Dear Mr. Abella (and Tokyo),

Ironically, I arrived at my valuation for Zona by using some of the information provided at your website (http://www.westergaard.com:8080/Med/Valuation/index.htm). I thought your comments were quite helpful.

Please keep in mind that I do not claim to be an analyst nor that I am unequivocally right. These just happen to be the assumptions I've made and the valuations that I arrived at.

First, I considered only the contribution of Vasomax to the yearly sales of Zona.

Second, I determined total market valuation by the following equation:

Total market (=$1.5 Billion) x penetration (=15%) x profit margin (total sales - cogs, marketing, G&A, R&D, and taxes) (=15%) x the weighting factor given at your site for a company with phase III completed data (=.5) x a multiple (=25x) and added the $70 million in cash that Zona currently has.

This yieled a total market valuation of about $490,000,000 which I then divided by the total number of shares (11.5 million) to get a current sare price of about $42. For NDA submission I simply used the weighting factor of 0.8 that was provided at your web site. This yielded a post-NDA share price of a $67.
