SAFE HARBOR

This presentation contains forward-looking statements, including without
limitation statements concerning product development objectives, Aastrom's
business model for its products, clinical trial timing and anticipated results,
potential revenues, margins and markets for Aastrom's products and products
under development, and potential advantages and applications of the
AastromReplicell System, which involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual
results may differ significantly from the expectations contained in the forward-
looking statements.

Among the factors that may result in differences are the results obtained from
clinical trials and development activities, regulatory approval requirements,
competitive developments and the availability of resources.

These and other significant factors are discussed in greater detail in Aastrom's
Annual Report of Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
