    We believe that vilazodone will be approved by the FDA. The PDUFA date is set for January 22,2011. The efficacy and safety data are consistent and robust across multiple studies andmodels.

    Stedivaze could be the magic bullet for cardiac stress testing and a bigger value driver forCLDA than vilazodone. Phase III trials are underway.

    We are updating coverage on Clinical Data, Inc. (NasdaqGM: CLDA) with a BUY rating, and we aresetting a 12-month price target of $33.00 for CLDA shares for the following reasons:

    PDUFA date for vilazodone quickly approaching. We expect continued momentum as we approach the January11, 2011, PDUFA date. Vilazodone is a new first-in-class treatment for depression due to its novel mechanism ofaction as both a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and a 5HT1A partial agonist. Vilazodones trialresults have been impressive with efficacy and safety data consistent and robust across multiple studies and

    models. We expect likely FDA approval to drive stock outperformance;

    Stedivaze (apadenoson) a potential best-in-class coronary vasodilator for cardiac stress testing is movingaggressively through its first Phase III program and readies for its second Phase III trial, expected to commencein the first quarter 2011. Data to date have demonstrated convincing efficacy and an excellent tolerable safetyprofile. We think Stedivaze has a high chance of success with excellent commercial potential; and

    Current discounted cash flow model supports a value of $33.00 per share.

    BUSINESSUPDATE

    VILAZODONE: ON TRACK FOR APPROVAL. The FDA has established a January 22, 2011,PDUFA date. Vilazodone is a novel, dual-acting serotonergic antidepressant, is a potent and selectiveserotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and partial agonist of the 5-hydroxytryptamine 1a (5-HT1A)receptor. Vilazodone has completed two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III

    clinical trials and a 52-week long-term safety study. The primary endpoints and multiple secondaryendpoints of each trial were achieved with statistical significance related to depression as measuredby the MADRS, HAM-D, and HAM-A scales. In addition, overall dropout rates were low. VilazodonesNDA filing is supported by data from nearly 3,000 patients who have received the drug safely with alow occurrence of side effects. In addition, there was no significant difference between placebo andvilazodone in terms of sexual dysfunction, as measured by validated scales (ASEX and CSFQ)showing numerical comparability to placebo.

    1Given that treatment emergence sexual dysfunction is a

    frequent adverse effect of most antidepressants and is one of the predominant reasons for prematuredrug discontinuation, the availability of an antidepressant that does not cause sexual dysfunctionwould provide a significant differentiator.2 Neutrality on body weight is also a positive. We believe thatupon approval, vilazodone will represent a major force in the depression market. We forecast peakannual sales reaching approximately $750 million.

    VILAZODONE EFFICACY AND SAFETY DATA WERE CONSISTENT AND ROBUST ACROSSMULTIPLE STUDIES AND MODELS.Presentations from this years American Psychiatric Association(APA) annual meeting include: (i) positive results from the second placebo-controlled Phase III clinicaltrial of vilazodone, (ii) results from a long-term, 52-week safety study, and (iii) results from twopharmacokinetic studies in patients with renal and hepatic impairment, respectively.3 Impressively,the efficacy and safety data were consistent and robust across the multiple studies and models.Vilazodone demonstrated a statistically-significant improvement in symptoms in major depressivedisorder patients compared to placebo in the second Phase III trial, replicating the results of the firstPhase III clinical trial. In the 52-week, long-term safety study, vilazodone was well-tolerated at a doseof 40 mg/day, the same dose level used in the second Phase III trial. Adverse events tended to occurearly in treatment and were mild to moderate. The pharmacokinetic studies find that no doseadjustment would be required for patients with renal and hepatic impairment. All of the data supportsvilazodones use as a treatment option for major depressive order and should support the NDA filing.

    PRECLINICAL DATA SUPPORT VILAZODONESUNIQUE DUAL MECHANISM OF ACTION ANDPOTENTIAL BENEFITS: ACCELERATED RESPONSE AND POTENCY ARE CRUCIAL FORDEPRESSED PATIENTS.At the Society of Biological Psychiatry (SOBP) meeting an exciting posterwas presented on vilazodone serotonin reuptake inhibition in vitro, showing both (i) potency 30-foldgreater than that of the SSRI fluoxetine and (ii) high selectivity for the inhibition of serotonin reuptake,compared to norepinephrine or dopamine reuptake.4 As a partial agonist, vilazodone has the ability toaffect both auto- and hetero-receptors. The activation of 5-HT1A auto-receptors accelerates thedesensitization of these receptors and potentiates the release of 5-HT throughout the brain, as wellas its SSRI-like effect, crucial to antidepressant efficacy. In a separate study in an in vivo rat model,findings suggest that vilazodone may potentially provide improved antidepressant effects versus anSSRI alone.5

    STEDIVAZE CONTINUES TO ADVANCE IN PHASE III CLINICAL TRIALS. Stedivaze(apadenoson) is a selective A2A receptor agonist in development for use as a pharmacologic stressagent in myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) scans, commonly called cardiac stress tests, used toidentify symptoms of coronary artery disease (CAD). We recently spoke with Dr. Robert C. Hendel,lead investigator and chair of the steering committee, who has been involved with various aspects ofthe drug since 2005, including serving as principal investigator in the Phase II clinical trial. He

    indicated that Stedivaze is an extremely exciting agent and data to date suggests that the agent iswell tolerated with an excellent safety profile, including no unexpected increase in side effects,including chest pains, shortness of breath, and flushing. Stedivaze is currently in a Phase III clinicaltrial (called the ASPECT-1 trial), which began in November 2009, and a second Phase III clinical trialis in the advanced planning stages. The two Phase III trials are expected to enroll approximately 750patients each over an 1824 month period from trial initiation. The primary endpoint of the ASPECT-1trial is non-inferiority to adenosine. Additionally, when Stedivaze Phase II data is compared toLexiscan Phase II data, it suggests that Stedivaze should be comparable to Lexiscan in terms ofefficacy, however Stedivaze should better Lexiscans side effect profile. We forecast annual peaksales of $448 million and a net present value of $398 million for the Stedivaze program.

    STEDIVAZE: TWO COMPLETED PHASE I TRIALS IN ASTHMA AND COPD PATIENTSEXPECTED TO EXPAND DRUGS UTILITY.Supporting the drugs safety and tolerability profile, earlierthis year, CLDA reported positive data from two Phase I clinical trials of Stedivaze in 49 patients with

    asthma and 50 patients with COPD, respectively, an important result because existing commercially-available cardiac stress agents are contraindicated or have warnings for use in asthma and COPDpatients. The positive Phase I results were also presented in two posters at the American Society ofNuclear Cardiology (ASNC) annual meeting in September 2010.

    FAMILION FRANCHISE OF GENETIC TESTS TO IDENTIFY INHERITED CARDIAC DISEASESCONTINUES TO GROW. FAMILY OF TESTS IN ONCOLOGY ALSO IN DEVELOPMENT. TheFAMILION tests generated revenue of approximately $3.3 million in Q1 ended June 30, 2010, up 7%from $3.0 million in Q1 2009. Gross profit margins increased to 47% in Q1 2010 from 36% in Q12009. A family of diagnostic tests in oncology based on FC gamma receptors is currently beingdeveloped with various collaborators. In particular, clinical trial results using the rituximab responsetest in follicular lymphoma are expected in the next 12 months.

    OUR VALUATION MODEL SUPPORTSVALUE OF $33.00 PER SHARE.WE REITERATE OURBUY RATING.We believe CLDA shares continue to offer an attractive investment opportunity as

    vilazodone quickly approaches its likely FDA approval by late January 2011. Vilazodone hasproduced efficacy and safety data that were consistent and robust across the multiple studies andmodels. Stedivaze, CLDAs potential best-in-class coronary vasodilator for cardiac stress testing, alsohas a high chance of success with blockbuster commercial potential. Data to date have demonstratedconvincing efficacy and an excellent tolerable safety profile with potential best-in-category attributesdue to its dosing, selectivity, and side effect profile. Our target price is derived by summing thefollowing base case components of Clinical Datas late stage programs: vilazodone net present value(NPV) of $518 million (based on our base case estimates of peak sales of $749 million in CY2017);Stedivaze NPV of $398 million (based on our base case estimates of peak sales of $448 million inCY2018) and FAMILION test franchise NPV of $25 million (based on our base case estimates ofpeak sales of $80 million in 2020). The company also currently holds in excess of $63M in cash to

    support its key business initiatives. Together, with adjustments to calculate free cash flow, these threeprograms by themselves, using a discounted cash flow valuation approach, suggest a target price of$33.00 per share. Other pipeline products (therapeutic and diagnostic) are likely to create additionallong-term value, including ATL844 for the treatment of Asthma and/or Diabetes (option agreement foran exclusive license by Novartis) and ATL313 for ophthalmic diseases, including glaucoma(partnered with Santen Pharmaceuticals).

    VILAZODONE (ANTIDEPRESSANT)Vilazodone, a novel, dual-acting serotonergic antidepressant, is a potentand selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, or SSRI, first line therapy for

    major depressive disorder (MDD), and partial agonist of the 5-hydroxytryptamine 1a, or 5-HT1A, receptor.

    VILAZODONE NDAACCEPTED FOR REVIEW

    On May 24, 2010, CLDA announced that the FDA accepted for review theCompanys New Drug Application (NDA) for vilazodone for the treatment ofmajor depressive disorder. The FDA established a January 22, 2011,PDUFA date. Vilazodone, a novel, dual-acting serotonergic antidepressant,is a potent and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, or SSRI and partialagonist of the 5-hydroxytryptamine 1a, or 5-HT1A, receptor. Vilazodone hascompleted two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical trials. The primary endpointsand multiple secondary endpoints were achieved with statistical significance in both trials. The NDA filing issupported by data from nearly 3,000 patients who have received vilazodone with a low occurrence of side

    effects. Additionally, vilazodones dual mechanism of action also reduced impact on sexual function asmeasured by validated scales (ASEX and CSFQ) showing numerical comparability to placebo.6

    Given thatsexual dysfunction is a frequent adverse effect of treatment with most antidepressants and is one of thepredominant reasons for premature drug discontinuation, the availability of an antidepressant that does notcause sexual dysfunction would represent an advance in pharmacotherapy and may be included in thelabeling for vilazodone.7

    VILAZODONE DATA AT THE APAANNUAL MEETING

    Presentations from this years American Psychiatric Association (APA include: (i) positive results from thesecond placebo-controlled Phase III clinical trial of vilazodone, (ii) results from a long-term, 52-weeksafety study, and (iii) results from two pharmacokinetic studies in patients with renal and hepaticimpairment, respectively.8,9,10,11 Impressively, the efficacy and safety data was consistent and robustacross the multiple studies and models.

    SECOND PHASE IIITRIAL RESULTS

    Results from the second Phase III clinical trial were presented in a poster entitled Efficacy andTolerability of Vilazdone, a Dual-Acting Serotonergic Antidepressant, in the Treatment of Patients withMajor Depressive Disorder (MDD). Vilazodone demonstrated a statistically significant improvement insymptoms in major depressive disorder patients compared to placebo based on multiple measures(MADRS, HAM-D-17, HAM-A, CGI-S, and CGI-I) in the second Phase III trial, replicating the results of thefirst Phase III clinical trial. These efficacy results are displayed in Table 1 below:

    Total enrollment in the trial was 463 patients, and dosing was 40 mg/day for eight weeks, including a two-week titration period. Vilazodone was also well-tolerated with greater than 93% of all adverse eventsclassified as mild or moderate in intensity. Table 2 shows the occurrence of side effects relative toplacebo.

    Diarrhea and nausea were the most common side effects, but they generally occurred early in treatmentand did not lead to significant termination of dosage. Only approximately 5% of vilazodone patientsdiscontinued treatment due to adverse events. Importantly, sexual function for both men and women wassimilar to placebo in both groups as measured by the CSFQ score.

    LONG-TERM SAFETY STUDY RESULTS

    Results from a 52-week study of vilazodone were presented in a poster entitled A 1-Year Open-LabelStudy Assessing the Safety and Tolerability of Vilazodone in Patients with Major Depressive Disorder.The objective of the study was to assess the long-term safety profile of vilazodone, though measures ofefficacy were also observed. Notably, vilazodone was well tolerated at a dose of 40 mg/day, the samedose level used in the second Phase III trial. Adverse events tended to occur early in treatment and weremild to moderate in intensity. Nearly 95% of all adverse events were classified as mild or moderate.

    At the Society of Biological Psychiatry (SOBP) meeting an exciting poster was presented on vilazodoneserotonin reuptake inhibition in vitro, showing both (i) potency 30-fold greater than that of the SSRI

    fluoxetine and (ii) high selectivity for the inhibition of serotonin reuptake, compared to norepinephrine ordopamine reuptake.

    antidepressant efficacy. In a separate study in an in vivo rat model, findings suggest that vilazodone maypotentially provide improved antidepressant effects versus an SSRI alone.13

    VILAZODONE AND SEXUAL FUNCTION

    According to the posters presented at the APA annual meeting, both the second Phase III trial and thelong-term safety study confirmed the previously reported result that vilazodones impact on sexualdysfunction is comparable to placebo using the accepted ASEX and CSFQ scales.

    Dr. Carol Reed, Chief Medical Officer of Clinical Data, previously presented a detailed review of therelationship between vilazodone and sexual function in October 2009 titled, Depression, Its Treatment,and Sexual Function. It was made clear that patients with depression experience difficulties with sexualfunctioning and that sexual functioning can be worsened with treatment with antidepressants.Vilazodones dual mechanism of action that combines selective serotonin reuptake inhibition (SSRI) andpartial 5-HT1A receptor agonism reduced impact on sexual function as measured by validated scales(ASEX and CSFQ) showing numerical comparability to placebo.

    14Data from a report by Landen (1999)

    on buspirone provided additional information that the partial agonist of the 5-HT1A receptors may have abeneficial effect of decreasing or reversing sexual dysfunctions induced by SSRIs.

    Given the potential for vilazodones lack of effect on sexual functioning (e.g., study findings corroboratethat there was no impairment of sexual function as measured by a validated scales), it is positively andimportantly differentiated from other SSRIs that have been associated with causing sexual dysfunction orexacerbating pre-existing sexual dysfunction.15

    State-of-the-art sexual dysfunction research, including rating scales, statistics, and strategies formanaging sexual dysfunction were presented, including:

    1) An estimated 70 to 80% of the patients have complaints related to sexual function;16

    2) Antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction is potentially underestimated by a factor of three;17

    3) Sexual dysfunction is prevalent in patients on antidepressants in primary care practices;1819 and

    4) Sexual dysfunction is often a factor in non-compliance and discontinuation of antidepressanttreatment.

    20

    Dr. Reed also showed data from published studies on the anti-anxiety drug buspirone (a 5-HT 1A partialagonist) as an antidote to SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction. Buspirone treatment showed a reversal ofsymptoms of sexual dysfunction in 69% of patients with SSRI induced sexual dysfunction, and thebenefits of 5-HT1A partial agonism provides a possible explanation of why rates of vilazodone-relatedsexual dysfunction as measured by quantitative scales is similar to placebo.21 It was also noted that,using qualitative data, vilazodone was associated with more adverse events related to sexual functioningthan placebo however, the only adverse event related to sexual function with a frequency >2% invilazodone-treated patients was decreased libido, occurring in 3.7% of patients.

    Finally, Dr. Reed reviewed the vilazodone trials as they related to sexual dysfunction measures. BothPhase III trials were randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, 8-week studies of vilazodone in thetreatment of adult outpatients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Patients were treated with 40mg/day of vilazodone for 8 weeks.

    The effect of vilazodone on sexual dysfunction was measured using the Arizona Sexual Experience Scale(ASEX) in the first Phase III trial and the Changes in Sexual Function Questionnaire (CSFQ) in thesecond Phase III trial. Negative changes in the ASEX indicate improvement in sexual function, whilepositive changes indicate worsening of sexual function as determined by patient answers to a fivequestion survey. To sumup, mean changes from baseline forpatients treated with either vilazodone orplacebo showed numerically similar improvement in these two studies.

    The Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (CSFQ) is a 14-item scale that quantifies fivedomains of sexual function. Total scores range from 5 to 70, with increasing scores indicative of sexualfunction improvement. The CSFQ is brief and reliable with published norms, and it assesses all phasesand both genders.

    The Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX) is a five-item scale that quantifies five domains of sexualfunction. Total scores range from 5 to 30, with decreasing scores indicative of sexual functionimprovement. The ASEX is reliable and assesses all phases and both genders.

    VILAZODONE:COMMERCIAL OUTLOOK

    Based on our internal assumptions and revenue model, we project peak revenue of $749 million inCY2017. We estimate that vilazodone will be approved by the FDA and launched in CY2011 (FY2012).Figure 4 shows our projected sales for MDD in the U.S.

    HARMACOLOGICS

    TRESSA

    GENT)Stedivaze (apadenoson), a selective A2A receptor agonist, is in clinical

    development for use as a pharmacologic stress agent in myocardialperfusion imaging (MPI) scans. MPI scans, commonly called cardiac stresstests, are used to identify symptoms of coronary artery disease (CAD),including areas of poor blood flow in the heart caused by the formation ofatheromatous plaques. A pharmacologic stress agent is used to temporarilyincrease blood flow through coronary arteries during stress testing so arteryfunctionality can be accurately assessed. The A2A adenosine receptor is thereceptor subtype responsible for coronary vasodilation, or the widening ofblood vessels.

    27We believe that a pharmacologic stress agent like

    Stedivaze, with the potential for a reduced side-effect profile, would offer apotentially best in class option for diagnosing coronary artery disease in patients who cannot undergo an

    exercise test. Stedivaze has completed Phase II studies, and a Phase III study commenced in November2009.

    ASNC2010POSTER PRESENTATIONS

    CLDA presented two posters summarizing the Phase I data of Stedivaze in patients with asthma andCOPD at the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) 2010 annual meeting.

    28,29The results

    demonstrate Stedivazes overall safety and tolerability in the subset of patients with underlying asthma orCOPD. Currently available cardiac stress agents are contraindicated or cautioned against use in thesepatients, so these positive results may help to differentiate Stedivaze from competing cardiac stressagents and expand the market potential.

    The first poster, entitled A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Safety ofApadenoson [Stedivaze] in Subjects with Mild or Moderate Asthma, summarized results from 49 patients

    using a single IV bolus dose, the same that is being used in the Phase III ASPECT-1 trial. Treatment with

    Key Assumptions:

    PApproximately 16 million Americans are affected by coronary artery disease on an annual basis andbetween 7.5 million and 9.3 million patients (approximately 50%) will receive myocardial perfusionimaging scans. Approximately 50% of the 8.4 million patients, or 4.2 million, require the use of apharmacologic stress agent31,32;

    P Of the patients that receive a pharmacologic stress agent, 100% are addressable by Stedivaze;

    P The addressable market will grow at an annual rate of 10% from FY2010 through FY2015 and anannual rate of 3% from FY2015 through perpetuity33;

    P Stedivaze penetrates the market beginning in FY2015 at a price of $188 per vial growing 3%annually34;

    P Stedivaze penetrates 4% of the market in launch year with a peak penetration of 30% reached inFY2019. Assumes penetration rates begin to decline following the expiration of CorVues patent inFY2018 and following the expiration of Lexiscans patent in FY2025

    35; and

    P Stedivazes patent expires in FY2027.36

    (Intentionally left blank)

    31 According to the American Heart Association (2008), approximately 16 million Americans have coronary heart disease.32

    According to Astellas Pharma US, Inc., 7.5 million to 9.3 million MPI scans are performed annually, and 50% require apharmacologic stress agent.. Astellas press release, June 24, 2008, Astellas Launches Lexiscan (Regadenoson) Injection for useas a Pharmacologic Stress Agent in Radionuclide Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI). 33

    According to AMR data, the compounded annual growth rate of pharmacologic MPIs since 1996 is 11.6%. We assume an annualgrowth rate of 10% will continue through 2014 as better agents (like selective A2A agonists) drive adoption of pharmacologic scansdo to improved AE profiles and ease of use. Additionally, our model does not take into account other modalities such as MRI andEcho which are likely to contribute to growth rates as switchover occurs. Finally, changing demographics, such as population agingand greater rates of obesity, are expected to contribute to overall growth in cardiovascular disease and related cardiovascularimaging market..34

    The Red Book average wholesale price (AWP) of Lexiscan is $242.82. The Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC) for Lexiscan is$202.35. We assume approximately 7% in total discounts (including a 2% wholesaler discount and a 5% hospital/GPO discount)from the WAC, which results in a discounted price of $188.19 in 2009. Given that Stedivaze has best-in-class potential, it mayeventually command a premium price to Lexiscan; however, our model does not include this upside.35

    We assume a 35% penetration for several reasons. First, the market is relatively undeveloped with two primary products,AdenoScan (adenosine) and Persantine (dipyridamole), holding combined 90% market share. Second, it is expected that Lexiscanwill cannibalize AdenoScan as both are marketed by Astellas. Third, Stedivaze has best-in-class attributes as compared toAdenoScan, Lexiscan, and CorVue because it is administered by bolus injection and it has an improved AE profile. Note Corvuesfate is unclear given that the FDA panel voted against CorVue in October 2009, saying the data did not prove the drug was aseffective as adenosine. While Lexiscan and CorVue (if ever approved) are administered by bolus injection, they have comparableAE profiles to AdenoScan. Fourth, AdenoScan (adenosine) will only become generic in 2012 (although it should be largely replacedby Lexiscan). CorVue (if ever approved) will be generic in 2017, and Lexiscan will be generic in 2024; thus, we anticipate minimalgeneric competition until 2017. We also assume Lexiscan will have substantially cannibalized AdenoScan by the time a genericversion is available, and physicians will be hesitant to switch due to the reduced costs and ease of use associated with bolusdosing.36

    The Stedivaze patent estate includes a 1999 composition of matter patent that provides protection through 2024 (assuming a five-year extension from expiration in 2019) and a 2008 unit dosing patent that provides coverage through 2033 (assuming a five-yearextension from expiration in 2028). The model assumes the unit-dose patent will provide protection through 2026.

    INVESTMENT CONCERNS AND RISKSFor a complete description of risks and uncertainties related to Clinical Data, Inc.s business, seethe Risk Factors section in Clinical Datas SEC filings, which can be accessed directly from theSEC Edgar filings at www.sec.gov. Potential risks include:

    Stock risk and market risk: There is a limited trading market for the Companys common stock.There can be no assurance that an active and liquid trading market will develop or, if developed, thatit will be sustained, which could limit ones ability to buy or sell the Companys common stock at adesired price. Investors should also consider technical risks common to many small-cap or micro-capstock investments, such as small float, risk of dilution, dependence upon key personnel, and thestrength of competitors that may be larger and better capitalized.

    New and rapidly changing field: The pharmaceutical and biotechnological markets are rapidlyevolving, and research and development are expected to continue at an accelerated pace withincreased frequency. Other companies are also actively engaged in the development of therapies todirectly or indirectly treat those disorders being pursued by Clinical Data. These companies may havesubstantially greater research and development capabilities, as well as significantly greatermarketing, financial, and human resources abilities than Clinical Data.

    Products still in development phases: Although the Company intends to continue with clinicaldevelopment of vilazodone for depression, Stedivaze a cardiac stress agent, and other pipelinecandidates in various indications, the successful development of the Companys product candidatesis uncertain. Product development costs and timelines can vary significantly for each productcandidate and are difficult to accurately predict. In addition, products in development that appear tobe promising may not reach commercialization for various reasons, including failure to achieve

    regulatory approvals, safety concerns, and/or the inability to be manufactured at a reasonable cost. Funding requirements: It is difficult to predict the Companys future capital requirements. The

    Company may need additional financing to continue funding the research and development of itsproducts and to expand its business. There is no guarantee that it can secure the desired futurecapital or, if sufficient capital is secured, that current shareholders will not suffer significant dilution.

    Regulatory risk: Various statutes and regulations also govern or influence the manufacturing, safety,labeling, storage, record keeping and marketing of each product. The lengthy process of seekingapproval and the subsequent compliance with applicable statutes and regulations require theexpenditure of substantial resources. Any failure by us to obtain, or any delay in obtaining, regulatory

    approvals could materially adversely affect Clinical Datas business. There is no guarantee thatClinical Datas products will be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) orinternational regulatory bodies for marketing in the U.S. or abroad.

    The Company may need to raise additional capital, which may not be available on termsacceptable to them, if at all:As the Company continues to expand their research and developmentand sales and marketing activities, they may need to raise additional capital, which may not be

    available on terms acceptable to them, if at all. If the Company cannot raise necessary additionalcapital on acceptable terms, they may not be able to increase sales, develop or enhance theirproducts and services, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures orunanticipated requirements, any of which could cause their business to suffer.

    Competitive risk: The biotechnology industry is extremely competitive, mainly due to its large marketpotential. Many companies are developing products for the same therapeutic indications targeted byClinical Data. These companies may have substantially more resources than Clinical Data, whichcould adversely affect the Companys position in the market place.

    FINANCIAL FORECASTS&VALUATIONThe following assumptions refer to CLDAs revenue model, annual earnings model, and valuationanalysis. The revenue estimates are for: vilazodone sales revenue in the US (excluding revenue frominternational sales orpartnershipor collaboration opportunities in the USor internationally); Stedivazesales revenue in the US (excluding revenue from international sales or partnership or collaborationopportunities in the USor internationally): andFAMILION test sales revenue in the US. We have also notincludedpotentialupfront fees ormilestone revenue from, nor expenses associated with, CLDAs earlystage product candidates. Given that we expectCLDA to seekpartnerships and/ormonetize some ofthese assets, we treat these products as valuation-neutral toourmodel.

    According to Astellas Pharma US, Inc., 7.5 million to 9.3 million MPI scans are performed annually, and 50% require apharmacologic stress agent.. Astellas press release, June 24, 2008, Astellas Launches Lexiscan (Regadenoson) Injection for useas a Pharmacologic Stress Agent in Radionuclide Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI). 44

    According to AMR data, the compounded annual growth rate of pharmacologic MPIs since 1996 is 11.6%. We assume an annualgrowth rate of 10% will continue through 2014 as better agents (like selective A2A agonists) drive adoption of pharmacologic scansdo to improved AE profiles and ease of use. Additionally, our model does not take into account other modalities such as MRI andEcho which are likely to contribute to growth rates as switchover occurs. Finally, changing demographics, such as population aging

    and greater rates of obesity, are expected to contribute to overall growth in cardiovascular disease and related cardiovascularimaging market..45

    The Red Book average wholesale price (AWP) of Lexiscan is $242.82. The Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC) for Lexiscan is$202.35. We assume approximately 7% in total discounts (including a 2% wholesaler discount and a 5% hospital/GPO discount)from the WAC, which results in a discounted price of $188.19 in 2009. Given that Stedivaze has best-in-class potential, it mayeventually command a premium price to Lexiscan; however, our model does not include this upside.46

    We assume a 35% penetration for several reasons. First, the market is relatively undeveloped with two primary products,AdenoScan (adenosine) and Persantine (dipyridamole), holding combined 90% market share. Second, it is expected that Lexiscanwill cannibalize AdenoScan as both are marketed by Astellas. Third, Stedivaze has best-in-class attributes as compared toAdenoScan, Lexiscan, and CorVue because it is administered by bolus injection and it has an improved AE profile. Note Corvuesfate is unclear given that the FDA panel voted against CorVue in October 2009, saying the data did not prove the drug was aseffective as adenosine. While Lexiscan and CorVue (if ever approved) are administered by bolus injection, they have comparableAE profiles to AdenoScan. Fourth, AdenoScan (adenosine) will only become generic in 2012 (although it should be largely replacedby Lexiscan). CorVue (if ever approved) will be generic in 2017, and Lexiscan will be generic in 2024; thus, we anticipate minimalgeneric competition until 2017. We also assume Lexiscan will have substantially cannibalized AdenoScan by the time a genericversion is available, and physicians will be hesitant to switch due to the reduced costs and ease of use associated with bolusdosing.47

    The Stedivaze patent estate includes a 1999 composition of matter patent that provides protection through 2024 (assuming a five-year extension from expiration in 2019) and a 2008 unit dosing patent that provides coverage through 2033 (assuming a five-yearextension from expiration in 2028). The model assumes the unit-dose patent will provide protection through 2026.

    P COGS are approximately $4.75 per vial, including approximately $1.50 per vial for shipping anddistribution, $1.75 per vial for warehousing, and $1.50 per vial for manufacturing;48

    P S&M expenses includes a sales force of 100 reps at a fully-loaded cost of $200,000 per rep andexpenses for promotional materials, advertising agency, and journal ads;

    P R&D expenses of $5.8 million in FY2010, $28 million in FY2011, $25,000 million in FY2012, $15,000million in FY 2013, $2 million in FY2014, and $1 million in FY2015 through perpetuity. Theseassumptions include expenses for two pivotal Phase III trials of Stedivaze, two Phase I feasibilitystudies in patients with asthma and COPD, as well as various other small proof-of-concept-studies.

    48Favorable COGS are driven by the potency of apadenoson (Stedivaze). On average, each dose contains approximately 125 g of

    apadenoson active pharmaceutical ingredient (API); thus, one gram of apadenoson API should yield approximately 8000 doses.
