Tapestry Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces Receipt Of Going Concern Qualification In Fiscal Year 2005 Audit Report

BOULDER, Colo., March 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tapestry Pharmaceuticals, Inc. today announced, as required by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, that it received a going concern qualification in the audit report that was included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In February 2006, Tapestry entered into an agreement that provides for the sale of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock for gross proceeds of $25.5 million. This financing is expected to close in April 2006, subject to stockholder approval and other customary closing conditions. We believe that receipt of the proceeds from such financing would address the issues giving rise to the going concern qualification.
