                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

THIS  SUMMARY  IS  QUALIFIED  BY  THE  MORE  DETAILED  INFORMATION   APPEARING
ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS.

CEL-SCI

      CEL-SCI Corporation was formed as a Colorado corporation in 1983. CEL-SCI
is involved in the research and development of certain drugs and vaccines.
CEL-SCI manufactures MULTIKINE(R), its first, and main product, using CEL-SCI's
proprietary cell culture technologies. CEL-SCI is testing MULTIKINE to determine
if it is effective in creating an anti-cancer immune response in head and neck
cancer patients.

      CEL-SCI also owns a pre-clinical technology called L.E.A.P.S. (Ligand
Epitope Antigen Presentation System). The lead product derived from this
technology is the CEL-1000 peptide which has shown protection in animals against
herpes, malaria and cancer. With the help of government grants and US Army and
US Navy collaborations, CEL-1000 is now being tested against viral encephalitis,
West Nile Virus, SARS, Vaccinia, Smallpox, herpes, malaria and other agents. If
the bio-terrorism tests are successful, CEL-SCI is likely to push CEL-1000 for
potential bio-terrorism disease indications to gain accelerated approval.

      Before human testing can begin with respect to a drug or biological
product, preclinical studies are conducted in laboratory animals to evaluate the
potential efficacy and the safety of a product. Human clinical studies generally
involve a three-phase process. The initial clinical evaluation, Phase I,
consists of administering the product and testing for safe and tolerable dosage
levels. Phase II trials continue the evaluation of safety and determine the
appropriate dosage for the product, identify possible side effects and risks in
a larger group of subjects, and provide preliminary indications of efficacy.
Phase III trials consist of testing for actual clinical efficacy within an
expanded group of patients at geographically dispersed test sites.

      CEL-SCI has funded the costs associated with the clinical trials relating
to CEL-SCI's technologies, research expenditures and CEL-SCI's administrative
expenses with the public and private sales of shares of CEL-SCI's common stock
and borrowings from third parties, including affiliates of CEL-SCI.

      All of CEL-SCI's products are in the development stage. As of January 10,
2005, CEL-SCI was not receiving any revenues from the sale of MULTIKINE or any
other products which CEL-SCI was developing.

      CEL-SCI does not expect to develop commercial products for several years,
if at all. CEL-SCI has had operating losses since its inception, had an
accumulated deficit of approximately $(90,750,000) at September 30, 2004 and
expects to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future.

THE OFFERING

Securities Offered:

      By means of this prospectus SDS Merchant Fund is offering to sell up to
550,000 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock issuable upon the exercise of CEL-SCI's
Series H warrants. CEL-SCI refers to SDS Merchant Fund as the selling
shareholder in this prospectus.

Common Stock Outstanding:   As of January  10, 2005  CEL-SCI  had  outstanding
                            72,269,231  shares of common stock.  The number of
                            outstanding  shares does not give effect to shares
                            which may be issued  upon the  exercise of options
                            or  warrants  held by SDS  Merchant  Fund or other
                            persons.  If all outstanding  options and warrants
                            were  exercised   CEL-SCI  would  have  86,219,765
                            outstanding    shares   of   common   stock.   See
                            "Comparative Share Data".

Risk Factors:               The  purchase  of the  securities  offered by this
                            prospectus  involves a high  degree of risk.  Risk
                            factors  include the lack of revenues  and history
                            of loss, need for additional  capital and need for
                            FDA approval.  See the "Risk  Factors"  section of
                            this prospectus for additional Risk Factors.

                                  RISK FACTORS

      Investors should be aware that this offering involves the risks described
below, which could adversely affect the price of CEL-SCI's common stock. In
addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, the following
factors should be considered carefully in evaluating an investment in the shares
offered by this prospectus.

RISKS RELATED TO CEL-SCI

Since CEL-SCI Has Earned Only Limited Revenues and Has a History of Losses,
CEL-SCI Will Require Additional Capital to Remain in Operation.

     CEL-SCI has had only limited  revenues  since it was formed in 1983.  Since
the date of its  formation and through  September 30, 2004 CEL-SCI  incurred net
losses of  approximately  $(90,750,000).  During the years ended  September  30,
2002, 2003 and 2004 CEL-SCI  suffered losses of  $(8,342,244),  $(6,371,498) and
$(4,199,722)  respectively.  CEL-SCI has relied principally upon the proceeds of


                                       4


public and private  sales of  securities  and  convertible  notes to finance its
activities to date. All of CEL-SCI's  potential products are in the early stages
of  development,  and any  commercial  sale of these products will be many years
away.  Accordingly,   CEL-SCI  expects  to  incur  substantial  losses  for  the
foreseeable future.

Since CEL-SCI does not intend to pay dividends on its common stock, any return
to investors will come only from potential increases in the price of CEL-SCI's
common stock.

      At the present time, CEL-SCI intends to use available funds to finance
CEL-SCI's operations. Accordingly, while payment of dividends rests within the
discretion of the Board of Directors, no common stock dividends have been
declared or paid by CEL-SCI and CEL-SCI has no intention of paying any common
stock dividends.

If CEL-SCI cannot obtain additional capital, CEL-SCI may have to postpone
development and research expenditures which will delay CEL-SCI's ability to
produce a competitive product. Delays of this nature may depress the price of
CEL-SCI's common stock.

      Clinical and other studies necessary to obtain approval of a new drug can
be time consuming and costly, especially in the United States, but also in
foreign countries. CEL-SCI's estimates of the costs associated with future
clinical trials and research may be substantially lower than the actual costs of
these activities. The different steps necessary to obtain regulatory approval,
especially that of the Food and Drug Administration, involve significant costs
and may require several years to complete. CEL-SCI expects that it will need
substantial additional financing over an extended period of time in order to
fund the costs of future clinical trials, related research, and general and
administrative expenses. Although CEL-SCI's equity line of credit agreement is
expected to be a source of funding, the amounts which CEL-SCI is able to draw
from the equity line during each drawdown period are limited and may not satisfy
CEL-SCI's capital needs.

      The extent of CEL-SCI's clinical trials and research programs are
primarily based upon the amount of capital available to CEL-SCI and the extent
to which CEL-SCI has received regulatory approvals for clinical trials. CEL-SCI
is unable to estimate the future costs of clinical trials since CEL-SCI has not
yet met with the FDA to discuss the design of future clinical trials; and until
the scope of future clinical trials is known, CEL-SCI will not be able to price
any trials with clinical trial organizations.

      Over the past three years CEL-SCI's research and development expenditures
have decreased, due in part to the capital available to CEL-SCI. The inability
of CEL-SCI to conduct clinical trials or research, whether due to a lack of
capital or regulatory approval, will prevent CEL-SCI from completing the studies
and research required to obtain regulatory approval for any products which
CEL-SCI is developing.

     To raise  additional  capital  CEL-SCI  will most likely sell shares of its
common stock or securities  convertible  into common stock at prices that may be
below the prevailing market price of CEL-SCI's common stock at the time of sale.
The  issuance  of  additional  shares  will  have a  dilutive  impact  on  other
stockholders  and could have a negative  effect on the market price of CEL-SCI's


                                       5


common stock. Since April 2001 CEL-SCI has sold approximately  34,000,000 shares
of its common stock to private  investors at prices that were between 7% and 30%
below the market price of CEL-SCI's common stock at the time of sale.

      Any failure to obtain or any delay in obtaining required regulatory
approvals may adversely affect the ability of CEL-SCI or potential licensees to
successfully market any products they may develop.

MULTIKINE is made from components of human blood which involves inherent risks
that may lead to product destruction or patient injury which could materially
harm CEL-SCI's financial results, reputation and stock price.

      MULTIKINE is made, in part, from components of human blood. There are
inherent risks associated with products that involve human blood such as
possible contamination with viruses, including Hepatitis or HIV. Any possible
contamination could require CEL-SCI to destroy batches of MULTIKINE or cause
injuries to patients who receive the product thereby subjecting CEL-SCI to
possible financial losses and harm to its business.

Although CEL-SCI has product liability insurance for MULTIKINE, the successful
prosecution of a product liability case against CEL-SCI could have a materially
adverse effect upon its business if the amount of any judgment exceeds CEL-SCI's
insurance coverage.

      Although no claims have been brought to date, participants in CEL-SCI's
clinical trials could bring civil actions against CEL-SCI for any unanticipated
harmful effects arising from the use of MULTIKINE or any drug or product that
CEL-SCI may try to develop. Although CEL-SCI believes its insurance coverage of
$2,000,000 per claim is adequate, the defense or settlement of any product
liability claim could adversely affect CEL-SCI even if the defense and
settlement costs did not exceed CEL-SCI's insurance coverage.

CEL-SCI's directors are allowed to issue shares of preferred stock with
provisions that could be detrimental to the interests of the holders of
CEL-SCI's common stock.

      The provisions in CEL-SCI's Articles of Incorporation relating to
CEL-SCI's Preferred Stock would allow CEL-SCI's directors to issue Preferred
Stock with rights to multiple votes per share and dividend rights which would
have priority over any dividends paid with respect to CEL-SCI's Common Stock.
The issuance of Preferred Stock with such rights may make more difficult the
removal of management even if such removal would be considered beneficial to
shareholders generally, and will have the effect of limiting shareholder
participation in certain transactions such as mergers or tender offers if such
transactions are not favored by incumbent management.


                                       6



RISKS RELATED TO GOVERNMENT APPROVALS

CEL-SCI's product candidates must undergo rigorous preclinical and clinical
testing and regulatory approvals, which could be costly and time-consuming and
subject CEL-SCI to unanticipated delays or prevent CEL-SCI from marketing any
products.

      Therapeutic agents, drugs and diagnostic products are subject to approval,
prior to general marketing, by the FDA in the United States and by comparable
agencies in most foreign countries. Before obtaining marketing approval,
CEL-SCI's product candidates must undergo rigorous preclinical and clinical
testing which is costly and time consuming and subject to unanticipated delays.
There can be no assurance that such approvals will be granted.

     CEL-SCI  cannot be certain when or under what  conditions it will undertake
further  clinical  trials,  including  a Phase III program  for  MULTIKINE.  The
clinical  trials  of  CEL-SCI's  product  candidates  may  not be  completed  on
schedule,  and the FDA or foreign regulatory  agencies may order CEL-SCI to stop
or modify its  research  or these  agencies  may not  ultimately  approve any of
CEL-SCI's product candidates for commercial sale. Varying interpretations of the
data  obtained from  pre-clinical  and clinical  testing  could delay,  limit or
prevent regulatory approval of CEL-SCI's product candidates.  The data collected
from  CEL-SCI's  clinical  trials may not be  sufficient  to support  regulatory
approval of its various product candidates,  including  MULTIKINE.  For example,
MULTIKINE  is now being made by a process  that was  different  from the process
tested in many of CEL-SCI's  clinical  studies to date.  It is possible that the
FDA will require CEL-SCI to conduct  additional  studies to demonstrate that the
MULTIKINE  that it plans to use for its  Phase  III  program  is the same as the
product  previously  tested  in  CEL-SCI's  phase II  studies.  Even if  CEL-SCI
believes the data collected from its clinical trials are sufficient, the FDA has
substantial  discretion in the approval  process and may disagree with CEL-SCI's
interpretation  of the  data.  In this  regard,  the FDA is  aware  of  Phase II
clinical  study  results  from US and  Canadian  studies,  but not results  from
foreign  trials.  The foreign data comprises  approximately  75% of the subjects
participating in CEL-SCI's Phase II program. CEL-SCI can make no assurances that
the FDA will accept the data from its foreign  studies or that the agency  would
not require CEL-SCI to conduct more Phase II studies before  beginning Phase III
trials.  CEL-SCI's failure to adequately  demonstrate the safety and efficacy of
any of its product candidates would delay or prevent regulatory  approval of its
product candidates, which could prevent CEL-SCI from achieving profitability.

     The requirements  governing the conduct of clinical trials,  manufacturing,
and marketing of CEL-SCI's product candidates,  including MULTIKINE, outside the
United  States vary widely from country to country.  Foreign  approvals may take
longer to  obtain  than FDA  approvals  and can  require,  among  other  things,
additional  testing and different  trial designs.  Foreign  regulatory  approval
processes  include all of the risks associated with the FDA approval  processes.
Some of those  agencies  also must approve  prices for  products.  Approval of a
product by the FDA does not ensure  approval  of the same  product by the health
authorities of other countries. In addition, changes in regulatory policy in the
US or in foreign  countries  for product  approval  during the period of product
development  and regulatory  agency review of each submitted new application may
cause delays or rejections.


                                       7


      In addition to conducting further clinical studies of MULTIKINE and
CEL-SCI's other product candidates, CEL-SCI also must undertake the development
of its manufacturing process and optimize its product formulations. CEL-SCI is
continuing, for example, to develop MULTIKINE to decrease or further
characterize the amount of DNA in MULTIKINE and to develop ways of better
measuring the amount of DNA in the product. CEL-SCI can make no assurances that
it will succeed in decreasing the amount of DNA in MULTIKINE to a level that is
acceptable for product approval or that it can develop a method of measuring the
amount of DNA that the FDA accepts as suitable for approving the marketing of
the product.

      CEL-SCI has only limited experience in filing and pursuing applications
necessary to gain regulatory approvals, which may impede its ability to obtain
timely approvals from the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies, if at all. CEL-SCI
will not be able to commercialize MULTIKINE and other product candidates until
it has obtained regulatory approval, and any delay in obtaining, or inability to
obtain, regulatory approval could harm its business. In addition, regulatory
authorities may also limit the types of patients to which CEL-SCI or others may
market MULTIKINE or CEL-SCI's other products.

Even if CEL-SCI obtains regulatory approval for its product candidates, CEL-SCI
will be subject to stringent, ongoing government regulation.

      Even if CEL-SCI's products receive regulatory approval, either in the
United States or internationally, it will continue to be subject to extensive
regulatory requirements. These regulations are wide-ranging and govern, among
other things:

o    product design, development, manufacture and testing;
o    adverse drug experience and other reporting regulations;
o    product advertising and promotion;
o    product manufacturing, including good manufacturing practice requirements;
o    record keeping requirements;
o    registration  of CEL-SCI's  establishments  with the FDA and certain  state
     agencies
o    product storage and shipping;
o    drug sampling and distribution requirements;
o    electronic record and signature requirements; and
o    labeling changes or modifications.

     CEL-SCI and any  third-party  manufacturers  or suppliers must  continually
adhere to federal regulations setting forth requirements,  known as current Good
Manufacturing  Practices,  or cGMPs,  and their foreign  equivalents,  which are
enforced  by  the  FDA  and  other  national  regulatory  bodies  through  their
facilities inspection programs.  If CEL-SCI's  facilities,  or the facilities of
its manufacturers or suppliers, cannot pass a pre-approval plant inspection, the
FDA will not approve the marketing  application of CEL-SCI's product candidates.
In complying with cGMP and foreign regulatory  requirements,  CEL-SCI and any of
its potential third-party manufacturers or suppliers will be obligated to expend
time,  money and effort in  production,  record-keeping  and quality  control to


                                       8


ensure that its products meet applicable  specifications and other requirements.
State  regulatory  agencies and the regulatory  agencies of other countries have
similar requirements.

      CEL-SCI entered into an agreement with Cambrex Bio Science, Inc. whereby
Cambrex agreed to provide CEL-SCI with a facility for the periodic manufacturing
of MULTIKINE in accordance with the cGMPs established by FDA regulations. This
agreement expires on December 31, 2006. If the Cambrex facility were not
available for the production of MULTIKINE, CEL-SCI estimates that it would take
approximately six to ten months to find or build an alternative manufacturing
facility for MULTIKINE. CEL-SCI does not know what cost it would incur to obtain
an alternative source of MULTIKINE.

      If CEL-SCI does not comply with regulatory requirements at any stage,
whether before or after marketing approval is obtained, it may be subject to
criminal prosecution, seizure, injuction, fines, or be forced to remove a
product from the market or experience other adverse consequences, including
restrictions or delays in obtaining regulatory marketing approval, which could
materially harm CEL-SCI's financial results, reputation and stock price.
Additionally, CEL-SCI may not be able to obtain the labeling claims necessary or
desirable for product promotion. CEL-SCI may also be required to undertake
post-marketing trials. In addition, if CEL-SCI or other parties identify adverse
effects after any of CEL-SCI's products are on the market, or if manufacturing
problems occur, regulatory approval may be withdrawn and CEL-SCI may be required
to reformulate its products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes in
its product's labeling or indications of use, or submit additional marketing
applications to support these changes. If CEL-SCI encounters any of the
foregoing problems, its business and results of operations will be harmed and
the market price of our common stock may decline.

      Also, the extent of adverse government regulations which might arise from
future legislative or administrative action cannot be predicted. Without
government approval, CEL-SCI will be unable to sell any of its products.

RISKS RELATED TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

CEL-SCI may not be able to achieve or maintain a competitive position and other
technological developments may result in CEL-SCI's proprietary technologies
becoming uneconomical or obsolete.

      The biomedical field in which CEL-SCI is involved is undergoing rapid and
significant technological change. The successful development of therapeutic
agents from CEL-SCI's compounds, compositions and processes through
CEL-SCI-financed research, or as a result of possible licensing arrangements
with pharmaceutical or other companies, will depend on its ability to be in the
technological forefront of this field.

     Many pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are developing products for
the prevention or treatment of cancer and infectious diseases including Introgen
Therapeutics,  Inc. and ImClone  Systems,  Inc.  which are currently  developing
drugs for head and neck cancer. Both Introgen and ImClone, as well as many other
companies  working on drugs  designed to  prevent,  cure or treat  cancer,  have
substantial financial, research and development, and marketing resources and are
capable of providing  significant  long-term  competition either by establishing


                                       9


in-house  research  groups  or by  forming  collaborative  ventures  with  other
entities. In addition,  smaller companies and non-profit institutions are active
in  research  relating to cancer and  infectious  diseases  and are  expected to
become more active in the future.

CEL-SCI's patents might not protect CEL-SCI's technology from competitors, in
which case CEL-SCI may not have any advantage over competitors in selling any
products which it may develop.

      Certain aspects of CEL-SCI's technologies are covered by U.S. and foreign
patents. In addition, CEL-SCI has a number of patent applications pending. There
is no assurance that the applications still pending or which may be filed in the
future will result in the issuance of any patents. Furthermore, there is no
assurance as to the breadth and degree of protection any issued patents might
afford CEL-SCI. Disputes may arise between CEL-SCI and others as to the scope
and validity of these or other patents. Any defense of the patents could prove
costly and time consuming and there can be no assurance that CEL-SCI will be in
a position, or will deem it advisable, to carry on such a defense. Other private
and public concerns, including universities, may have filed applications for, or
may have been issued, patents and are expected to obtain additional patents and
other proprietary rights to technology potentially useful or necessary to
CEL-SCI. The scope and validity of such patents, if any, the extent to which
CEL-SCI may wish or need to acquire the rights to such patents, and the cost and
availability of such rights are presently unknown. Also, as far as CEL-SCI
relies upon unpatented proprietary technology, there is no assurance that others
may not acquire or independently develop the same or similar technology.
CEL-SCI's first MULTIKINE patent expired in 2000. Since CEL-SCI does not know if
it will ever be able to sell MULTIKINE on a commercial basis, CEL-SCI cannot
predict what effect the expiration of this patent will have on CEL-SCI.
Notwithstanding the above, CEL-SCI believes that trade secrets and later issued
patents will protect the technology associated with MULTIKINE.

RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING

Since the market price for CEL-SCI's common stock is volatile, investors in this
offering may not be able to sell any of CEL-SCI's shares at a profit.

      The market price of CEL-SCI's common stock, as well as the securities of
other biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, have historically been
highly volatile, and the market has from time to time experienced significant
price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of
particular companies. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 CEL-SCI's
stock price has ranged from a low of $0.46 per share to a high of $1.88 per
share. Factors such as fluctuations in CEL-SCI's operating results,
announcements of technological innovations or new therapeutic products by
CEL-SCI or its competitors, governmental regulation, developments in patent or
other proprietary rights, public concern as to the safety of products developed
by CEL-SCI or other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and general
market conditions may have a significant effect on the future market price of
CEL-SCI's common stock.


                                       10


Shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants, or as a result of
sales made in connection with the equity line of credit may substantially
increase the number of shares available for sale in the public market and may
depress the price of CEL-SCI's common stock.

      CEL-SCI has outstanding options and warrants which allow the holders to
acquire up to 13,950,534 additional shares of CEL-SCI's common stock. Until the
options and warrants expire, the holders will have an opportunity to profit from
any increase in the market price of CEL-SCI's common stock without assuming the
risks of ownership. Holders of the options and warrants may exercise or convert
these securities at a time when CEL-SCI could obtain additional capital on terms
more favorable than those provided by the options. The exercise of the options
and warrants will dilute the voting interest of the owners of presently
outstanding shares of CEL-SCI's common stock.

      CEL-SCI has filed registration statements with the Securities and Exchange
Commission so that the 13,950,534 shares of common stock which are issuable upon
the exercise of outstanding options and warrants may be sold in the public
market. The sale of common stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of the
warrants described above, or the perception that such sales could occur, may
adversely affect the market price of CEL-SCI's common stock.

      See the "Comparative Share Data" section of this prospectus for more
information concerning CEL-SCI's outstanding options and warrants.

Equity Line of Credit

      An unknown number of shares of common stock are issuable under an equity
line of credit arrangement to Rubicon Group Ltd. As CEL-SCI sells shares of its
common stock to Rubicon Group under the equity line of credit, and Rubicon Group
sells the common stock to third parties, the price of CEL-SCI's common stock may
decrease due to the additional shares in the market. If CEL-SCI decides to draw
down on the equity line of credit as the price of its common stock decreases,
CEL-SCI will be required to issue more shares of its common stock for any given
dollar amount invested by Rubicon Group, subject to the minimum selling price
specified by CEL-SCI. The more shares that are issued under the equity line of
credit, the more CEL-SCI's then outstanding shares will be diluted and the more
CEL-SCI's stock price may decrease. Any decline in the price of CEL-SCI's common
stock may encourage short sales, which could place further downward pressure on
the price of CEL-SCI's common stock. Short selling is a practice of selling
shares which are not owned by a seller with the expectation that the market
price of the shares will decline in value after the sale.

      As consideration for extending the equity line of credit, CEL-SCI granted
Rubicon Group warrants to purchase 395,726 shares of common stock at any time
prior to September 16, 2008 at a price of $0.83 per share. Rubicon Group is not
obligated to exercise any warrants.

      CEL-SCI has filed a registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission so that the shares purchased by the Rubicon Group may be
resold in the public market.

A.    In January and July 2003, CEL-SCI sold Series H convertible notes, plus
Series H warrants, to a group of private investors for $1,350,000. At the
holder's option the notes were convertible into shares of CEL-SCI's common stock
equal in number to the amount determined by dividing each $1,000 of note
principal to be converted by the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price was 76%
of the average of the 3 lowest daily trading prices of CEL-SCI's common stock on


                                       12


the American Stock Exchange during the 15 trading days immediately prior to the
conversion date.

       As of the date of this prospectus all of the Series H notes had been
converted into 3,233,229 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock and Series H warrants
to purchase 550,000 shares had been exercised.

      The Series H warrants initially allowed the holders to purchase up to
1,100,000 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of $0.25 per share at any
time prior to January 7, 2010.

       Every three months after December 26, 2004 the exercise price of the
Series H warrants will be adjusted to an amount equal to 84% of the average of
the 3 lowest daily trading prices of CEL-SCI's common stock on the American
Stock Exchange during the 15 trading days immediately prior to the three month
adjustment date, provided that the adjusted price is lower than the warrant
exercise price on that date.

B. In August 2003, the Company issued warrants to a private investor. The
warrants permit the holder to purchase 23,758 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock
at a price of $0.77 per share at any time prior to August 17, 2006.

       In July and September 2002, CEL-SCI sold Series G convertible notes, plus
Series G warrants, to a group of private investors for $1,300,000. As of June
30, 2003 all of the Series G notes had been converted into 8,390,746 shares of
CEL-SCI's common stock. As of September 30, 2004 the Series G warrants allowed
the holders to purchase up to 450,000 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a
price of $0.145 per share at any time prior to July 12, 2009. Every three months
after December 9, 2004, the exercise price of the Series G warrants will be
adjusted to an amount equal to 84% of the average of the 3 lowest daily trading
prices of CEL-SCI's common stock on the American Stock Exchange during the 20
trading days immediately prior to the three month adjustment date, provided that
the adjusted price is lower than the warrant exercise price on that date.

      In May 2003 CEL-SCI sold shares of its common stock plus Series I warrants
to a strategic partner, at prices equal to or above the then current price of
CEL-SCI's common stock. The Series I warrants allow the holder to purchase
1,100,000 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of $0.47 per share at any
time prior to May 30, 2008.

      On December 1, 2003, CEL-SCI sold 2,999,964 shares of its common stock, to
a group of private institutional investors for approximately $2,550,000, or
$0.85 per share. As part of this transaction, the investors in the private
offering received Series J warrants which allow the investors to purchase
991,003 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of $1.32 per share at any
time prior to December 1, 2006.

C.    If CEL-SCI sells any additional shares of common stock, or any securities
convertible into common stock at a price below the then applicable exercise
price of the Series G or H warrants, the warrant exercise price will be lowered
to the price at which the shares were sold or the lowest price at which the


                                       13


securities are convertible, as the case may be. If the warrant exercise price is
adjusted, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the
warrant will be increased by the product of the number of shares of common stock
issuable upon the exercise of the warrant immediately prior to the sale
multiplied by the percentage by which the warrant exercise price is reduced.

      If CEL-SCI sells any additional shares of common stock, or any securities
convertible into common stock at a price below the market price of CEL-SCI's
common stock, the exercise price of the Series G or H warrants will be lowered
by a percentage equal to the price at which the shares were sold or the lowest
price at which the securities are convertible, as the case may be, divided by
the then prevailing market price of CEL-SCI's common stock. If the warrant
exercise price is adjusted, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon
the exercise of the warrant will be increased by the product of the number of
shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrant immediately
prior to the sale multiplied by the percentage determined by dividing the price
at which the shares were sold by the market price of CEL-SCI's common stock on
the date of sale.

      However, neither the exercise price of the Series G or H warrants nor the
shares issuable upon the exercise of the Series G or H warrants will be adjusted
as the result of shares issued in connection with a Permitted Financing. A
Permitted Financing involves shares of common stock issued or sold:

o    in connection with a merger or acquisition or a strategic partnership;

o    upon the  exercise of options or the  issuance of common stock to CEL-SCI's
     employees, officers, directors,  consultants and vendors in accordance with
     CEL-SCI's equity incentive policies;

o    pursuant to the conversion or exercise of securities which were outstanding
     prior to July 12, 2002 in the case of the Series G warrants  and January 7,
     2003 in the case of the Series H warrants;

o    to key officers of CEL-SCI in lieu of their respective salaries.

D.    An unknown number of shares of common stock are issuable under the equity
line of credit agreement between CEL-SCI and Rubicon Group Ltd. As consideration
for extending the equity line of credit, CEL-SCI granted Rubicon Group Ltd.
warrants to purchase 395,726 shares of common stock at a price of $0.83 per
share at any time prior to September 16, 2008.

      Under the equity line of credit agreement, Rubicon Group Ltd. has agreed
to provide CEL-SCI with up to $10,000,000 of funding prior to September 16,
2005. During this period, CEL-SCI may request a drawdown under the equity line
of credit by selling shares of its common stock to Rubicon Group Ltd. and
Rubicon Group Ltd. will be obligated to purchase the shares. CEL-SCI may request
a drawdown once every 24 trading days, although CEL-SCI is under no obligation
to request any drawdowns under the equity line of credit.


                                       14


      During the 22 trading days following a drawdown request, CEL-SCI will
calculate the amount of shares it will sell to Rubicon Group Ltd. and the
purchase price per share. The purchase price per share of common stock will be
based on the daily volume weighted average price of CEL-SCI's common stock
during each of the 22 trading days immediately following the drawdown date, less
a discount of 11%.

      CEL-SCI may request a drawdown by faxing a drawdown notice to Rubicon
Group Ltd., stating the amount of the drawdown and the lowest daily volume
weighted average price, if any, at which CEL-SCI is willing to sell the shares.
The lowest volume weighted average price will be set by CEL-SCI's Chief
Executive Officer in his sole and absolute discretion.

      If CEL-SCI sets a minimum price which is too high and CEL-SCI's stock
price does not consistently meet that level during the 22 trading days after its
drawdown request, the amount CEL-SCI can draw and the number of shares CEL-SCI
will sell to Rubicon Group Ltd. will be reduced. On the other hand, if CEL-SCI
sets a minimum price which is too low and its stock price falls significantly
but stays above the minimum price, CEL-SCI will have to issue a greater number
of shares to Rubicon Group Ltd. based on the reduced market price.

      As of January 10, 2005 CEL-SCI had received net proceeds of $335,910 from
the sale of 307,082 shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of the equity
line of credit.

E.    The options are  exercisable  at prices ranging from $0.16 to $11.00 per
share.  CEL-SCI may also grant options to purchase  additional  shares under its
Incentive Stock Option and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans.

F.    CEL-SCI has granted options for the purchase of 150,000 shares of common
stock to certain investor relations consultants in consideration for services
provided to CEL-SCI. The options are exercisable at $1.63 per share and expire
June 1, 2006.

    The shares referred to in Notes B, D and E are being, or will be, offered
for sale by means of registration statements which have been filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

                        MARKET FOR CEL-SCI'S COMMON STOCK

      As of January __, 2005 there were approximately 2,550 record holders of

CEL-SCI does not have any current plans to pay any common stock dividends.

      The provisions in CEL-SCI's Articles of Incorporation relating to
CEL-SCI's Preferred Stock would allow CEL-SCI's directors to issue Preferred
Stock with rights to multiple votes per share and dividend rights which would
have priority over any dividends paid with respect to CEL-SCI's Common Stock.
The issuance of Preferred Stock with such rights may make more difficult the
removal of management even if such removal would be considered beneficial to
shareholders generally, and will have the effect of limiting shareholder
participation in certain transactions such as mergers or tender offers if such
transactions are not favored by incumbent management.

      The market price of CEL-SCI's common stock, as well as the securities of
other biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, have historically been
highly volatile, and the market has from time to time experienced significant
price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of
particular companies. Factors such as fluctuations in CEL-SCI's operating
results, announcements of technological innovations or new therapeutic products
by CEL-SCI or its competitors, governmental regulation, developments in patent
or other proprietary rights, public concern as to the safety of products
developed by CEL-SCI or other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and
general market conditions may have a significant effect on the market price of
CEL-SCI's Common Stock.

OVERVIEW

      CEL-SCI's most advanced product, Multikine(R), manufactured using the
company's proprietary cell culture technologies, is being developed for the
treatment of cancer. Multikine is designed to target the tumor micro-metastises
that are mostly responsible for treatment failure. The basic idea of Multikine
is to make current cancer treatments more successful. The lead indication is
advanced primary head & neck cancer (500,000 new cases per annum). Since
Multikine is not tumor specific, it may also be applicable in many other solid
tumors.

      CEL-SCI also owns a pre-clinical technology called L.E.A.P.S. (Ligand
Epitope Antigen Presentation System). The lead product derived from this
technology is the CEL-1000 peptide which has shown protection in animals against
herpes, malaria and cancer. With the help of government grants and US Army and
US Navy collaborations, CEL-1000 is now being tested against viral encephalitis,
West Nile Virus, SARS, Vaccinia, Smallpox, herpes, malaria and other agents. If
the bio-terrorism tests are successful, CEL-SCI is likely to push CEL-1000 for
potential bio-terrorism disease indications to gain accelerated approval.

      Since its inception, CEL-SCI has financed operations through the issuance
of equity securities, convertible notes, loans and certain research grants.
CEL-SCI's expenses will likely exceed its revenues as it continues the
development of Multikine and brings other drug candidates into clinical trials.
Until such time as CEL-SCI becomes profitable, any or all of these financing
vehicles or others may be utilized to assist CEL-SCI's capital requirements.

Results of Operations

Fiscal 2004

      Grant revenue and other during fiscal year 2004 remained at approximately
the same level as fiscal year 2003 as work continued on the four grants received
during the fiscal year 2003. Interest income also remained approximately at the
same level.

      Research and development expense increased by approximately $26,000 as
CEL-SCI's research and development costs on L.E.A.P.S. increased during fiscal
2004.

      General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $23,000
this year. CEL-SCI's cost reduction program continues. This reduction was
substantially offset by an increase in audit and audit-related fees and an
increase in filing and registration fees.

Fiscal 2003

     Grant revenues and other was lower during the year ended September 30, 2003
due to the winding down of a project for which CEL-SCI received grant money. The
grant for this  project  generated  $110,000  in  revenue  in  fiscal  year 2003
compared  with  $380,000  in revenue in fiscal year 2002.  However,  CEL-SCI has
received  four  additional  grants,  two grants in April 2003,  one grant in May
2003,  and one grant in September  2003 for other  projects on which  CEL-SCI is
working. These grants generated approximately $170,750 in revenue in fiscal year
2003.  Research and development  expenses declined because CEL-SCI completed its


                                       18


current   production  of  Multikine   during  fiscal  year  2002.   General  and
administrative  expenses  were higher  during the year ended  September 30, 2003
since  there was a reversal  in 2002 of a 2001  fiscal  year  charge of $593,472
resulting  from a decline in the  intrinsic  value of the  options  repriced  to
employees.  Interest  income  during the year ended  September 30, 2003 was less
than it was during the same periods in fiscal year 2002 as a result of CEL-SCI's
smaller cash position and lower  interest  rates on interest  bearing  accounts.
During  the years  ended  September  30,  2003 and 2002,  interest  expense  was
$2,340,667  and  $2,131,750,  respectively.  Interest  expense  for all  periods
presented  is  primarily a non-cash  item  incurred to account for  interest and
amortization   of  the  discounts  and  deferred   financing  costs  related  to
convertible  debt,  the note  payable  to Covance  AG and the  convertible  debt
payable to Cambrex Biosciences, Inc.

Research and Development Expenses

    During the five years ended September 30, 2004 CEL-SCI's research and
development efforts involved Multikine, L.E.A.P.S. and an AIDS vaccine. The
table below shows the research and development expenses associated with each
project during this five-year period.

               ==========   ==========  ==========   ==========     ==========

      CEL-SCI believes that it has compiled sufficient data and clinical
information to justify a Phase III clinical trial which would be designed to
prove the clinical benefit from Multikine as an addition to established
anti-cancer therapies. It is CEL-SCI's intention to meet with the FDA in early
2005 to discuss such a trial. CEL-SCI is unable to estimate the future costs of
research and clinical trials involving Multikine since CEL-SCI has not yet met
with the FDA to discuss the design of future clinical trials and until the scope
of these trials is known, CEL-SCI will not be able to price any future trials.

      As explained in Item 1 of this report, as of November 15, 2004 CEL-SCI was
involved in a number of pre-clinical studies with respect to its L.E.A.P.S.
technology. As with Multikine, CEL-SCI does not know what obstacles it will
encounter in future pre-clinical and clinical studies involving its L.E.A.P.S.
technology. Consequently, CEL-SCI cannot predict with any certainty the funds
required for future research and clinical trials and the timing of future
research and development projects.

      CEL-SCI discontinued its research efforts relating to the AIDS vaccine due
to a lack of government funding in 2000.

     Clinical and other studies necessary to obtain regulatory approval of a new
drug involve significant costs and require several years to complete. The extent


                                       19


of CEL-SCI's  clinical trials and research programs are primarily based upon the
amount of capital  available  to CEL-SCI  and the  extent to which  CEL-SCI  has
received  regulatory  approvals for clinical trials. The inability of CEL-SCI to
conduct  clinical  trials  or  research,  whether  due to a lack of  capital  or
regulatory  approval,  will  prevent  CEL-SCI  from  completing  the studies and
research required to obtain  regulatory  approval for any products which CEL-SCI
is developing.  Without regulatory approval,  CEL-SCI will be unable to sell any
of its products.

      Since all of CEL-SCI's projects are under development, CEL-SCI cannot
predict when it will be able to generate any revenue from the sale of any of its
products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      CEL-SCI has had only limited revenues from operations since its inception
in March l983. CEL-SCI has relied primarily upon proceeds realized from the
public and private sale of its common and preferred stock and convertible notes
to meet its funding requirements. Funds raised by CEL-SCI have been expended
primarily in connection with the acquisition of an exclusive worldwide license
to certain patented and unpatented proprietary technology and know-how relating
to the human immunological defense system, patent applications, the repayment of
debt, the continuation of Company-sponsored research and development,
administrative costs and construction of laboratory facilities. Inasmuch as
CEL-SCI does not anticipate realizing revenues until such time as it enters into
licensing arrangements regarding the technology and know-how licensed to it
(which could take a number of years), CEL-SCI is mostly dependent upon the
proceeds from the sale of its securities to meet all of its liquidity and
capital resource requirements.

      In fiscal 2003, CEL-SCI reduced its discretionary expenditures. In fiscal
2004 expenditures remained at the 2003 levels. If necessary, CEL-SCI may reduce
discretionary expenditures in fiscal 2005; however such reductions would further
delay the development of CEL-SCI's products.

      Multikine has an FDA approved shelf life of two years. Consequently,
Multikine can only be used for two years after it is manufactured. Since the
last batch of Multikine was manufactured over two years ago, CEL-SCI does not
currently have any Multikine available for future clinical studies. As a result,
CEL-SCI will be required to manufacture additional quantities of Multikine for
future research and clinical studies. CEL-SCI anticipates that the Multikine
needed for its planned Phase III clinical trial will be manufactured in several
batches over a two to three year period at a cost of between $4 to $5 million.
CEL-SCI's last batch of Multikine was used during the fall of 2002.

Equity Line of Credit

      In order to provide a possible source of funding for CEL-SCI's current
activities and for the development of its current and planned products, CEL-SCI
entered into an equity line of credit agreement with Rubicon Group Ltd.


                                       20


      Under the equity line of credit agreement, Rubicon Group has agreed to
provide CEL-SCI with up to $10,000,000 of funding during a two year period
beginning on December 29, 2003. During this period, CEL-SCI may request a
drawdown under the equity line of credit by selling shares of its common stock
to Rubicon Group, and Rubicon Group will be obligated to purchase the shares.
The minimum amount CEL-SCI can draw down at any one time is $100,000, and the
maximum amount CEL-SCI can draw down at any one time will be determined at the
time of the drawdown request using a formula contained in the equity line of
credit agreement. CEL-SCI may request a drawdown once every 22 trading days,
although CEL-SCI is under no obligation to request any drawdowns under the
equity line of credit.

      During the 22 trading days following a drawdown request, CEL-SCI will
calculate the number of shares it will sell to Rubicon Group and the purchase
price per share. The purchase price per share of common stock will be based on
the daily volume weighted average price of CEL-SCI's common stock during each of
the 22 trading days immediately following the drawdown date, less a discount of
11%.

      The following summarizes the drawdowns requested by CEL-SCI under the
equity line of credit during the year ended September 30, 2004.

     Date of         Shares        Average Sale          Net Proceeds

      The net proceeds to CEL-SCI are net of a $1,000 fee paid to an escrow
agent.

Shelf Offering

      In May 2004, CEL-SCI completed an offering of 6,402,439 shares of
registered common stock at $0.82 per share to one institutional investor. This
sale resulted in gross proceeds of $5,250,000 and associated costs of $498,452.
The stock was offered pursuant to a shelf registration statement and Wachovia
Capital Markets, LLC acted as the placement agent for the offering. CEL-SCI is
using the proceeds of the offering to advance the clinical development of
Multikine for the treatment of cancer. In connection with this financing, 76,642
warrants were issued to Wachovia at a price of $1.37. The warrants expire May 4,
2009. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes valuation method and an
expense of $38,127 was recorded to additional paid-in capital as a cost related
to obtaining capital during the year ended September 30, 2004.



                                       21


Future Capital Requirements

      CEL-SCI plans to use its existing financial resources, the proceeds from
the sale of its common stock, and proceeds from the sale of common stock under
the equity line of credit agreement to fund its capital requirements during the
year ending September 30, 2005.

      Other than funding operating losses, funding its research and development
program, and paying its liabilities, CEL-SCI does not have any material capital
commitments. Material future liabilities as of September 30, 2004 are as
follows:

                         ==========        ========     ========     =======

      It should be noted that substantial additional funds will be needed for
more extensive clinical trials which will be necessary before CEL-SCI will be
able to apply to the FDA for approval to sell any products which may be
developed on a commercial basis throughout the United States. In the absence of
revenues, CEL-SCI will be required to raise additional funds through the sale of
securities, debt financing or other arrangements in order to continue with its
research efforts. However, there can be no assurance that such financing will be
available or be available on favorable terms. It is the opinion of management
that sufficient funds will be available from external financing and additional
capital and/or expenditure reduction in order to meet CEL-SCI's liabilities and
commitments as they come due during fiscal year 2005. Ultimately, CEL-SCI must
complete the development of its products, obtain appropriate regulatory
approvals and obtain sufficient revenues to support its cost structure.

      CEL-SCI's cash flow and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to
changes in interest rates on its certificates of deposit, and, to an immaterial
extent, foreign currency exchange rates.

Covance AG

    On October 8, 2002, CEL-SCI signed an agreement with Covance AG (Covance), a
Swiss Corporation. Pursuant to the agreement, amounts owed to Covance totaling
$199,928 as of June 30, 2003 were converted to a note payable. The note was
payable on January 2, 2004. Interest was payable monthly at an annual rate of
8%. Until the entire amount was paid to Covance, Covance was entitled to receive
2% of any draw-down of CEL-SCI's equity credit line, 2% of any net funds
received from outside financings of less than $1 million, 3% of any net funds
received from outside financings greater than $1 million but less than $2
million and 4% of any net funds received from outside financings greater than $2
million. During the year ended September 30, 2003, CEL-SCI paid $15,598 on the
Covance note. The note was paid in full in December 2003.

Eastern Biotech

      In May 2003, CEL-SCI entered into an agreement with Eastern Biotech which
provided Eastern Biotech with the following (i) the exclusive right to
distribute Multikine and CEL-1000 in Greece, Serbia and Croatia, (ii) a royalty
equal to 1% of CEL-SCI's net sales of Multikine and CEL-1000 prior to May 30,
2033, (iii) 1,100,000 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock and, (iv) warrants which
allow Eastern Biotech to purchase an additional 1,100,000 shares of CEL-SCI's
common stock at a price of $0.47 per share at any time prior to May 30, 2008. In
consideration for the above Eastern Biotech paid CEL-SCI $500,000. Because the
Company did not register these shares prior to September 30, 2003, the royalty
percentage increased to 2%. If Eastern Biotech did not meet certain clinical
development milestones within one year, it would lose the right to sell both
products in these three countries. As of June 1, 2004, Eastern Biotech lost its
exclusive right to market, distribute and sell Multikine in accordance with the
agreement.

Cambrex Bio Science Promissory Note

      In November 2001, CEL-SCI gave a promissory note to Cambrex Bio Sciences,
Inc., the owner of the manufacturing facility used by CEL-SCI to produce
Multikine for CEL-SCI's clinical trials. The promissory note was in the
principal amount of $1,172,517 which represented the cost of CEL-SCI's use of
the Cambrex manufacturing facility for the three months ended January 10, 2002.
The amount due Cambrex bore interest at the prime interest rate, plus 3%, which
was adjusted monthly. As of December 1, 2003 the prime interest rate was 4% and
the interest rate on the amount due Cambrex was 7%. Pursuant to the agreement,
CEL-SCI surrendered a cash deposit and transferred title to certain equipment to
Cambrex, which reduced the amount due by $225,000. Until the note was paid in
full, CEL-SCI agreed to pay Cambrex 10% of all amounts received by CEL-SCI, net
of financing costs, from any future financings, including amounts received by
CEL-SCI from its equity line of credit. Cambrex, at its option, could convert
all or part of the amount due Cambrex into shares of CEL-SCI's common stock. The
number of shares to be issued to Cambrex upon any conversion of the note was to
be determined by dividing that portion of the note to be converted by the
Conversion Price. The "Conversion Price" was an amount equal to 90% of the
average closing prices of CEL-SCI's common stock for the three trading days
immediately prior to the conversion date. However, the Conversion Price could
not be less than $0.22.

      During the quarter ended December 31, 2003, CEL-SCI paid $692,010 of
principal plus accrued interest of $59,450 to Cambrex, thereby fully repaying
the remaining balance of the note. No part of the note was converted into shares
of CEL-SCI's common stock.

Convertible Notes

      In December 2001 and January 2002, CEL-SCI sold Series F convertible
notes, plus Series F warrants, to a group of private investors for $1,600,000.
As of December 1, 2002 all of the Series F notes had been converted into
6,592,461 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock.


                                       23


      In July and September 2002, CEL-SCI sold Series G convertible notes, plus
Series G warrants, to a group of private investors for $1,300,000. As of June
30, 2003 all of the Series G notes had been converted into 8,390,746 shares of
CEL-SCI's common stock.

      In January and July 2003, CEL-SCI sold Series H convertible notes, plus
Series H warrants, to a group of private investors for $1,350,000. As of
December 1, 2003 all of the Series H notes had been converted into 3,233,229
shares of CEL-SCI's common stock.

Critical Accounting Policies

      CEL-SCI's significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note
1 to the consolidated financial statements. However, certain accounting policies
are particularly important to the portrayal of financial position and results of
operations and require the application of significant judgments by management.
As a result, the consolidated financial statements are subject to an inherent
degree of uncertainty. In applying those policies, management uses its judgment
to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of
certain estimates. These estimates are based on CEL-SCI's historical experience,
terms of existing contracts, observance of trends in the industry and
information available from outside sources, as appropriate. Our significant
accounting policies include:

      Patents - Patent expenditures are capitalized and amortized using the
straight-line method over 17 years. In the event changes in technology or other
circumstances impair the value or life of the patent, appropriate adjustment in
the asset value and period of amortization is made. An impairment loss is
recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from
the use of the asset, and from disposition, is less than the carrying value of
the asset. The amount of the impairment loss would be the difference between the
estimated fair value of the asset and its carrying value.

      Stock Options and Warrants - In October 1996, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123). This statement
encourages but does not require companies to account for employee stock
compensation awards based on their estimated fair value at the grant date with
the resulting cost charged to operations. CEL-SCI has elected to continue to
account for its employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value
method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. In December 2002, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transaction
and Disclosure" which amends SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 148 provided alternative
methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation and requires more prominent and
more frequent disclosures in the financial statements of the effects of
stock-based compensation. The provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for
periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company has elected to continue
to account for its employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value
method.

     Asset Valuations and Review for Potential Impairments - CEL-SCI reviews its
fixed  assets  every  fiscal  quarter.  This review  requires  that CEL-SCI make


                                       24


assumptions regarding the value of these assets and the changes in circumstances
that would affect the carrying value of these assets. If such analysis indicates
that a possible  impairment may exist,  CEL-SCI is then required to estimate the
fair value of the asset and, as deemed appropriate,  expense all or a portion of
the asset. The determination of fair value includes numerous uncertainties, such
as the impact of competition on future value.  CEL-SCI believes that it has made
reasonable  estimates and judgments in determining whether our long-lived assets
have been impaired;  however,  if there is a material  change in the assumptions
used in our  determination  of fair  values or if there is a material  change in
economic  conditions or circumstances  influencing fair value,  CEL-SCI could be
required to recognize certain  impairment  charges in the future. As a result of
the reviews, no changes in asset values are expected.

      Prepaid Expenses and Laboratory Supplies--The majority of prepaid expenses
consist of bulk purchases of laboratory supplies used on a daily basis in the
lab and items that will be used for future production. The items in prepaid
expenses are expensed when used in production or daily activity as Research and
Development expenses. These items are disposables and consumables and can be
used for both the manufacturing of Multikine for clinical studies and in the
laboratory for quality control and bioassay use. They can be used in training,
testing and daily laboratory activities. Other prepaid expenses are payments for
services over a long period and are expensed over the time period for which the
service is rendered.

      Convertible Notes - Convertible notes were issued during the year ended
September 30, 2002. CEL-SCI initially offset a portion of the notes with a
discount representing the relative fair value of the warrants and a beneficial
conversion feature discount. This discount is amortized to interest expense over
the period the notes are outstanding and is accelerated pro-rata as the notes
are converted. The fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion
discount are calculated based on available market data using appropriate
valuation models. These valuations require that CEL-SCI make assumptions and
estimates regarding the convertible notes and warrants. Management uses its
judgment, as well as outside sources, to determine these assumptions and
estimates.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks

      Market risk is the potential change in an instrument's value caused by,
for example, fluctuations in interest and currency exchange rates. CEL-SCI has
no derivative financial instruments. Further, there is no exposure to risks
associated with foreign exchange rate changes because none of the operations of
CEL-SCI are transacted in a foreign currency. The interest rate risk on
investments is considered immaterial due to the dollar value of investments as
of September 30, 2004.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In November 2004 the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 151, "Inventory Costs,
an amendment of ARB 43, Chapter 4". This statement  amends ARB 43, Chapter 4, to
clarify  accounting  for abnormal  amounts of idle  facility  expense,  freight,
handling  costs and wasted  material.  SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be
recognized  as  current-period  charges  in all  circumstances.  SFAS No. 151 is


                                       25


effective  for fiscal  years  beginning  after June 15,  2005.  CEL-SCI does not
believe  that the  adoption  of SFAS No. 151 will have a material  effect on its
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

      In December 2004 the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment".
SFAS No. 123R requires companies to recognize compensation expense in an amount
equal to the fair value of the share-based payment (stock options and restricted
stock) issued to employees. SFAS No. 123R applies to all transactions involving
issuance of equity by a company in exchange for goods and services, including
employees. SFAS No. 123R is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June
15, 2005. CEL-SCI has not determined the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R.

      On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchange of
Non-monetary Assets", an amendment of Accounting Principles Board ("APB")
Opinion No. 29, which differed from the International Accounting Standards
Board's ("IASB") method of accounting for exchanges of similar productive
assets. Statement No. 153 replaces the exception from fair value measurement in
APB No. 29, with a general exception from fair value measurement for exchanges
of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The Statement is
to be applied prospectively and is effective for non-monetary asset exchanges
occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. CEL-SCI does not
believe that SFAS No. 153 will have a material impact on its results of
operations or cash flows.

                                    BUSINESS

      CEL-SCI Corporation was formed as a Colorado corporation in 1983.
CEL-SCI's principal office is located at 8229 Boone Boulevard, Suite 802,
Vienna, VA 22182. CEL-SCI's telephone number is 703-506-9460 and its web site is
www.cel-sci.com. CEL-SCI makes its electronic filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC), including its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to these
reports available on its website free of charge as soon as practicable after
they are filed or furnished to the SEC.

OVERVIEW

      CEL-SCI's most advanced product, Multikine(R), manufactured using the
company's proprietary cell culture technologies, is being developed for the
treatment of cancer. Multikine is designed to target the tumor micro-metastises
that are mostly responsible for treatment failure. The basic idea of Multikine
is to make current cancer treatments more successful. The lead indication is
advanced primary head & neck cancer (500,000 new cases per annum). Since
Multikine is not tumor specific, it may also be applicable in many other solid
tumors.

     In  a  recently  completed  clinical  trial  involving  54  matched  cancer
patients,  treatment with Multikine prior to surgical  intervention rendered the
residual  tumor  cells  much  more  susceptible  to  follow-on   treatment  with
radiation, and possibly chemotherapy.  This data was published in December 2003.
A second finding involving another 39 matched cancer patients  demonstrated that
Multikine  pre-treatment  increased  the percent and  absolute  number of immune
cells  infiltrating  into the tumor  bed,  causing  tumor cell  destruction  and


                                       26


necrosis.  This  finding  was  presented  at The  American  Society of  Clinical
Oncology  (ASCO) in June 2004.  The data  pointed to a reversal  of the  CD4/CD8
immune cell ratios in the tumors,  resulting in a 42% response rate after only 3
weeks of the non-toxic treatment with Multikine.

      CEL-SCI also owns a pre-clinical technology called L.E.A.P.S. (Ligand
Epitope Antigen Presentation System). The lead product derived from this
technology is the CEL-1000 peptide which has shown protection in animals against
herpes, malaria and cancer. With the help of government grants and US Army and
US Navy collaborations, CEL-1000 is now being tested against viral encephalitis,
West Nile Virus, SARS, Vaccinia, Smallpox, herpes, malaria and other agents. If
the bio-terrorism tests are successful, CEL-SCI is likely to push CEL-1000 for
potential bio-terrorism disease indications to gain accelerated approval.

MULTIKINE

      Multikine has been tested in 220 patients in clinical trials conducted in
the U.S., Canada, Europe and Israel. Most of these patients were head and neck
cancer patients, but some studies were also conducted in prostate cancer
patients, HIV-infected patients and HIV-infected women with Human Papilloma
Virus ("HPV")-induced cervical dysplasia, the precursor stage before the
development of cervical cancer. The safety profile was found to be very good and
CEL-SCI believes that the clinical data suggests that further studies are
warranted.

      The function of the immunological system is to protect the body against
infectious agents, including viruses, bacteria, parasites and malignant (cancer)
cells. An individual's ability to respond to infectious agents and to other
substances (antigens) recognized as foreign by the body's immune system is
critical to health and survival. When the immune response is adequate, infection
is usually combated effectively and recovery follows. Severe infection can occur
when the immune response is inadequate. Such immune deficiency can be present
from birth but, in adult life, it is frequently acquired as a result of intense
sickness or as a result of the administration of chemotherapeutic drugs and/or
radiation. It is also recognized that, as people reach middle age and
thereafter, the immune system grows weaker.

      Two classes of white blood cells, macrophages and lymphocytes, are
believed to be primarily responsible for immunity. Macrophages are large cells
whose principal immune activity is to digest and destroy infectious agents.
Lymphocytes are divided into two sub-classes. One sub-class of lymphocytes,
B-cells, produces antibodies in response to antigens. Antibodies have unique
combining sites (specificities) that recognize the shape of particular antigens
and bind with them. The combination of an antibody with an antigen sets in
motion a chain of events which may neutralize the effects of the foreign
substance. The other sub-class of lymphocytes, T-cells, regulates immune
responses. T-cells, for example, amplify or suppress antibody formation by
B-cells, and can also directly destroy "foreign" cells by activating "killer
cells."

     It is generally  recognized that the interplay  among T-cells,  B-cells and
the  macrophages  determines the strength and breadth of the body's  response to
infection.  It  is  believed  that  the  activities  of  T-cells,   B-cells  and
macrophages are controlled,  to a large extent,  by a specific group of hormones
called  cytokines.  Cytokines  regulate and modify the various functions of both


                                       27


T-cells and B-cells. There are many cytokines,  each of which is thought to have
distinctive  chemical  and  functional  properties.  IL-2  is but  one of  these
cytokines  and it is on IL-2 and its synergy with other  cytokines  that CEL-SCI
has focused its attention.  Scientific and medical investigation has established
that IL-2 enhances immune responses by causing activated T-cells to proliferate.
Without such  proliferation  no immune response can be mounted.  Other cytokines
support  T-cell  and  B-cell  proliferation.  However,  IL-2 is the  only  known
cytokine  which  causes  the  proliferation  of  T-cells.  IL-2 is also known to
activate B-cells in the absence of B-cell growth factors.

      Although IL-2 is one of the best characterized cytokines with anticancer
potential, CEL-SCI is of the opinion that to have optimum therapeutic value,
IL-2 should be administered not as a single substance but rather as a mixture of
IL-2 and certain cytokines, i.e. as a "cocktail". This approach, which was
pioneered by CEL-SCI, makes use of the synergism between these cytokines. It
should be noted, however, that neither the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
nor any other agency has determined that CEL-SCI's Multikine product will be
effective against any form of cancer.

      Research and human clinical trials sponsored by CEL-SCI have indicated a
correlation between administration of Multikine to cancer patients and
immunological responses. On the basis of these experimental results, CEL-SCI
believes that Multikine may have application for the treatment of solid tumors
in humans.

      Between 1985 and 1988 Multikine was tested at St. Thomas Hospital in
London, UK in forty-eight patients with various types of cancers. Multikine was
shown to be safe when used by these patients.

      In November 1990, the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative
Services ("DHRS") gave the physicians at a southern Florida medical institution
approval to start a clinical cancer trial in Florida using CEL-SCI's Multikine
product. The focus of the trial was unresectable head and neck cancer.

      In 1991, four patients with regionally advanced squamous cell cancer of
the head and neck were treated with CEL-SCI's Multikine product. The patients
had previously received radical surgery followed by radiation therapy but
developed recurrent tumors at multiple sites in the neck and were diagnosed with
terminal cancer.

      Significant tumor reduction occurred in three of the four patients as a
result of the treatment with Multikine. Negligible side effects, such as
injection site soreness and headaches, were observed and the patients were
treated as outpatients. Notwithstanding the above, it should be noted that these
trials were only preliminary and were only conducted on a small number of
patients. It remains to be seen if Multikine will be effective in treating any
form of cancer.

      These results caused CEL-SCI to embark on a major manufacturing program
for Multikine with the goal of being able to produce a drug that would meet the
stringent regulatory requirements for advanced human studies. This program
included building a pilot scale manufacturing facility.



                                       28


      The objective of CEL-SCI scientists is to use Multikine as an adjunct
(additive) therapy to the existing treatment of previously untreated head & neck
cancer patients with the goal of reducing cancer recurrence and ultimately
increasing survival. However, pursuant to FDA regulations, CEL-SCI was required
to test the drug first for safety in locally recurrent, locally metastatic head
and neck cancer patients who had failed other cancer therapies. This dose
escalation study was started in 1995 at several centers in Canada and the US
where 16 patients were enrolled at 4 different dosage levels. The study ended in
1998 and showed Multikine to be safe and well tolerated at all dose levels.

      Because CEL-SCI scientists have determined that patients with previously
untreated disease would most likely benefit more from Multikine treatment,
CEL-SCI started a safety trial in Canada in 1997 in advanced primary head & neck
cancer patients who had just recently been diagnosed with head & neck cancer.
This study ultimately enrolled 28 patients, also at 4 different dosage levels,
and ended in late 1999. Halfway through this study, CEL-SCI launched a number of
phase II studies in advanced primary head & neck cancer to determine the best
dosage, best route of administration and best frequency of administration of
Multikine. Those studies involved 19 patients in Israel (1997 - 2000), 30
patients in Poland and the Czech Republic (1999 - 2000), and 94 patients (half
treated with Multikine and the other half disease matched cancer patients served
as control) in Hungary (1999 - 2003). The Hungarian trial compared the control
group (receiving only conventional cancer therapy, surgery plus radiation
therapy) to the Multikine treated patients (receiving Multikine prior to
conventional therapy) by histopathology and immunohistochemistry. The results of
these studies were published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and/or
presented at scientific meetings. The studies that have not yet been published
were either conducted in support of Multikine's safety and clinical utility or
will be published in the future.

      The above studies, which are all completed, indicate that Multikine was
safe and well tolerated at all dose levels investigated. The studies also showed
partial and complete tumor responses following Multikine treatment at the best
treatment regimen combinations as well as tumor necrosis (destruction) and
fibrosis (as determined by histopathology). Additional findings regarding
Multikine treatment of head & neck cancer are expected to be presented/published
in 2005.

      While CEL-SCI scientists believe partial and complete tumor responses to
be very important, they also believe that other findings with Multikine in these
studies are equally important since they may serve to enhance existing cancer
therapies, thereby affecting the clinical outcome of the cancer patient's
treatment.

      The initial results of the Hungarian study were published in December
2003. Data from a Phase I/II clinical trial in fifty-four (54) advanced primary
head and neck cancer patients (half treated, half control), the first part of
the Hungarian study, were published in The Laryngoscope, December 2003, Vol.113
(12). The title of the article is "The Effect of Leukocyte Interleukin Injection
(MULTIKINE) on the Peritumoral and Intratumoral Subpopulation of Mononuclear
Cells and on Tumor Epithelia: A Possible New Approach to Augmenting Sensitivity
to Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in Oral Cancer - A Multi Center Phase I/II
Clinical Trial".


                                       29


      The data demonstrates that treatment with Multikine rendered a high
proportion of the tumor cell population highly susceptible to radiation therapy.
This finding represents a major advance in the treatment of cancer since, under
current standard therapy, only about 5%-10% of the cancer cells are thought to
be susceptible to radiation therapy at any one point in time.

      The increased sensitivity of the Multikine treated tumors to radiation was
derived from a dramatic increase in the number of proliferating (those that are
in cell cycle) cancer cells. Following Multikine treatment, the great majority
of the tumor cells were in a proliferative state, as measured by the
well-established cell proliferation marker Ki67. The control patients (not
treated with Multikine) had only low expression (near background) of the same
proliferation marker (Ki67) in this study. These findings were statistically
significant (p<0.05, ANOVA).

    This is an important finding because the ability of radiation therapy (and
chemotherapy) to kill tumor cells is dependent, in large part, on the
proliferative state of the tumor cells at the time of radiation (and
chemotherapy) treatment. As seen in the control group in this study, and also in
many other tumor types, the great majority of tumor cells (about 90% or more)
are in a "resting" state (non-proliferating). It is generally accepted that
tumor cells in the "resting" state are by-and-large resistant to radiation and
chemotherapy. However, Multikine treatment induced a reversal of this
non-proliferative state of the tumor cells and caused the great majority of the
tumor cells to enter into the proliferative state, thereby rendering the tumor
highly susceptible to radiation therapy (and chemotherapy).

      The results of the Israeli trial have been published in Archives of
Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery, August 2003, Vol.129. This paper on 12
patients treated by Dr. Feinmesser shows positive safety, tumor response and
clinical outcome data, but no firm conclusions can be drawn from a study of only
12 patients.

      Results from the Multikine Phase II clinical trials were published in June
2004 at the 40th ASCO Annual Meeting. The study involved 39 head & neck cancer
patients, 19 of whom were treated with CEL-SCI's immunotherapy drug Multikine
prior to surgery and radiation. The other 20 patients served as matched
controls, meaning that they did not receive Multikine prior to surgery and
radiation. In a comparison pathology study of the tumors, Multikine treatment
caused a significant shift in the ratio of key immune cells that infiltrate the
tumor. The cancer patients treated with Multikine were shown to have much higher
rate of tumor cell killing, resulting in a 42% overall response rate, including
12% complete responses.

      The tumors of the 39 head & neck cancer patients were analyzed by three
independent pathologists, blinded to the study. Of the 19 Multikine treated
patients in this study, 2 patients (12%) had no remaining cancer cells, another
2 patients (12%) had a reduction in the cancer cell mass greater than 50% and an
additional 4 patients (21%) had a reduction in the cancer cell mass of more than
30%. The objective response rate in this trial was 21%, with an overall response
rate of 42%, as determined by pathology.

     This study,  which used a three-week,  non-toxic  treatment with Multikine,
caused a shift from a low  CD4/CD8  cell ratio  (less than one CD4 cell for each


                                       30


CD8 cell) to a high  (over 2.5 - 3)  CD4/CD8  cell  ratio (2.5 - 3 CD4 cells for
each CD8 cell) in the tumor. This indicates that Multikine  treatment shifts the
immune  response from a mainly CD8 cell  anti-tumor  response to a predominately
CD4 anti-tumor response. Both CD4 and CD8 are key cells of the immune system.

      The change in the immune response from CD8 to CD4 cells is very important
for the cancer patient because the cancer cells seem to have learned to shut
down the CD8 anti-tumor immune response. This "shut-down" of the CD8 cells was
evident in the tumors of the control (non-Multikine treated) group. The control
group had predominately CD8 cell infiltrate which was inactive against the
tumor. The Multikine treated group, on the other hand, had a predominately CD4
cell infiltrate. The tumor was unable, or less able, to shut down the Multikine
induced CD4 cell immune response and, as a result thereof, the cancer patients
treated with Multikine were shown to have much higher rate of tumor cell
killing.

      CEL-SCI scientists believe that they have compiled sufficient data and
clinical information to justify a Phase III clinical trial which would be
designed to prove the clinical benefit from Multikine as an addition to
established anti-cancer therapies. It is CEL-SCI's intention to meet with FDA in
early 2005 to discuss such a trial.

      Follow-up data for the first 8 patients sequentially treated with
Multikine at one center in the Hungarian study indicated no recurrence of cancer
24 months after treatment. This contrasts with the scientific literature, which
reports that cancer will recur in up to 50% of primary head and neck cancer
patients within 18 to 24 months after surgery and/or radiation therapy. Data on
the remaining patients is not available because follow-up was outside of the
scope of the protocol which ended at surgery, and a follow-up study for the
complete trial has not yet been conducted. CEL-SCI considers this data to be
positive and plans to prove the clinical benefit of Multikine in Phase III
clinical trials.

      Multikine has also been tested in a 15 HIV-infected patients (1998 - 1999)
in California. This small study found Multikine to be safe in the HIV-infected
population and showed preliminary evidence of improved delayed type
hypersensitivity response to recall antigens. The results of this study were
reported in Antiviral Therapy 5 (Supplement), 2000.

     Another study at the Thomas Jefferson Medical Center (1998) used very small
amounts of Multikine to determine the  feasibility  of injecting  Multikine into
the prostate of 5 hormonal therapy refractive prostate cancer patients scheduled
for  prostatectomy.  Although  deemed  safe  by  the  investigators,   Multikine
administration  in this  trial  directly  into the  prostate  (under  ultrasound
guidance)  resulted in  occasional  mild  dysuria  and mild  increase in urinary
frequency. Two out of the five treated cases had an inflammatory response in the
prostate and a third case had fibrosis. The Company believes that more Multikine
injections will need to be given to achieve a potential  outcome as seen in head
& neck cancer.  None of the prostate cancer patients  received more than half of
the amounts given to the head & neck cancer patients.  Also, no testing was done
at the time to determine if Multikine would enhance  susceptibility to radiation
therapy in the prostate. The results of this trial were published in Seminars in
Oncology Vol. 26 (4) (August) 1999.


                                       31


      In May 2001, CEL-SCI also started a Phase I clinical trial at the
University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute (UMBI). The focus of this study
is HIV-infected women with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)-induced cervical
dysplasia, the precursor stage before the development of cervical cancer. The
goal of the study is to obtain safety and preliminary efficacy data on Multikine
as a treatment for pre-cancerous lesions of the cervix (dysplasia). Most
cervical dysplasia and cancer is due to infection with HPV. The rationale for
using Multikine in the treatment of cervical dysplasia/cancer is that Multikine
may safely boost the patients' immune systems to the point where their immune
systems can eliminate the virally-induced cancer. Cervical cancer is the second
leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide.

      The HIV-infected women with HPV-induced cervical dysplasia were chosen as
a study group because of the high morbidity and low success rate of current
surgical therapies. Since HIV infection results in immune suppression,
HPV-induced cervical dysplasia follows a more malignant and aggressive course of
disease in such women. Co-infection with HPV is common in HIV-positive women
(about 83%) and cervical cancer is considered an AIDS-defining illness.

      HPV infection is also a leading health problem in non HIV-infected
American college age women. A large concern among women who have HPV-induced
cervical dysplasia is that the repeated surgical procedures will lead to a
hysterectomy and the inability to bear children.

      At the March 2002 33rd Annual Meeting of the Society of Gynecological
Oncologists in Miami, Florida, scientists from UMBI and CEL-SCI presented data
from this trial in HIV-infected women with HPV induced cervical dysplasia. The
results were as follows: 8 patients had been treated with no major toxicity. The
lower dosage group had 3 out of 5 patients resolved/improved with 2 out of 5
patients with no change in their cervical dysplasia status as compared the
patient's own baseline disease. The higher dosage group had 2 out of 3 patients
who improved and 1 out of 3 patients with no change. The changes in disease
status were determined by both Colposcopy and Histology.

      Subsequent HPV testing during 2001 and 2002 of the first three patients
revealed the elimination of HPV virus types (using in situ PCR) following
treatment with Multikine and ranged from 54% to 84% (Avg = 68%) reduction in HPV
virus in the cervical tissue of Multikine treated HIV/HPV co-infected patients.
The study was closed due to the inability to enroll patients.

      CEL-SCI's future studies in the HPV-induced cervical dysplasia area will
only be conducted with grant or government funds as CEL-SCI plans to devote its
resources to head and neck cancer, the area where it has the most data.

      Since 1985, Multikine has been well tolerated in clinical studies
involving 220 patients. Forty-eight patients were treated in the United States
in accordance with clinical trials authorized by the FDA. The remaining patients
were treated outside of the United States in accordance with protocols
authorized by comparable health regulatory authorities in the countries where
the patients were treated. All the clinical trials were conducted in accordance
with the Declaration of Helsinki (1985), and informed consent was obtained from
each patient volunteer. This process is the standard procedure for the conduct
of human clinical trials.


                                       32


      In November 2000, CEL-SCI concluded a development, supply and distribution
agreement with Orient Europharma of Taiwan. The agreement gives Orient
Europharma the exclusive marketing rights to Multikine for all cancer
indications in Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia. The agreement provides
for Orient Europharma to fund the clinical trials needed to obtain marketing
approvals in the four countries for head and neck cancer, naso-pharyngeal cancer
and potentially cervical cancer, which are very prevalent in Far East Asia.
CEL-SCI may use the clinical data generated in these trials to support
applications for marketing approvals for Multikine in other parts of the world.

      Under the agreement, CEL-SCI will manufacture Multikine and Orient
Europharma will purchase the product from CEL-SCI for distribution in the
territory. Both parties will share in the revenue from the sale of Multikine. As
of December 31, 2003 Orient Europharma had not started any clinical trials since
CEL-SCI's plan is for Orient Europharma to begin a Phase III clinical trial when
CEL-SCI begins its Phase III clinical trial or to do one combined Phase III
clinical trial. The above is subject to discussion with the FDA.

      In May 2003, CEL-SCI entered into an agreement with Eastern Biotech which
provided Eastern Biotech with the following (i) the exclusive right to
distribute Multikine and CEL-1000 in Greece, Serbia and Croatia, (ii) a royalty
equal to 1% of CEL-SCI's net sales of Multikine and CEL-1000 prior to May 30,
2033, (iii) 1,100,000 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock and, (iv) warrants which
allow Eastern Biotech to purchase an additional 1,100,000 shares of CEL-SCI's
common stock at a price of $0.47 per share at any time prior to May 30, 2008. In
consideration for the above Eastern Biotech paid CEL-SCI $500,000. Because the
Company did not register these shares prior to September 30, 2003, the royalty
percentage increased to 2%. If Eastern Biotech did not meet certain clinical
development milestones within one year, it would lose the right to sell both
products in these three countries. As of June 1, 2004, Eastern Biotech lost its
exclusive right to market, distribute and sell Multikine in accordance with the
agreement.

      Proof of efficacy for anti-cancer drugs is a lengthy and complex process.
At this early stage of clinical investigation, it remains to be proven that
Multikine will be effective against any form of cancer. Even if some form of
Multikine is found to be effective in the treatment of cancer, commercial use of
Multikine may be several years away due to extensive safety and effectiveness
tests that would be necessary before required government approvals are obtained.
It should be noted that other companies and research teams are actively involved
in developing treatments and/or cures for cancer, and accordingly, there can be
no assurance that CEL-SCI's research efforts, even if successful from a medical
standpoint, can be completed before those of its competitors.

      CEL-SCI  uses  Cambrex  Biosciences,  Inc.  for  certain  aspects of the
production of Multikine for research and testing purposes.  The agreement with
Cambrex Biosciences, Inc. expires in 2006.

T-CELL MODULATION PROCESS  

     CEL-SCI's  patented T-cell Modulation  Process uses  "heteroconjugates"  to
direct  the body to  choose a  specific  immune  response.  The  heteroconjugate


                                       33


technology,  referred to as  L.E.A.P.S.  (Ligand  Epitope  Antigen  Presentation
System),  is intended to  selectively  stimulate the human immune system to more
effectively fight bacterial,  viral and parasitic infections and cancer, when it
cannot do so on its own. Administered like vaccines,  L.E.A.P.S. combines T-cell
binding ligands with small, disease associated, peptide antigens and may provide
a new method to treat and prevent certain diseases.

      The ability to generate a specific immune response is important because
many diseases are often not combated effectively due to the body's selection of
the "inappropriate" immune response. The capability to specifically reprogram an
immune response may offer a more effective approach than existing vaccines and
drugs in attacking an underlying disease.

      Using the LEAPS technology, CEL-SCI discovered a peptide, named CEL-1000,
which is currently being tested in animals for the prevention/treatment of
herpes simplex, malaria, viral encephalitis, smallpox, vaccinia and a number of
other indications.

      In the Spring of 2002, CEL-SCI, in conjunction with The Naval Medical
Research Center, announced that CEL-1000 provided 100% protection against
malaria infection in a mouse model. The same peptide also induced protective
effects in mouse models for herpes simplex virus and cancer. In the Fall of 2002
CEL-SCI announced that it had signed a Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Navy for CEL-1000 in malaria.

      CEL-SCI received two grants in April 2003, one grant in May 2003, and one
grant in September 2003 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The first
grant totaling $1,100,000 was awarded to Northeastern Ohio Universities College
of Medicine (NEOUCOM) with CEL-SCI as a subcontractor. The grant is for a period
of three years and is intended to support the development of CEL-SCI's new
compound, CEL-1000, as a possible treatment for viral encephalitis, a
potentially lethal inflammation of the brain. The grant was awarded following a
peer review process and will fund pre-clinical studies leading up to toxicology
studies. The second grant, totaling $134,000 and awarded to CEL-SCI with Johns
Hopkins Medical Institutions as a subcontractor, is a Phase I Small Business
Innovation Research (SBIR) grant for the further development of a potential
treatment for autoimmune myocarditis, a heart disease. The third grant,
announced on May 7, 2003 for $162,000 was awarded to CEL-SCI with NEOUCOM as a
sub-contractor, and is a Phase I SBIR grant for the further development of
CEL-1000 against Herpes Simplex. The fourth grant, totaling $104,000 was awarded
to CEL-SCI with the University of Nebraska as a sub-contractor, and is a Phase I
SBIR grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
(NIAID), NIH, for the development of CEL-1000 as a potential therapeutic and
prophylactic agent against vaccinia and smallpox infections as a single agent
and as an adjuvant for vaccinia vaccines. Vaccinia is the virus used in the
smallpox vaccine.

      As of November 15, 2004 approximately $696,600 remained from these four
grants. As of November 15, 2004 CEL-SCI had received approximately $334,700 from
these grants. The remaining funds will be spent over the next two years.


                                       34


      In June 2003 CEL-SCI signed a Cooperative Agreement with the NIAID and the
U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease (USAMRIID) to test
CEL-1000 against various bio-terrorism agents as well as other hard to treat
diseases.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

      Since 1983, and through September 30, 2004, approximately $48,564,000 has
been expended on CEL-SCI-sponsored research and development, including
approximately $1,942,000, $1,916,000 and $4,700,000 respectively during the
years ended September 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002.

      The extent of CEL-SCI's clinical trials and research programs is primarily
based upon the amount of capital available to CEL-SCI and the extent to which
CEL-SCI has received regulatory approvals for clinical trials. Over the past
three years CEL-SCI's research and development expenditures have decreased, due
in part to the capital available to CEL-SCI and due in part to the fact that the
costs involved in manufacturing MULTIKINE for use in clinical trials and costs
involved in validating the manufacturing process were primarily incurred in
fiscal 2001 and prior periods. Research and development expenses during fiscal
2004 remained at the fiscal 2003 level.

      The costs associated with the clinical trials relating to CEL-SCI's
technologies, research expenditures and CEL-SCI's administrative expenses have
been funded with the public and private sales of CEL-SCI's securities and
borrowings from third parties, including affiliates of CEL-SCI.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

New drug development and approval process

    Regulation by governmental authorities in the United States and other
countries is a significant factor in the manufacture and marketing of biological
and other drug products and in ongoing research and product development
activities. CEL-SCI's products will require regulatory approval by governmental
agencies prior to commercialization. In particular, these products are subject
to rigorous preclinical and clinical testing and other premarket approval
requirements by the FDA and regulatory authorities in other countries. In the
United States, various statutes and regulations also govern or influence the
manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, record keeping and marketing of
pharmaceutical and biological drug products. The lengthy process of seeking
these approvals, and the subsequent compliance with applicable statutes and
regulations, require the expenditure of substantial resources. CEL-SCI believes
that it is currently in compliance with applicable statutes and regulations that
are relevant to its operations. CEL-SCI has no control, however, over compliance
by its manufacturing and other partners.

     The FDA's  statutes,  regulations,  or policies  may change and  additional
statutes or government  regulations  may be enacted which could prevent or delay
regulatory  approvals  of  biological  or other drug  products.  CEL-SCI  cannot


                                       35


predict the likelihood, nature or extent of adverse governmental regulation that
might arise from future legislative or administrative action, either in the U.S.
or abroad.

    Regulatory approval, when and if obtained, may be limited in scope. In
particular, regulatory approvals will restrict the marketing of a product to
specific uses. Further, approved biological and other drugs, as well as their
manufacturers, are subject to ongoing review. Discovery of previously unknown
problems with these products may result in restrictions on their manufacture,
sale or use or in their withdrawal from the market. Failure to comply with
regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties,
recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production or
injunction, as well as other actions affecting CEL-SCI. Any failure by CEL-SCI
or its manufacturing and other partners to obtain and maintain, or any delay in
obtaining, regulatory approvals could materially adversely affect CEL-SCI's
business.

    The process for new drug approval has many steps, including:

Preclinical testing

    Once a biological or other drug candidate is identified for development, the
drug candidate enters the preclinical testing stage. During preclinical studies,
laboratory and animal studies are conducted to show biological activity of the
drug candidate in animals, both healthy and with the targeted disease. Also,
preclinical tests evaluate the safety of drug candidates. These tests typically
take approximately two years to complete. Preclinical tests must be conducted in
compliance with good laboratory practice regulations. In some cases, long term
preclinical studies are conducted while clinical studies are ongoing.

Investigational new drug application

     When the  preclinical  testing is  considered  adequate  by the  sponsor to
demonstrate  the safety and the scientific  rationale for initial human studies,
an  investigational  new drug  application  (IND) is filed  with the FDA to seek
authorization  to begin human testing of the biological or other drug candidate.
The IND  becomes  effective  if not  rejected  by the FDA  within 30 days  after
filing.  The IND must provide data on previous  experiments,  how,  where and by
whom the new studies will be conducted,  the chemical structure of the compound,
the method by which it is believed to work in the human body,  any toxic effects
of  the  compound   found  in  the  animal  studies  and  how  the  compound  is
manufactured.  All clinical  trials must be conducted under the supervision of a
qualified  investigator in accordance with good clinical  practice  regulations.
These  regulations  include the requirement  that all subjects  provide informed
consent. In addition,  an institutional review board (IRB),  comprised primarily
of physicians  and other  qualified  experts at the hospital or clinic where the
proposed  studies will be  conducted,  must review and approve each human study.
The IRB also  continues  to  monitor  the  study  and must be kept  aware of the
study's progress, particularly as to adverse events and changes in the research.
Progress reports  detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted
at least  annually to the FDA and more  frequently if adverse  events occur.  In
addition,  the FDA may, at any time during the 30-day period after filing an IND
or at any future time,  impose a clinical  hold on proposed or ongoing  clinical


                                       36


trials.  If the FDA imposes a clinical hold,  clinical trials cannot commence or
recommence  without FDA  authorization,  and then only under terms authorized by
the FDA . In some instances, the IND process can result in substantial delay and
expense.

    Some limited human clinical testing may also be done under a physician's IND
that allows a single individual to receive the drug, particularly where the
individual has not responded to other available therapies. A physician's IND
does not replace the more formal IND process, but can provide a preliminary
indication as to whether further clinical trials are warranted, and can, on
occasion, facilitate the more formal IND process.

    Clinical trials are typically conducted in three sequential phases, but the
phases may overlap.

Phase I clinical trials

    Phase I human clinical trials usually involve between 20 and 80 healthy
volunteers or patients and typically take one to two years to complete. The
tests study a biological or other drug's safety profile, and may seek to
establish the safe dosage range. The Phase I clinical trials also determine how
a drug candidate is absorbed, distributed, metabolized and excreted by the body,
and the duration of its action.

Phase II clinical trials

    In Phase II clinical trials, controlled studies are conducted on an expanded
population of patients with the targeted disease. The primary purpose of these
tests is to evaluate the effectiveness of the drug candidate on the volunteer
patients as well as to determine if there are any side effects or other risks
associated with the drug. These studies generally take several years and may be
conducted concurrently with Phase I clinical trials. In addition, Phase I/II
clinical trials may be conducted to evaluate not only the efficacy of the drug
candidate on the patient population, but also its safety.

Phase III clinical trials

    This phase typically lasts two to three years and involves an even larger
patient population, often with several hundred or even several thousand patients
depending on the use for which the drug is being studied. Phase III trials are
intended to establish the overall risk-benefit ratio of the drug and provide, if
appropriate, an adequate basis for product labeling. During the Phase III
clinical trials, physicians monitor the patients to determine efficacy and to
observe and report any reactions or other safety risks that may result from use
of the drug candidate.

Chemical and formulation development

     Concurrent  with clinical trials and  preclinical  studies,  companies also
must develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the
drug and finalize a process for  manufacturing  the product in  accordance  with
current good  manufacturing  practice  requirements  (cGMPs).  The manufacturing
process must be capable of consistently producing quality batches of the product


                                       37


and the manufacturer must develop methods for testing the quality,  purity,  and
potency of the final drugs. Additionally, appropriate packaging must be selected
and tested and chemistry stability studies must be conducted to demonstrate that
the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf-life.

New drug application or biological license application

    After the completion of the clinical trial phases of development, if the
sponsor concludes that there is substantial evidence that the biological or
other drug candidate is effective and that the drug is safe for its intended
use, a new drug application (NDA) or biologics license application (BLA) may be
submitted to the FDA. The application must contain all of the information on the
biological or other drug candidate gathered to that date, including data from
the clinical trials. Under the Pediatric Research Equity Act of 2003, a company
is also required to include an assessment, generally based on clinical study
data, on the safety and efficacy of the drug candidate for all relevant
pediatric populations before submitting an application. The statute provides for
waivers or deferrals in certain situations but no assurance can be made that
such situations will apply to a particular product.

    The FDA reviews all NDAs and BLAs submitted before it accepts them for
filing. It may request additional information rather than accepting an
application for filing. In this event, the application must be resubmitted with
the additional information. The resubmitted application is also subject to
review before the FDA accepts it for filing. Once the submission is accepted for
filing, the FDA begins an in-depth review of the application. The FDA may refer
the application to an appropriate advisory committee, typically a panel of
clinicians, for review, evaluation and a recommendation. The FDA is not bound by
the recommendation of an advisory committee. If FDA evaluations of the NDA or
BLA and the manufacturing facilities are favorable, the FDA may issue an
approval letter authorizing commercial marketing of the drug or biological
candidate for specified indications. The FDA could also issue an approvable
letter, which usually contains a number of conditions that must be met in order
to secure final approval of the NDA or BLA. When and if those conditions have
been met to the FDA's satisfaction, the FDA will issue an approval letter. On
the other hand, if the FDA's evaluation of the NDA or BLA or manufacturing
facilities is not favorable, the FDA may refuse to approve the application or
issue a non-approvable letter.

    Among the conditions for NDA or BLA approval is the requirement that each
prospective manufacturer's quality control and manufacturing procedures conform
to current good manufacturing practice standards and requirements (cGMPs).
Manufacturing establishments are subject to periodic inspections by the FDA and
by other federal, state or local agencies.

COMPETITION AND MARKETING

     Many companies,  nonprofit organizations and governmental  institutions are
conducting research on cytokines.  Competition in the development of therapeutic
agents   incorporating   cytokines   is   intense.    Large,    well-established
pharmaceutical  companies are engaged in cytokine  research and  development and
have considerably  greater  resources than CEL-SCI has to develop products.  The


                                       38


establishment by these large companies of in-house  research groups and of joint
research  ventures with other  entities is already  occurring in these areas and
will  probably  become even more  prevalent.  In addition,  licensing  and other
collaborative arrangements between governmental and other nonprofit institutions
and  commercial  enterprises,  as well as the  seeking of patent  protection  of
inventions by nonprofit  institutions  and  researchers,  could result in strong
competition for CEL-SCI.  Any new developments  made by such  organizations  may
render CEL-SCI's licensed technology and know-how obsolete.

      Several biotechnology companies are producing IL-2-like compounds. CEL-SCI
believes, however, that it is the only producer of a patented IL-2 product using
a patented cell-culture technology with normal human cells. CEL-SCI foresees
that its principle competition will come from producers of
genetically-engineered IL-2-like products. However, it is CEL-SCI's belief,
based upon growing scientific evidence, that its natural IL-2 products have
advantages over the genetically engineered, IL-2-like products. Evidence
indicates that genetically engineered, IL-2-like products, which lack sugar
molecules and typically are not water soluble, may be recognized by the
immunological system as a foreign agent, leading to a measurable antibody
build-up and thereby possibly voiding their therapeutic value. Furthermore,
CEL-SCI's research has established that to have optimum therapeutic value IL-2
should be administered not as a single substance but rather as an IL-2-rich
mixture of certain cytokines and other proteins, i.e. as a "cocktail". If these
differences prove to be of importance, and if the therapeutic value of its
Multikine product is conclusively established, CEL-SCI believes it will be able
to establish a strong competitive position in a future market.

      CEL-SCI has not established a definitive plan for marketing nor has it
established a price structure for CEL-SCI's saleable products. However, CEL-SCI
intends, if CEL-SCI is in a position to begin commercialization of its products,
to enter into written marketing agreements with various major pharmaceutical
firms with established sales forces. The sales forces in turn would probably
target CEL-SCI's products to cancer centers, physicians and clinics involved in
immunotherapy.

      CEL-SCI may encounter problems, delays and additional expenses in
developing marketing plans with outside firms. In addition, CEL-SCI may
experience other limitations involving the proposed sale of its products, such
as uncertainty of third-party reimbursement. There is no assurance that CEL-SCI
can successfully market any products which they may develop or market them at
competitive prices.

     Some of the  clinical  trials  funded  to date by  CEL-SCI  have  not  been
approved  by the FDA,  but rather  have been  conducted  pursuant  to  approvals
obtained from certain states and foreign countries.  Conducting clinical studies
in foreign  countries is normal industry  practice since these studies can often
be completed in less time and are less expensive  than studies  conducted in the
U.S.  Conducting  clinical studies in foreign countries is also beneficial since
CEL-SCI will need the approval from a foreign  country prior to the time CEL-SCI
can market any of its drugs in the foreign country.  However,  since the results
of these clinical trials may not be accepted by the FDA, competitors  conducting
clinical  trials  approved by the FDA may have an advantage in that the products
of such competitors are further advanced in the regulatory process than those of


                                       39


CEL-SCI.  CEL-SCI is conducting  its trials in compliance  with  internationally
recognized  standards.   By  following  these  standards,   CEL-SCI  anticipates
obtaining acceptance from world regulatory bodies, including the FDA.

EMPLOYEES

      As of November 15, 2004 CEL-SCI had nineteen (19) employees. Six (6)
employees are involved in administration, eleven (11) employees are involved in
manufacturing research and two (2) employees are involved in general research
and development with respect to CEL-SCI's products.

PROPERTIES

      CEL-SCI leases office space at 8229 Boone Blvd., Suite 802, Vienna,
Virginia at a monthly rental of approximately $7,050. The lease on the office
space expires in June 2005. CEL-SCI believes this arrangement is adequate for
the conduct of its present business.

      CEL-SCI has a 17,900 square foot laboratory located at 4820 A-E Seton
Drive, Baltimore, Maryland. The laboratory is leased by CEL-SCI at a cost of
approximately $10,556 per month. The laboratory lease expires in 2009, with an
extension available until 2014.

Employee Pension, Profit Sharing or Other Retirement Plans

      During 1993 CEL-SCI implemented a defined contribution retirement plan,

substantially all the Company's employees. Prior to January 1, 1998 CEL-SCI's
contribution was equal to the lesser of 3% of each employee's salary, or 50% of
the employee's contribution. Effective January 1, 1998 the plan was amended such
that the Company's contribution is now made in shares of CEL-SCI's common stock
as opposed to cash. Each participant's contribution is matched by CEL-SCI with
shares of common stock which have a value equal to 100% of the participant's
contribution, not to exceed the lesser of $1,000 or 6% of the participant's
total compensation. CEL-SCI's contribution of common stock is valued each
quarter based upon the closing price of the Company's common stock. The fiscal
2004 expenses for this plan were $56,158. Other than the 401(k) Plan, CEL-SCI
does not have a defined benefit, pension plan, profit sharing or other
retirement plan.

Stock Option and Bonus Plans

      CEL-SCI has Incentive Stock Option Plans, Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans
and Stock Bonus Plans. All Stock Option and Bonus Plans have been approved by
the stockholders. A summary description of these Plans follows. In some cases
these Plans are collectively referred to as the "Plans".

      Incentive Stock Option Plan. The Incentive Stock Option Plans collectively
authorize the issuance of up to 5,100,000 shares of CEL-SCI's Common Stock to
persons who exercise options granted pursuant to the Plan. Only Company
employees may be granted options pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option Plan.

      To be classified as incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue
Code, options granted pursuant to the Plans must be exercised prior to the
following dates:

      (a)  The expiration of three months after the date on which an option
           holder's employment by CEL-SCI is terminated (except if such
           termination is due to death or permanent and total disability);

      (b)  The expiration of 12 months after the date on which an option
           holder's employment by CEL-SCI is terminated, if such termination is
           due to the Employee's permanent and total disability;

      (c)  In the event of an option holder's death while in the employ of
           CEL-SCI, his executors or administrators may exercise, within three
           months following the date of his death, the option as to any of the
           shares not previously exercised;

      The total fair market value of the shares of Common Stock (determined at
the time of the grant of the option) for which any employee may be granted
options which are first exercisable in any calendar year may not exceed
$100,000.


                                       48


      Options may not be exercised until one year following the date of grant.
Options granted to an employee then owning more than 10% of the Common Stock of
CEL-SCI may not be exercisable by its terms after five years from the date of
grant. Any other option granted pursuant to the Plan may not be exercisable by
its terms after ten years from the date of grant.

      The purchase price per share of Common Stock purchasable under an option
is determined by the Committee but cannot be less than the fair market value of
the Common Stock on the date of the grant of the option (or 110% of the fair
market value in the case of a person owning more than 10% of CEL-SCI's
outstanding shares).

      Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans. The Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans
collectively authorize the issuance of up to 8,760,000 shares of CEL-SCI's
Common Stock to persons that exercise options granted pursuant to the Plans.
CEL-SCI's employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors are eligible
to be granted options pursuant to the Plans, provided however that bona fide
services must be rendered by such consultants or advisors and such services must
not be in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising
transaction. The option exercise price is determined by the Committee but cannot
be less than the market price of CEL-SCI's Common Stock on the date the option
is granted.

      Stock Bonus Plan. Up to 2,940,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted
under the Stock Bonus Plan. Such shares may consist, in whole or in part, of
authorized but unissued shares, or treasury shares. Under the Stock Bonus Plan,
CEL-SCI's employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors are eligible
to receive a grant of CEL-SCI's shares, provided however that bona fide services
must be rendered by consultants or advisors and such services must not be in
connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising
transaction.

      Other Information Regarding the Plans. The Plans are administered by
CEL-SCI's Compensation Committee ("the Committee"), each member of which is a
director of the Company. The members of the Committee were selected by CEL-SCI's
Board of Directors and serve for a one-year tenure and until their successors
are elected. A member of the Committee may be removed at any time by action of
the Board of Directors. Any vacancies which may occur on the Committee will be
filled by the Board of Directors. The Committee is vested with the authority to
interpret the provisions of the Plans and supervise the administration of the
Plans. In addition, the Committee is empowered to select those persons to whom
shares or options are to be granted, to determine the number of shares subject
to each grant of a stock bonus or an option and to determine when, and upon what
conditions, shares or options granted under the Plans will vest or otherwise be
subject to forfeiture and cancellation.

     In the  discretion of the  Committee,  any option  granted  pursuant to the
Plans may include installment  exercise terms such that the option becomes fully
exercisable  in  a  series  of  cumulating  portions.  The  Committee  may  also
accelerate  the date upon which any option (or any part of any options) is first
exercisable.  Any shares issued pursuant to the Stock Bonus Plan and any options
granted pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option Plan or the  Non-Qualified  Stock
Option Plan will be  forfeited  if the  "vesting"  schedule  established  by the


                                       49


Committee  administering  the Plan at the time of the grant is not met. For this
purpose,  vesting  means the period  during  which the  employee  must remain an
employee of CEL-SCI or the period of time a non-employee  must provide  services
to CEL-SCI. At the time an employee ceases working for CEL-SCI (or at the time a
non-employee ceases to perform services for CEL-SCI),  any shares or options not
fully vested will be forfeited and cancelled. At the discretion of the Committee
payment for the shares of Common  Stock  underlying  options may be paid through
the delivery of shares of CEL-SCI's Common Stock having an aggregate fair market
value  equal to the option  price,  provided  such shares have been owned by the
option holder for at least one year prior to such  exercise.  A  combination  of
cash and shares of Common Stock may also be permitted at the  discretion  of the
Committee.

      Options are generally non-transferable except upon death of the option
holder. Shares issued pursuant to the Stock Bonus Plan will generally not be
transferable until the person receiving the shares satisfies the vesting
requirements imposed by the Committee when the shares were issued.

      The Board of Directors of CEL-SCI may at any time, and from time to time,
amend, terminate, or suspend one or more of the Plans in any manner they deem
appropriate, provided that such amendment, termination or suspension will not
adversely affect rights or obligations with respect to shares or options
previously granted. The Board of Directors may not, without shareholder
approval: make any amendment which would materially modify the eligibility
requirements for the Plans; increase or decrease the total number of shares of
Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to the Plans except in the case of a
reclassification of CEL-SCI's capital stock or a consolidation or merger of
CEL-SCI; reduce the minimum option price per share; extend the period for
granting options; or materially increase in any other way the benefits accruing
to employees who are eligible to participate in the Plans.

      Summary. The following sets forth certain information, as of January 10,
2005, concerning the stock options and stock bonuses granted by CEL-SCI. Each
option represents the right to purchase one share of CEL-SCI's common stock.

                               SELLING SHAREHOLDER

      This prospectus relates to shares of CEL-SCI's common stock issuable upon
the exercise of CEL-SCI's Series H warrants.



                                       52


      The owner of the Series H warrants is referred to in this prospectus as
the "selling shareholder". CEL-SCI will not receive any proceeds from the sale
of the shares by the selling shareholder.

      The name of and the shares to be sold by the selling shareholder are:

                              Shares Which
                                 May be

SDS Merchant Fund, L.P.          550,000           550,000         (3)

      For purposes of the foregoing table it is assumed that all shares which
may be acquired by the selling shareholder upon the exercise of the Series H
Warrants are sold to the public by means of this prospectus.

      As of January 10, 2005 SDS Merchant Fund did not own of record any shares
of CEL-SCI's common stock. However, SDS Merchant Fund is the beneficial owner of
550,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of CEL-SCI's Series H warrants.

      The Series H warrants allow SDS Merchant Fund to purchase up to 550,000
shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of $0.25 per share at any time prior
to January 7, 2010. The warrant exercise price and the number of shares issuable
upon the exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment under those
conditions explained in the section of the prospectus entitled "Comparative
Share Data". CEL-SCI's agreement with the selling shareholder requires CEL-SCI
to register more shares that CEL-SCI would be required to issue if all warrants
were exercised so that additional shares will be available for sale if the price
of CEL-SCI's common stock declines or if there is any adjustment to the number
of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants.

Plan of Distribution

      The selling shareholder and any of its pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of its shares of
common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or
negotiated prices. The selling shareholder may use any one or more of the
following methods when selling shares:

o     ordinary   brokerage   transactions   and   transactions  in  which  the
      broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
o     block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as
      agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
      facilitate the transaction;
o     purchases  by  a   broker-dealer   as   principal   and  resale  by  the
      broker-dealer for its account;


                                       53


o     an exchange  distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
      exchange;
o     privately negotiated transactions;
o     short sales;
o     broker-dealers  may  agree  with  the  selling  shareholder  to  sell  a
      specified number of its shares at a stipulated price per share;
o     a combination of any such methods of sale; and
o     any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

      The selling shareholder may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

      The selling shareholder may engage in short sales against the box, puts
and calls and other transactions in securities of CEL-SCI or derivatives of
CEL-SCI securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these
trades. The selling shareholder may pledge its shares to brokers under the
margin provisions of customer agreements. If the selling shareholder defaults on
a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged
shares.

      Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholder may arrange for other
brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the selling shareholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as
agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated. The selling shareholder does not expect these commissions and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

      The selling shareholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved
in selling the shares are "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities
Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by
such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares
purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts
under the Securities Act.

      CEL-SCI is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the
registration of the shares, including fees and disbursements of counsel to the
selling shareholder. CEL-SCI has agreed to indemnify the selling shareholder
against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act.

      CEL-SCI has advised the selling shareholder that in the event of a
"distribution" of the shares owned by the selling shareholder, the selling
shareholders, any "affiliated purchasers", and any broker/dealer or other person
who participates in such distribution may be subject to Rule 102 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act") until their participation in that
distribution is completed. A "distribution" is defined in Rule 102 as an
offering of securities "that is distinguished from ordinary trading transactions
by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and
selling methods". CEL-SCI has also advised the selling shareholder that Rule 102
under the 1934 Act prohibits any "stabilizing bid" or "stabilizing purchase" for
the purpose of pegging, fixing or stabilizing the price of the common stock in
connection with this offering. Rule 101 makes it unlawful for any person who is
participating in a distribution to bid for or purchase stock of the same class
as is the subject of the distribution.

      CEL-SCI is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, (the
"common stock"). Holders of common stock are each entitled to cast one vote for
each share held of record on all matters presented to shareholders. Cumulative
voting is not allowed; hence, the holders of a majority of the outstanding
common stock can elect all directors.

      Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor and,
in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of CEL-SCI's
assets after payment of liabilities. The board is not obligated to declare a
dividend. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable
future.

      Holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to
additional shares if issued by CEL-SCI. There are no conversion, redemption,
sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock . All of the
outstanding shares of Common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

Preferred Stock

      CEL-SCI is authorized to issue up to 200,000 shares of preferred stock.
CEL-SCI's Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board of Directors has the
authority to divide the preferred stock into series and, within the limitations
provided by Colorado statute, to fix by resolution the voting power,
designations, preferences, and relative participation, special rights, and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of any series so
established. As the Board of Directors has authority to establish the terms of,
and to issue, the preferred stock without shareholder approval, the preferred
stock could be issued to defend against any attempted takeover of CEL-SCI.

Warrants Held by Private Investors

    See "Comparative Share Data" for information concerning the terms of
warrants held by private investors.

Transfer Agent

         Computershare  Trust  Company,  Inc.,  of  Denver,  Colorado,  is the
transfer agent for CEL-SCI's common stock.

                                     EXPERTS

     The financial  statements  included in this prospectus have been audited by
Deloitte & Touche LLP, an  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm, as
stated in their reports appearing herein and elsewhere in


                                       55


the  registration  statement,  and are included in reliance  upon the reports of
such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.


                                 INDEMNIFICATION

      CEL-SCI's bylaws authorize indemnification of a director, officer,
employee or agent of CEL-SCI against expenses incurred by him in connection with
any action, suit, or proceeding to which he is named a party by reason of his
having acted or served in such capacity, except for liabilities arising from his
own misconduct or negligence in performance of his duty. In addition, even a
director, officer, employee, or agent of CEL-SCI who was found liable for
misconduct or negligence in the performance of his duty may obtain such
indemnification if, in view of all the circumstances in the case, a court of
competent jurisdiction determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnification. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons
controlling CEL-SCI pursuant to the foregoing provisions, CEL-SCI has been
informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is
therefore unenforceable.

                             ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

      CEL-SCI is subject to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
l934 and is required to file reports, proxy statements and other information
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of any such reports, proxy
statements and other information filed by CEL-SCI can be read and copied at the

Reference Room by calling the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330. The Commission
maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information
statements, and other information regarding CEL-SCI. The address of that site is

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
CEL-SCI Corporation
Vienna, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CEL-SCI
Corporation and subsidiary (the "Company") as of September 30, 2004 and 2003,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended September 30, 2004. 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 standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company at September 30, 2004
and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended September 30, 2004, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CEL-SCI CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004, 2003 AND 2002

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   CEL-SCI Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated on March 22, 1983, in
   the State of Colorado, to finance research and development in biomedical
   science and ultimately to engage in marketing and selling products.

   Significant accounting policies are as follows:

a.   Principles of Consolidation--The consolidated financial statements include
     the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Viral
     Technologies, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions have been
     eliminated upon consolidation.

b.   Investments--Investments that may be sold as part of the liquidity
     management of the Company or for other factors are classified as
     available-for-sale and are carried at fair market value. Unrealized gains
     and losses on such securities are reported as a separate component of
     stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are
     reported in earnings and computed using the specific identified cost
     basis.

c.   Research and Office Equipment--Research and office equipment is recorded
     at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated
     useful lives of five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are
     depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or
     the terms of the lease. Repairs and maintenance are expensed when
     incurred.

d.   Research and Development Costs--Research and development expenditures are
     expensed as incurred. The Company has an agreement with an unrelated
     corporation for the production of MULTIKINE, which is the Company's only
     product source.

e.   Research and Development Grant Revenues--The Company's grant arrangements
     are handled on a reimbursement basis. Grant revenues under the
     arrangements are recognized as grant revenue when costs are incurred.

f.   Patents--Patent  expenditures  are  capitalized and amortized using the
     straight-line  method over 17 years.  In the event changes in technology or
     other  circumstances  impair the value or life of the  patent,  appropriate
     adjustment  in the asset  value  and  period of  amortization  is made.  An
     impairment loss is recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows
     expected to result from the use of the asset, and from disposition, is less
     than the carrying  value of the asset.  The amount of the  impairment  loss
     would be the  difference  between the estimated fair value of the asset and
     its carrying  value.  During the years ended  September 30, 2004,  2003 and
     2002, the Company recorded patent impairment charges of $43,351, $9,828 and
     $39,960, respectively, for the  net book value of patents  abandoned during
     the year.These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses.

                                      F-14


g.   Net Loss Per Common Share--Net loss per common share is computed by
     dividing the net loss, after increasing the loss for the effect of any
     accrued dividends on the preferred stock and the accretion of the
     beneficial conversion feature related to the preferred stock, by the
     weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
     Common stock equivalents, including convertible preferred stock and
     options to purchase common stock, were excluded from the calculation for
     all periods presented as they were antidilutive.

h.   Prepaid Expenses--The majority of prepaid expenses consist of
     manufacturing production advances and bulk purchases of laboratory
     supplies to be consumed in the manufacturing of the Company's product for
     clinical studies. During the year ended September 30, 2004, $43,184 in
     expired (but still useable) inventory was returned to the vendor and
     replaced by the vendor at no cost.

i.   Deferred Financing Costs--Deferred financing costs are capitalized and
     expensed over the shorter of the period the notes are outstanding or on a
     pro-rata basis as the notes are converted.

j.   Income  Taxes--Income  taxes  are  accounted  for  using  the asset and
     liability  method  under  which  deferred  tax  liabilities  or assets  are
     determined based on the difference between the financial  statement and tax
     basis of assets  and  liabilities  (i.e.,  temporary  differences)  and are
     measured at the enacted tax rates.  Deferred tax expense is  determined  by
     the change in the liability or asset for deferred taxes.  The difference in
     the  Company's  U.S.  Federal  statutory  income tax rate and the Company's
     effective  rate is  primarily  attributed  to the  recording of a valuation
     allowance due to the  uncertainty of the amount of future tax benefits that
     will be realized  because it is more  likely  than not that future  taxable
     income will not be sufficient to realize such tax benefits.

k.   Cash and Cash Equivalents--For purposes of the statements of cash flows,
     cash and cash equivalents consists principally of unrestricted cash on
     deposit and short-term money market funds. The Company considers all
     highly liquid investments with a maturity when purchased of less than
     three months, and those investments that are readily convertible to known
     amounts of cash and are so close to maturity that they bear no interest
     rate risk, as cash and cash equivalents.

l.  Convertible  Debt--Convertible  debt issued by the Company is initially
    offset by a discount  representing  the relative fair value of the warrants
    and beneficial  conversion feature.  This discount is amortized to interest
    expense over the period the debt is outstanding and accelerated pro-rata as
    the notes are  converted.  The fair value of the  warrants  and  beneficial
    conversion  discount are  calculated  based on available  market data using
    appropriate valuation models. Notes 6 and 12 provide additional information
    on the valuation of the warrants and beneficial conversion discount.

m.  Use of Estimates--The  preparation of financial statements in conformity
    with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in the United  States of
    America  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. 

                                      F-15


n.  New Pronouncements--In  November 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards
    Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
    No.  151,  "Inventory  Costs,  an  amendment  of ARB 43,  Chapter  4". This
    statement  amends ARB 43,  Chapter 4, to clarify  accounting  for  abnormal
    amounts  of idle  facility  expense,  freight,  handling  costs and  wasted
    material.  SFAS  No.  151  requires  that  those  items  be  recognized  as
    current-period charges in all circumstances.  SFAS No. 151 is effective for
    fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2005.  The Company does not believe
    that the  adoption  of SFAS No.  151 will  have a  material  effect  on its
    financial  position,  results of operations or cash flows. 

    In December 2004 the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment". SFAS
    No. 123R requires companies to recognize  compensation expense in an amount
    equal to the fair  value of the  share-based  payment  (stock  options  and
    restricted  stock)  issued  to  employees.  SFAS No.  123R  applies  to all
    transactions  involving  issuance  of equity by a Company in  exchange  for
    goods and  services,  including  employees.  SFAS No. 123R is effective for
    fiscal  periods  beginning  after  June  15,  2005.  The  Company  has  not
    determined the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R.

    On  December  16,  2004,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  153,  "Exchange  of
    Nonmonetary  Assets",  an amendment of Accounting  Principles Board ("APB")
    Opinion No. 29, which differed from the International  Accounting Standards
    Board's  ("IASB") method of accounting for exchanges of similar  productive
    assets.   Statement  No.  153  replaces  the  exception   from  fair  value
    measurement  in APB No.  29,  with a  general  exception  from  fair  value
    measurement for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial
    substance.  The Statement is to be applied  prospectively  and is effective
    for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after
    June 15,  2005.  The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 153 will have a
    material impact on its results of operations or cash flows.

o.   Stock-Based Compensation-- In October 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123,
     "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". This statement encourages but
     does not require companies to account for employee stock compensation
     awards based on their estimated fair value at the grant date with the
     resulting cost charged to operations. The Company has elected to continue
     to account for its employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic
     value method prescribed in APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
     Employees, and related Interpretations". In December 2002, the FASB issued
     SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and
     Disclosure" which amends SFAS No. 123. SFAS 148 provides alternative
     methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based
     method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and requires
     more prominent and more frequent disclosures in the financial statements
     of the effects of stock-based compensation. The provisions of SFAS 148 are
     effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company has
     elected to continue to account for its employee stock-based compensation
     using the intrinsic value method. If the Company had elected to recognize
     compensation expense based on the fair value of the awards granted,
     consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and
     net loss per common share would have been increased to the pro forma
     amounts indicated below:
                                                 Year Ended September 30,

      Net loss per common share:
        As reported                   $     (0.06)    $     (0.13)  $     (0.35)
        Pro forma                     $     (0.08)    $     (0.15)  $     (0.40)

      The weighted average fair value at the date of grant for options granted
      during fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $0.48, $0.22, and $0.49, per
      option, respectively.

      The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant
      using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
      assumptions:
                                          2004          2003          2002
                                          ----          ----          ----
      Expected stock risk volatility        88%           77%        90 to 93%
      Risk-free interest rate         3.13-4.25         3.12%    4.10 to 4.12%
      Expected life options             5 Years       5 Years          5 Years
      Expected dividend yield              -               -              -

      The effects of applying SFAS No. 123 in this pro forma disclosure are not
      necessarily indicative of the effect on future amounts.

      The Company's stock options are not transferable, and the actual value of
      the stock options that an employee may realize, if any, will depend on the
      excess of the market price on the date of exercise over the exercise
      price. The Company has based its assumption for stock price volatility on
      the variance of monthly closing prices of the Company's stock. The
      risk-free rate of return used for fiscal years 2004 and 2003 equals the
      yield on five-year zero-coupon U.S. Treasury issues on the grant date. The
      risk-free rate of return used for fiscal years 2002 and 2001 equals the
      yield on one to six year zero-coupon U.S. Treasury issues on the date of
      grant. No discount was applied to the value of the grants for
      nontransferability or risk of forfeiture.

2. OPERATIONS AND FINANCING

   The Company has incurred significant costs since its inception in connection
   with the acquisition of certain patented and unpatented proprietary
   technology and know-how relating to the human immunological defense system,
   patent applications, research and development, administrative costs,
   construction of laboratory facilities, and clinical trials. The Company has

                                     F-17



   funded such costs with  proceeds  realized from the public and private sale
   of its common and  preferred  stock.  The Company will be required to raise
   additional  capital  or find  additional  long-term  financing  in order to
   continue  with  its  research  efforts.  The  Company  expects  to  receive
   additional funding from private investors subsequent to September 30, 2004;
   however,  there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to raise
   additional capital or obtain additional financing. To date, the Company has
   not generated any revenue from product sales. The ability of the Company to
   complete the necessary clinical trials and obtain FDA approval for the sale
   of products to be developed on a commercial basis is uncertain.

   The Company plans to seek continued funding of the Company's development by
   raising additional  capital.  In fiscal year 2003 and fiscal year 2002, the
   Company   reduced  its   discretionary   expenditures.   Fiscal  year  2004
   expenditures  remained  in line  with  fiscal  year 2003  expenditures.  If
   necessary,  the Company plans to further reduce discretionary  expenditures
   in fiscal  year 2005;  however  such  reductions  would  further  delay the
   development of the Company's products. It is the opinion of management that
   sufficient  funds will be available from external  financing and additional
   capital  and/or  expenditure  reductions  in order  to meet  the  Company's
   liabilities  and  commitments  as they come due  during  fiscal  year 2005.
   Ultimately,  the Company must  complete the  development  of its  products,
   obtain the appropriate  regulatory approvals and obtain sufficient revenues
   to support its cost structure.

3. INVESTMENTS

   The Company has invested in highly liquid notes during fiscal year 2004 with
   maturity dates of less than three months. These investments are classified as
   cash and cash equivalents. There were no investments or associated unrealized
   gains or losses as of September 30, 2004 or 2003. The gross realized gains
   and losses of sales of investments available-for-sale for the years ended
   September 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002, are as follows:

                                                  2004      2003       2002

5. INCOME TAXES

   At September 30, 2004 the Company had a federal net  operating  loss carry-
   forward of approximately $79.2 million expiring from 2005 through 2024. The
   Company has deferred tax assets of  approximately  $30.8  million and $32.5
   million at  September  30, 2004 and 2003,  respectively.  The  deferred tax
   assets are principally a result of the net operating loss carryforwards.

   At both September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company has recognized a valuation
   allowance to the full extent of its deferred tax assets.  In assessing  the
   realization of the deferred tax assets,  management  considered whether it
   was more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset
   will be realized.  The ultimate  realization of the deferred tax assets are
   dependent upon the  generation of future income.  Management has considered
   the  history  of the  Company's  operating  losses  and  believes  that the
   realization of the benefit of the deferred tax assets cannot be determined.
   In  addition,  under the Internal  Revenue Code Section 382 the  Company's 
   ability to utilize these net operating loss carryforwards may be limited or
   eliminated  in the event of a change in  ownership.  Internal  Revenue Code
   Section 382 generally defines a change in ownership as the situation where
   there has been a more than 50 percent  change in  ownership of the value of
   the Company within the last three years.

   For fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company's  federal  statutory tax
   rate was 35% and the state tax rate was 6%. The  effective tax rate was 0%.
   The difference  between the rates was primarily  attributable to the effect
   of  non-deductible  interest expense related to convertible  notes (1%, 11%
   and 7% for the fiscal  years  2004,  2003 and 2002,  respectively)  and the
   non-recognition of deferred taxes due to the valuation allowance.

6. STOCK OPTIONS, BONUS PLAN AND WARRANTS

   Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan--At September 30, 2004, the Company has
   collectively authorized the issuance of 8,760,000 shares of common stock
   under the Non-Qualified Plan. Options typically vest over a three-year period
   and expire no later than ten years after the grant date. Terms of the options
   are to be determined by the Company's Compensation Committee, which
   administers all of the plans. The Company's employees, directors, officers,
   and consultants or advisors are eligible to be granted options under the
   Non-Qualified Plan.

   Information  regarding  the  Company's  Non-Qualified  Stock Option Plan is
   summarized as follows:

   During March 2000, the Company agreed to restore and vest 40,000 options at
   prices ranging from $5.25 to $5.62, to one former Director and one Director
   as part of a settlement agreement. The options will expire on September 25,
   2006.  As of September  30, 2003,  20,000  options had been  exercised.  In
   October 2000 and April 2001, the Company  extended the expiration  dates on
   approximately  1,056,000  options from the  Nonqualified  Stock Option Plan
   with exercise  prices ranging from $2.38 to $5.25.  The options  originally

                                      F-20



   expired from October 2000 to January 2001 but were  extended to  expiration
   dates  ranging from October 2001 to January  2002.  Each of these two dates
   was considered a new  measurement  date with respect to all of the modified
   options;  however,  on each date the exercise price of the options exceeded
   the fair market value of the Company's  common  stock,  and  therefore,  no
   compensation expense was recorded.

   In July 2001, the Company repriced 1,298,098 outstanding employee and
   director stock options under the Nonqualified Plans that were priced over
   $2.00 down to $1.05. In accordance with Financial Interpretation No. 44 (FIN
   44), such repriced options are considered to be variable options. During the
   year ended September 30, 2001, compensation charges of $364,532 were recorded
   in the consolidated statement of operations and unearned compensation of
   $11,916 was recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30,
   2001. The compensation expense was originally determined based upon the
   difference between the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the
   date of modification and the exercise price of each stock option. On
   September 30, 2001, the incremental compensation expense was determined based
   on the difference between the fair market value of the stock on September 30,
   2001, and the exercise price, less the previously recorded expense. During
   the year ended September 30, 2002, the change in the market value of the
   Company's common stock resulted in the reversal of $364,532 of compensation
   expense. Changes in the fair market value of the Company's stock may result
   in future changes to compensation expense. There was no expense recorded
   during the years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. As of September 30, 2004,
   1,194,266 options remain outstanding.

   In November 2001, the Company extended the expiration date on 242,000 options
   at $1.05 from the Nonqualified Plans. The options were to expire between June
   2002 and October 2002 and were extended by one year to June 2003 through
   October 2003. The options had originally been granted between October 1989 to
   December 1995. These dates were considered a new measurement date with
   respect to all of the modified options. In addition, in February, April, and
   July of 2002, the Company modified options outstanding to employees who had
   been terminated in conjunction with their change in employee status so that
   all options vested on the date of termination. These dates were considered a
   new measurement date with respect to all of the newly vested options. At each
   of the dates of modification, the exercise price of the options exceeded the
   fair market value of the Company's common stock and no compensation expense
   was recorded.

   In November 2002 and March 2003, the Company extended the expiration date on
   897,000 options from the Nonqualified Stock Option Plan with exercise prices
   ranging from $1.05 to $1.94. The options originally expired from January 2003
   to October 2003, but were extended to expiration dates ranging from January
   2005 to October 2005. Each of these two dates was considered a new
   measurement date. At each of the dates of modification, the exercise price of
   the options exceeded the fair market value of the Company's common stock and
   no compensation expense was recorded. As of September 30, 2004, all options
   remain outstanding.

   In June 2004, the vesting of 10,700 nonqualified stock options was
   accelerated for an employee leaving the Company. Compensation expense of
   $7,597 was recorded for the modification.

   Incentive  Stock  Option  Plan--At  September  30,  2004,  the  Company has
   collectively  authorized  the issuance of 4,100,000  shares of common stock

                                      F-21



   under the  Incentive  Stock Option  Plan.  Options vest after a one-year to
   three-year  period and expire no later than ten years after the grant date.
   Terms of the options are to be  determined  by the  Company's  Compensation
   Committee, which administers all of the plans. Only the Company's employees
   and directors are eligible to be granted options under the Incentive Plan.

   During fiscal year 2001, the Company extended the expiration date on 50,000
   options at $2.87 from the Incentive Stock Option Plan. The options were to
   expire November 1, 2001, and were extended to November 1, 2002. The options
   had originally been granted in November 1991. November 1, 2001 was considered
   a new measurement date; however, the exercise price on all the options
   modified exceeded the fair market value of the Company's common stock, and
   therefore, no compensation expense was recorded. The options were further
   extended to November 1, 2005. There was no compensation expense recorded
   because the exercise price on the options exceeded the fair market value of
   the Company's common stock.

   In July 2001, the Company repriced 816,066 outstanding employee and director
   stock options under the Incentive Stock Option Plan that were priced over
   $2.00 down to $1.05. In accordance with FIN 44, such repriced options are
   considered to be variable options. During the year ended September 30, 2001,
   compensation charges of $228,940 were recorded in the consolidated statement
   of operations and unearned compensation of $7,720 was recorded on the
   consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2001. The compensation expense
   was originally determined based upon the difference between the fair market
   value of the Company's common stock at the date of modification and the
   exercise price of each stock option. On September 30, 2001, the incremental
   compensation expense was determined based on the difference between the fair
   market value of the stock on September 30, 2001, and the exercise price, less
   the previously recorded expense. During the year ended September 30, 2002,
   this charge was completely reversed as the stock price declined. No expense
   was recorded during the year ended September 30, 2003 related to these
   options. As of September 30, 2004, 751,066 options remain outstanding.
   Changes in the fair market value of the Company's common stock may result in
   future changes in compensation expenses.

   In November 2001, the Company extended the expiration date on 56,000 options
   at $1.05 from the Incentive Stock Option Plan. The options were to expire
   between November 2002 and December 2002, and were extended by one year to
   November 2003 to December 2003. The options had originally been granted
   between November 1999 and December 1992. This date was considered a new
   measurement date with respect to the modified options. In addition, in
   February, April, and July of 2002, the Company modified options outstanding
   to employees who had been terminated in conjunction with their change in
   employee status so that all options vested on the date of termination. At
   each of the dates of modification, the exercise price of the options exceeded
   the fair market value of the Company's common stock and no compensation
   expense was recorded.

   In March 2003, the Company extended the expiration date on 105,500 options
   from the Incentive Stock Option Plan with exercise prices ranging from $1.05
   to $1.94. The options originally expired from August 2003 to March 2004 but
   were extended to expiration dates ranging from August 2005 to March 2006.
   This was considered a new measurement date with respect to all of the
   modified options. At each of the dates of modification, the exercise price of
   the options exceeded the fair market value of the Company's common stock and
   no compensation expense was recorded. As of September 30, 2004, all options
   remain outstanding.

   Other Options and  Warrants - In  connection with the 1992 public  offering,
   5,175,000  common stock  purchase  warrants were issued and  outstanding at
   September 30, 1997. Every ten warrants  entitled the holder to purchase one

                                      F-23



   share of common  stock at a price of $15.00  per share.  Subsequently,  the
   expiration  date of the warrants was extended to February  1998.  Effective
   June 1, 1997, the exercise price of warrants was lowered from $15 to $6 and
   only five warrants,  rather than 10 warrants, were required to purchase one
   share of common stock.  Subsequent to September 30, 1997,  warrant  holders
   who tendered five warrants and $6.00 between  January 9, 1998, and February
   7, 1998,  would receive one share of the Company's common stock and one new
   warrant.  The new warrants would permit the holder to purchase one share of
   the Company's common stock at a price of $10.00 per share prior to February
   7, 2000.  During  fiscal year 1998,  the  expiration  date of the  original
   warrants was extended to July 31, 1998, and 582,025 original  warrants were
   tendered for 116,405 common shares. As of September 30, 1999, the 4,592,975
   original  warrants had expired.  In January 2001, the Company  extended the
   expiration  date on the  remaining  116,405  warrants  to  August  2001 and
   repriced  them from  $10.00 to $3.00 per share.  In July 2001,  the Company
   extended the  expiration  date further to February  2002.  The  incremental
   value  at the  date of  these  modifications  collectively  of  $43,842  is
   recorded as an addition to additional  paid-in capital and also a charge to
   additional  paid-in capital since the Company is in an accumulated  deficit
   position. In January 2002, the Company extended the expiration date further
   to February 6, 2003.  The additional  incremental  value at the date of the
   modification  of $5,997 is recorded as an  addition to  additional  paid-in
   capital and also a charge to additional  paid-in  capital since the Company

   During fiscal year 1999, the Company granted a consultant options to purchase
   a total of 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The fair value of the

   $77,206 was expensed for these options. The compensation expense was
   determined using the Black-Scholes pricing methodology with the following
   assumptions:

         Expected stock risk volatility         98% to 104%
         Risk-free interest rate             3.12% to 4.12%
         Expected life of option                    3 Years
         Expected dividend yield                        -0-

   In connection with the April 2001 common stock purchase agreement discussed
   in Note 13, the Company issued 200,800 common stock purchase warrants. Each
   warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of common stock at $1.64
   per share. The warrants expired in April 2004. The warrants had a relative
   fair value of $200,000 calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing methodology
   with the following assumptions:

         Expected stock risk volatility                98%
         Risk-free interest rate                     3.12%

         Expected dividend yield                       -0-

                                      F-24



   The fair value of the warrants has been recorded as an addition to additional
   paid-in capital and also a charge to additional paid-in capital since the
   Company is in an accumulated deficit position.

   In August 2001, the Company issued 272,108 common stock purchase warrants in

   Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of common stock at
   $1.75 per share. The warrants were due to expired in July 2004, but were
   extended to July 2007. The extension of the warrants had a relative fair

         Risk-free interest rate               2.00%
         Expected life of warrant            3 Years
         Expected dividend yield                 -0-

   The fair value of the warrants has been recorded as an addition to additional
   paid-in capital and also a charge to additional paid-in capital since the
   Company is in an accumulated deficit position. These warrants are considered

   price equal to 110% of the closing price per share at any time prior to the
   date which is seven years after the closing of the transaction. The warrant
   price was  adjustable  if the  Company  sold any  additional  shares of its
   common stock or  convertible  securities for less than fair market value or
   at an amount  lower than the exercise  price of the Series F warrants.  The
   warrant price was adjusted every three months to an amount equal to 110% of
   the  conversion  price on such date,  provided that the adjusted  price was
   lower than the warrant exercise price on that date. If the warrant exercise
   price was  adjusted,  the number of shares of common  stock  issuable  upon
   exercise of the warrant was also adjusted accordingly. On the date that the
   
                                      F-25


   registration  statement was declared  effective by the Securities and
   Exchange  Commission  (SEC), and every three months following the effective
   date, the warrant exercise price was adjusted to an amount equal to 110% of
   the conversion  price of the convertible  debt on such date,  provided that
   the adjusted price was lower than the warrant  exercise price on that date.
   In  accordance  with the  terms of the  warrants,  the  exercise  price was
   adjusted to $0.65 per share on January 17,  2002.  On April 17,  2002,  the
   price was  adjusted to $0.24,  on July 17, the price was adjusted to $0.19,
   and on October  17, 2002 the price was  adjusted  to $0.153.  There were no
   further  adjustments in accordance with the terms of the warrants since the
   adjusted price would have been higher. As of September 30, 2002, $1,460,000
   of the notes had been converted into 5,611,344  shares of common stock.  As
   of November 30, 2002, all convertible  debt had been converted into a total

   warrants  were  exercised  for  proceeds of $66,632.  During the year ended
   September 30, 2004,  420,000 warrants were exercised in a cashless exercise
   as allowed by the contract. As of September 30, 2004 there are no remaining
   Series F warrants.

   Warrants were also issued in connection with the issuance of the convertible
   debt in July and September 2002. The Series G warrants allowed the holders to
   purchase up to 900,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price equal
   to $0.25 per share at any time prior to July 12, 2009. If the Company sells
   any additional shares of common stock, or any securities convertible into
   common stock at a price below the then applicable warrant exercise price, the
   warrant exercise price will be lowered to the price at which the shares were
   sold or the lowest price at which the securities were convertible, as the
   case may be. The warrant exercise price is adjusted every three months to an
   amount equal to 110% of the conversion price on such date, provided that the
   adjusted price is lower than the warrant exercise price on that date. If the
   warrant exercise price is adjusted, the number of shares of common stock
   issuable upon the exercise of the warrant would be increased by the product
   of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the
   warrant immediately prior to the sale multiplied by the percentage by which
   the warrant exercise price was reduced. In accordance with the terms of the
   warrants, the exercise price was adjusted to $0.18 on December 9, 2002. The
   exercise price was adjusted to $0.145 on March 9, 2003. In accordance with
   the terms of the warrants, there were no further adjustments since the price
   would have been higher. As of September 30, 2002, $50,000 of the notes had
   been converted into 277,778 shares of common stock. During the year ended
   September 30, 2003, all of the remaining convertible debt were converted into
   8,076,420 shares of common stock for a total conversion of 8,354,198 shares
   of common stock for Series G convertible debt. In addition, interest totaling
   $21,472 was converted into 109,428 shares of common stock during the year
   ended September 30, 2003. During the year ended September 30, 2003, 450,000
   warrants were exercised for proceeds of $65,250. As of September 30, 2004,
   450,000 Series G warrants remain outstanding.

   Warrants were also issued in connection with the issuance of the convertible
   debt in January and July 2003. The Series H warrants allowed the holders to
   purchase up to 1,100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price
   equal to $0.25 per share at any time prior to January 7, 2010. If the Company

                                      F-26



   sells any additional shares of common stock, or any securities convertible
   into common stock at a price below the then applicable exercise price of the
   Series H warrants, the exercise price of the Series H warrants will be
   lowered to the price at which the shares were sold or the lowest price at
   which the securities are convertible. If the exercise price of the Series H
   warrants is adjusted, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the
   exercise of the Series H warrants will be increased by the product of the
   number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrant
   immediately prior to the sale multiplied by the percentage by which the
   warrant exercise price is reduced. However, neither the exercise price nor
   the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Series H warrants will be
   adjusted as the result of shares issued in connection with a permitted
   financing. Every three months after June 26, 2003, the exercise price of the
   Series H warrants will be adjusted to an amount equal to 110% of the
   conversion price on such date, provided that the adjusted price is lower than
   the warrant exercise price on that date. During the year ended September 30,
   2003, $1,250,000 of the total Series H convertible debt were converted into
   3,003,929 shares of common stock. Additionally, interest of $26,230 was
   converted into 80,010 shares of common stock. As of October 2, 2003, all of

   September 2003, discussed in Note 13. There were 395,726 warrants issued at
   an exercise price of $0.83, which expire in September 2008. The fair value of
   these warrants of $244,867 was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing
   methodology with the following assumptions:

         Expected dividend yield                  -0-

   paid-in capital and also a charge to additional paid-in capital since the
   Company is in an accumulated deficit position.

   In addition, 30,000 options were issued to a consultant in May 2003 at a
   price of $0.41. The options vest over a three year period and expire in May

         Risk-free interest rate               2.0%
         Expected life of warrant           3 Years
         Expected dividend yield                -0-

   On December 1, 2003, CEL-SCI sold 2,999,964 shares of its common stock, to a

   2002. In December 2002, the Company negotiated an extension of the note with
   Cambrex. Per the agreement, the Company gave Cambrex certain equipment and
   surrendered a security deposit, which reduced the amount owed by $225,000.
   The remaining balance was payable pursuant to a note due January 2, 2004. In
   addition, the agreement required the Company to pay $150,000 on the note from
   the Series H convertible debt and 10% of all other future financing
   transactions, including draws on the equity line-of-credit. During the year
   ended September 30, 2003, the Company paid down the note by $485,524. The
   Company also recorded interest expense of $49,486 and amortized the remaining
   discount of $37,500 from the year ended September 30, 2002. There were also
   conversion features allowing Cambrex to convert either all or part of the
   note into shares of the Company's common stock. The principal balance of the
   note and any accrued interest were convertible into common stock at 90% of
   the average of the closing prices of the common stock for the three trading
   days  immediately  prior to the conversion date subject to a floor of $0.22
   per share. A beneficial conversion cost of $106,716 was recorded during the
   year ended  September 30, 2003 for the  difference  between the  conversion
   price of the stock  and the  market  price of the  stock.  Of this  amount,
   $75,800 was amortized  during the year ended  September  30, 2003,  leaving
   $30,916  as a  discount  to the  note  recorded  in the  balance  sheet  at
   September 30, 2003. The note was repaid in December, 2003 and the remaining
   discount of $30,916 was amortized.

11.COVANCE NOTE PAYABLE

   On October 8, 2002, the Company signed an agreement with Covance AG
   (Covance), a Swiss Corporation. Pursuant to the agreement, amounts owed to
   Covance totaling $199,928 as of June 30, 2003 were converted to note payable.
   The note was payable on January 2, 2004. Interest was payable at an annual
   rate of 8%. Until the entire amount was paid to Covance, Covance was entitled
   to receive 2% of any draw-down of the Company's equity credit line, 2% of any
   net funds received from outside financings of less than $1 million, 3% of any
   net funds received from outside financings greater than $1 million but less
   than $2 million and 4% of any net funds received from outside financings
   greater than $2 million. During the year ended September 30, 2003, the
   Company paid $15,598 on the note payable to Covance in accordance with the
   agreement. In December, 2003, the note was repaid along with accrued interest
   of $2,581.

12.CONVERTIBLE DEBT

   As of September 30, 2004, there is no outstanding convertible debt. The
   remaining Series H convertible debt at September 30, 2003 was converted to
   179,436 shares of common stock on October 2, 2003. Series G debt had all been
   converted as of June 2, 2003.

   In December 2001, the Company agreed to sell redeemable convertible debt and
   Series F warrants, to a group of private investors for proceeds of
   $1,600,000, less transaction costs of $276,410 of which $15,116 was included
   in deferred financing costs in the accompanying balance sheet as of September
   30, 2002. The notes bore interest at 7% per year and would have been due and
   payable December 31, 2003. Interest was payable quarterly beginning July 1,
   2002. The notes were secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and
   contain certain restrictions, including limitations on such items as
   indebtedness, sales of common stock and payment of dividends.

   The notes were convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at the
   holder's option determinable by dividing each $1,000 of note principal by 76%
   of the average of the three lowest daily trading prices of the Company's

                                      F-31


   common stock on the American Stock Exchange during the twenty trading days
   immediately prior to the closing date. The conversion price may not be less
   than a floor of $0.57; however the floor could have been lowered if the
   Company sold any shares of common stock or securities convertible to common
   stock at a price below the market price of the Company's common stock.
   Additionally, the notes were required to be redeemed by the Company at 130%
   upon certain occurrences; such as failure to file a Registration Statement to
   register the notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or the
   effectiveness of such statement lapses, delisting of the Company's common
   stock, completion of certain mergers or business combinations, filing
   bankruptcy, and exceeding its drawdown limits under the Company's equity line
   of credit.

   So long as the notes remained outstanding, the note-holders had a first right
   of refusal to participate in any subsequent financings involving the Company.
   If the Company had entered into any subsequent financing on terms more
   favorable than the terms governing the notes and warrants, then the
   note-holders could have exchanged notes and warrants for the securities sold
   in the subsequent financing.

   The entire balance of the convertible debt was initially offset by a discount
   of $1,600,000 which represented the relative fair value of the Series F
   warrants of $763,000 and a beneficial conversion discount of $837,000. The
   discount on outstanding convertible debt was amortized to interest expense as
   the notes were converted. As of September 30, 2002, $1,460,000 of the notes
   had been converted into 5,611,344 shares of common stock. In addition,
   $1,512,500 of the discount had been amortized to interest expense as of
   September 30, 2002. As of November 30, 2002, all convertible debt had been
   converted into a total of 6,592,461 shares of the Company's common stock and
   all of the discount had been amortized to interest expense. All deferred
   financing costs had also been amortized to interest expense as of November
   30, 2002.

   In July and September 2002, the Company sold convertible debt, plus Series G
   warrants, to a group of private investors for $1,300,000 less transaction
   costs of $177,370, of which $161,879 was included in deferred financing costs
   in the accompanying balance sheet as of September 30, 2002. The notes bore
   interest at 7% per year and were due and payable September 9, 2004. Interest
   was payable quarterly beginning October 1, 2002. The notes were secured by
   substantially all of the Company's assets and contained certain restrictions,
   including limitations on such items as indebtedness, sales of common stock
   and payment of dividends. At the holder's option the notes were convertible
   into shares of the Company's common stock equal in number to the amount
   determined by dividing each $1,000 of note principal to be converted by the
   Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is 76% of the average of the three
   lowest daily trading prices of the Company's common stock on the American
   Stock Exchange during the 15 trading days immediately prior to the conversion
   date. The Conversion Price could not be less than $0.18. However, if the
   Company's common stock traded for less than $0.24 per share for a period of
   20 consecutive trading days, the $0.18 minimum price would no longer have
   been applicable. The Conversion Price would have declined from 76% to 60% if
   (i) on any trading day after September 9, 2002 the closing daily price of the
   Company's common stock multiplied by the total number of shares of common
   stock traded on that day is less than $29,977, (ii) the Company defaulted in
   the performance of any material covenant, condition or agreement with the
   holders of the notes or, (iii) the Company's common stock was delisted from
   the American Stock Exchange.

   If the Company sold any additional shares of common stock, or any securities
   convertible into common stock at a price below the then applicable Conversion
   Price, the Conversion Price would have been lowered to the price at which the

                                      F-32


   shares were sold or the lowest price at which the securities were
   convertible, as the case may be. If the Company had sold any additional
   shares of common stock, or any securities convertible into common stock at a
   price below the market price of the Company's common stock, the Conversion
   Price would have been lowered by a percentage equal to the price at which the
   shares were sold or the lowest price at which the securities were
   convertible, as the case may be, divided by the then prevailing market price
   of the Company's common stock.

   So long as the notes remained outstanding, the note holders had a first right
   of refusal to participate in any subsequent financings involving the Company.
   If the Company had entered into any subsequent financing on terms more
   favorable than the terms governing the notes and warrants, then the note
   holders could have exchanged notes and warrants for the securities sold in
   the subsequent financing. A portion of the proceeds was initially offset by a
   discount of $690,706, which represents the relative fair value of the Series
   G warrants of $83,340 and a beneficial conversion discount of $677,140. As of
   September 30, 2002, $50,000 of the notes had been converted into 277,778
   shares of common stock. In addition, $27,496 of the discount on the debt had
   been amortized to interest expense. During the year ended September 30, 2003,
   the balance of the notes were converted into an additional 8,076,420 shares
   of common stock. In addition, interest totaling $21,472 was converted into
   109,428 shares of common stock during the year ended September 30, 2003. All
   of the remaining discount and deferred financing costs were amortized to
   interest expense during the year ended September 30, 2003.

   In January and July 2003, the Company sold convertible debt, plus Series H
   warrants to purchase up to 1,100,000 shares of common stock, to a group of
   private investors for $1,350,000 less transaction costs of approximately
   $220,419, of which $16,243 is included in deferred financing costs in the
   accompanying balance sheet as of September 30, 2003. The first funds,
   totaling $600,000, were received in January 2003 and the balance of $750,000
   was received on July 2, 2003. The notes bore interest at 7% per year. The
   first notes were due and payable January 7, 2005 and the second notes were
   due and payable July 7, 2005. Interest was payable quarterly. The notes were
   secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and contained certain
   restrictions, including limitations on such items as indebtedness, sales of
   common stock and payment of dividends. At the holders' option the notes were
   convertible into shares of the Company's common stock equal in number to the
   amount determined by dividing each $1,000 of note principal to be converted
   by the conversion price. The conversion price defaulted to 60% of the average
   of the three lowest daily trading prices of the Company's common stock on the
   American Stock Exchange during the 15 trading days immediately prior to the
   conversion date in the event of default. On May 8, 2003, the Company signed
   an amendment to the agreement that prevented the conversion price from
   defaulting to 60%. In the agreement, the conversion price declined to 70% of
   the average of the three lowest daily trading prices of the Company's common
   stock if the price of the stock climbs over $0.50. If the Company sold any
   additional shares of common stock, or any securities convertible into common
   stock at a price below the then applicable conversion price, the conversion
   price would have been lowered to the price at which the shares were sold or
   the lowest price at which the securities were convertible. On May 30, 2003,
   the price of the Company's stock rose above $0.50. In accordance with the
   agreement, the discount percentage changed from 76% to 70%. This change
   increased the discount on the debt that the Company recorded for the Series H
   convertible debt by $67,669 and was included in the $1,054,647 total
   discount.

   During the year ended September 30, 2003, $1,250,000 of the notes had been
   converted into 3,003,929 shares of common stock. Additionally, $1,023,731 of

                                      F-33


   the total discount of $1,054,647 had been amortized to interest expense.
   Interest of $26,230 was converted into 80,010 shares of common stock during
   the year ended September 30, 2003. As of October 2, 2003, all of the Series H
   notes had been converted into a total of 3,183,358 shares of common stock and
   total interest of $32,914 had been converted into 83,227 shares of common
   stock.

13. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

   During December 1997, the Company issued 10,000 shares of Series D Preferred
   Stock for $10,000,000. The issuance included 550,000 Series A Warrants and
   550,000 Series B Warrants. The number of common shares issuable upon
   conversion of the Preferred Shares is determinable by dividing $1,000 by
   $8.28 prior to September 19, 1998, or at any time at which the Company's
   common stock is $3.45 or less for five consecutive days. On or after
   September 19, 1998, the number of common shares to be issued upon conversion
   is determined by dividing $1,000 by the lesser of (1) $8.28 or (2) the
   average price of the stock for any two trading days during the ten trading
   days preceding the conversion date. The Series A Warrants are exercisable at
   any time for $8.62 prior to December 22, 2001, and the Series B Warrants are
   exercisable at any time for $9.31 prior to December 22, 2001. Each warrant
   entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock. At September 30,
   1998, 998 shares of Series D Preferred Stock had been converted into 441,333
   shares of common stock. At September 30, 1999, 9,002 shares of Series D
   Preferred Stock had been converted into 4,760,127 shares of common stock.
   There are no remaining shares of Series D Preferred Stock. All Series A and
   Series B Warrants issued expired December 22, 2001. In connection with the
   Company's December 1997 $10,000,000 Series D Preferred Stock offering, the
   Series A and Series B warrants were assigned a relative fair value of
   $1,980,000 in accordance with APB No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and
   Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants, (APB 14) and were recorded as
   additional paid-in capital. The $1,980,000 allocated to the warrants was
   accreted immediately.

   In April 2001, the Company signed a common stock purchase agreement that
   allowed the Company at its discretion to draw up to $10 million of Common
   stock in increments of a minimum of $100,000 and the maximum of $2 million
   for general operating requirements. The Company was restricted from entering
   into any other equity line of credit arrangement and the agreement expired in
   June 2003. As discussed in Note 6, the Company issued 200,800 warrants to the
   issuer pursuant to this agreement. During the year ended September 30, 2002,
   the Company sold 2,553,174 shares of its common stock pursuant to this
   agreement for net proceeds of $1,366,797. During the year ended September 30,
   2003, the Company sold 2,877,786 shares of its common stock pursuant to this
   agreement for net proceeds of $725,000.

   During fiscal year 2001, the Company issued 522,108 shares of common stock in
   two private offerings of common stock. Pursuant to the private offerings, one
   of the investors also received warrants to purchase 272,108 shares of common
   stock as discussed in Note 6.

   During August 2001, three private investors exchanged shares of the Company's
   common stock and remaining Series D Warrants, which they owned, for 6,288
   shares of the Company's Series E Preferred Stock. These investors also
   exchanged their Series A and Series C Warrants for new Series E Warrants as
   discussed in Note 6. The Preferred shares are entitled to receive cumulative


                                      F-34


   annual dividends in an amount equal to $60 per share and have liquidation
   preferences equal to $1,000 per share. Each Series E Preferred share is
   convertible into shares of the Company's common stock on the basis of one
   Series E Preferred share for shares of common stock equal in number to the
   amount determined by dividing $1,000 by the lesser of $5 or 93% of the
   average closing bid prices (Conversion Price) of the Company's common stock
   for the five days prior to the date of each conversion notice. The Series E
   Preferred stock has no voting rights and is redeemable at the Company's
   option at a price of 120% plus accrued dividends until August 2003 when the
   redemption price will be fixed at 100%. During the year ended September 30,
   2002, the Company incurred $202,987 in dividends. Dividends paid in common
   stock totaled $133,103, interest expense on unpaid dividends was $9,404 and
   accrued dividends and interest payable was $78,436 at September 30, 2002. For
   the year ended September 30, 2003, the Company incurred $32,101 in
   dividends.  During the year ended September 30, 2003, $99,624 in accrued
   dividends and interest were converted into 97,389 shares of common stock.

   All outstanding shares of the Company's Series E Preferred Stock, 39 shares,
   were automatically converted on August 17, 2003, (the Automatic Conversion
   Date) into 47,531 common shares (the Automatic Conversion Shares). The number
   of common shares for the conversion is 200% times the quotient obtained by
   dividing $1,000 by the Conversion Price.

   In addition, the Company issued 23,758 common stock purchase warrants, which
   was one warrant for each share of the Series E Preferred stock outstanding as
   of August 17, 2003, to acquire shares equal to 33% of the Automatic
   Conversion Shares at an exercise price of 110% of the volume weighted average
   price for the five trading days preceding the date of issuance. Since the
   terms of these warrants were contingent, no accounting has been given to such
   warrants in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of
   September 30, 2002. As of September 30, 2003, the warrants were valued using
   Black Scholes methodology as discussed in Note 6 and the resulting costs of
   $10,912 were recorded as a deemed dividend as a debit and an offsetting
   credit to additional paid-in capital as the Company is in a deficit position.
   See Note 6 for further discussion of the warrants issued at the time the
   Preferred stock converted to common stock.

   The common stock, preferred stock and warrants exchanged had different
   rights, preferences and terms. However, since the equity securities were
   exchanged for equity securities, the exchange had no effect on the Company's
   total stockholders' equity. In connection with the exchange, the total
   implied value of the equity securities received was $8,957,000 of which
   $848,000 represented the relative fair value of the warrants which was
   recorded to additional paid-in capital and the remaining value of $8,109,000
   was allocated to preferred stock. The Series E Warrants were valued using the
   Black-Scholes pricing methodology with the following assumptions:

                  Expected stock risk volatility      105%
                  Risk-free interest rate            3.12%
                  Expected life of option          3 Years
                  Expected dividend yield              -0-

   Pursuant to the exchange, the holders received a beneficial conversion
   discount in the amount of $5,365,381, which was accreted to additional
   paid-in capital over a two-year period. During the years ended September 30,
   2003, September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001, $76,720, $1,444,757 and

                                      F-35


   $317,419, respectively, of the beneficial conversion discount was accreted.
   During the year ended September 30, 2002, 4,671 shares of the Series E
   Preferred Stock were converted into 4,282,150 shares of common stock. During
   the year ended September 30, 2003, 1,192 shares of the Series E Preferred
   stock were converted into 1,018,439 shares of common stock. As of September
   30, 2003, there were no shares of Series E Preferred stock remaining.

   In October 2001, the Company issued 150,000 shares of common stock in a
   private offering for proceeds of $150,000. The investor also received
   warrants which entitled the holder to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock
   at $1.50 per share. These warrants expire October 5, 2004.

   In May 2003,  the  Company  sold  1,100,000  shares of common  stock and an
   additional  1,100,000 warrants to purchase common stock in conjunction with
   a  marketing  agreement  as  discussed  in Note 14.  The  Company  received
   proceeds  of  $500,000  for  the  stock  and  warrants.  The  warrants  are
   exercisable at a price of $0.47 per share. The warrants  initially  expired
   May 30, 2006. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the expiration
   was extended to May 30, 2008.

   In September 2003, the Company signed a common stock purchase agreement that
   allowed the Company at its discretion to draw up to $10 million of common
   stock in increments of a minimum of $100,000 and a maximum amount that can be
   drawn down at any one time that will be determined at the time of the
   drawdown request, using a formula contained in the agreement. The Company is
   restricted from entering into any other equity line of credit arrangement
   until the earlier of the expiration of the agreement or two years from the
   date of registration. As discussed in Note 6, the Company issued 395,726
   warrants to the issuer at a price of $0.83 and the warrants expire September
   16, 2008 pursuant to the agreement. Expenses of $40,600 were recorded to
   additional paid-in capital as a cost of equity related - transaction during
   the year ended September 30, 2003. During the year ended September 30, 2004,
   the company sold 307,082 shares of its common stock pursuant to this
   agreement for gross proceeds of $340,000, net of related costs of $4,090.

   On December 1, 2003,  CEL-SCI sold 2,999,964 shares of its common stock, to
   a group of private institutional investors for approximately $2,550,000, or
   $0.85 per share.  There were associated  costs of $93,159.  As part of this
   transaction,  the  investors  in the  private  offering  received  Series J
   warrants which allow the investors to purchase  991,003 shares of CEL-SCI's
   common stock at a price of $1.32 per share at any time prior to December 1,
   2006. See discussion of valuation of warrants in Note 6.

   On May 4, 2004, the CEL-SCI sold 6,402,439  shares of its common stock to a
   group of private institutional  investors at $0.82 per share for $5,250,000
   and  associated  costs  of  $498,452.  As  part of  this  transaction,  the
   investors  in the  private  offering  received  warrants  which  allow  the
   investors to purchase 76,642 shares of CEL-SCI's common stock at a price of
   $1.37  per  share  at any time  prior to May 4,  2009.  See  discussion  of
   valuation of warrants in Note 6.

14. MARKETING AGREEMENT

   On May 30, 2003, the Company and Eastern Biotech signed an agreement to
   develop both Multikine and CEL-1000, and their derivatives and improvements,
   in three Eastern European countries: Greece, Serbia and Croatia. Eastern
   Biotech also has the exclusive right to sales in these three countries. As
   part of the agreement, Eastern Biotech gained the right to receive a 1%
   royalty on the future net sales of these two products and their derivatives

                                      F-36


   and improvements worldwide. Eastern Biotech also purchased 1,100,000 shares
   of common stock and warrants, which allow the holder to purchase up to
   1,100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price equal to $0.47. The
   Company received proceeds of $500,000 for these shares and warrants. Because
   the Company did not register these shares prior to September 30, 2003, the
   royalty percentage increased to 2%. Eastern Biotech did not meet certain
   clinical development milestones within one year, and therefore, it lost the
   right to sell both products in these three countries.

15. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

   Basic earnings per share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing
   net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted
   average of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the
   potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
   common stock (convertible preferred stock, warrants to purchase common stock
   and common stock options using the treasury stock method) were exercised or
   converted into common stock. The Company had 4,104,529, 4,906,527 and
   11,118,168 potentially dilutive securities outstanding at September 30, 2004,
   2003 and 2002, respectively, that were not included in the computation of
   diluted loss per share because to do so would have been antidilutive for all
   periods presented. The loss attributable to common stockholders includes the
   impact of the accretion of the beneficial conversion feature of Series E
   Preferred Stock and the accrual of cumulative preferred stock dividends.

16.  SEGMENT REPORTING

   SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
   Information" establishes standards for reporting information regarding
   operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected
   information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports
   issued to stockholders. SFAS No. 131 also establishes standards for related
   disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating
   segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate
   discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief
   operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how
   to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company's chief decision
   maker, as defined under SFAS No. 131, is the Chief Executive Officer. To
   date, the Company has viewed its operations as principally one segment, the
   research and development of certain drugs and vaccines. As a result, the
   financial information disclosed herein, materially represents all of the
   financial information related to the Company's principal operating segment.

Item 14. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

      Section 7-109-102 of the Colorado Revised Statutes and CEL-SCI's Bylaws
provides that CEL-SCI may indemnify any and all of its officers, directors,
employees or agents or former officers, directors, employees or agents, against
expenses actually and necessarily incurred by them, in connection with the
defense of any legal proceeding or threatened legal proceeding, except as to
matters in which such persons shall be determined to not have acted in good
faith and in the best interest of CEL-SCI.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

      In May 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with Eastern Biotech
which provided Eastern Biotech with the following (i) the exclusive right to
distribute MULTIKINE and CEL-1000 in Greece, Serbia and Croatia, (ii) a royalty
equal to 1% of the Company's net sales of MULTIKINE and CEL-1000 prior to May
30, 2033, (iii) 1,100,000 shares of the Company's common stock and, (iv)
warrants which allow Eastern Biotech to purchase an additional 1,100,000 shares
of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.47 per share at any time prior to
May 30, 2006.

      In July 2003, the Company issued 120,608 shares of its common stock to
certain employees and directors in lieu of salary and fees.

      In August 2003, the Company issued 47,831 shares of its common stock in
payment of approximately $26,000 in accrued and unpaid dividends which were owed
to a holder of the Company's Series E preferred stock.

     The foregoing  securities  were not issued under the Securities Act of 1933
but were issued or sold in reliance upon the exemption  provided by Section 4(2)
of the Act. The persons who acquired these securities were either  accredited or



sophisticated  investors.  The securities were acquired for investment  purposes
only  and  without  a view to  distribution.  The  persons  who  acquired  these
securities  were  informed and advised  about  matters  concerning  the Company,
including the  Company's  business,  financial  affairs and other  matters.  The
investors  acquired  these  shares  for their  own  accounts.  The  certificates
representing  the securities  bear legends stating that they may not be offered,
sold  or  transferred  other  than  pursuant  to an  applicable  exemption  from
registration.  The preferred shares and warrants are "restricted"  securities as
that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(1) Filed with original registration statement.

Item 17. Undertakings.


      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

      (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement.

            (i) To include any prospectus required by Section l0(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of l933;

            (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement;

            (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement, including
(but not limited to) any addition or deletion of a managing underwriter.

         (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of l933, each such post-effective amendment 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.

         (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of l933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the 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 of whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.







                                POWER OF ATTORNEY

     The  registrant  and each  person  whose  signature  appears  below  hereby
authorizes the agent for service named in this Registration Statement, with full
power to act alone,  to file one or more  amendments  (including  post-effective
amendments)  to this  Registration  Statement,  which  amendments  may make such
changes  in  this  Registration  Statement  as  such  agent  for  service  deems
appropriate,  and the Registrant and each such person hereby appoints such agent
for service as attorney-in-fact, with full power to act alone, to execute in the
name and in behalf of the  Registrant and any such person,  individually  and in
each capacity stated below, any such amendments to this Registration Statement.

                                   SIGNATURES

      Pursuant  to  the  requirements  of the  Securities  Act  of  l933,  the
Registrant  certifies that it has reasonable  grounds to believe that it meets
all the  requirements  for  filing  on  Form  S-1 and  has  duly  caused  this
Registration  Statement  to be  signed  on  its  behalf  by  the  undersigned,
thereunto duly  authorized,  in the City of Vienna,  Commonwealth of Virginia,
on the 31st day of January 2005.
