forward-looking statements are based on Human Genome Sciences' current
intent, belief and expectations. These statements are not guarantees of
future performance and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
are difficult to predict. Actual results may differ materially from these

model, its dependence on new technologies, the uncertainty and timing of
clinical trials, the Company's ability to develop and commercialize
products, its dependence on collaborators for services and revenue, its
substantial indebtedness and lease obligations, its changing requirements
and costs associated with planned facilities and clinical trials, intense
competition, the uncertainty of patent and intellectual property
protection, the Company's dependence on key management and key suppliers,
the uncertainty of regulation of products, the impact of future alliances
or transactions and other risks described in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Company will continue
to face risks related to animal and human testing, to the manufacture of
ABthrax and to FDA concurrence that ABthrax meets the requirements of the
ABthrax contract. If the Company is unable to meet the product requirements
associated with the ABthrax contract, the U.S. Government will not be
required to reimburse the Company for the costs incurred or to purchase any
ABthrax doses. Existing and prospective investors are cautioned not to
