Worldwide Market for Anti-Infectives (Antifungals, Antibacterials and Antivirals)

Dr. Michael Flavin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Advanced Life Sciences, commented: "We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead in 2010 as we pursue a focused strategy to position Restanza, our once-daily, oral antibiotic, for success on two major fronts: community acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) and biodefense. We plan to continue to work with the U S FoodFood and Drug Administration (FDA) to complete a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) that will lay the groundwork for initiating registration studies for development of Restanza in CABP. We are also continuing to work with Pfizer, our Asia-Pacific regional partner, on development and commercialization plans. In the area of biodefense, we plan to capitalize on our 2009 achievements, which included generating strong, positive data in four pivotal animal trials and receiving $3.8 million from the Department of Defense to study Restanza further as a potential broad-spectrum medical countermeasure. In 2010, we have an opportunity to secure additional non-dilutive capital through government development contracts which may also position us advantageously for procurement discussions with Department of Defense and Health and Human Services. We are also pursuing additional corporate partnerships as well as advancing additional formulations for hospital and pediatric indications with the goal of capturing the full value of the Restanza franchise." Full Year Expense Analysis, 2009 versus 2008:
Prabhavathi Fernandes, president and CEO of Cempra, said: "Bacterial pneumonia is a serious infection, particularly in the elderly population. Macrolides have been a mainstay of treatment for this and other indications but drug resistance has increased to more than 25% of clinical isolates. Doctors are looking for new and convenient alternatives and CEM-101 could be an important option. We look forward to advancing CEM-101 further into clinical development."
Commented Dr. Flavin: "The goal of our biodefense program is to attract development funding from the U S Government that will ultimately lead to the acquisition of Restanza for the Strategic National Stockpile. The notice that we received from BARDA gives us confidence that we can attract additional development funding in the near term and the clearly defined regulatory pathway for the biodefense indications established with FDA will significantly increase our prospects for further development and acquisition contracts with the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Defense."
