Heidelberg, 29 June 2010 - SYGNIS Pharma AG
(Frankfurt: LIO; ISIN DE0005043509; Prime Standard) today announced 
its financial results for the 2009/2010 fiscal year, which ended on 
31 March 2010.
Financial figures for the 2009/2010 fiscal year
•       Cash including marketable securities was down EUR6.8 million compared
with the previous year, to EUR15.5 million. Long-term financial liabilities
amounting to EUR8.0 million resulted from a loan that will not become payable

•       Net loss for the 2009/2010 fiscal year remains unchanged at EUR10.3
million as per the previous year.
•       Operational expenditure decreased to EUR9.2 million (2008/2009: EUR11.2
million) due to lower R&D expenses.
•       Financial result of -EUR1.8 million mainly due to unrealised losses on
marketable securities.
Milestones
o       One of the key milestones of the reporting period is the initiation of
about 80 study centres in eight European countries to participate in the
multinational phase II efficacy study for AX200 for the treatment of acute
stroke.
o       In preclinical in vivo studies SYGNIS achieved proof of concept that
enhancement of the KIBRA pathway improves cognitive functions and working
memory.
o       SYGNIS made significant progress in strengthening its IP position on its
pipeline relating to AX200 as well as on the KIBRA project for drug development.
o       SYGNIS secured up to EUR10 million by entering into a three year Standby
Equity Distribution Agreement (SEDA) with the US investor Yorkville Advisors.
Dr. Alfred Bach, CEO of SYGNIS Pharma, said: "SYGNIS looks back on a 
busy financial year with the backdrop of a challenging global 
economy. In spite of this, we achieved key milestones this year that 
have enabled us to make considerable progress in our efforts for 
SYGNIS´ sustainable development. In addition, we are optimistic that 
we will be able to acquire new projects by licensing or M&A 
transactions to extend our product and project portfolio in the near 
future."
Outlook
SYGNIS expects a net loss of around EUR15 million for the current 
2010/2011 fiscal year and a liquidity outflow of some EUR14 million.
The key focus for the upcoming months is the effective execution of 
the ongoing multinational phase II efficacy study with AX200. Initial
results are expected to be available mid 2011. In addition, SYGNIS is
consistently searching for projects and partnerships that are in line
with its research approach and are a logical fit with the existing 
portfolio. The main requirement for such projects is that they are 
either already financed through to the next stage of development or 
can be used to obtain new financial resources.

About SYGNIS Pharma SYGNIS Pharma AG, headquartered in Heidelberg, is
a specialty pharmaceutical company listed on the Prime Standard of 
the German stock exchange. The Company is focused on the research, 
development and marketing of innovative therapies for the treatment 
of disorders of the Central Nervous System. These include Stroke, 
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and neurological disorders resulting 
from injuries to the brain or spinal cord. All these disorders are 
characterized by the fact that, as the disease progresses, nerve 
cells are damaged and die. Although there is great medical demand, 
there are currently no or only inadequate treatment options 
available.
One of the central elements in this value-creation chain is the 
continued expansion of the existing product pipeline. This is 
achieved by the development of new products as a result of SYGNIS´ 
own research and the inorganic growth through in-licensing agreements
and acquisitions. By means of specific R&D programs at SYGNIS, new 
pre-clinical drug candidates are identified and evaluated as well as 
preclinical projects initiated, which are offered for inlicensing.
