About HEPLISAV
HEPLISAV is an investigational adult hepatitis B vaccine. The vaccine candidate is being evaluated in two Phase 3 studies that are directed toward fulfilling licensure requirements in U.S., Canada and Europe. In a completed pivotal Phase 3 trial, HEPLISAV demonstrated increased, rapid protection with fewer doses than current licensed vaccines. Dynavax has worldwide commercial rights to HEPLISAV and is developing the vaccine for large, high-value populations that are less responsive to current licensed vaccines, including individuals with chronic kidney disease. HEPLISAV combines hepatitis B surface antigen with a proprietary Toll-like Receptor 9 agonist known as ISS to enhance the immune response.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP REVENUES TO PRO FORMA REVENUES
(In thousands)

Three Months Ended

---------------------
2010 2009
---------- ----------
GAAP revenues $ 8,344 $ 19,344
ADD:
Collaboration funding incurred under SDI programs -- 747
LESS:
Non-cash deferred revenue from Merck collaboration -- 15,537

Pro forma revenues(1) $ 8,344 $ 4,554
========== ==========
(1) These pro forma amounts are intended to illustrate the Company's
revenues including collaboration funding provided for the SDI programs
and excluding certain non-cash items. The collaboration funding is
reflected in the amount attributed to the noncontrolling interest in
SDI in the Company's consolidated statement of operations, but would
have been reported as revenue if SDI's results of operations were not
consolidated with those of the Company. Management of the Company
believes the pro forma results are a more useful measure of the
Company's revenues because it provides investors the ability to
evaluate the Company's operations in the manner that management uses
to assess the continued progress of operating programs. These pro
forma results are not in accordance with, or an alternative for,
generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from pro
forma measures used by other companies.
