Forward-Looking Statements

In order to provide our investors with an understanding of our current results and future prospects, the referenced press release may contain statements that are forward looking. These forward-looking statements represent Biomira’s intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs and are based on our experience and our assessment of historical and future trends and the application of key assumptions relating to future events and circumstances.

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties related to our business and the general economic environment, many beyond our control. These risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements, including those predicting adequacy of financing and reserves on hand; currency exchange rate fluctuations; changes in general accounting policies; and general economic factors. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, we can give no assurance that our expectations are correct. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. For a detailed description of our risks and uncertainties, you are encouraged to review the official corporate documents filed with the securities regulators in Canada and the United States, including the risk factors described in our 2005 Annual Report.
