drug contents. Moreover, the amount of
drugs ultimately deposited and absorbed by tumors is lower than the amount we
believe to be deposited and absorbed by the Duke/Celsion thermo-liposome
technology. We believe that all of these factors severely limit the clinical
efficacy of currently available liposome chemotherapy treatments when compared
with our technology.

The Duke/Celsion thermo-liposome technology is intended to allow the
thermo-liposome to open up and release its drug contents within minutes, thus
creating a clinically significant level of drug concentration for effective
therapy. Celsion and Duke University are pursuing further preclinical evaluation
and other development work necessary to gather data for the filing of an
investigational new drug application, or IND. We have contracted with a
formulation and manufacturing facility in Vancouver, Canada for initial
production. A formulation for commercial grade thermo-liposome has been
established and an initial production batch of thermo-liposome encapsulating
doxorubicin, a widely used chemotherapeutic drug, has been manufactured. We plan
to begin a large animal toxicity study in 2001. If the large animal toxicity
study is successfully completed, we expect to apply for an IND to the FDA during
2001 to begin human clinical trials for the thermo-liposome. The IND must become
effective (meaning that FDA does not raise objections to it within 30 days of
its submission, or that any FDA objections are satisfactorily addressed) before
clinical evaluation of new pharmaceuticals in patients may begin.

License Agreement with Duke University for Thermo-Liposome Technology

On November 10, 1999 we entered into a license agreement with Duke
University, under which Duke has granted us exclusive rights, subject to certain
exceptions, to commercialize and use Duke's thermo-liposome technology.

In addition, in the July 1, 2000 issue of Cancer Research, a Duke
University research scientist reported on his initial use of heat to activate
gene therapy and to increase the production in animals of Interleukin-12, a
genetic protein, in order to delay tumor growth. On August 8, 2000 we entered
into an agreement with Duke University, under which we will have the right,
during a six-month period, to negotiate an exclusive license for this
technology.

radiation or chemotherapy dose required to destroy a tumor, thus decreasing the
toxicity and associated side effects of such treatment on other areas of the
body.

We are conducting initial preclinical tests with scientists from
Sloan-Kettering to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the modifier in an animal
model. In May 2000 we entered into an exclusive worldwide agreement with
Sloan-Kettering for the commercial rights to this heat-activated gene therapy
technology.

Celsion's Development and Marketing Strategy

Our strategic plan is to employ our expertise and experience in the medical
application of focused microwave heat and our relationships with and license
rights from our institutional research partners to develop minimally invasive or
non-invasive, non-toxic treatment technologies with efficacy significantly
exceeding that available from other sources. Our goals for the next 12 to 24
months are to:

- complete the development, testing, and commercialization of our second
generation technology for the eradication of cancerous breast tumors;

- complete the clinical testing and commercialization of our BPH treatment
system; and

- pursue the development and testing of targeted drug delivery via
heat-sensitive liposomes for the purpose of concentrating
chemotherapeutic drugs at tumor sites.

Our goals for the next 18 months and beyond are to:

- continue the development of gene therapy to improve significantly the
effectiveness of radiation and chemotherapy on tumors; and

- initiate, either alone or with partners, the development of
cost-effective enhancements and variations of our technology, including a
version of our Microfocus equipment for treating prostate and other
cancers and additional potential applications for heat-sensitive liposome
therapy and heat-activated gene therapy in the treatment of inflammatory,
infectious and genetic diseases.

According to statistics published in the American Cancer Society's A Cancer
Journal for Clinicians, there were an average of 183,000 newly diagnosed breast
cancer cases in each of the years from 1995 through 1999, and breast cancer is
one of the leading causes of death among women in the United States. Also,
industry studies estimate that there are approximately 17 million BPH sufferers
in the United States alone, most of whom currently do not elect treatment
because of the effects and expense of existing surgical and drug treatment
alternatives. These studies estimate the overall costs of BPH therapy at
approximately $2.5 to $3.0 billion annually in the United States and $8.0 to
$10.0 billion worldwide for patients currently seeking treatment. Similarly, we
believe that the potential applications for the use of heat-activated liposomes
and heat-activated gene modifiers are substantial, and include cancer
chemotherapy and the treatment of inflammatory and infectious diseases.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below before making a
decision to invest in our common stock. You should also refer to the other
information in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the
related notes. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones
that could affect our company. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are
unaware of or that we currently believe are immaterial also may become important
factors that affect our company. If any of the following risks occur, our
business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially
harmed. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and
you could lose all or part of your investment.

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES AND EXPECT CONTINUED LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE
FUTURE.

Since our inception in 1982, our expenses have substantially exceeded our
revenues, resulting in continuing losses and an accumulated deficit of
($26,447,417) at September 30, 2000, including losses of ($2,436,192) for the
year ended September 30, 1999 and ($4,547,215) for the year ended September 30,
2000. Because we presently have no significant source of revenues and are
committed to continuing our product research and development program, we will
continue to experience significant operating losses until and unless we complete
the development of new products and these products have been clinically tested,
approved by the FDA and successfully marketed. In addition, we have funded our
operations for many years primarily through the sale of our securities and have
limited working capital for our desired product development and other
activities.

WE DO NOT EXPECT TO GENERATE SIGNIFICANT REVENUE IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

We marketed and sold our original microwave thermotherapy products, which
produced modest revenues from 1990 to 1994, but ceased marketing these products
in 1995. We have devoted our resources in recent years to developing a new
generation of thermotherapy products, but we cannot market these products unless
and until we complete clinical testing and obtain all necessary governmental
approvals. Accordingly, we have no current source of revenues, much less
profits, to sustain our present operations, and no revenues will be available
until and unless our new products are clinically tested, approved by the FDA and
successfully marketed. We cannot guarantee that any or all of our products will
be successfully tested, approved by the FDA or marketed at any time in the
foreseeable future or at all.

OUR MICROWAVE HEAT THERAPY TECHNOLOGY IS STILL IN THE INITIAL PHASES OF HUMAN
TESTING AND MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENTLY ACCEPTED BY THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY TO SUSTAIN
OUR BUSINESS.

To date, microwave heat therapy has not been widely accepted in the United
States medical community as an effective cancer treatment, with or without the
concurrent use of radiation. We believe that this is due primarily to the
inability of earlier technology adequately to focus and control heat directed at
specific tissue locations and to conclusions that were drawn from a widely
publicized study by the Radiation Oncology Therapy Group that purported to show
that thermotherapy in conjunction with radiation was only marginally effective.
Subsequent to the publication of this study, the U.S. Health Care Financing
Administration ("HCFA") established a low medical reimbursement rate for all
thermotherapy equipment designed to be used in conjunction with radiation. While
we believe our new technology is capable of overcoming the limitations of the
earlier technology, the medical community may not embrace the perceived
advantages of our APA focused heat therapy without more extensive testing and
clinical experience than we will be able to provide. To date, our new cancer
treatment technology and new BPH system have been subjected only to Phase I
testing on humans. Accordingly, our technology may not prove as effective in
practice as we anticipate based on preliminary testing. If further testing and
clinical practice do not confirm the safety and efficacy of our technology or,
even if further testing and practice produce positive results but the medical
community does not view this new form of heat therapy as effective and
desirable, our efforts to market our new products may fail, with material
adverse consequences to our business. We intend to petition HCFA for new
reimbursement codes for both breast cancer and BPH treatments. The success of
our business model depends significantly upon our ability to successfully
petition for the new reimbursement codes.

10

IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO OBTAIN NECESSARY FUNDING, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE
THE DEVELOPMENT, TESTING AND COMMERCIALIZATION OF OUR TREATMENTS AND PRODUCTS.

We will need substantial additional funding in order to complete the
development, testing and commercialization of our cancer treatment and BPH
products, as well as other potential new products. We currently plan to expend
approximately $8.0 million in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2001, and
currently have available a total of approximately $8.8 million for that purpose.
It is our current intention both to increase the pace of development work on our
present products and to make a significant commitment to thermosensitive
liposome and gene therapy research and development projects. The increase in the
scope of present development work and the commitment to these new projects will
require additional external funding, at least until we are able to begin
marketing our products. We do not have any committed sources of financing and
cannot offer any assurance that additional funding will be available in a timely
manner, on acceptable terms or at all. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

If adequate funding is not available in the future, we may be required to
delay, scale back or eliminate certain aspects of our operations or to attempt
to obtain funds through unfavorable arrangements with partners or others that
may force us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies, products or
potential markets or that could impose onerous financial or other terms.
Furthermore, if we cannot fund our ongoing development and other operating
requirements, particularly those associated with our obligation to conduct
clinical trials under our licensing agreements, we will be in breach of our
commitments under these licensing agreements and could therefore lose our
license rights, which could have material adverse effects on our business.

OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND WE MAY NOT BE
ABLE TO SECURE THE GOVERNMENT APPROVALS NEEDED TO DEVELOP AND MARKET OUR
PRODUCTS.

The FDA and similar government agencies in foreign countries impose
substantial requirements upon the introduction of medical products including
lengthy and detailed laboratory and clinical testing procedures, sampling
activities and other costly and time-consuming procedures. Satisfaction of these
requirements typically takes several years or more and varies substantially
based upon the type, complexity, and novelty of the product. For medical systems
such as our breast cancer treatment product, the FDA has thus far required data
from a Phase I clinical feasibility and safety demonstration using at least ten
patients. For a Phase II patient study that addresses safety and efficacy, we
anticipate a requirement of testing 173 patients in order to support an
application for commercialization approval. Similarly, the BPH treatment system
will require data from a Phase II study.

Government regulation, including the need for FDA approval, may delay
marketing of our new products for a considerable period of time, impose costly
procedures upon our activities and provide an advantage to larger companies that
compete with us. There can be no assurance that we will receive FDA or other
regulatory approvals for any products we develop on a timely basis or at all.
Any delay in obtaining, or failure to obtain, necessary approvals would
materially and adversely affect the marketing of any of our contemplated
products and our ability to generate revenue. Further, regulation of
manufacturing facilities by federal, state, local, and other authorities is
subject to change. Any additional regulation could result in limitations or
restrictions on our ability to utilize any of our technologies, thereby
adversely affecting our business.

OUR BUSINESS DEPENDS ON LICENSE AGREEMENTS THAT WE HAVE ENTERED INTO WITH THIRD
PARTIES TO USE PATENTED TECHNOLOGIES AND THE LOSS OF ANY OF OUR RIGHTS UNDER
THESE AGREEMENTS COULD IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO DEVELOP AND MARKET OUR PRODUCTS.

Currently, we have two utility patents pending in the U.S. Patent &
Trademark Office. One is directed to Celsion's breast cancer treatment, and the
other is directed to our BPH treatment. However, our business still would depend
on license agreements that we have entered into with third parties until the
third parties' patents expire, even when our pending applications mature into
U.S. patents.

Our success will depend, in substantial part, on our ability to maintain
our rights under license agreements granting us rights to use patented
technology. We have entered into exclusive license agreements
7
11

with MIT for APA technology and with MMTC, Inc., or MMTC, a privately owned
developer of medical devices, for microwave balloon catheter technology. We have
also entered into a license agreement with Duke University, under which we have
exclusive rights to commercialize medical treatment products and procedures
based on Duke University's thermo-liposome technology and a license agreement
with Sloan-Kettering under which we have rights to commercialize certain gene
therapy products. The MIT, MMTC, Duke University and Sloan-Kettering agreements
each contains license fee, royalty and/or research support provisions, testing
and regulatory milestones, and other performance requirements that we must meet
by certain deadlines. If we were to breach these or other provisions of our
license and research agreements, we could lose our ability to use the applicable
technology, as well as compensation for our efforts in developing or exploiting
the technology. Also, loss of our rights under the MIT license agreement would
prevent us from proceeding with most of our current product development efforts,
which are dependent on licensed APA technology. Any such loss of rights and
access to technology would have a material and adverse effect in our business.

Further, we cannot guarantee that any patent or other technology rights
licensed to us by others will not be challenged or circumvented successfully by
third parties, or that the rights granted will provide adequate protection to
us. We are aware of patent applications and issued patents belonging to others,
and it is not clear whether any of these patents or applications, or patent
applications of which we may not have any knowledge, will require us to alter
our potential products or processes, pay licensing fees or cease certain
activities. Litigation, which could result in substantial costs, may also be
necessary to enforce any patents issued to or licensed by us or determine the
scope and validity of others' claimed proprietary rights. We also rely on trade
secrets and confidential information that we seek to protect, in part, by
confidentiality agreements with our corporate partners, collaborators,
employees, and consultants. We cannot guarantee that these agreements will not
be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any such breach or that our
trade secrets will not otherwise become known or will not be discovered
independently by competitors.

TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER ARE SUBJECT TO RAPID CHANGE AND THE
DEVELOPMENT OF TREATMENT STRATEGIES THAT ARE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN OUR
THERMOTHERAPY TECHNOLOGY COULD RENDER OUR TECHNOLOGY OBSOLETE.

Various methods for treating cancer are the subject of extensive research
and development. Many possible treatments that are being researched, if
successfully developed, may not require, or may supplant, the use of our
thermotherapy technology. These alternate treatment strategies include the use
of radio frequency, laser and ultrasound energy sources. The successful
development and acceptance of any of these alternative forms of treatment could
render our technology obsolete.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HIRE OR RETAIN KEY OFFICERS OR EMPLOYEES WHOM WE NEED TO
IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY.

Our success depends on the continued contributions of our executive
officers, scientific and technical personnel and consultants, and on our ability
to attract new personnel as we seek to implement our business strategy. During
our operating history, we have assigned many key responsibilities to a
relatively small number of individuals. The competition for qualified personnel
is intense, and the loss of services of certain key personnel could adversely
affect our business.

THE SUCCESS OF OUR PRODUCTS MAY BE HARMED IF THE GOVERNMENT, PRIVATE HEALTH
INSURERS AND OTHER THIRD-PARTY PAYORS DO NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT COVERAGE OR
REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE USE OF OUR PRODUCTS.

Our ability to commercialize our thermotherapy technology successfully will
depend in part on the extent to which reimbursement for the costs of such
products and related treatments will be available from government health
administration authorities, private health insurers and other third-party
payors. The reimbursement status of newly approved medical products is subject
to significant uncertainty. We cannot guarantee that adequate third-party
insurance coverage will be available for us to establish and maintain price
levels sufficient for realization of an appropriate return on our investment in
developing new therapies. Government, private health insurers and other
third-party payors are increasingly attempting to contain health
8
12

care costs by limiting both coverage and the level of reimbursement for new
therapeutic products approved by the FDA for marketing. Accordingly, even if
coverage and reimbursement are provided by government, private health insurers
and third-party payors for uses of our products, the market acceptance of these
products would be adversely affected if the reimbursement available for the use
of our therapies proves to be unprofitable for health care providers.

WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION AND THE FAILURE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY COULD
ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO DEVELOP AND MARKET OUR PRODUCTS.

There are many companies and institutions engaged in research and
development of thermotherapy technologies for both cancer and prostate disease
products, that seek treatment outcomes similar to those we are pursuing. In
addition, a number of companies and institutions are pursuing alternative
treatment strategies through the use of microwave, infrared, and radio
frequency, laser and ultrasound energy sources, all of which appear to be in the
early stages of development and testing. We believe that the level of interest
by others in investigating the potential of thermotherapy and alternative
technologies will continue and may increase. Potential competitors engaged in
all areas of cancer and prostate treatment research in the United States and
other countries include, among others, major pharmaceutical and chemical
companies, specialized technology companies, universities and other research
institutions. Most of our competitors and potential competitors have
substantially greater financial, technical, human and other resources, and may
also have far greater experience than we do, both in preclinical testing and
human clinical trials of new products and in obtaining FDA and other regulatory
approvals. One or more of these companies or institutions could succeed in
developing products or other technologies that are more effective than the
products and technologies we have been or are developing, or which would render
our technology and products obsolete and non-competitive. Furthermore, if we are
permitted to commence commercial sales of products, we will also be competing,
with respect to manufacturing efficiency and marketing, with companies having
substantially greater resources and experience in these areas.

LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY CHANGES AFFECTING THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY COULD
ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

There have been a number of federal and state proposals during the last few
years to subject the pricing of health care goods and services to government
control and to make other changes to the United States health care system. It is
uncertain which legislative proposals, if any, will be adopted (or when) or what
actions federal, state, or private payors for health care treatment and services
may take in response to any health care reform proposals or legislation. We
cannot predict the effect health care reforms may have on our business, and we
can offer no assurances that any of these reforms will not have a material
adverse effect on our business.

WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS AND LITIGATION.

Our business exposes us to potential product liability risks inherent in
the testing, manufacturing, and marketing of human therapeutic products. We
presently have product liability insurance limited to $5,000,000 per incident.
If we were to be subject to a claim in excess of this coverage or to a claim not
covered by our insurance and the claim succeeded, we would be required to pay
the claim with our own limited resources, which could have a material adverse
effect on operations. In addition, liability or alleged liability could harm our
business by diverting the attention and resources of our management and by
damaging our reputation.

WE DEPEND ON THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS TO PROVIDE US WITH COMPONENTS REQUIRED FOR
OUR PRODUCTS AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN THESE COMPONENTS ON FAVORABLE TERMS
OR AT ALL.

We are currently not manufacturing any products, but are using our
facilities to assemble prototypes of our equipment for research and development
purposes. We currently purchase certain specialized microwave and thermometry
components and applicator materials and the catheter unit used for our BPH
equipment from single or limited source suppliers because of the small
quantities involved. While we have not experienced any significant difficulties
in obtaining these components, the loss of an important current supplier could
require us to obtain a replacement supplier, which might result in delays and
additional expense in being
9
13

able to make prototype equipment available for clinical trials and other
research purposes. Also, in the event we succeed in marketing our products, we
will most likely use outside contractors to supply components and to assemble
finished equipment, at which time we could become dependent on key vendors.

THE EXERCISE OR CONVERSION OF OUR OUTSTANDING OPTIONS, WARRANTS AND CONVERTIBLE
PREFERRED STOCK COULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT DILUTION OF YOUR OWNERSHIP INTEREST
IN COMMON STOCK.

Options and Warrants. As of November 30, 2000, we had outstanding a total
of 7,726,094 warrants and options, having exercise prices ranging from $0.16 to
$3.00 per share (and a weighted average exercise price of approximately $0.46
per share). Most of the prices are below the current market price of our common
stock, which has ranged from a low of $1.25 to a high of $2.06 over the 20
trading days ending November, 30, 2000. If holders choose to exercise such
warrants and options, the resulting purchase of a substantial number of shares
of our common stock at prices below the current market price of the common stock
would have a dilutive effect on our stockholders and could adversely affect the
market price of our issued and outstanding common stock. Also, the holders of a
substantial portion of such warrants and options have various registration
rights which, if exercised, would require us to register such shares for sale in
the public market. Furthermore, even without such registration, holders of the
warrants and options who are able, after the exercise of such warrants and
options, to satisfy the one-year holding period and other requirements of Rule
144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, will be able to sell shares of
common stock purchased upon such exercise in the public market.

Preferred Stock. As of November 30, 2000, we had outstanding a total of
4,853.5 shares of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock (plus 323 shares in
accrued dividends as of September 30, 2000). The shares of Series A Preferred
Stock are subject to exchange and conversion privileges upon the occurrence of
major events, including a public offering of our securities or the merger into a
public company. If we do not consummate this offering by January 31, 2001, the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to convert their
preferred shares into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.41 per
share of common stock, subject to certain adjustments. Even if this offering is
completed by January 31, 2001, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be
able to convert half of such shares at a price of $0.41 per share and the other
half at a price equal to 70% of the price of shares in this offering. In either
event, conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock would have a dilutive effect
on our stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our issued
and outstanding common stock. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock also
have registration rights at the time we undertake a registered public offering
of securities and may require registration of the common stock issued upon
conversion even if we do not otherwise undertake a public offering for our own
account. Even without a registration, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
who satisfy the requirements of Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, will be able to sell in the public market shares of common stock
acquired upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock.

IF WE SELL FEWER THAN ALL OF THE SHARES OFFERED HEREBY, PURCHASERS WILL BE AT
GREATER RISK THAT WE WILL NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO OPERATE OUR BUSINESS AS
DESCRIBED IN THIS PROSPECTUS.

The shares are being offered by the placement agent on a "best efforts"
basis. No commitment exists by anyone to purchase all or any part of the shares
offered hereby, and, consequently, we can offer no assurance that all or any
portion of the shares will be sold during the offering period. Purchasers of
shares in the offering are not entitled to refund of their funds at and after
the time that their subscriptions are accepted by us. To the extent that the we
sell at least $500,000 of our shares, but less than the maximum of $10,000,000
of our shares, we will have less than the full amount of funding we need to
operate our business. In this event, purchasers whose subscriptions are accepted
early in the offering period assume a greater risk that we will have
insufficient funds to proceed as described herein.

IF THE PRICE OF OUR SHARES REMAINS LOW, IT MAY BE DELISTED BY THE AMERICAN STOCK
EXCHANGE AND BECOME SUBJECT TO SPECIAL RULES APPLICABLE TO LOW PRICED STOCKS.

Our stock currently trades on The American Stock Exchange. The Amex, as a
matter of policy, will consider the suspension of trading in, or removal from
listing of any stock when, in the opinion of the Amex,
10
14

(i) the financial condition and/or operating results of an issuer of stock
listed on the Amex appear to be unsatisfactory, (ii) it appears that the extent
of public distribution or the aggregate market value of the stock has become so
reduced as to make further dealings on the Amex inadvisable, (iii) the issuer
has sold or otherwise disposed of its principal operating assets, or (iv) the
issuer has sustained losses which are so substantial in relation to its overall
operations or its existing financial condition has become so impaired that it
appears questionable, in the opinion of Amex, whether the issuer will be able to
continue operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature. For example, the
Amex will consider suspending dealings in, or delisting the stock of an issuer
if the issuer has sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses
in its five most recent fiscal years. Another instance where the Amex would
consider suspension or delisting of a stock is if it has been selling for a
substantial period of time at a low price per share and the issuer fails to
effect a reverse split of such stock within a reasonable time after being
notified that the Amex deems such action to be appropriate. The aggregate market
value of our stock has been significantly higher than the Amex's delisting
thresholds for market value. However, we have sustained net losses for our last
five fiscal years and our stock has been trading at relatively low prices.
Therefore our stock may be at risk of delisting by the Amex. Upon any such
delisting, the stock would become subject to the penny stock rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, which generally are applicable to equity
securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on
certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided
that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such
securities is provided by the exchange or system)). The penny stock rules
require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise
exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document
prepared by the Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the
nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must
provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the
compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in
the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to
a transaction in a penny stock, not otherwise exempt from such rules, the
broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is
a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written
agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect
of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock
that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. If our common stock becomes
subject to the penny stock rules, investors in this offering may find it more
difficult to sell their shares.

OUR STOCK PRICE COULD BE VOLATILE.

Market prices for our common stock and the securities of other medical and
high technology companies have been volatile. Factors such as announcements of
technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors, government
regulatory action, litigation, patent or proprietary rights developments, and
market conditions for medical and high technology stocks in general can have a
significant impact on the market for our common stock.

ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS IN OUR CHARTER DOCUMENTS AND DELAWARE LAW COULD PREVENT
OR DELAY A CHANGE IN CONTROL.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may discourage, delay or
prevent a merger or acquisition that a stockholder may consider favorable by
authorizing the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock. Certain provisions of
Delaware law may also discourage, delay or prevent a third party from acquiring
or merging with us. For a detailed description of the anti-takeover provisions
in our charter documents and Delaware law, see "Description of Capital
Stock -- Delaware Law."

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that our net proceeds from the sale of $500,000 shares of would
be approximately $ after deducting estimated offering expenses of
$ and placement agent discounts and commissions payable by us. We
estimate that our net proceeds from the sale $10,000,000 of our shares would be
approximately $ after deducting estimated offering expenses of
$ and placement agent discounts and commissions payable by us.

Net proceeds will be used to fund research and development work on
thermo-sensitive liposomes, prostate cancer therapy and gene therapy, to hire
additional personnel for new product commercialization and marketing, to
purchase additional equipment to supply the potential initial market for our
breast cancer and BPH treatment products, and for working capital. In the event
that less than $10,000,000 of shares is sold in this offering, we expect to
apply net proceeds first to fund research and development work on
thermo-sensitive liposomes, prostate cancer therapy and gene therapy. Any
remaining proceeds will be used, in the discretion of management, to hire
additional personnel, purchase additional equipment and for working capital. Our
management will have broad discretion concerning the use of the net proceeds of
the offering. Pending these uses, we intend to invest the net proceeds of this
offering in investment-grade, interest-bearing securities certificates of
deposit or other money market instruments.

We anticipate that the net proceeds from the sale of $500,000 of our
shares, together with our existing resources, will be sufficient to fund our
currently proposed activities at least through the end of the current fiscal
year.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock or
other securities and do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the
foreseeable future.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our capitalization as of September 30, 2000:

- On an actual basis;

- On a "pro forma" basis to reflect the automatic conversion of
shares of our convertible Series A Preferred Stock into shares
of our common stock upon the consummation of this offering; and

- On a "pro forma as adjusted" basis to reflect the sale in this offering
of a minimum of shares and a maximum of [ ] shares of
our common stock at an assumed offering price of $ per share and
our receipt of the estimated net proceeds of the offering.

The information below assumes the sale of a minimum of $500,000 and a
maximum of $10,000,000 of our shares at an offering price of $ as
reduced for placement agent, commissions and expenses incurred in connection
with the offering. It also assumes conversion of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock at $ per share (70% of the assumed offering price) and
shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $0.41 per shares, for
a total of shares of common stock. The following table does not
reflect 7,726,094 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options and
warrants outstanding as of November 30, 2000 at a weighted average exercise
price of a approximately $0.46 per share.

DILUTION

Our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2000 was
$ , or approximately $ per share of common stock. Pro forma
net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total assets less
total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding
after giving effect to the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock into shares of common stock upon completion of this offering.
After giving effect to the sale of a minimum of $500,000 and a maximum of
$10,000,000 of our shares of common stock at an assumed offering price of
$ per share and after deducting the estimated placement agent
commissions and estimated offering expenses, the pro forma net tangible book
value as of September 30, 2000 would have been $ , or approximately
$ per share and $ , or $ per share, at the minimum
and maximum respectively. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net
tangible book value of $ and $ per share to existing
stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $
and $ per share to new investors of common stock in this offering at
the minimum and maximum respectively. Based upon the public offering price, new
investors will pay $ per share and the net tangible book value per
share is expected to be $ immediately after the offering at the minimum
and maximum respectively. The net tangible book value per share represents the
per share value of our tangible assets after subtracting our liabilities.
Further, investors in this offering will contribute approximately %
and % of our net tangible assets, but will own approximately
% and % of our company at the minimum and maximum
respectively. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share
basis:

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this prospectus. This
discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations
that involve risks and uncertainties, relating to our plans, objectives,
expectations and intentions. Our actual results and the timing of certain events
could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under "Risk
Factors," "Business" and elsewhere in this prospectus. See "Forward-Looking
Statements."

GENERAL

Since inception, we have incurred substantial operating losses. We expect
operating losses to continue and possibly increase in the near term and for the
foreseeable future as we continue our product development efforts, conduct
clinical trials and undertake marketing and sales activities for new products.
Our ability to achieve profitability is dependent upon our ability successfully
to integrate new technology into our thermotherapy systems, conduct clinical
trials, obtain governmental approvals, and manufacture, market and sell our new
products. We have faced a number of major obstacles over the last several years,
including inadequate funding, a negative net worth, and the slow development of
the thermotherapy market due to technical shortcomings of the thermotherapy
equipment previously available commercially. We have not continued to market our
older thermotherapy system, principally because of the system's inability to
provide precise and consistent heat treatment for other than surface and
subsurface tumors. Instead we have concentrated on a new generation of
thermotherapy products.

Our operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past on an
annual and a quarterly basis. We expect that operating results will continue to
fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter for the foreseeable future and
will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control.

MATERIAL NON-OPERATING TRANSACTIONS AND LOSSES IN 1997

For the year ended September 30, 1997, we had a non-operating loss of
($438,803) resulting from our 1996 investment in Ardex Equipment, LLC, or Ardex.
The Ardex investment arrangements were originally made with persons who were
then directors of Celsion and principals of Ardex, as described under "Certain
Transactions." After Ardex experienced financial difficulties, we reviewed the
financial status of Ardex and determined that the entire amount due from Ardex,
including accrued interest, was uncollectible as of September 30, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2000 and Fiscal Year Ended
September 30, 1999

Product sales for the year ended September 30, 2000 were only $3,420, as
compared to none for the prior fiscal year. The limited revenue in the current
period resulted from a parts reorder for older, previously sold equipment.
Additional significant product revenues are not expected unless and until
development of our second generation of equipment, incorporating APA technology,
is completed and such equipment is clinically tested and receives necessary
approvals from governmental regulatory agencies.

Research and development expense increased by 120%, to $2,238,292 for the
year ended September 30, 2000 from $1,019,941 for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1999. The increase of $1,218,351 in the year ended September 30,
2000 was attributable to the issuance of shares of common stock to Duke
University under a license agreement for thermo-liposome technology, research on
thermo-liposome technology during the period, expenditures for Phase I breast
cancer trials at Harbor UCLA Medical Center and Columbia Hospital, expenditures
for our upcoming Phase II BPH and breast cancer treatment trials and payments
made to Sloan-Kettering for licensing of its gene therapy technology during the
year ended September 30, 2000. We expect expenditures on research and
development expenses to increase for fiscal year 2001 as we conduct our

17
21

Phase II clinical trials for our breast cancer and BPH treatment systems, and
begin developing the thermo-liposome technology.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased by 94%, to $2,661,333
for the year ended September 30, 2000 from $1,371,161 from the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1999. The increase of $1,290,172 was due primarily to increased
legal and financial services associated with our recent securities offerings and
technology licensing, increased office staffing, costs associated with our
annual meeting, and increased public relations activities.

Due mainly to the increase in the expenditures listed above for the year
ending September 30, 2000, the loss from operations for the period rose by
$2,505,349, to ($4,896,451) from ($2,391,102) in the prior year.

Interest income net of interest expense increased to $349,236 for the year
ended September 30, 2000 from ($60,834) for the period ended September 30, 1999.
The $410,070 increase was due to the high cash balances from our private
placement in January 2000 invested in money market instruments and time
deposits. Because we currently have no revenues, these balances will decrease as
we draw on our cash reserves to pay for our ongoing operations.

Comparison of Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 1999 to Fiscal Year Ended
September 30, 1998

There were no product sales for the year ended September 30, 1999, compared
with sales of $174,182 for the year ended September 30, 1998. The earlier year
sales represented re-orders of our older equipment. Additional significant
product revenues are not expected unless and until development of our second
generation equipment, incorporating APA technology, is completed and such
equipment is clinically tested and receives necessary approvals from
governmental regulatory agencies.

There was no cost of sales for the year ended September 30, 1999, as
compared with the cost of sales for the prior year of $136,500.

Research and development expense decreased substantially, to $1,019,941 for
the year ended September 30, 1999 from $1,534,872 for the prior year. The
difference in expenditure levels reflects the fact that the major portion of
development work on our new generation of equipment took place in the earlier
period. However, we expect research and development expenses to increase over
the next several months as BPH clinical trials and Phase II breast cancer
testing begin.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased substantially, to
$1,371,161 for the year ended September 30, 1999 from $2,515,822 for the
previous year. The decrease was due to the absence, in fiscal 1999, of the
following expenses which were recorded in the earlier period: incentive stock
issued to our President, recorded in the amount of $700,640; consulting fees and
expenses paid to Stearns Management, a company affiliated with a former officer
and director, in the amount of $195,297; legal fees in the amount of $145,000;
and a write-off of approximately $112,000 of inventory stocked as replacement
parts for older equipment sold in prior years.

Due primarily to the absence of expenditures for equipment development and
for clinical trials for the year ended September 30, 1999 and the absence of or
decrease in executive bonus, legal, and consulting fees, our net loss decreased
by $1,764,296, to ($2,436,192) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 from
($4,200,488) in the prior year.

Comparison of Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 1998 to Fiscal Year Ended
September 30, 1997

Product sales for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 were $174,182.
These sales represented limited re-orders of our older equipment. During the
year ended September 30, 1997, product sales, taking returns and allowances into
consideration, were $121,257. Additional significant product revenues are not
expected unless and until development of our second generation of equipment,
incorporating APA technology, is completed and such equipment is clinically
tested and receives necessary approvals from governmental regulatory agencies.

18
22

Cost of sales increased to $136,500 in the year ended September 30, 1998
from $46,734 in the prior year. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased
to 78.4% for the year ended September 30, 1998 from 38.5% for the prior year,
because newer components and enhancements were added to existing inventory in
conjunction with upgrading our products to incorporate new technology.

Research and development expense grew substantially, to $1,534,872 in the
year ended September 30, 1998 from $185,974 in the prior year. During fiscal
1998, we increased our research and development efforts to enhance our products
and to incorporate APA and other technological advances into our equipment. The
increase during fiscal year 1998 included $561,238 for engineering work
performed by outsider parties on our breast cancer treatment device, $289,868
for animal studies for the improved BPH system, $245,976 for animal studies and
other development work on the new breast cancer equipment and $76,000 for work
at Duke University in connection with the development of targeted drug delivery
and genetherapy technology. In addition, after a review of our inventory,
approximately $175,000 of components and parts acquired in the course of
developing older equipment, including slower, DOS-based electronic components,
were deemed to be unusable for the development of our newer models, and were
therefore classified as obsolete and written off as additional research and
development expense during fiscal 1998. We expect to continue our higher levels
of expenditures for research and development in order to continue to enhance our
products.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased to $2,515,822 in the
year ended September 30, 1998 from $2,283,245 in the prior year. Such increased
expense included a write-off of approximately $112,000 of inventory stocked as
replacement parts for older equipment sold in prior years, which inventory was
being carried at the lower of cost or market value and which, in light of the
absence of demand, was determined to have no appreciable market value at year
end. The remainder of the increase was attributable to somewhat higher outside
consulting, advertising and administrative expenses. We expect selling and
marketing expense to increase substantially as we complete the development and
testing of our new thermotherapy systems and expand our related advertising and
promotional and marketing activities.

Due mainly to increased research and development activities in the year
ended September 30, 1998, the loss from operations increased by $1,618,316, to
($4,013,012) from ($2,394,696) in the prior year. However, the increase in the
1998 loss before income taxes was not as large compared with 1997 because of the
non-operating losses reflected in the earlier year as described above.

QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth unaudited quarterly statement of operations
data for the four quarters of fiscal year 1999 and the four quarters of fiscal
year 2000. We derived this data from unaudited financial statements, and, in the
opinion of our management, they include all adjustments, which consist only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial results
for the periods. The results of operations for any quarter are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations for any future period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since inception, our expenses have significantly exceeded our revenues,
resulting in an accumulated deficit of ($26,447,417) at September 30, 2000. We
have incurred negative cash flows from operations since our inception and have
funded our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities. As of
September 30, 2000, we had cash of $8,820,196 and total current assets of
$8,900,565, compared with current liabilities of $391,392, resulting in a
working capital surplus of $8,509,173. As of September 30, 1999, we had
$1,357,464 in cash and total current assets of $1,424,058, compared with current
liabilities of $517,132, which resulted in a working capital surplus of $902,499
at fiscal year end. The increase in working capital at September 30, 2000 as
compared to September 30, 1999 was due to the closing of a private placement
offering on January 31, 2000, from which we received net proceeds of
approximately $4,200,000, the exercise of warrants (primarily Series 700 and
800) from which we received proceeds of $5,467,118, and the exercise of warrants
(primarily Series 500 and 550) during the quarter ended June 30, 2000, from
which we received proceeds of $1,588,889.

We do not have any bank financing arrangements and have funded our
operations in recent years primarily through private placement offerings of
equity securities. For all of fiscal year 2001, we expect to expend a total of
approximately $8,000,000 for breast cancer and BPH clinical testing and for
corporate overhead, which will be funded from our current resources. The
foregoing amounts are estimates based upon assumptions as to the availability of
funding, the scheduling of institutional clinical research and testing
personnel, the timing of clinical trials and other factors, not all of which are
fully predictable. Accordingly, estimates and timing concerning projected
expenditures and programs are subject to change.

Our dependence on raising additional capital will continue at least until
we are able to begin marketing our new technologies. Our future capital
requirements and the adequacy of our financing depend upon numerous factors,
including the successful commercialization of our thermotherapy systems,
progress in product development efforts, progress with preclinical studies and
clinical trials, the cost and timing of production arrangements, the development
of effective sales and marketing activities, the cost of filing, prosecuting,
defending and enforcing intellectual property rights, competing technological
and market developments and the development of strategic alliances for the
marketing of our products. We will be required to obtain such funding through
equity or debt financing, strategic alliances with corporate partners and
others, or through other sources not yet identified. We do not have any
committed sources of additional financing, and cannot guarantee that additional
funding will be available in a timely manner, on acceptable terms, or at all. If
adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, scale back or
eliminate certain aspects of our operations or attempt to obtain funds through
unfavorable arrangements with partners or others that may require us to
relinquish rights to certain of our technologies, product candidates, products
or potential markets or which otherwise may be materially unfavorable to us.
Furthermore, if we cannot fund our ongoing development and other operating
requirements, particularly those associated with our obligation to conduct
clinical trials under our licensing agreements, we will be in breach of our
commitments under these licensing agreements and could therefore lose our
license rights, which could have material adverse effects on our business.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do not currently hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in
hedging activities and currently do not enter into any transactions denominated
in a foreign currency. Thus, our exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange
fluctuations is minimal.

BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

We develop medical treatment systems primarily to treat breast cancer and a
chronic prostate enlargement condition, common in older males, known as benign
prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, using minimally invasive focused heat technology.
Also, we are working with Duke University in the development of heat-sensitive
liposome compounds for use in the delivery of chemotherapy drugs to tumor sites,
and with Sloan-Kettering on the development of heat-activated gene therapy
compounds.

BREAST CANCER TREATMENT SYSTEM

Current Treatment for Breast Cancer

Heat Therapy in Conjunction with Radiation; Earlier Celsion Equipment

Heat therapy (also known as hyperthermia or thermotherapy) is an
historically recognized method of treatment of various medical conditions, and
heat therapy has been used in the past to treat malignant tumors in conjunction
with radiation and chemotherapy. As summarized in the Fourth Edition of
Radiobiology for the Radiologist, published in 1994 by J.B. Lippincott Company,
in 24 independent studies on an aggregate of 2,234 tumors, treatment consisting
of heat plus radiation resulted in an average doubling of the complete response
rate of tumors, compared to the use of radiation alone. The complete response
rate for this purpose means the total absence of a treated tumor for a minimum
of two years. Comparable increases in the complete response rate were reported
with the use of heat combined with chemotherapy. In addition, it has been
demonstrated on numerous occasions that properly applied heat, alone and without
the concurrent use of radiation, can also kill cancer cells.

In 1989 we obtained FDA pre-marketing approval for our microwave-based
Microfocus 1000 heat therapy machine for use on surface and subsurface tumors in
conjunction with radiation therapy. Until 1995, we marketed our Microfocus
equipment for this use in 23 countries, but microwave heat therapy was not
widely accepted in the United States medical community as an effective cancer
treatment. Moreover, due to the limitations of microwave technology available at
that time, it was difficult to deliver a controlled amount of heat to subsurface
tumors without overheating surrounding healthy tissue.

New Microwave Technology from MIT

In 1993 we began working with researchers at MIT who had developed,
originally for the United States Defense Department, the microwave control
technology known as adaptive phased array, or APA. This technology permits
properly designed microwave equipment to focus and concentrate energy targeted
at diseased tissue areas deep within the body and to heat them selectively,
without adverse impact on surrounding healthy tissue. In 1996 MIT granted us an
exclusive worldwide license to use this technology for medical applications, and
we concentrated our efforts on developing a second generation of Microfocus
equipment capable of focusing microwave energy on specific tissue areas. We have
now incorporated the APA technology in our second generation microwave therapy
equipment.

Celsion Breast Cancer Treatment System

Using the APA technology, we have developed a prototype breast cancer
treatment system intended to destroy localized breast tumors through the
application of heat alone. The system consists of a microwave generator and
conductors, a computer and computer software programs that control the focusing,
application and duration of the thermotherapy, and a specially designed patient
treatment table.

21
25

In 1998 we completed preclinical animal testing of our prototype system at
the Massachusetts General Hospital, a teaching hospital for Harvard Medical
School in Boston, Massachusetts. Using breast tissue-equivalent phantoms and
tumors in live animals, these studies demonstrated that our system is capable of
selectively heating tumors at temperatures up to 46(LOGO) Celsius without damage
to surrounding healthy tissues. High temperatures maintained for eight to ten
minutes can cause complete tumor necrosis (death), leading to the death of
viable cancer cells within the tumor and in its immediate vicinity. A second
prototype clinical breast cancer treatment system at Oxford University in
England was used to demonstrate successfully the ability of our equipment to
focus heat deep into animal tissue at precise locations and in small target
areas. In our view, these animal tests demonstrate that it is possible to
eliminate tumors by heat alone and without the use of radiation. Using the
preclinical data from Massachusetts General, the FDA granted Celsion a
supplemental pre-marketing approval to incorporate the APA technology with
Celsion's already approved Microfocus 1000 system. The APA technology enhances
the ability of the Microfocus 1000 system to focus energy.

Testing and FDA Approval Process

In January 1999 we received an Investigational Device Exemption, or IDE,
approval from the FDA to permit clinical testing of our breast cancer treatment
system, and also received FDA approval to proceed with Phase I human clinical
studies. In August 2000 we completed the treatment of ten patients in the Phase
I study at Columbia Hospital in West Palm Beach, Florida, and at Harbor UCLA
Medical Center in Torrance, California, using our breast cancer equipment. In
the study, our equipment was clinically tested on female breast tumors on a
minimally invasive basis through a single application of precisely controlled
and targeted heat. In December 2000 we received approval from the FDA to
commence Phase II trials for our breast cancer system. We are planning
multi-site Phase II clinical trials to obtain the safety and efficacy data
necessary to apply for the addition of two new indications of use to the
existing FDA pre-marketing approval for our Microfocus equipment

Ultimate FDA approval for a device such as our equipment typically requires
two phases of clinical testing. The purpose of Phase I testing is to show
feasibility and safety and involves a small group of patients. Phase II testing
may involve as many as 160 patients and is designed to show safety and efficacy.
We have completed Phase I testing of our breast cancer treatment system and in
December 2000 received approval to commence Phase II clinical trials. If Phase
II tests are successful, we expect to apply for the addition of a new indication
of use to the existing FDA pre-marketing approval for our Microfocus equipment,
denoting that the system can be used to destroy cancerous tumors and viable
cancer cells within the human breast through the application of focused
microwave heat energy alone. If testing and approvals proceed as planned, we
expect the breast cancer system will be available for marketing in 2002 through
a strategic partner that we expect to identify and select as the approval
process nears completion.

BPH TREATMENT SYSTEM

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Millions of aging men experience symptoms resulting from a non-cancerous
urological disease in which the prostate enlarges and constricts the urethra.
This condition is known medically as benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. The
prostate is a walnut-sized gland surrounding the male urethra that produces
seminal fluid and plays a key role in sperm preservation and transportation. The
prostate frequently enlarges with age. As the prostate expands, it compresses or
constricts the urethra, thereby restricting the normal passage of urine. This
restriction of the urethra may require a patient to exert excessive bladder
pressure to urinate. Because the urination process is one of the body's primary
means of cleansing impurities, the inability to urinate adequately increases the
possibility of infection and bladder and kidney damage.

Prevalence of BPH

Because BPH is an age-related disorder, its incidence increases with
maturation of the population. Industry estimates suggest that more than 17
million men in the United States aged 50 and over experience

22
26

BPH symptoms and that more than 26 million men in similar age categories are
affected by BPH worldwide. As the U.S. population continues to age, it is
expected that the prevalence of BPH will continue to increase. It is generally
estimated that approximately 50% of all men over 55 and 90% of all men over 75
will have BPH symptoms at various times. Also, industry studies estimate the
overall costs of BPH therapy at approximately $2.5 to $3.0 billion annually in
the United States and $8.0 to $10.0 billion worldwide for patients currently
seeking treatment.

Current Treatment Alternatives for BPH

Like cancerous tumors, BPH historically has been treated by surgical
intervention or by drug therapy. The primary treatment for BPH currently is
transurethral resection of the prostate, or TURP, a surgical procedure in which
the prostatic urethra and surrounding diseased tissue in the prostate are
trimmed, thereby widening the urethral channel for urine flow. While the TURP
procedure typically has been considered the most effective treatment available
for the relief of BPH symptoms, the procedure has shortcomings. A large number
of patients who undergo TURP encounter significant complications, which can
include painful urination, infection, impotence, incontinence and excessive
bleeding. Furthermore, the cost of the TURP procedure and the related
hospitalization is high, ranging from $8,000 to $12,000. This cost does not take
into account the costs of lost work time, which could amount to several weeks,
and of reduction in quality of life.

Other less radical surgical procedures are available as alternatives to the
TURP procedure. For example, interstitial RF therapy and laser therapy are
procedures which employ, respectively, concentrated radio frequency waves or
laser radiation to reduce prostate swelling by cauterization of tissue instead
of removal of tissue with a surgical knife. However, these procedures require
puncture incisions to be made in order to insert cauterizing RF or laser probes
into the affected tissue, and therefore also involve the use of a full operating
facility and anaesthesia, as well as the burning of prostate tissue by the
probes. Although these procedures result in less internal bleeding and damage to
the urethra compared with the TURP procedure and may decrease the adverse
effects and costs associated with surgery, anaesthesia and post-operative tissue
recovery, they do not entirely eliminate these adverse consequences.

Finally, drug therapy has emerged as an alternative to surgery in the last
several years. There are several drugs available for BPH treatment, the two most
widely prescribed being Hytrin and Proscar. Hytrin works by relaxing certain
involuntary muscles surrounding the urethra, thereby easing urinary flow, and
Proscar is intended actually to shrink the enlarged gland. However, industry
studies have asserted that drug therapy costs $500 to $800 per year or more,
must be maintained for life, and does not offer consistent relief to a large
number of BPH patients. Also, all of the BPH drugs have appreciable side
effects. Accordingly, neither the medicinal treatments nor the surgical
alternatives available for BPH appear to provide fully satisfactory, cost-
effective treatment solutions for BPH sufferers.

Celsion BPH Treatment System

We have developed a BPH treatment system that combines our microwave
thermotherapy capability with a proprietary balloon compression technology
licensed from MMTC, Inc. The treatment system is intended to deal with the
problem of enlarged prostates in two ways. A catheter incorporating a balloon
enlargement device delivers computer-controlled transurethral microwave heating
that damages and kills the enlarged prostate cells constricting the wall of the
urethra. Simultaneously, the balloon device inflates and expands to press the
walls of the urethra from the inside outward as the surrounding prostate tissue
is heated.

Preclinical animal studies have demonstrated that a natural "stent," or
reinforced opening, in the urethra of the animals tested forms after the
combined heat plus compression treatment. Also, the BPH system's relatively low
temperature (43(LOGO)C to 45(LOGO)C) appears to be sufficient to kill prostatic
cells surrounding the urethra wall, thereby creating space for the enlargement
of the urethra opening. However, the temperature is not high enough to cause
swelling in the urethra.

The FDA approved an IDE to allow clinical testing of our BPH system in June
1998 and we completed initial Phase I clinical feasibility human trials of the
BPH system at Montefiore Medical Center in May 1999. In the Phase I trials, the
combination of computer-controlled microwave heat and balloon catheter expansion
23
27

was able to increase peak flow rates and to provide immediate relief of symptoms
caused by BPH. In addition, we undertook an expanded Phase I study to test an
accelerated treatment protocol, which was completed in May 2000, at Montefiore
Medical Center. In July 2000 the FDA approved the commencement of multiple-site
Phase II studies to collect the safety and efficacy data necessary for FDA
pre-marketing approval for commercialization. Montefiore Medical Center
commenced Phase II studies effective October 18, 2000. We expect approval from
Bayview Johns Hopkins Medical Center and other hospitals shortly. If Phase II
testing produces anticipated results and if our BPH system meets all other
requirements for FDA approval and receives such approval, we intend to begin
marketing the BPH system by early 2002, using a strategic partner that we expect
to identify and select prior to that time.

Based on the information we have collected to date, we believe that our BPH
system has the potential to deliver a treatment that is performed in one hour or
less on an outpatient basis, would not require post-treatment catheterization
and would deliver symptomatic relief and an increase in urinary flow rates
promptly after the procedure is completed.

THERMO-LIPOSOMES; DUKE UNIVERSITY TECHNOLOGY

A team of Duke University scientists has developed heat-sensitive liposomes
comprised of materials that rapidly change porosity when heated to a specific
point. For application to mammalian tissue, the heat-sensitive liposomes are
injected into the blood stream. As the heat-sensitive liposomes circulate within
the small arteries, arterioles, and capillaries, the drug contents of the
liposomes are released in significantly higher levels in those tissue areas
which have been heated for 30 to 60 minutes than in areas that do not receive
heat. In animal trials it has been determined that 50 times the amount of drugs
carried by heat-sensitive liposomes were deposited at a specific heated tissue
site, when compared to conventional liposomes. We have been a sponsor of this
research, which is part of a larger Duke University project to develop new
temperature-sensitive liposomes, temperature-sensitive gene promoters and
related compounds.

Celsion and Duke University are pursuing further development work and
preclinical studies aimed at using the new thermo-liposome technology in
conjunction with our APA focused heat technology for a variety of applications,
including cancer chemotherapy. We view the Duke thermo-liposome technology as a
highly promising improvement in the delivery of medicines used to combat serious
diseases. For example, the drugs used in chemotherapy regimens to fight cancer
are often toxic when administered in large quantities, and produce nausea,
vomiting, and exhaustion -- all side effects of the body being poisoned.
However, if such a drug can be delivered directly to a tissue area where it is
needed, as opposed to being distributed through the entire circulatory system,
the local concentration of the drug could be increased without the side effects
that accompany large systemic dosing.

On November 10, 1999 Celsion and Duke University entered into a licensing
agreement under which we received exclusive rights (subject to certain
exceptions) to commercialize and use Duke's thermo-liposome technology. The
license is for a term that is the longer of 20 years or the end of any term for
which any relevant patents are issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
and includes the right to sub-license. For portions of the technology, our
rights are worldwide and, for various patent rights, the license covers the
United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Japan, and other
countries in which we desire to seek patent protection, provided that we will be
responsible for the costs of obtaining this protection. We believe that the
thermo-liposome technology, once tested satisfactorily, has potential for
serving as a basis for new, more effective drug therapies.

The license agreement contains annual royalty and minimum payment
provisions and also requires us to make milestone-based royalty payments
measured by various events, including product development stages,
24
28

FDA applications and approvals, foreign marketing approvals and achievement of
significant sales. However, in lieu of such milestone-based cash payments, Duke
has agreed to accept shares of our common stock to be issued in installments at
the time each milestone payment is due, with each installment of shares to be
calculated at the average closing price of the common stock during the 20
trading days prior to issuance. The total number of shares issuable to Duke
under these provisions is subject to adjustment in certain cases, and Duke has
"piggyback" registration rights for public offerings taking place more than one
year after the effective date of the license agreement.

In addition, in the July 1, 2000 issue of Cancer Research, a Duke
University research scientist reported on his initial use of heat to activate
gene therapy and to increase the production in animals of Interleukin-12, a
genetic protein, in order to delay tumor growth. On August 8, 2000 we entered
into an agreement with Duke University, under which Celsion has the right, for a
period of six months thereafter, to negotiate an exclusive license for this
technology.

SLOAN-KETTERING/CELSION HEAT-ACTIVATED GENE THERAPY COMPOUNDS

We have also been working with Sloan-Kettering on the development of a
thermo-genetic technology for cancer treatment that employs a heat-activated
genetic modifier. The modifier is designed to improve the effectiveness of, and
lower the treatment dose for, chemotherapy, heat, and radiation treatment of
localized cancers by suppressing the action of the protein responsible for DNA
damage repair in tumor cells. Once heated, the genetic modifier multiplies
rapidly in the cancer cells. The genetic modifier deletes the repairing protein
from the cancer cells, rendering them temporarily incapable of reversing DNA
damage incurred during chemotherapy, heat, and radiation treatment. Preclinical
studies in vitro suggest that the genetic modifier has the potential to reduce
significantly the levels of a radiation or chemotherapy dose required to destroy
a tumor, thus decreasing the toxicity and associated side effects of such
treatment on other areas of the body.

Celsion and scientists from Sloan-Kettering are conducting initial
preclinical tests to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the modifier in an
animal model.

In May 2000 we entered into an exclusive worldwide agreement with
Sloan-Kettering for the commercial rights to the heat-activated gene therapy
technology developed by Sloan-Kettering.

DEVELOPMENT, MARKETING AND SALES STRATEGY

We are not currently engaged in marketing and sales, and are focusing our
activities on the development and testing of our products. Our strategic plan is
based upon our expertise and experience in the medical application of focused
microwave heat and our relationships with and license rights from our
institutional research partners. Our goal has been to employ these resources to
develop minimally invasive or non-invasive, non-toxic treatment technologies
with efficacy significantly exceeding that available from other sources. Using
our management and staff, scientific advisory personnel and available financial
resources, we are focusing our efforts on the following goals:

Short-Term Goals; 12 to 24 Months

- complete the development, testing, and commercialization of our second
generation technology for the eradication of cancerous breast tumors;

- complete the clinical testing and commercialization of our BPH treatment
system; and

- pursue the development and testing of targeted drug delivery via
heat-sensitive liposomes for the purpose of concentrating
chemotherapeutic drugs at tumor sites.

Longer-Term Goals; 18 Months and Beyond

- continue the development of gene therapy to significantly improve the
effectiveness of radiation and chemotherapy on tumors; and

25
29

- initiate, either alone or with partners, the development of
cost-effective enhancements and variations of our technology, including a
version of our Microfocus equipment for treating prostate and other
cancers, and additional potential applications for heat-sensitive
liposome therapy and heat-activated gene therapy in the treatment of
inflammatory, infectious and genetic diseases.

If we successfully complete our product development efforts, we plan to
place our new products with hospitals, clinics, health maintenance organizations
and pharmaceutical companies at modest initial cost. The emphasis of our
marketing strategy for our breast cancer and BPH systems will be to create
ongoing cash flow by selling disposable medical procedure kits for each patient
use and by charging a per-usage fee. We intend to stimulate demand for our
treatment systems by educating patients through various forms of media
publicity, consistent with FDA regulations.

We anticipate that, in the near term (up to 24 months), the source of our
revenues will be our proprietary technology for BPH and for treatment of breast
cancer and deep-seated tumors through the use of focused microwave heat therapy
equipment, if the necessary testing and regulatory approval processes are
completed. We intend to generate initial sales through a combination of direct
marketing and development of marketing alliances.

In the longer term (from 18 months to 36 months and beyond), we will seek
to develop new revenue streams from our current work with Duke University in
targeted drug delivery systems and with Sloan-Kettering in gene therapy. We
anticipate that revenues will come from the licensing of this technology to
pharmaceutical manufacturers and major institutional health care providers who
would employ these technologies to deliver drug regimens or gene therapy
throughout the body. Also, because this technology is designed to be used in
conjunction with our APA-improved microwave equipment, we expect that the
acceptance of the technology will generate demand for our equipment which, in
turn, is expected to create equipment sales revenues. To prepare for future
marketing of our heat-sensitive drug delivery systems, we intend to explore the
possibilities of forming alliances with pharmaceutical companies, major
hospitals and health maintenance organizations.

LICENSE AGREEMENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

We do not own any patents. Although we do have two U.S. patents pending
which we plan to file internationally. The pending U.S. applications are
directed to our breast cancer and BPH treatments. Through our license agreements
with MIT and MMTC, we have exclusive rights within defined fields of use to
seven U.S. patents. Four of the patents relate to thermotherapy for cancer,
including the APA technology, and three relate to the treatment of BPH.

The term of our exclusive rights under the MIT license agreement expires on
the earlier of ten years after the first commercial sale of a product using the
licensed technology or October 24, 2009, but our rights continue on a
non-exclusive basis for the life of the MIT patents. Our exclusive rights under
the MIT license agreement relate to use of the technology in conjunction with
application of heat to breast tumor conditions, the application of heat to
prostate conditions and all other medical uses. MIT has retained certain rights
in the licensed technology for non-commercial research purposes.

Our exclusive rights under the MMTC license agreements extend for the life
of MMTC's patents. The patent terms expire at various times from May 2011 to
November 2014.

Our rights under our license agreement with Duke University extend for the
longer of 20 years or the end of any term for which any relevant patents are
issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. For portions of the technology,
our rights are worldwide, and for the various patent rights, the license covers
the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Japan.

Our rights under our license agreement with Sloan-Kettering will terminate
at the later of 20 years after the date of the license agreement or the last
expiration date of any patent rights covered by the agreement.

The MIT, MMTC, Duke University and Sloan-Kettering license agreements each
contains license fee, royalty and/or research support provisions, testing and
regulatory milestones, and other performance

26
30

requirements that we must meet by certain deadlines with respect to the use of
the licensed technologies. In conjunction with the patent holders, we intend to
file international applications for certain of the U.S. patents.

In addition to the rights available to us under completed or pending
license agreements, we rely on our own proprietary know-how and experience in
the development and use of microwave thermotherapy equipment, which we seek to
protect, in part, through proprietary information agreements with employees,
consultants and others. We cannot offer assurances that these information
agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any
breach or that these agreements, even if fully enforced, will be adequate to
prevent third-party use of our proprietary technology. Similarly, we cannot
guarantee that technology rights licensed to us by others will not be
successfully challenged or circumvented by third parties, or that the rights
granted will provide us with adequate protection. We are aware of patent
applications and issued patents belonging to other companies, and it is
uncertain whether any of these, or patent applications filed of which we may not
have any knowledge, will require us to alter our potential products or
processes, pay licensing fees, or cease certain activities.

MANUFACTURING OF PRODUCTS

We believe we are best suited to conduct basic research and development
activities, to pursue a prototype product through clinical testing and
regulatory approval and to market the final product. Accordingly, we do not
intend to engage in manufacturing, but instead intend to outsource the
manufacture of final commercial products, components and disposables. Based on
past experience, we do not anticipate any significant obstacles in identifying
and contracting with qualified suppliers and manufacturers

THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT

Third-party reimbursement arrangements will likely be essential to
commercial acceptance of our new devices, and overall cost-effectiveness and
physician advocacy will be keys to obtaining such reimbursement. We believe that
our equipment can be used to deliver treatment at substantially lower total cost
than surgical treatments for BPH or cancer or continuous drug therapy.
Consequently, we believe that third-party payors seeking procedures that provide
quality clinical outcomes at lower cost will help drive acceptance of our
products.

Our strategy for obtaining new reimbursement authorizations in the United
States is to obtain appropriate reimbursement codes and to perform studies in
conjunction with clinical trials to establish the efficacy and
cost-effectiveness of the procedures as compared to surgical and drug treatments
for BPH and cancerous breast tumors. We plan to use this information when
approaching health care payors to obtain new reimbursement authorizations.

With the increasing use of managed care and capitation as a means to
control health care costs in the United States, we believe that physicians may
view our products as a tool to treat BPH and breast cancer patients at a lower
total cost, thus providing them with a competitive advantage when negotiating
managed care contracts. This is especially important in the United States, where
a significant portion of the aging, Medicare-eligible population is moving into
a managed care system.

Subject to regulatory approval for the use of our equipment to treat breast
cancer and BPH, we anticipate that physicians will submit insurance claims for
reimbursement for such procedures to third party-payors, such as Medicare
carriers, Medicaid carriers, health maintenance organizations and private
insurers. In the United States and in international markets, third-party
reimbursement is generally available for existing therapies used to treat cancer
and BPH. The availability and level of reimbursement from such payors for the
use of our new products will be a significant factor in our ability to
commercialize these systems.

We expect that new regulations regarding third-party reimbursement for
certain investigational devices in the United States will allow us to pursue
early reimbursement from Medicare with individual clinical sites prior to
receiving FDA approval. However, FDA approval likely will be necessary to obtain
a national coverage determination from Medicare. The national coverage
determination for third-party reimbursement will depend on the determination of
the United States Health Care Financing Administration, or HCFA, which

27
31

establishes national coverage policies for Medicare carriers, including the
amount to be reimbursed, for coverage of claims submitted for reimbursement
related to specific procedures. Private insurance companies and health
maintenance organizations make their own determinations regarding coverage and
reimbursement based upon "usual and customary" fees. Reimbursement experience
with a particular third-party payor does not reflect a formal reimbursement
determination by the third party-payor. New outpatient procedure codes were
instituted on August 1, 2000. Our ability to petition successfully for these new
reimbursement codes will ultimately determine the degree of success we achieve
in implementing our business model.

Internationally, we expect to seek reimbursement approvals for procedures
utilizing our new products on an individual country basis. Some countries
currently have established reimbursement authorizations for transurethral
microwave therapy. We expect to use clinical studies and physician advocacy to
support reimbursement requests in countries in which there is currently no
reimbursement for such procedures.

UNITED STATES REGULATION

In the United States, our products are comprehensively regulated by FDA as
medical devices under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FD&C Act"). The
FD&C Act and FDA's implementing regulations and policies govern, among other
things, the manufacturing, safety, efficacy, labeling, storage, and marketing of
medical devices. The FDA classifies medical devices as Class I, Class II or
Class III, depending on the nature of the medical device and the existence in
the market of any similar devices. Class I medical devices are subject to
general controls, including labeling, pre-market notification and good
manufacturing practice requirements. Class II medical devices are subject to
general and special controls, including performance standards, postmarket
surveillance, patient registries and FDA guidelines. Class III medical devices
are those which must receive pre-market ("PMA") approval by FDA to ensure their
safety and effectiveness, typically including life-sustaining, life-supporting,
or implantable devices or new devices which have been found not to be
substantially equivalent to currently marketed medical devices.

Before a new device can be introduced into the U.S. market, it must, in
most cases, receive either pre-market notification clearance under section
510(k) of the FD&C Act or approval pursuant to the more costly and
time-consuming PMA process. A PMA application must be supported by valid
scientific evidence to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the device,
typically including the results of clinical trials pursuant to an approved IDE,
bench tests, laboratory and animal studies. Thus far, the FDA has classified our
products as Class III products requiring PMAs. If we fail to obtain PMA approval
for any of our new systems, or if the PMA process is extended for a considerable
length of time, the commencement of commercial sales of any such system could be
delayed substantially or indefinitely.

The Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, regulates the frequencies of
microwave and radio-frequency emissions from medical and other types of
equipment to prevent interference with commercial and governmental
communications networks. The FCC has approved the frequency of 915 MHZ for
medical applications, and machines utilizing that frequency do not require
shielding to prevent interference with communications. Our Microfocus and BPH
treatment products utilize the 915 MHZ frequency.

In December 1984 the HCFA approved reimbursement under Medicare and
Medicaid for thermotherapy treatment when used in conjunction with radiation
therapy for the treatment of surface and subsurface tumors. At this time, most
of the large medical insurance carriers in the United States have approved
reimbursement for this type of thermotherapy treatment under their health
policies. Thermotherapy treatment administered using equipment that has received
pre-marketing approval is eligible for such reimbursement.

We are subject to inspection by the FDA at any time to ensure compliance
with FDA regulations in the production and sale of medical products. We believe
that we are substantially in compliance with FDA regulations governing the
manufacturing and marketing of medical devices. Previously, we received pre-
marketing approval from the FDA for our original Microfocus 1000 cancer
treatment equipment for surface and subsurface tumors in conjunction with
radiation. We have also received a supplemental pre-marketing approval to add
the APA technology from MIT to the Microfocus 1000 equipment. We are seeking a
new indication of use to enable our improved Microfocus equipment with APA to be
used for breast tumor ablation using heat alone.
28
32

We also received approval to conduct an expanded Phase I study using our
BPH treatment system. The purpose of the expanded Phase I study was to test a
revised protocol, intended both to shorten significantly the BPH treatment time
for each patient application and to lower the manufacturing cost for a
disposable device used during the treatment. This expanded Phase I study was
completed in May 2000. In July 2000 the FDA approved the commencement of
multiple-site Phase II studies, and the first of such studies commenced
effective October 18, 2000.

In August 2000 we completed the treatment of ten patients in a Phase I
study of our breast cancer treatment system and, in December 2000 we received
FDA approval to commence Phase II clinical trials.

REGULATION OF FOREIGN SALES

Sales of domestically produced medical devices outside of the United States
are subject to United States export requirements and foreign regulatory
controls. Export sales of investigational devices that are subject to
pre-marketing approval requirements and have not received FDA marketing approval
generally may be subject to FDA export permit requirements under the FD&C Act,
depending upon, among other things, the purpose of the export (investigational
or commercial) and on whether the device has valid marketing authorization in a
country listed in the FDA Export Reform and Enhancement Act of 1996. In order to
obtain a permit, when required, we must provide the FDA with documentation that
the medical device regulatory authority of the country in which the purchaser is
located has approved the device. In addition, the FDA must find that export of
the device is not contrary to public health and safety of the country in which
the purchaser is located.

We have sold our original products in 23 countries in Asia, Europe, and
South America. Meeting the registration requirements within these countries was
the responsibility of our distributors in each of these countries. Legal
restrictions on the sale of imported medical devices vary from country to
country. The time required to obtain approval by a foreign country may be longer
or shorter than that required for FDA approval, and the requirements may differ.
We expect to receive approvals for marketing in a number of countries outside
the United States prior to the time that we will be able to market our products
in the United States. However, the timing for such approvals currently is not
known.

COMPETITION

Many companies and institutions are engaged in research and development of
thermotherapy technologies for both cancer and prostate disease products that
seek treatment outcomes similar to those we are pursuing. In addition, a number
of companies and institutions are pursuing alternative treatment strategies
through the use of radio frequency, laser and ultrasound energy sources, all of
which appear to be in the early stages of development and testing. We believe
that the level of interest by others in investigating the potential of
thermotherapy and alternative technologies will continue and may increase.
Potential competitors engaged in all areas of cancer and prostate treatment
research in the United States and other countries include, among others, major
pharmaceutical and chemical companies, specialized technology companies,
universities and other research institutions. Most of our competitors and
potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, human and
other resources, and may also have far greater experience than we have, both in
preclinical testing and human clinical trials of new products and in obtaining
FDA and other regulatory approvals. One or more of these companies or
institutions could succeed in developing products or other technologies that are
more effective than any which we have been or are developing, or which could
render our technology and products obsolete and non-competitive. Furthermore, if
we are permitted to commence commercial sales of products, we will also be
competing, with respect to manufacturing efficiency and marketing, with
companies having greater resources and experience in these areas.

Several U.S. and overseas companies, including BSD Medical Corporation and
Labthermics Technology, Inc., have marketed equipment using heat produced by
microwaves or ultrasound to treat surface and subsurface cancer, either with or
without the concurrent use of radiation or chemotherapy. To our knowledge, among
these entities, BSD Medical Corporation has the longest business history and has
sold the largest number of microwave thermotherapy units for the treatment of
surface and subsurface cancer, but we do not

29
33

believe that BSD Medical Corporation has a dominant competitive position or that
its equipment has been widely accepted for use in the treatment of cancer. We
believe BSD Medical Corporation is attempting to develop more advanced versions
of its equipment for use in treating deep-seated tumors.

In the treatment of BPH, EDAP TMS S.A., a French company, has marketed a
device named the "Prostatron," both in the U.S. and overseas, which uses
microwave-generated heat to destroy enlarged prostate tissue. Also, Urologix,
Inc., a domestic company, has introduced a BPH medical device similar to the
Prostatron. In October 2000, Urologix acquired the Prostatron product line from
EDAP. While we believe these devices have not been widely used or accepted by
providers of medical treatment for BPH, there is no guarantee that EDAP TMS S.A.
or Urologix, Inc. will not seek to introduce improved equipment for the
treatment of BPH. We are aware of other companies currently developing or
marketing devices using other forms of energy, including laser, radio frequency,
ultrasound and infrared technologies, for the treatment of BPH. If any of these
treatment technologies become widely accepted by the medical community in the
future, such acceptance could pose a pose a significant competitive risk to us.

PRODUCT LIABILITY AND INSURANCE

Our business exposes us to potential product liability risks that are
inherent in the testing, manufacturing, and marketing of human therapeutic
products. We presently have product liability insurance limited to $5,000,000
per incident, and, if we were to be subject to a claim in excess of this
coverage or to a claim not covered by our insurance and the claim succeeded, we
would be required to pay the claim out of our own limited resources.

EMPLOYEES

We presently utilize the services of 28 individuals on a regular basis,
including 13 full-time employees and 15 part-time consultants. In addition, our
Scientific Advisory Board and Business Advisory Board each actively assists our
management with advice on various projects. None of our employees are
represented by a collective bargaining organization, and we consider our
relations with our employees to be good.

FACILITIES

Our present facilities consist of approximately 7,000 square feet of
administrative office, laboratory and workshop space at 10220-I Old Columbia
Road, Columbia, Maryland 21046-1705. We lease the premises from an unaffiliated
party under a five-year lease that expires May 31, 2005. We believe that our
facilities are sufficient to meet our needs through the remaining term of the
lease and that alternative space is and should be available thereafter. The
monthly rent under the lease is $8,000.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On April 27, 2000, we commenced an action in the United States District
Court for the District of Maryland against Warren C. Stearns, a former director,
Mr. Stearn's management company, SMC, and a number of Mr. Stearns' family
members and colleagues who hold certain warrants for the purchase of
approximately 3.4 million shares of our common stock. These warrants were
intended as compensation for certain investment banking, brokerage and financing
services rendered and to be rendered by Mr. Stearns and SMC. We have reviewed
with our attorneys the circumstances surrounding the issuance of these warrants
and the services that were performed or purported to be performed by Mr. Stearns
and SMC, and have concluded that these warrants should be rescinded. We believe
that the issuance of these warrants was in violation of Section 15 of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and constitutes a voidable transaction under
the provisions of Section 29 of that Act.

The defendants in the litigation have moved to dismiss the complaint on
various technical grounds, including statute of limitations. We are opposing
this motion and intend to prosecute the litigation vigorously.

Compensation Committee and a Research and Development Oversight Committee. The
Audit Committee's principal responsibilities are to recommend annually a firm of
independent auditors to the Board of Directors, to review the annual audit of
our financial statements, to meet with our independent auditors from time to
time in order to review our general policies and procedures with respect to
audits and accounting and financial controls and to perform the various acts
required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The principal responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are to establish
compensation policies for our executive officers and the administration of our

for reviewing the performance, scheduling and cost-effectiveness of our research
and development programs. Drs. Link, Leffall and Tihon serve on the Audit
Committee, Mr. Volk and Drs. Tihon and Link comprise the Compensation Committee
and Drs. Cheung and Leffall are the members of the Research and Development
Oversight Committee.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

No interlocking relationship exists between the Compensation Committee or
the Board of Directors and any other company's board of directors or
compensation committee. Mr. Volk's 1997 employment agreement with Celsion was
entered into prior to the formation of the Compensation Committee. New
employment
32
36

agreements with Mr. Volk and Dr. Cheung, entered into in January 2000, were
reviewed by the Compensation Committee and approved by the full Board, and
neither Mr. Volk nor Dr. Cheung participated in the deliberations concerning
their respective agreements. The Compensation Committee believes that the
compensation arrangements for Mr. Volk and Dr. Cheung align their respective
interests with those of the stockholders. See "-- Executive Employment
Agreements", and "Certain Transactions" for a more detailed discussion of our
compensation arrangements with Mr. Volk and Dr. Cheung.

DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION

For the year ended September 30, 2000, each of the four members of the
Board of Directors who is not an officer of Celsion was paid in shares of common
stock equivalent to $20,000 for their service. The shares were valued at $2.44
per share.

Officers who also act as directors previously received 2,000 shares each of
common stock for a full year of service on the Board, but, beginning in the 2000
fiscal year, no separate compensation was paid to any of our officers for
service on the Board or any Board committee.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

Pursuant to an agreement with the placement agent that conducted the
private placement offering that we consummated on January 31, 2000, we entered
into three-year employment agreements with Augustine Y. Cheung, our Chairman and
Chief Scientific Officer, and Spencer J. Volk, our President and Chief Executive
Officer. The new agreements are intended to encourage continuity of management
and were effective as of January 1, 2000. The terms of our prior executive
employment arrangements and a summary of the new agreements are described below.

The new executive employment agreement with Dr. Cheung provides for an
annual salary of $240,000 per year commencing as of January 1, 2000. As a form
of bonus, the agreement grants Dr. Cheung an option to purchase up to 300,000
shares of common stock at intervals until October 1, 2002 at an exercise price
of $1.22 per share, which is equal to the average closing price of our common
stock during our fiscal quarter ended December 31, 1999. If Dr. Cheung continues
to be employed by Celsion on each exercise date, he will be entitled to exercise
the bonus option in three separate installments of 100,000 shares each. The
first installment became exercisable on March 16, 2000, the next installment
will become exercisable after October 1, 2001, with the final installment
exercisable after October 1, 2002. Shares purchased under the bonus option will
be subject to restrictions on transfer for a minimum period of two years after
purchase. Dr. Cheung's employment agreement also grants to him performance-based
options to purchase up to a maximum of 700,000 incentive shares of common stock,
at exercise prices ranging from a low of $0.80 to a high of $1.60 per share, on
achieving five significant corporate milestones. Those performance objectives
include obtaining final FDA approval for our products, consummating alliances
with strategic marketing and distribution partners and attaining annual pre-tax
earnings of at least $1,000,000. A performance-based option may be exercised
only after the milestone has been achieved and during the term of Dr. Cheung's
employment. Shares issued on exercise of performance-based options will be
subject to restrictions comparable to those imposed on the annual bonus option
shares.

In May 1997 we entered into a one-year executive employment agreement with
Spencer J. Volk to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer, which
agreement was automatically renewable annually for additional one-year periods
unless terminated by either party at least 90 days prior to the end of the then-
current one-year period. The agreement provided for an initial annual salary of
$240,000, which was to be adjusted to at least $360,000 upon our successful
raising of an aggregate of at least $5,000,000 in additional capital. In
addition, Mr. Volk received 500,000 shares of our common stock at the
commencement of his employment as incentive compensation. He also had the right
to receive up to 1,400,000 additional shares subject both to an increase in our
capital base and to Mr. Volk's continued employment. Under Mr. Volk's
leadership, we achieved the specified capital goals, but as of September 30,
1999, Mr. Volk had received only 1,000,000 of the additional shares. At our
request, he deferred receipt of the remaining 400,000 shares to a later date.
Similarly, although the pre-condition for Mr. Volk's salary adjustment had been
met, Mr. Volk agreed, at our request, to waive the salary increase due him for
any period prior to September 30, 1999.

With regard to the deferred 400,000 shares, on November 11, 1999, we
requested Mr. Volk to waive his right under his existing employment agreement to
receive these shares. Simultaneously, we granted him an option to purchase
400,000 shares of restricted common stock at a price equal to two-thirds of the
average closing price of common stock during the prior three trading days (which
closing price amounted to approximately $0.75 per share) and we agreed to issue
100,000 shares of common stock to him no later than February 15, 2000. Mr. Volk
agreed to our proposal.

At our request and the request of the placement agent, Mr. Volk agreed to
terminate his prior employment agreement and to enter into a new three-year
employment agreement, effective January 1, 2000. Mr. Volk's salary currently is
$240,000. His compensation arrangements contain annual bonus and
performance-based option provisions similar to those contained in Dr. Cheung's
employment agreement, except that Mr. Volk was issued an initial annual bonus
option for the purchase of 250,000 shares in fiscal year 2000 instead of the
100,000 share bonus option provided for that year in Dr. Cheung's agreement. Mr.
Volk's annual bonus for each of fiscal 2001 and 2002 will be 100,000 shares, as
in Dr. Cheung's agreement. For the 2001 fiscal year and the balance of the
contract term, Mr. Volk's annual salary will be $360,000, of which, at

35
39

Celsion's option, only $240,000 may be paid on a current basis. In the event
that Celsion elects to defer the salary differential such differential will
accrue as an unpaid obligation to Mr. Volk at the rate of $10,000 per month, and
will be represented by a junior convertible note of Celsion, carrying interest
at an annual rate of 8.75%, payable interest only until September 30, 2001.
After October 1, 2001, the outstanding principal amount of the note will be
payable in four quarterly installments of principal and interest. However, the
balance of the note will become payable in full, and regular salary payments
will be made at the annual rate of $360,000 at such time, if any, as we achieve
annual revenues of at least $2.5 million. At the option of Mr. Volk, the balance
payable at any time under the note will be convertible into shares of our common
stock at a price equal to 80% of the average closing price of such common stock
during any ten consecutive trading days selected by Mr. Volk within the 40
trading days immediately prior to the date of any conversion of the note.

The new agreements for each executive provide for continued payment of
salary and benefits during the full terms of the agreements in the event of a
change of control of Celsion. A change of control is defined as a merger, asset
sale, tender offer or other substantial change in voting control, or the
election of a new majority of the Board of Directors or of three or more
directors whose election is opposed by a majority of the Board. In addition, the
agreements provide for Consumer Price Index adjustments, restrictive covenants
and confidentiality and other protections in the form generally included in
employment agreements for senior management.

In addition, in May of 2000, we entered into a three-year employment
agreement with Dennis Smith, our Director of Engineering. Mr. Smith's agreement
provides for an annual salary of $100,000. The agreement also provides for
performance-based incentive options to purchase up to 150,000 shares of common
stock, exercisable only if certain corporate milestones are reached during his
employment, at exercise prices ranging from $2.80 to $3.20. In addition, the
agreement grants Mr. Smith an option, not subject to performance conditions, for
the purchase of 100,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $2.82 per
share.

Finally, in June 2000 we entered into a three-year employment agreement
with John Mon, a director and our Treasurer, Secretary and General Manager. Mr.
Mon's agreement provides for an annual salary of $100,000. Dr. Cheung's
agreement also provides for performance-based incentive options to purchase up
to 250,000 shares of common stock, exercisable only if certain corporate
milestones are reached during his employment, on terms similar to those
governing the incentive options provided for Mr. Volk and Dr. Cheung. In
addition, the agreement grants Mr. Mon an option, not subject to performance
conditions, for the purchase of 50,000 shares of common stock at a price of
$2.75 per share.

AGGREGATE OPTION EXERCISES AND YEAR-END OPTION VALUES IN 2000

The following table summarizes, for each of the Named Executive Officers,
the number of stock options held at September 30, 2000 and the aggregate dollar
value of in-the-money unexercised options. The value of unexercised,
in-the-money options at September 30, 2000 is the difference between the
exercise price and the fair market value of the underlying stock on September
30, 2000, which was $2.44 per share based on the closing price of our common
stock on September 30, 2000. The options described have not been and may never
be exercised, and actual gains, if any, on exercise will depend on the value of
our common stock on the actual date of exercise.

- ---------------
(1) Since the end of fiscal year 2000, an exercisable option to purchase 167,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.4375 was issued to Anthony
P. Deasey, the new Senior Vice President -- Finance and Chief Financial
Officer pursuant to the employment agreement between the Company and Mr.
Deasey.

(2) All of the options listed in the table above are exercisable.

(3) Pursuant to Dr. Cheung's employment agreement, the exercise price is equal
to the average closing price of the common stock during the fiscal quarter
ended December 31, 1999.

(4) Of the options to purchase the 650,000 shares owned by Mr. Volk, the option
to purchase 250,000 shares was granted pursuant to the new employment
contract between Celsion and Mr. Volk. The exercise price of the 250,000 is
equal to the average closing price of the common stock during the fiscal
quarter ended December 31, 1999.

37
41

(5) Separately, 100,000 shares of Common Stock and an option to purchase 400,000
shares were granted to Mr. Volk in exchange of the 400,000 shares of Common
Stock due to Mr. Volk pursuant to the first employment contract between
Celsion and Mr. Volk. The exercise price of the option to purchase 400,000
shares is equal to 66.67% of the average closing price of the common stock
during the three trading days prior to November 11, 1999.

(6) Potential Realizable Value assumes that the common stock appreciates at the
indicated annual rate (compounded annually) from the grant date until the
expiration of the option term and is calculated based on the rules
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Potential Realizable
Value does not represent our estimate of future stock price performance. The
potential realizable value at 5% and 10% appreciation is calculated by
assuming that the estimated fair market value on the date of grant
appreciates at the indicated rate for the entire term of the option and that
the option is exercised at the exercise price and sold on the last day of
its term at the appreciated price. The public offering price is higher than
the estimated fair market value on the date of grant, and the potential
realizable value of the option grants would be significantly higher than the
numbers shown in the table if future stock prices were projected to the end
of the option term by applying the same annual rates of stock price
appreciation to the public offering price.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

At our annual meeting held on April 27, 1998, our stockholders approved a
stock option plan. The plan reserved up to 2,000,000 shares for option grants to
directors, employees and consultants, of which options for 1,635,000 shares were
available for grant as of November 30, 2000. We have agreed to allow Spencer J.
Volk, our President and Chief Executive Officer, to recommend the recipients of
such options, subject to approval by the Board of Directors.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

COMPENSATION TO WARREN C. STEARNS

Warren C. Stearns, a former director and financial consultant to Celsion,
was previously engaged to provide services to Celsion for a two-year period
beginning May 1996 under a consulting agreement between Celsion and Mr. Stearns'
company, SMC. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Stearns was to perform various
services related to financing and investment banking for Celsion. In
consideration for such services, the agreement provided for the issuance of, and
we issued to designees of SMC and Mr. Stearns, five-year warrants to purchase
shares of our common stock.

We have reviewed with our attorneys the circumstances surrounding the
issuance of the above warrants and the services that were performed or purported
to be performed by Mr. Stearns and SMC. We believe that the issuance of such
warrants constituted a voidable transaction under provisions of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and have commenced litigation against SMC, Mr. Stearns and
the warrant holders to cancel the warrants. See "Business -- Legal Proceedings."

GEORGE T. HORTON TRUST LOAN

We were obligated under a secured note to the George T. Horton Trust in the
original principal amount of $220,000, which bore interest at 1% per month, was
payable December 15, 1997, and was secured by certain equipment and software.
The George T. Horton Trust is a part equity owner of SMC. In full satisfaction
of such note, we paid $120,000 and issued 200,000 shares of our common stock.

HLB

We previously used the services of HLB, an engineering firm, to assist in
the development of commercial versions of our new breast cancer and BPH
treatment systems. Walter B. Herbst, one of our directors until October 2000,
was the founder and is a director of HLB. In the 1998 fiscal year, HLB billed
Celsion $561,238

38
42

for extensive engineering and design work it performed, on terms which, in the
judgment of the Board of Directors, were comparable to terms which would be
available from a non-affiliated vendor. Of this amount, HLB was paid $106,500 in
cash, and on September 23, 1998, HLB converted $250,000 of the amount owed into
833,334 shares of restricted common stock at the then-current market price of
$0.30 per share. On June 16, 1999 HLB converted the remaining balance of
$204,738 into 409,476 shares of restricted common stock at $0.50 per share.

PROMISSORY NOTES AND CONVERSIONS INTO COMMON STOCK; PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK

From 1987 through 1998 we borrowed sums needed for working capital at
various times from related parties, and issued promissory notes as follows:

- A note dated January 26, 1987 payable to Dr. Augustine Cheung, accruing
interest at the rate of 12% per annum, in the principal amount of $78,750
due December 31, 1998.

- A note dated June 30, 1994 payable to Dr. Augustine Cheung, accruing
interest at the rate of 10% per annum, in the principal amount of $42,669
due December 31, 1998.

All of such notes and accrued interest have been converted into common
stock at prices equal to fair market value at the time of conversion. In
addition to conversion of the foregoing notes, on September 23, 1998, Mr. Volk
converted $50,134 of amounts we owed him for unpaid expense reimbursements into
167,114 shares of our common stock at $0.30 per share.

On June 16, 1999, certain officers converted accrued salary payable to them
into restricted common stock as follows: Spencer J. Volk converted $289,884 into
579,768 shares at $0.50 per share. Dr. Augustine Cheung converted $177,884 into
355,768 shares at $0.50 per share. John Mon converted $68,538 into 137,076
shares at $0.50 per share.

RESCISSION OF ARDEX ACQUISITION

On or about March 31, 1995, we paid $400,000 to Ardex Equipment, LLC and
$50,000 to Charles C. Shelton and Joseph Colino in exchange for an aggregate
19.25% interest in Ardex. At the time Messrs. Shelton and Colino were directors
of Celsion. In 1996, we received a $50,000 distribution from Ardex.

On August 2, 1996, we entered into an agreement with Ardex rescinding our
investment in Ardex. Pursuant to the Rescission Agreement, we were to receive a
5-year negotiable promissory note for $350,000 bearing interest at 8% per annum.
Interest only was to be paid until the principal became due. Principal was due
upon the first of the following events to occur: (i) completion of public or
private offerings by Ardex in the aggregate of $1,500,000 or more; (ii) 90 days
following the year end in which sales have been or exceed $3,000,000; or (iii)
Ardex having a cash balance of $800,000 or more from operations; or (iv) five
years from the date of the note. The note was to be secured by a limited
guarantee of Charles C. Shelton, Joseph Colino and John Kohlman, but only to the
extent of their interest in Ardex and their options in Celsion. In addition,
Messrs. Shelton, Colino and Kohlman were to deliver their personal promissory
notes for a total of $50,000.

The terms of the Recission Agreement were not performed by Ardex and
Messrs. Shelton, Colino and Kohlman, and we were advised by Ardex and these
persons that they could not honor the terms of the Recission Agreement because
Ardex had not been successful and the Ardex individuals were in financial
difficulties. We are no longer continuing with our efforts to obtain the
documents contemplated by the Rescission Agreement.

On September 30, 1998, we entered into a settlement agreement with Charles
Shelton pursuant to which we released any claims against Mr. Shelton and Mr.
Shelton waived his right to an option to purchase 420,000 shares of our common
stock at a price of $.35 per share and his claim for approximately $110,000
against us in exchange for 50,000 shares of our common stock. At the time of
such settlement, our shares were trading at a price of approximately of $0.30
per share.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

The following table sets forth certain information known to us regarding
the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of November 30, 2000, as
adjusted to reflect the sale of shares of common stock in this
offering and the conversion of all outstanding shares of our convertible
preferred stock into shares of common stock, by:

- each person or group known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our
outstanding common stock;

- each of our directors and each Named Executive Officer; and

- our directors and executive officers as a group.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons
included in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all
shares beneficially owned. Shares of common stock subject to options that are
currently exercisable or are exercisable within 60 days of November 30, 2000 are
treated as outstanding and beneficially owned with respect to the person holding
such options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such
person. However, these shares are not treated as outstanding for purposes of
computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

GENERAL

Our authorized capitalization consists of 150,000,000 shares of common
stock, $0.01 par value, and 100,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 per share,
of which 7,000 shares have been designated as Series A 10% Convertible Preferred
Stock. As of November 30, 2000 and prior to the sale of the common stock in this
offering, there were 64,487,634 shares of common stock outstanding and 4,853.5
shares of Series A Preferred Stock (plus 323 shares in accrued dividends as of
September 30, 2000) outstanding.

COMMON STOCK

Dividends. We have not paid dividends on our common stock and do not
anticipate paying dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future, because
we plan to reinvest any operating profits in the development of our business.

Dissolution. In the event of liquidation or dissolution of Celsion,
holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining
after payment of liabilities and provisions for the liquidation preferences of
any outstanding shares of common stock.

Voting. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each
share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders,
including the election of directors. Stockholders are not entitled to cumulate
their votes for members of the Board of Directors.

Miscellaneous. Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights and have
no right to convert their common stock into any other securities.

Market for Shares. Shares of common stock are listed and traded on The
American Stock Exchange under the symbol CLN. The closing price of the common
stock on November 30, 2000 was $1.36 per share.

Registration Rights. We sold shares of our common stock and warrants to
purchase our common stock to certain purchasers in private placements that we
consummated in 1998, 1999 and 2000. Certain of these purchasers have the right
to include the shares of common stock that they purchased in these private
placements or that they received upon the exercise of warrants purchased in
these private placements in the registration statement that we have filed in
connection with this offering, subject to reduction or elimination in light of
market conditions. All such shares have been eliminated from this offering in
light of prevailing market conditions. Additionally, under certain circumstances
we may be required to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission all
of the shares of common stock that we sold in a private placement consummated on
January 31, 2000 during 2001.

SERIES A 10% CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

Exchange. The holders of the shares and fractional shares of Series A
Preferred Stock (including any shares and fractional shares issued or issuable
as cumulative dividends) will convert all or a portion of their shares or
fractional shares into common stock in connection with this offering. If we
consummate this offering on or before January 31, 2001, the holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock must, within 30 days, elect either:

- to exchange 100% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (including
shares and fractional shares issued as dividends) for the common stock
offered in this offering at an exchange price equal to 70% of the public
offering price of the common stock in this offering, or

- to exchange 50% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock for the common
stock offered in this offering at an exchange price equal to 70% of the
public offering price of the common stock in this offering and convert
the remainder of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held into our
common stock at a conversion price of $0.41 per share of common stock (as
such price may be adjusted from time to time for stock splits, stock
combinations, recapitalizations or otherwise).

41
45

If this offering is consummated on or before January 31, 2001 and any holder of
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock does not elect either of these options
within the 30-day period after notification, all rights of the holder to convert
his shares of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock shall lapse and
terminate, and we will, within a reasonable time thereafter, redeem the shares
of Series A Preferred Stock so held at a redemption price of 105% of the
liquidation value of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and in accordance
with applicable law.

In addition if, on or before January 31, 2001, we consummate a sale of any
of our subsidiaries to a public company or a merger of any subsidiary into a
public company for consideration consisting of securities of the acquiring
public company, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be
similarly notified and will have a 30-day period to elect either

- to exchange 100% of the holder's shares of Series A Preferred Stock for
the acquiring company's securities at an exchange price equal to 70% of
the price of the acquiring company's securities established in the sale
of the subsidiary, or

- to exchange 50% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock for the
acquiring company's securities on the same terms and convert the
remainder of the shares into common stock at a conversion price of $0.41.

If any holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock does not elect either of
these options within the 30-day period after notification of a sale of a
subsidiary and the sale is consummated on or before January 31, 2001, all rights
of the holder to exchange his shares for the acquiring company's securities or
to convert the shares into common stock shall lapse and terminate, and we will,
within a reasonable time thereafter, redeem the shares so held at a redemption
price of 105% of the liquidation value of the shares and in accordance with
applicable law.

If we do not consummate this offering, or a sale of a subsidiary, on or
before January 31, 2001, then any holder of our Series A Preferred Stock may
elect at any time, subject to the condition in the next paragraph, to convert
his shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into shares of our
common stock at a conversion price of $0.41 per share.

In addition, if we do not consummate this offering, or a sale of a
subsidiary, on or before January 31, 2001, and we undertake a public offering
consisting only of common stock for our own account at any time subsequent to
January 31, 2001, then, at our specific election and upon notice to the holders
of the Series A Preferred Stock, we can require the holders to convert their
shares of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock at a conversion price of
$0.41 per share.

Dividend Rights. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are
entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors out of
earnings at the time legally available therefor, dividends at the annual rate of
10% per share, payable semi-annually on March 31 and September 30, pro-rated to
the date of original issuance of such shares. Dividends are cumulative and are
payable to holders of record as they appear on our stock books on record dates
as are fixed by the Board of Directors. Such dividends are payable in shares and
fractional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, valued for this purpose at the
rate of $1,000 per share.

Liquidation Preference. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of
Celsion, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Series A Preferred Stock has
preference and priority over our common stock for payment, out of our assets or
proceeds thereof available for distribution to stockholders, of the sum of
$1,000 per share plus all cumulative dividends payable and unpaid thereon to the
date of such distribution and, after this payment, the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock are entitled to no other payments.

Redemption. We may call all or any portion of the outstanding shares of
Series A Preferred Stock for redemption at any time beginning August 1, 2000 at
a redemption price equal to 105% of the liquidation preference of such shares,
plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. We must give at least 30 days notice of
any redemption, and, during the period from the giving of such notice until the
actual redemption date, holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will
be entitled to convert, into our common stock, any portion or all of the shares
being called for redemption, at a conversion price of $0.41 per share,
notwithstanding, and in

42
46

addition to, any other provisions on exchange or conversion described above. All
exchange and conversion rights for those redeemed shares of Series A Preferred
Stock that have not been converted during the redemption period will terminate,
effective as of the date fixed for redemption, provided we have tendered and set
aside payment of the redemption price.

Voting Rights. The Series A Preferred Stock has no voting rights, except
that the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding Series A Preferred Stock is required to approve:

- any proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation that would
materially alter or change the powers, preferences, or special rights of
the Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect the holders adversely, and

- any plan of merger or consolidation that contains provisions which, if
contained in a proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation,
would have entitled the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to vote,
as a class, on the issue.

Registration Rights. Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock or of our
common stock received upon exchange of Series A Preferred Stock in connection
with this offering have certain rights to register the common stock received or
to be received upon such exchange for resale, as described below. No later than
March 2, 2001, we are required to request that each holder of Series A Preferred
Stock or common stock issued in exchange for shares of Series A Preferred Stock
notify us if he or she desires to register any of such common stock for resale.
If, within 30 days following our request, the holders of at least a majority of
the common stock issued or issuable upon exchange of Series A Preferred Stock
request that their shares be registered, we are obligated promptly to prepare
and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on
the Commission's Form S-3 (or comparable form) for the registration of such
common stock, to use our best efforts to cause the registration statement to
become effective within 60 days after filing, and to keep it effective for at
least nine months; provided, however, that we will not be required at any time
to file and complete any registration statement for the sale of common stock on
behalf of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock if such holders are
permitted at that time to sell such common stock under the provisions of Rule
144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Act.

EFFECTS OF CERTAIN CHARTER AND BY-LAW PROVISIONS.

Indemnification and Liability for Directors. Our Certificate of
Incorporation requires us to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
our directors and officers from expenses assessed against them by reason of
being or having served as directors or officers. The Delaware General
Corporation Law provides that directors of Delaware corporations may be relieved
of monetary liability for breach of their fiduciary duty of care, except under
certain circumstances involving breach of a director's duty of loyalty, acts or
omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, or any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit.

DELAWARE LAW

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
which regulates corporate acquisitions. Section 203 prohibits a publicly held
Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an
"interested stockholder" for a period of three years following the date the
person became an interested stockholder, unless:

- the Board of Directors approved the transaction in which the interested
stockholder became an interested stockholder prior to the date the
stockholder attained interested stockholder status;

- upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder's
becoming an interested stockholder, he or she owned at least 85% of the
voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction
commenced, excluding shares owned by persons who are directors and also
officers; or

- on or subsequent to the date the business combination is approved by the
Board of Directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of
stockholders by the holders of at least 66 2/3% of our outstanding voting
stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

43
47

A "business combination" includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other
transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An
"interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and
associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested
stockholder status, did own, 15% or more of a corporation's voting stock.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The Transfer Agent and Registrar for the common stock is American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

As of November 30, 2000, 64,487,634 shares of our common stock were
outstanding. In addition to the outstanding shares of our common stock described
above, as of November 30, 2000, we had 1,635,000 shares of common stock reserved
for options reserved under our stock option plans, 7,726,094 shares reserved for
issuance upon exercise of currently outstanding warrants and options and
14,794,512 (assuming conversion price of $0.41/share) shares reserved for
issuance upon conversion of any Series A Preferred Stock. Of the shares
outstanding, as of November 30, 2000, 40,794,467 are freely tradable without
restriction. The remaining 23,693,167 shares of our common stock outstanding as
of November 30, 2000, are "restricted securities" as that term is defined under
Rule 144, and may not be sold unless registered under the Securities Act or sold
under an available exemption.

In general, under Rule 144, a person who has beneficially owned restricted
securities for at least one year would be entitled to sell within any
three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

- one percent of the number of shares of common stock outstanding at that
time, which equaled approximately 644,876 shares as of November 30, 2000,
or

- the average weekly trading volume of our common stock during the four
calendar weeks preceding the sale, which equaled approximately [520,025]
shares for the four weeks ending December 8, 2000.

Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to requirements with respect to
manner of sale, notice and the availability of current public information about
us. Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been our affiliate at
any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially
owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, is entitled to sell
the shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume
limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.

Approximately 10,117,148 shares of common stock were held by affiliates as
of November 30, 2000. So long as such stock remains in the hands of affiliates,
unless sold pursuant to a registration statement, it will be subject to all of
the conditions of Rule 144, except for the holding period. If these holders of
our common stock cease to be affiliates and, in the case of restricted stock,
the two-year holding period of Rule 144(k) has been met, these shares may become
freely tradable, without regard to most of the Rule 144 restrictions, including
the volume limitation.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Agreement with Moors & Cabot, Inc. (the "Placement Agent"), 111 Devonshire

Other Agent has made any commitment to purchase any of the shares. The Placement

Placement Agent, on behalf of the

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Celsion Corporation
Columbia, Maryland

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Celsion Corporation as
of September 30, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations,
changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended September 30, 2000. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Celsion Corporation as of
September 30, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2000 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

CELSION CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000, 1999 AND 1998

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

Celsion Corporation ("Celsion" or the "Company") develops medical treatment
systems primarily to treat breast cancer and a chronic prostate enlargement
condition, common in older males, known as benign prostatic hyperplasia ("BPH"),
using minimally invasive focused heat technology. The Company has also been
working with Duke University on the development of heat-sensitive liposome
compounds for use in the delivery of chemotherapy drugs to tumor sites, and with
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center on the development of heat-activated gene
therapy compounds.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company classifies highly liquid investments with original maturities
of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost,
which approximates market value.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
using the average cost method.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets of three to seven years using the
straight-line method. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized at cost and
ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged against operations as incurred.
Depreciation expense was $23,648, $12,845 and $11,910 for the years ended
September 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Patent Licenses

The Company has purchased several licenses to use the rights to patented
technologies. Patent license costs are amortized straight-line over the
remaining patent life.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when systems, products or components are shipped and
when consulting services are rendered. Deferred revenue is recorded for customer
deposits received on contingent sale agreements.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Equipment and
facilities acquired for research and development activities which have
alternative future uses are capitalized and charged to expense over their
estimated useful lives.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share was computed by dividing net
loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
each period. The impact of common stock equivalents has been excluded from the
computation of weighted average common shares outstanding, as the effect would
be antidilutive.

CELSION CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

Nonmonetary Transactions

Nonmonetary transactions are accounted for in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 29 "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions" which
requires that the transfer or distribution of a nonmonetary asset or liability
generally is based on the fair value of the asset or liability that is received
or surrendered whichever is more clearly evident.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments

For most financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and
accruals, management believes that the carrying amount approximates fair value,
as the majority of these instruments are short-term in nature.

2. FINANCIAL CONDITION

Since inception, the Company has incurred substantial operating losses,
principally from expenses associated with the Company's research and development
programs, the clinical trials conducted in connection with the Company's
thermotherapy systems and applications for submission to the Food and Drug
Administration. The Company believes these expenditures are essential for the
commercialization of its technologies. The Company has experienced significant
operating losses and as of September 30, 2000 had an accumulated deficit of
approximately $26 million. The Company expects such operating losses to continue
and possibly increase in the near term and for the foreseeable future as it
continues its product development efforts, and undertakes marketing and sales
activities. The Company's ability to achieve profitability is dependent upon its
ability to successfully obtain governmental approvals, produce, market and sell
its new technology and integrate such technology into its thermotherapy systems.
The Company has not been able to successfully market its older thermotherapy
cancer treatment system because of its inability to provide heat treatment for
other than surface and sub-surface tumors. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to successfully commercialize its newer technology or that
profitability will ever be achieved. The operating results of the Company have
fluctuated significantly in the past. The Company expects that its operating
results will fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter in the future and
will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside the Company's
control.

The Company will need substantial additional funding in order to complete
the development, testing and commercialization of its cancer treatment and BPH
products and of potential new products. It is the Company's current intention
both to increase the pace of development work on its present products and to
make a significant commitment to thermosensitive liposome and gene therapy
research and development projects. The increase in the scope of present
development work and such new projects will require additional funding, at least
until the Company is able to begin marketing its products. The Company does not
have any committed sources of financing, and cannot guarantee that such
additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

If adequate funding is not available in the future, the Company may be
required to delay, scale-back or eliminate certain aspects of its operations or
to attempt to obtain funds through onerous arrangements with partners or others
that may force the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its technologies,
products or potential markers. Furthermore, if the Company cannot fund its
ongoing development and other operating

F-9

CELSION CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

requirements, and particularly those associated with its obligation to conduct
clinical trials under its licensing agreements, it will be in breach of its
commitments under such licensing agreements and could therefore lose its license
rights, with material adverse effects on the Company.

3. INVENTORIES

Inventories are comprised of the following:

2000 1999
------- -------

Materials................................................. $13,538 $ 5,059
Finished products......................................... -- 17,000
------- -------
$13,538 $22,059
======= =======

During the year ended September 30, 1998, management completed a thorough
review of all its components inventory. As a result of this review the Company
identified and wrote off approximately $287,000 of parts and components
inventory acquired in the course of developing older equipment now considered to
be obsolete. This includes approximately $175,000 of components and parts
acquired in the course of developing the Company's older equipment, which was
deemed unusable in the Company's newer models that incorporate advanced
microwave technology, and $112,000 of replacement parts inventory for older
equipment sold in prior years by the Company which was determined to have no
appreciable market value because of absence of demand. The write off of $175,000
is included in research and development expenses and the write off of $112,000
is included in operating expenses. During the years ended September 30, 2000 and
1999 additional write-offs of $17,000 and $20,000, respectively, were recognized
through a charge to operating expenses.

4. NOTES PAYABLE -- OTHER

Notes payable -- other consists of a term note without interest and payable
on demand.

5. INCOME TAXES

A reconciliation of the Company's statutory tax rate to the effective rate
for the years ended September 30 is as follows:

2000 1999 1998
----- ----- -----

Federal statutory rate................................. 34.0% 34.0% 34.0%
State taxes, net of federal tax benefit................ 4.6 4.6 4.6
Valuation allowance.................................... (38.6) (38.6) (38.6)
----- ----- -----
.0% .0% .0%
===== ===== =====

As of September 30, 2000, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $24 million for federal income tax purposes that are available
to offset future taxable income through the year 2020.

The components of the Company's deferred tax asset for the years ended
September 30 is as follows:

2000 1999
----------- -----------

Net operating loss carryforwards................... $ 9,215,000 $ 7,893,000
Valuation allowance................................ (9,215,000) (7,893,000)
----------- -----------
$ -- $ --
=========== ===========

F-10

CELSION CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

The evaluation of the realizability of such deferred tax assets in future
periods is made based upon a variety of factors for generating future taxable
income, such as intent and ability to sell assets and historical and projected
operating performance. At this time, the Company has established a valuation
reserve for all of its deferred tax assets. Such tax assets are available to be
recognized and benefit future periods.

6. RETIREMENT PLAN

The Company provides a SAR-SEP savings plan to which eligible employees may
make pretax payroll contributions up to 15% of compensation. The Company does
not make contributions to the plan.

7. PREFERRED STOCK

During the year ended September 30, 2000 the Company issued 4,852.5 shares
of Series A 10% convertible preferred stock. Holders of shares of preferred
stock are entitled to receive when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of
Directors, dividends at the annual rate of 10% per share payable semi-annually
on March 31 and September 30. Such dividends are payable in shares and
fractional shares of preferred stock, valued for this purpose at the rate of
$1,000 per share.

The shares of preferred stock are subject to exchange and conversion
provisions based on certain capital raising initiatives of the Company whereby
holders may exchange preferred shares for common shares at various conversion
rates. If the holder does not exercise these exchange on conversion provisions,
the Company will redeem the shares at a redemption price of 105% of par value of
the shares. If certain capital raising initiatives of the Company do not occur
within 12 months of the close of the preferred stock offering, the shares may be
converted into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of
$0.41 per share of common stock. The Company may call all or any portion of the
outstanding shares of preferred stock as a redemption price equal to 105% of the
par value of such share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.

8. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

The Company has issued stock options to employees, directors, vendors and
debt holders. Options are granted at market value at the date of the grant and
are generally exercisable immediately.

A summary of the Company's stock option activity and related information
for the years ended September 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998 is as follows:

In connection with the issuance of the Series A 10% convertible preferred
stock, the Company issued 728 warrants to purchase preferred stock at $1,100 per
share. These warrants expire January 31, 2005.

Additionally, certain agreements with stockholders have antidilutive
provisions which require that additional shares and options be issued under
certain circumstances.

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(SFAS No. 123), but applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and
related interpretations. No compensation expense related to the granting of
stock options was recorded during the three years ended September 30, 1999. The
fair value of these equity awards was estimated at the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions for 1999, 1998 and 1997: risk-free interest rate of 6.54%, 5.16% and
5.75% for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively; expected volatility of 50%;
expected option life of 3 to 5 years from vesting and an expected dividend yield
of 0.0%. If the Company had elected to recognize cost based on the fair value at
the grant dates consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net loss
and loss per share would have been changed to the pro forma amounts as follows:

9. LICENSE AGREEMENTS AND PROPRIETARY RISKS

The Company owns no patents. Through the Company's license agreements with
Massachusetts Institute of Technology ("MIT") and MMTC, Inc., the Company has
exclusive rights within defined fields of use to seven U.S. patents. Four of the
patents relate to thermotherapy for cancer, including adaptive phased array
("APA") technology and three relate to the treatment of BPH.

The term of the Company's exclusive rights under the MIT license agreements
expires ten years after the first commercial sale of a product using the
licensed technology or October 24, 2009, whichever occurs first, but the
Company's rights continue on a non-exclusive basis for the life of the MIT
patents. The Company's exclusive rights under the MIT license agreement relate
to use of the technology in conjunction with

F-12
61
CELSION CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

(i) application of heat to breast tumor conditions, (ii) the application of heat
to prostate conditions, and (iii) all other medical uses. MIT has retained
certain rights in the licensed technology for non-commercial research purposes.

The Company's exclusive rights under the MMTC license agreements extend for
the life of MMTC's patents. The patent terms expire at various times from May
2011 to November 2014.

The Company's rights under the license agreement with Duke University
extend for the longer of 20 years or the end of any term for which any relevant
patents are issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. For portions of the
technology, the Company's rights are world wide, and the various patent rights,
the license covers the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France,
Germany and Japan and other countries in which Celsion desires to seek patent
protection.

The Company's rights under its license agreement with Sloan-Kettering will
terminate at the later of 20 years after the date of the license agreement or
the last expiration date of any patent rights covered by the agreement.

The MIT, MMTC, Duke University and Sloan-Kettering license agreements each
contain license fee, royalty and/or research support provisions, testing and
regulatory milestones, and other performance requirements which the company must
meet by certain deadlines with respect to the use of the licensed technologies.
In conjunction with the patent holders, the Company intends to file
international applications for certain of the U.S. patents.

Certificate of Incorporation provides that we shall indemnify our current and
former directors and officers, and may indemnify our current and former
employees and agents, against any and all liabilities and expenses incurred in
connection with their services in those capacities to the maximum extent
permitted by Delaware law.

The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides that a Delaware
corporation has the power generally to indemnify its current and former
directors, officers, employees and other agents (each, a "Corporate Agent")
against expenses and liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement) in
connection with any proceeding involving such person by reason of his being a
Corporate Agent, other than a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation,
if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to
any criminal proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful.

In the case of an action brought by or in the right of the corporation,
indemnification of a Corporate Agent is permitted if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation. However, no indemnification is permitted in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the
court in which such proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that
despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to such indemnification.

To the extent that a Corporate Agent has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in the defense of such proceeding, whether or not by or in the right
of the corporation, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the
corporation is required to indemnify such person for expenses in connection
therewith. Under the DGCL, the corporation may advance expenses incurred by a
Corporate Agent in connection with a proceeding, provided that the Corporate
Agent undertakes to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that
such person is not entitled to indemnification. Our Certificate of Incorporation
requires us to advance expenses to any person entitled to indemnification,
provided that such person undertakes to repay the advancement if it is
determined in a final judicial decision from which there is no appeal that such
person is not entitled to indemnification.

II-1
65

The power to indemnify and advance the expenses under the DGCL does not
exclude other rights to which a Corporate Agent may be entitled to under the
Certificate of Incorporation, by laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise.

Our Certificate of Incorporation permits us to secure insurance on behalf
of our directors, officers, employees and agents for any expense, liability or
loss incurred in such capacities, regardless of whether the Certificate of
Incorporation or Delaware law would permit indemnification against such expense,
liability or loss.

The purpose of these provisions is to assist us in retaining qualified
individuals to serve as our directors, officers, employees and agents by
limiting their exposure to personal liability for serving as such.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

(a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
(4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
