Risks Related to our Financial Results and Need for Additional Financing
 WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY. WE HAVE INCURRED LOSSES FROM OUR OPERATIONS SINCE INCEPTION AND
ANTICIPATE LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY UNLESS
WE OBTAIN REGULATORY APPROVAL AND MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF OUR PRODUCT CANDIDATES. WE WILL NEED
SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL FUNDING IN ORDER TO CONTINUE OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS. IF WE ARE UNABLE
TO SECURE SUCH FUNDING ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS, WE WILL NEED TO CEASE OPERATIONS, SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE,
DELAY OR CEASE ONE OR MORE OF OUR RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS, OR SURRENDER RIGHTS TO SOME OR
ALL OF OUR TECHNOLOGIES. IF WE VIOLATE A DEBT COVENANT OR DEFAULT UNDER OUR DEBT AGREEMENTS, WE MAY
NEED TO CEASE OPERATIONS OR REDUCE , CEASE OR DELAY ONE OR MORE OF OUR RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMS, ADJUST OUR CURRENT BUSINESS PLAN AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

OUR ESTIMATES OF OUR LIABILITY UNDER OUR BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS LEASE MAY CHANGE.
  Risks Related to Commercialization
 OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON OUR ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP OUR PRODUCT CANDIDATES INTO COMMERCIAL
PRODUCTS.
  EVEN IF WE RECEIVE APPROVAL TO MARKET OUR DRUG CANDIDATES, THE MARKET MAY NOT BE RECEPTIVE TO OUR
DRUG CANDIDATES UPON THEIR COMMERCIAL INTRODUCTION, WHICH COULD PREVENT US FROM SUCCESSFULLY
COMMERCIALIZING OUR PRODUCTS AND FROM BEING PROFITABLE.
   
    
    The timing of our receipt of any marketing approvals, the terms of any approval and the
countries in which approvals are obtained;

    The success of our education and marketing programs;
    
    The sales and marketing efforts of competitors; and
    
    The availability and amount of government and third-party payor reimbursement.
  ACQUISITIONS PRESENT MANY RISKS, AND WE MAY NOT REALIZE THE ANTICIPATED FINANCIAL AND STRATEGIC
GOALS FOR ANY SUCH TRANSACTIONS.
  
    
    We may find that the acquired company or assets do not further our business strategy,
or that we overpaid for the company or assets, or that economic conditions change, all of
which may generate a future impairment charge;
    
    We may have difficulty integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired
business, and may have difficulty retaining the key personnel of the acquired business;
    
    We may have difficulty incorporating the acquired technologies;
    
    We may encounter technical difficulties or failures with the performance of the
acquired technologies or drug products or may experience unfavorable results in the
clinical studies related to such technologies or products;
    
    We may face product liability risks associated with the sale of the acquired companys
products;
    
    Our ongoing business and managements attention may be disrupted or diverted by
transition or integration issues and the complexity of managing diverse locations;
    
    We may have difficulty maintaining uniform standards, internal controls, procedures and
policies across locations;
    
    The acquisition may result in litigation from terminated employees or third-parties;
and
    
    We may experience significant problems or liabilities associated with product quality,

Risks Related to Regulation
 IF OUR PRECLINICAL TESTING AND CLINICAL TRIALS ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL, WE WILL NOT OBTAIN REGULATORY
APPROVAL FOR COMMERCIAL SALE OF OUR PRODUCT CANDIDATES.
        
    
    Ongoing discussions with the FDA or comparable foreign authorities regarding the scope

    Delays in enrolling patients and volunteers into clinical trials;
    
    Lower than anticipated retention rate of patients and volunteers in clinical trials;
    
    Negative or inconclusive results of clinical trials or adverse medical events during a
clinical trial could cause a clinical trial to be repeated or a program to be terminated,
even if other studies or trials related to the program are successful;
    
    Insufficient supply or deficient quality of drug candidate materials or other materials
necessary for the conduct of our clinical trials;
    
    Serious and unexpected drug-related side-effects experienced by participants in our clinical trials; or
    
    The placement of a clinical trial on hold.
 OUR PRODUCT CANDIDATES ARE SUBJECT TO RIGOROUS REGULATORY REVIEW AND, EVEN IF APPROVED, REMAIN
SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE REGULATION.
    
    
    Regulatory approvals may impose significant limitations on the uses for which any
approved products may be marketed;
    
    Any marketed product and its manufacturer are subject to periodic reviews and audits,
and any discovery of previously unrecognized problems with a product or manufacturer could
result in suspension or limitation of approvals;
    
    Changes in existing regulatory requirements, or the enactment of additional regulations
or statutes, could prevent or affect the timing of our ability to achieve regulatory
compliance. Federal and state laws, regulations and policies may be changed with possible
retroactive effect, and how these rules actually operate can depend heavily on
administrative policies and interpretation over which we have no control, and we may
possess inadequate experience to assess their full impact upon our business; and
    
    The approval may impose significant restrictions on the indicated uses, conditions for
use, labeling, advertising, promotion, marketing and/or production of such product, and may
impose ongoing requirements for post-approval studies, including additional research and
development and clinical trials.

OUR PRODUCTS COULD BE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS OR WITHDRAWAL FROM THE MARKET AND WE MAY BE SUBJECT
TO PENALTIES IF WE FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS, OR IF WE EXPERIENCE UNANTICIPATED
PROBLEMS WITH OUR PRODUCTS, WHEN AND IF ANY OF THEM ARE APPROVED.
  
    
    Restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;

    Refusal to permit the import or export of our products;
    
    Product seizure; and
    
    Injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.
 FAILURE TO OBTAIN REGULATORY APPROVAL IN FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS WOULD PREVENT US FROM MARKETING OUR
PRODUCTS ABROAD.
  FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS TEND TO IMPOSE STRICT PRICE CONTROLS WHICH MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR REVENUES,
IF ANY.

Risks Related to our Intellectual Property
 IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SECURE ADEQUATE PATENT PROTECTION FOR OUR TECHNOLOGIES, THEN WE MAY NOT BE ABLE
TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY AS A BIOTECHNOLOGY COMPANY.
   
    
    Our ability to protect our technologies could be delayed or negatively affected if the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, requires additional experimental
evidence that our technologies work;
    
    Our competitors may develop similar technologies or products, or duplicate any
technology developed by us;
    
    Our competitors may develop products which are similar to ours but which do not
infringe our patents or products;
    
    Our competitors may successfully challenge one or more of our patents in an
interference or litigation proceeding;
    
    Our patents may infringe the patents or rights of other parties who may decide not to
grant a license to us. We may have to change our products or processes, pay licensing fees
or stop certain activities because of the patent rights of third parties which could cause
additional unexpected costs and delays;
    
    Patent law in the fields of healthcare and biotechnology is still evolving and future
changes in such laws might conflict with our existing and future patent rights, or the
rights of others;
    
    Our collaborators, employees and consultants may breach the confidentiality agreements
that we enter into to protect our trade secrets and proprietary know-how. We may not have
adequate remedies for such breach; and
    
    There may be disputes as to the ownership of technological information developed by
consultants, scientific advisors or other third parties which may not be resolved in our
favor.
 WE IN-LICENSE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND IF WE FAIL TO COMPLY WITH OUR
OBLIGATIONS UNDER ANY OF THE RELATED AGREEMENTS, WE COULD LOSE LICENSE RIGHTS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO
DEVELOP OUR PRODUCT CANDIDATES.

commercialization of the technology for which the parties are collaborating; and
    
    The parties will not dispute the ownership rights to any technologies developed under
such collaborations.
 IF ONE OF OUR COLLABORATORS WERE TO CHANGE ITS STRATEGY OR THE FOCUS OF ITS DEVELOPMENT AND
COMMERCIALIZATION EFFORTS WITH RESPECT TO OUR RELATIONSHIP, THE SUCCESS OF OUR PRODUCT CANDIDATES
AND OUR OPERATIONS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
  
    
    The amount and timing of resources that our collaborators may devote to the product candidates;
    
    Our collaborators may experience financial difficulties;
    
    We may be required to relinquish important rights such as marketing and distribution rights;
    
    Should a collaborator fail to develop or commercialize one of our product candidates,
we may not receive any future milestone payments and will not receive any royalties for the
product candidate;
    
    Business combinations or significant changes in a collaborators business strategy may
also adversely affect a collaborators willingness or ability to complete its obligations
under any arrangement;
    
    A collaborator may not devote sufficient time and resources to any collaboration with
us, which could prevent us from realizing the potential commercial benefits of that
collaboration;
    
    A collaborator may terminate their collaborations with us, which could make it
difficult for us to attract new collaborators or adversely affect how we are perceived in
the business and financial communities; and

    A collaborator could move forward with a competing product candidate developed either
independently or in collaboration with others, including our competitors.
  Risks Related to Competition
 WE ARE ENGAGED IN HIGHLY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRIES DOMINATED BY LARGER, MORE EXPERIENCED AND BETTER
CAPITALIZED COMPANIES.
  
    
    Many of our potential competitors in the field of CNS research have significantly
greater experience than we do in completing preclinical and clinical testing of new
pharmaceutical products, the manufacturing and commercialization process, and obtaining FDA
and other regulatory approvals of products;
    
    Many of our potential competitors have products that have been approved or are in late
stages of development;
    
    Many of our potential competitors may develop products or other novel technologies that
are more effective, safer or less costly than any that we are developing;
    
    Many of our potential competitors have collaborative arrangements in our target markets
with leading companies and research institutions;
    
    The timing and scope of regulatory approvals for these products;
    
    The availability and amount of third-party reimbursement;
    
    The strength of our patent position;
    
    Many of our potential competitors are in a stronger financial position than us, and are
thus better able to finance the significant cost of developing, manufacturing and selling
new products; and
    
    Companies with established positions and prior experience in the pharmaceutical
industry may be better able to develop and market products for the treatment of those
diseases for which we are trying to develop products.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY, OUR PRODUCT CANDIDATES MAY BE RENDERED NONCOMPETITIVE OR
OBSOLETE.
  IF THIRD-PARTY PAYORS DO NOT ADEQUATELY REIMBURSE OUR CUSTOMERS FOR ANY OF OUR PRODUCTS THAT ARE
APPROVED FOR MARKETING, THEY MIGHT NOT BE ACCEPTED BY PHYSICIANS AND PATIENTS OR PURCHASED OR USED,
AND OUR REVENUES AND PROFITS WILL NOT DEVELOP OR INCREASE.
   
    
    Significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved health care products;
    
    Third-party payors are increasingly challenging the prices charged for medical products and services;
    
    Adequate insurance coverage and reimbursement may not be available to allow us to
charge prices for products which are adequate for us to realize an appropriate return on
our development costs. If adequate coverage and reimbursement are not provided for use of
our products, the market acceptance of these products will be negatively affected;
    
    Health maintenance organizations and other managed care companies may seek to negotiate
substantial volume discounts for the sale of our products to their members thereby reducing
our profit margins; and


    
    In recent years, bills proposing comprehensive health care reform have been introduced
in Congress that would potentially limit pharmaceutical prices and establish mandatory or
voluntary refunds. It is uncertain if any legislative proposals will be adopted and how
federal, state or private payors for health care goods and services will respond to any
health care reforms.
     MEDICARE PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE LEGISLATION AND FUTURE LEGISLATIVE OR REGULATORY REFORM OF THE
HEALTH CARE SYSTEM MAY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO SELL OUR PRODUCT CANDIDATES PROFITABLY.

WE HAVE NO MANUFACTURING CAPACITY AND LIMITED MARKETING INFRASTRUCTURE AND EXPECT TO BE HEAVILY
DEPENDENT UPON THIRD PARTIES TO MANUFACTURE AND MARKET APPROVED PRODUCTS.

USE OF THIRD PARTY MANUFACTURERS MAY INCREASE THE RISK THAT WE WILL NOT HAVE ADEQUATE SUPPLIES OF
OUR PRODUCT CANDIDATES.
  
    
    Reliance on the third party for regulatory compliance and quality assurance;
    
    The possible breach of the manufacturing agreement by the third party; and
    
    The possible termination or nonrenewal of the agreement by the third party, based on
its own business priorities, at a time that is costly or inconvenient for us.
  Risks Related to Employees and Growth
 IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RETAIN OUR KEY PERSONNEL AND/OR RECRUIT ADDITIONAL KEY PERSONNEL IN THE FUTURE,
THEN WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OPERATE EFFECTIVELY.
