Elliott Working Capital $394,564 Elliott International Working Capital $596,128 ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction. Each of Elliott and Elliott International acquired the Common Stock beneficially owned by it in the ordinary course of its purchasing, selling and trading in securities. EICA has acted as investment manager to Elliott International in connection with Elliott International's acquisition of beneficial ownership of Common Stock. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be acting in concert with CDC IV. CDC IV is a shareholder of the Issuer that beneficially owns approximately 26.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. CDC is controlled by its manager, CDC Operations, LLC ("CDC Operations"), and the principals of CDC Operations. For additional information with respect to CDC IV, please see the Schedule 13D of CDC IV, last amended on August 22, 2006. The Reporting Persons disclaim any beneficial ownership with respect to the shares of Common Stock owned by CDC IV. Depending upon market conditions and other factors that it may deem material, each of Elliott and Elliott International may purchase additional shares of Common Stock and/or related securities or may dispose of all or a portion of the Common Stock or related securities that it now beneficially owns or may hereafter acquire. On August 15, 2006, a non-binding letter of intent ("LOI") was sent to the Issuer proposing certain amendments to the Clinical Development and License Agreement, by and among Issuer, CDC IV, as successor in interest to Clinical Development Capital LLC and Arius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Clinical Development and License Agreement"). The LOI proposes that CDC IV will provide Issuer with additional funding for clinical development of BEMA(TM) Fentanyl and receive, in return for such additional funding, increased fees and royalties under the Clinical Development and License Agreement, as well as a warrant to purchase additional shares of the Issuer's common stock. Additionally, as a condition to amending the Clinical Development and License Agreement, CDC IV requested that the Issuer replace its current management and that CDC IV receive a seat on the Issuer's Board of Directors. On August 18, 2006, Issuer rejected the LOI. On August 21, 2006, CDC IV and Elliott sent a letter to the Issuer expressing their dissatisfaction with current operations and management. A copy of this letter is attached to CDC's Schedule 13D as Exhibit F. Elliott and Elliott International reserve the right to discuss and/or meet with management and other shareholders and/or formulate plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or its securities, including plans or proposals that seek to remove the Issuer's chief executive officer.
