Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Among these risks, trends and uncertainties are decisions by the U.S. Federal and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding whether and when to approve THELIN(tm) ; timing and outcome of regulatory action on competing products in the EU; the availability of financing and revenues sufficient to fund research and development of THELIN, TBC3711 and our other product candidates, commercial business operations and to repay our outstanding indebtedness; our estimate of the sufficiency of our existing capital resources; market acceptance of THELIN in the EU, Canada and Australia and the actual rate of acceptance; our ability to raise additional capital to fund cash requirements for future commercial and research and development operations; the accuracy of our estimates concerning market sizes and patient populations for PAH, diastolic heart failure, resistant hypertension and other therapeutic categories in which we are developing our products; the timing and cost of our clinical trials and the success of our drug development activities; the scope of our own patents and our ability to protect our patents and other intellectual property for THELIN, TBC3711 and our other products under development; potential delays in the timelines for initiating clinical trials, enrolling patients and obtaining results of clinical trials with respect to THELIN, TBC3711 and our other products under development; our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; reduced estimates concerning the PAH patient population and PAH diagnosis rates in markets where THELIN(tm) is approved; our inability to predict revenues from THELIN in the EU, Canada and Australia and expense levels in 2007 and beyond; the ability of our subsidiary to repay the notes secured by royalties on Argatroban sales by GSK; our ability to quickly and successfully commercialize THELIN in the EU, Canada and Australia; and the impact of reimbursement policies and government regulation of prices on THELIN(tm) revenues in the EU, Canada, and Australia as well as the speed with which pricing and reimbursement approvals and product launches for THELIN may be achieved in Italy and other countries of the EU, Canada and Australia. In particular, careful consideration should be given to cautionary statements made in the various reports Encysive Pharmaceuticals Inc. has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, and in its reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. The Company undertakes no duty to update or revise these forward-looking statements.
