Advanced Viral Research (OTCBB:ADVR)  is the ONLY under $100 million market cap biotechnology company that is about to initiate four clinical trials--genital warts (HPV), Cancer, HIV and Cachexia (wasting during chemotherapy) under the guidance of a Contract Research Organization (http://www.globomax.com). And, last week (August 21), the company had a peer-reviewed article published in HIV Clinical Trials journal. Company's one week-old Corporate Website is at http://adviral.com 

 
ADVR's immunomodulator drug was first used by physicians in the United States from the 1940'2 to 1962 (and listed in the Physician's Desk Reference) --with remarkable results for a number of viral conditions and NO toxic side effects exhibited by ANY patient.. Now is the first time that the FDA will see the results in formal clinical trials approved by the FDA. Two trials are in Phase II.

Investment Highlights
Biotech Market Capitalization Comparisons
 
After an evaluation of current biotechnology firms' valuations in the marketplace, along with the very real assumption that ADVR's drug will be in four  (4) clinical trials-- with the usual "efficacy and safety unknowns" being "known" from the broad use of the drug in its past--and a collaborative partnership with one of the many major Pharmaceutical firms currently very motivated to acquire rights to promising drugs,  ADVR appears to thave the hallmarks of a successful biotechnology company offering early investors significant investment returns.  Fast Track status from the FDA is a very real possibility with  HIV and Cancer.
 
Illustrative of the investment potential of investing in Biotechs early in the clinical trial process is the investment returns seen by Immunex (IMNX) and Medimmune (MEDI) investors. Immunex had one major drug currently approved for Rheumatoid arthritis (Enbrel) before recently being bought out by Amgen (AMGN) , but by investing two years BEFORE Enbrel's market approval, an investor would have seen phenomenal returns (IMNX actually went to $75 in 2000).
 
And MEDI investors who invested in 1997, when the investment was definitely considered "Speculative", have been rewarded with a substantial return on their investment.  
 
Immunex (IMNX) Recent Price-- BOUGHT BY AMGEN  FOR $30/SHARE IN AMGEN STOCK
Price on July 30, 1996 (split adjusted)  96 cents
Shares Outstanding at AMGN buyout--  544 Million
Market Capitalization at AMGN Buyout $16.3 Billion
 
Medimmune (MEDI) Recent Price (as of August 24,2002) $28.63
Price on April 3, 1997 (split adjusted) $1.98
Current Shares Outstanding  249.53 Million 
Current Market Capitalization $7.18 Billion
 
Advanced Viral Research (ADVR) Recent Price (as of August 25, 2002)  21 cents
Current Shares Outstanding  431 Million
Current Market Capitalization  $90.5 million
 
Again, Immunex had one major drug "Enbrel", approved in 1998, for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (with some reported negative side effects) . MedImmune  has one major drug--Synagis-for the treatment of RSV (respiratory virus in infants) and four smaller drugs.
ADVR, in comparison, is in Phase II clinical trials for HPV in the US and will announce the beginning of THREE CLINICAL TRIALS in Israel very soon--Remember, two key questions of clinical trials are safety and efficacy.  And, ADVR's drug has a long history of NO TOXICITY or NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECT WITH DOCUMENTED CASE RESULTS OF EFFECTIVENESS BY PHYSICIANS.(still to be confirmed by FDA trials)
 
Corporate Overview
 
Advanced Viral Research Corp., based in Yonkers, New York, is a biopharmaceutical firm committed to researching, developing and bringing to market new effective therapies for viral, autoimmune and other diseases. Its flagship drug, Product R, is a second generation therapeutic drug based on the science of a drug known as Reticulose. Reticulose  was used in the United States for twenty-five years (until 1962)  for the treatment of influenza,encephalitis (West Nile virus is a type of encephalitis) , herpes and hepatitis with no reported toxic side effects. (See the Jerusalem Post article, "The Drug They Called Miraculous" -- for an excellent background) 
 
The quality and experience of businesspeople,scientists and money managers that have chosen to participate in the future of ADVR in the past 9 months is very impressive.  The Board of Directors, Management Advisory Board, and Scientific Advisory Board members of Advanced Viral Research should be assessed by the serious investor at http://www.adviral.com/ADVR/invest/index.htm.  REMINDER: $1.5 million has recently been invested in ADVR  by certain Board members.
 
Building upon the advances in biotechnology research over the past 40 years (for example, the category of drugs called peptide-nucleic acids (PNA)--which is the category that Product R falls in--was not identified until 1990), ADVR has improved on Reticulose and has been approved by the FDA for Phase II trials. Product R is a non-toxic peptide-nucleic acid-type (PNA) immunomodulator that appears to:
