I am assisting Michael Tippie, a shareholder and former key manager at CNS Response, in distributing a letter meant for shareholders. It appears below. This will be posted on my web site at http://www.leonardjbrandt.com/proxy along with other letters received.  For your convenience a proxy card is also attached.

Shareholders of CNS Response:

I served as the VP Business Development for CNS Response from 2005 to 2007.  I helped Len raise the money in the public financing with Brean, Murray in 2007.  I have known Len for many years and first worked under him as an Associate at Norwest Venture Capital from 1989-1991.  I have great respect for Len’s capabilities, creativity and ability to monetize early-stage life science opportunities.

I was charged with the responsibility of identifying the opportunities in using rEEG and the rEEG database to determine new uses for existing, approved drugs both individually as well as in combination and in laying the groundwork for and attempting to commercialize these opportunities.   I have extensive prior pharmaceutical and biotechnology business development experience, and have done deals with 14 out of the top 20 pharma companies previously.  I worked very closely with Len in identifying and pursuing the therapeutic opportunities at CNS Response.  To the best of my knowledge, he is the only one in the company with detailed knowledge of the therapeutic opportunities, the relevant relationships in pharma as well as the prior experience base to be able to extract value for CNS Response shareholders via corporate partnerships in this area.  In addition, Len has significant talents in being able to sell a vision, and that will be a necessary element of a strategic pharma alliance for the company at this stage.

The randomized, double-blind, active-controlled trial of rEEG is the component that we needed to move potential pharmaceutical partner’s interest to action.  Now that that study is about to be announced, presuming the results are positive, the opportunity to commercialize the therapeutic opportunity in rEEG is at hand.  I can think of few people better suited to commercialize this opportunity than Len Brandt.  And it is an extraordinarily large opportunity for the company, perhaps dwarfing the opportunity, in the near term at least, on the service side.

I hope this is of some use to you as you deliberate about the future of CNS Response.

Feel free to call me for clarification.

Best regards,

Michael Tippie
VP, Business Development
