Important Cautions Regarding Forward Looking Statements
 Certain statements made in this presentation are "forward-looking statements" of AspenBio Pharma, Inc. ("APPY") as
 defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All statements, other than statements of historical fact,
 included in this presentation that address activities, events or developments that APPY believes or anticipates will or
 may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions made
 based on experience, expected future developments and other factors APPY believes are appropriate in the
 circumstances. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are
 beyond the control of APPY. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future
 performance. Actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
 statements as a result of many factors, including our ability to successfully complete the pilot study and clinical trial
 activities for AppyScore™ required for FDA submission, obtain FDA clearance, cost effectively manufacture and generate
 revenues from AppyScore and other new products, execute agreements required to successfully advance the company's
 objectives, retain the management team to advance the products, overcome adverse changes in market conditions and
 the regulatory environment, obtain and enforce intellectual property rights, and realize value of intangible assets.
 Furthermore, APPY does not intend (and is not obligated) to update publicly any forward-looking statements. The
 contents of this presentation should be considered in conjunction with the risk factors contained in APPY's most recent
 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.

MRP 8/14 Performance Compared to
Candidate Multi-Marker Panel
In accordance with FDA guidance, a rule-out test is to
be performed in low-to-moderate risk patients
identified using a risk stratification method. Applying a
risk stratification method to the interim sample of 197
patients resulted in 152 patients being classified as low
to moderate risk, with a 20% prevalence of
appendicitis.
Performance measures reflect the preliminary analysis
of patients enrolled in AspenBio’s Pilot Study evaluated
using MRP8/14 and a multi-marker panel. While these
results are encouraging, they are not conclusive.
Additional development work, analysis and completion
of the full 500-patient study is necessary prior to
commencement of a pivotal trial.
