2005 has been an excellent year for Hemispherx. Years of research, development, clinical trials and perseverance have led to growing recognition of the value of our scientific approach and product portfolio and have facilitated important collaborations, acquisitions and financings, all key steps on the path to successful commercialization. Our strategy going forward is to focus all efforts on regulatory approval and advantageous alliances, with the ultimate goal being increased shareholder value. Every clinical trial initiated, alliance struck and investment made in the past year was undertaken with these objectives in mind. We have enhanced our asset base and enriched our professional resources to provide us with the resources, relationships and expertise to achieve our objectives.
