Audit Concerns

|
Event:
Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu raised doubts on the ability of Prana Biotechnology Limited to continue as a going concern after auditing its financial statements. The auditor believes that the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to fund its current level of activities for the next 12 months. The Company has accumulated losses of $41,340,718, and has incurred negative cash flows from operations of $11,651,215 in the current year.

Intellectual Property:
The Company is the exclusive licensee of an international patent application in the name of the General Hospital Corporation directed to a novel target for an Alzheimer’s disease vaccine. The Company's research has demonstrated that a mouse could generate antibodies that preferentially recognize dimerized ‘toxic linked’ forms of beta-amyloid and not the endogenous monomeric form of beta amyloid. Individual hybridoma cells will be cloned and tested to try to identify a mouse monoclonal antibody candidate for use in a prospective mouse passive vaccine trial during 2007. On February 8, 2000, the Company entered into a patent assignment agreement with The Biomolecular Research Institute for the assignment of various patent applications and patent rights. On July 28, 2004, it entered into a settlement agreement with P.N. Gerolymatos S.A. with respect to patent inventorship claims relating to the use of clioquinol (PBT-1) for use in Alzheimer’s disease. [SEC Filing 20-F 6-18-07]
