Dow Jones Description

Sonus Pharmaceuticals is developing novel small molecule drugs for the treatment of patients with cancer. Our objective is to identify opportunities where there is the possibility for major improvements in patient treatments and where we believe we can mitigate development risk. We currently have one drug in clinical development and two earlier stage programs. Our plan is to continue to develop our internal pipeline of clinical compound opportunities and to evaluate possible strategic alternatives, including in-licensing, out-licensing and merger and acquisition opportunities, as a means of achieving our business strategies and enhancing stockholder value. In the fourth quarter of 2007 we engaged Ferghana Partners Inc., an international provider of independent financial advisory services to firms in the biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics and specialty chemicals industries, to assist us with these strategic alternatives.
