Delcath Systems Inc. Notes to Financial Statements Note 1: Description of Business Delcath Systems, Inc. (the "Company") is a development stage company which was founded in 1988 for the purpose of developing and marketing a proprietary drug delivery system capable of introducing, and removing, high dose chemotherapy agents to a diseased organ system while greatly inhibiting their entry into the general circulation system. In November 1989, the Company was granted an Investigational Device Exemption ("IDE") and an Investigational New Drug ("IND") status for its product by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). Note 2: Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company's annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The interim financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2000, which are contained in the Company's Form 10-KSB as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2001. Note 3: Capital Stock The common stock and per share data for all periods gives effect to reverse stock splits of 1 for 2.2881 shares on September 28, 2000 and 1 for 1.2666 shares on October 11, 2000, resulting in an aggregate reverse split of approximately 1 for 2.8981 shares. ITEM 2. PLAN OF OPERATION OVERVIEW The Company was founded in 1988 by a team of physicians. Since our inception, we have been a development stage company engaged primarily in developing and testing the Delcath system for the treatment of liver cancer. A substantial portion of our historical expenses have been in support of the development and the clinical trials of our product. Until our initial public offering, we had been dependent upon venture capital financing to fund our activities. Without an FDA pre-marketing approved product, we have generated minimal revenues from product sales. We have been unprofitable to date and have had losses of $572,581 and $960,185 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 and $406,209 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Cumulative losses from inception through March 31, 2001 were $12,678,356. Losses have continued through the date of this report. We expect to incur additional losses over the next three years and anticipate these losses will increase significantly in this period due to continued requirements for product development, clinical studies, regulatory activities, manufacturing and establishment of a sales and marketing organization. The amount of future net losses and time required to reach profitability are uncertain. Our ability to generate significant revenue and become profitable will depend on our success in commercializing our device. Development of the Company's platform technology for isolated perfusion began in 1988 and has progressed through Phase I and II human clinical trials using doxorubicin to treat cancers in the liver. In December 1999, the Company received approval from the FDA to conduct Phase III clinical trials using doxorubicin to treat 6

certain cancers in the liver. The Company is now contacting physicians at medical centers who have expressed interest in participating in these clinical trials. While there can be no assurance regarding the start of these trials, the Company anticipates the physicians will be ready to start recruiting patients in the second quarter of 2001. The Company continues to expend substantial resources on the testing of its initial product for isolated perfusion of the liver. These expenditures are expected to rise substantially now that the Company has completed its initial public offering and received FDA approval to proceed with Phase III human clinical trials using doxorubicin for the treatment of malignant melanoma that has spread to the liver. The Phase III trials will seek to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the Delcath system for this use. There can be no assurance that the trials will be completed or that the FDA will approve marketing of the Company's product once they are complete. Sale of medical devices in the United States requires approval by the FDA, which is contingent upon the results of the Phase III human clinical trials. Sale of medical devices outside of the United States is controlled by local regulations and the FDA regulates export of the devices from the United States. The Company will also continue to expend resources on other projects, including research and development stage clinical trials for other chemotherapy agents. If additional funds are raised, other projects may be started as well. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This report contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that can cause actual results to differ materially from those described. Factors that may cause such differences include but are not limited to, uncertainties relating to our ability to successfully complete Phase III clinical trials and secure regulatory approval of any of our current or future drug-delivery systems, uncertainties regarding our ability to obtain financial and other resources for our research, development and commercial activities. These factors, and others, are discussed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they are made. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Until completion of its initial public offering, the Company financed its operations primarily through private placements of our common and preferred stock. Prior to the completion of the initial public offering, the Company raised $9,816,686 through the private sale of shares of its Class A Preferred Stock, Class B Preferred Stock and Common Stock. In August and September 2000, the Company also borrowed $230,000 for which it issued $230,000 principal amount of promissory notes, which bear interest at an annual rate of 22% and are due on May 27, 2001. Of these notes, $50,000 in principal amount was subscribed to by M.S. Koly, Chief Executive Officer, President and Director of the Company, and $40,000 principal amount was subscribed to by the mother of Samuel Herschkowitz, M.D., our Chairman of the Board and Chief Technology Officer. The Company expects to pay approximately $267,400 (including interest) to the holders of these notes in May 2001. In October 2000, the Company completed an initial public offering. We sold 1,200,000 units for $6.00 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of our Common Stock and one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of our Common Stock for $6.60 per share until October 18, 2005. The Company received $7.2 million before offering costs and before paying cash dividends on preferred shares of approximately $499,535. After underwriting discounts and cash expenses of the offering, the net proceeds to us were approximately $5.4 million. 7

Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $4,865,432 on March 31, 2001, a decrease of $938,145 from December 31, 2000. Over the next 12 months, the Company expects to continue to incur expenses related to the research and development of our technology, including Phase III clinical trials using doxorubicin with the Delcath system and pre-clinical and clinical trials for the use of other chemotherapy agents with the Delcath System for the treatment of cancers in the liver. We expect to begin doxorubicin trials during the second quarter of 2001. These trials are expected to take 12 to 18 months to complete. The collation, analysis and submission of the results of the trials to the FDA will take an additional three months and we estimate that the FDA will respond to our submission within three months. We expect to incur significant additional operating losses over each of the next several years and expect cumulative losses to increase significantly as we continue to expand our research and development, clinical trials and marketing efforts. During the next 12 months, we expect to purchase approximately $50,000 in computer, laboratory and testing equipment. We also expect to hire approximately two additional employees in the areas of research and development, regulatory and clinical management, marketing and administrative functions at an estimated annual expense of $235,000. The number and timing of such hiring will vary depending upon the success of the international marketing efforts and progress of the clinical trials. The Company anticipates that the net proceeds of our initial public offering, together with our other available funds, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for working capital and capital expenditures through at least the next 12 months. These operating expenses are expected to be at significantly higher levels than past periods primarily in order to support and monitor the envisioned Phase III clinical trials. Our future liquidity and capital requirements, however, will depend on numerous factors, including: the progress of our research and product development programs, including clinical studies; the timing and costs of various United States and foreign regulatory filings; the timing and effectiveness of product commercialization activities, including marketing arrangements overseas; the timing and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, if ever, and complying with regulatory requirements; the timing and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing intellectual property rights; and the effect of competing technological and market developments. If the proceeds of the initial public offering, together with our currently available funds, are not sufficient to satisfy our spending plans, we will be required to revise our capital requirements or to seek additional funding through borrowings and/or additional sales of securities. We cannot assure you that our available funds will be sufficient to fund our clinical trials with respect to the use of the Delcath system with doxorubicin to treat liver cancer. We also cannot assure you that additional financing will become available if needed. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds. (a) - (c) Not applicable. (d) The effective date of our first registration statement, filed on Form SB-2 under the Securities Act of 1933 (no. 333-39470) relating to our initial public offering of our Common Stock, was October 19, 2000. A total of 1,200,000 units were sold for $6.00 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of our Common Stock and one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of our Common Stock for $6.60 per share until October 18, 2005. The initial public offering generated gross proceeds to the Company of $7.2 million, of which $720,000 was deducted for the underwriting discount. Cash expenses relating to the offering, including the discount and non-accountable expense reimbursement to the underwriter, totaled approximately $1.8 million. Net proceeds to 8

Delcath were approximately $5.4 million. The cash expenses related to the underwriting were $350,000 higher than expected, resulting in the actual net proceeds to Delcath being $350,000 lower than estimated in the registration statement. The Company has adjusted the use of proceeds to reflect the change in net proceeds. We expect to use the net proceeds as follows: Approximate dollar amount ------------- Research and development: Phase III clinical trials using the Delcath system with doxorubicin $ 3,750,000 Research and development stage clinical trials for other chemotherapy agents $ 425,000 Repayment of indebtedness $ 270,000 Working capital and general corporate purposes $ 955,000 ------------- Total $ 5,400,000 ============= From the time of receipt through March 31, 2001, approximately $790,000 of the net proceeds were expended as shown in the table below. The remaining net proceeds are being held in temporary investments in short-term commercial paper. Actual through March 31, 2001 -------------- Research and development: Phase III clinical trials using the Delcath system with doxorubicin $ 575,000 Research and development stage clinical trials for other chemotherapy agents $ 15,000 Repayment of indebtedness -- Working capital and general corporate purposes $ 200,000 ------------- Total $ 790,000 ============= PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
