Forward Looking Statements These materials and accompanying statements of management address our intended future operations, our management's perspective on future trends in the pharmaceutical industry, and other matters concerning the prospects for our business. These materials and accompanying statements of management (collectively, our "disclosures") constitute forward looking statements. The disclosures are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company may not be able to achieve any or all of the goals, plans or strategies described in or implied by the disclosures, and therefore may not be able to achieve financial results or level of performance that could be inferred from the disclosures. Failure to achieve any of these goals, or to execute our plans and strategies, may have an adverse effect on our future financial performance. Some of the factors that could contribute to our failure to achieve any particular result or level of performance include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 and our other periodic filings with the SEC, which may be accessed through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. The Company undertakes no obligation to update the disclosures for revisions or changes after the date of this presentation. 2
