PharmAthene Response to DHHS Request for Proposals for Recombinant Protective Antigen Anthrax Vaccine Deemed Technically Acceptable and Within Competitive Range for Procurement Con...(l; believe; anticipate; intend; ...)

Date:9/15/2008

l;" "believe;" "anticipate;" "intend;" "plan;" "expect;" "estimate;" "could;" "may;" "should;" or similar statements are forward-looking statements. PharmAthene disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties include risk associated with the reliability of the results of the studies relating to human safety and possible adverse effects resulting from the administration of the Company's product candidates, unexpected funding delays and/or reductions or elimination of U.S. government funding for one or more of the Company's development programs, the award of government contracts to our competitors, unforeseen safety issues, unexpected determinations that these product candidates prove not to be effective and/or capable of being marketed as products, as well as risks detailed from time to time in PharmAthene's Form 10-K under the caption "Risk Factors" and in its other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

In particular, the receipt of notification from the DHHS that our proposal is technically acceptable and within the competitive range does not imply that we will ultimately be awarded a contract. The receipt from DHHS of notification does not in any way obligate the government to make a contract award to us. Furthermore, while DHHS has stated it plans to make awards by the end of this year, it is not legally obligated to do so and could significantly extend the time line for an award or decide not to make any awards under the solicitation. Finally, we are aware that at least one other bidder has received a similar notification from the DHHS and there may now or in the future be others. Even if we are selected to provide rPA vaccine to the Strategic National Stockpile, there can be no assurance that such an award will be for all or a significant portion of the 25 million dose procurement.
