Dear Shareholder,

The environment for commercialising new biomedical technologies has been especially challenging over the past 18 months following the global financial crisis. In particular, it has been very difficult for companies to raise new funds for early-stage (preclinical) development programs.

Accordingly, Select Vaccines elected to suspend its own vaccine development programs during 2009, operating on a care and maintenance basis to preserve funds. The Board has focused on securing a partnership arrangement with well-funded complementary companies in order to advance the development of the company's vaccine technology. At the same time, the Board has been seeking and investigating opportunities to acquire other businesses, principally but not exclusively in the medical sector.

The company is currently in discussions with a number of eligible, reputable parties that have expressed an interest in merging with Select with the condition that the combined entity would be able to have access to sufficient funds to advance its technology programs to a stage that will generate a significant uplift in shareholder value.

Yours faithfully

Shane Allan Chairman.
