facts, such as "anticipates," "estimates," "believes," "hopes,"

statements. These statements are subject to a number of
risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual
events or results in future periods to differ materially from what
is expressed in, or implied by, these statements. Soligenix
cannot assure you that it will be able to successfully develop,
achieve regulatory approval for or commercialize products based on
its technologies, particularly in light of the significant
uncertainty inherent in developing therapeutics and vaccines
against bioterror threats, conducting preclinical and clinical
trials of therapeutics and vaccines, obtaining regulatory approvals
and manufacturing therapeutics and vaccines, that product
development and commercialization efforts will not be reduced or
discontinued due to difficulties or delays in clinical trials or
due to lack of progress or positive results from research and
development efforts, that it will be able to successfully obtain
any further funding to support product development and
commercialization efforts, including grants and awards, maintain
its existing grants which are subject to performance requirements,
enter into any biodefense procurement contracts with the U.S.
Government or other countries, that it will be able to compete with
larger and better financed competitors in the biotechnology
industry, that changes in health care practice, third party
reimbursement limitations and Federal and/or state health care
reform initiatives will not negatively affect its business, or that
the U.S. Congress may not pass any legislation that would provide
additional funding for the Project BioShield program. In addition,
there can be no assurance as to timing or success of the Phase 3
clinical trial of SGX942 (dusquetide) as a treatment for oral
mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer receiving
chemoradiation therapy or the Phase 3 clinical trial of SGX301
(synthetic hypericin) for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell
lymphoma. There also can be no assurance as to timing or
success of the preclinical/clinical trials
of RiVax®,
that RiVax® will be
approved for the PRV program or the amount for which a PRV
for RiVax® can be sold. These and
other risk factors are described from time to time in filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited
to, Soligenix's reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K. Unless
