Date:10/8/2008

1 clinical trial, the results of nonclinical mouse studies of Vaxfectin(R)-formulated protein-based influenza vaccines, and the results of a nonclinical mouse study of a Vaxfectin(R)-formulated TRP-2 peptide cancer vaccine. Risks and uncertainties include whether H5N1 influenza DNA vaccine Phase 1 clinical trial results will be confirmed in larger studies; whether nonclinical results from mouse studies will advance to human clinical testing, and if so, whether such testing will yield similar results; whether DNA vaccines against H5N1 influenza or any other targets will be successfully developed and commercialized; whether DNA vaccines will become alternatives to conventional vaccines; whether Vical or others will secure funding to advance the pandemic influenza DNA vaccine program; whether commercial partners or collaborators will pursue additional Vaxfectin(R) applications; whether any product candidates will be shown to be safe and efficacious in clinical trials; the timing of clinical trials; whether Vical or its collaborative partners will seek or gain approval to market any product candidates; the dependence of the company on its collaborative partners; and additional risks set forth in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements represent the company's judgment as of the date of this release. The company disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
