Watching this to bottom out then could have a nice bounce. Could see some major lows. Potential interest for me is watching for the turn around and fixing their issues with the FDA and possible reimbursement from Esteve.

Hemispherx ending licensing deal in Spain, Portugal and Andorra
Monday December 10, 10:05 am ET


Hemispherx Biopharma Inc. said Monday it plans to terminate a license agreement that gives Laboratorios Del Dr. Esteve the right to market Ampligen for chronic fatigue syndrome in Spain, Portugal and Andorra.

Ampligen has not been approved by regulators in those markets.

The Philadelphia biotechnology company said it notified Esteve of Barcelona, Spain, the basis for the termination was nonperformance of certain undisclosed contractually required clinical trials. Hemispherx (AMEX:HEB - News) officials said efforts to reach an amicable resolution were unsuccessful.

Esteve, as provided for under the terms of the licensing agreement, has applied for arbitration, seeking damages. Hemispherx believes the Esteve claim is without merit and intends to counterclaim, seeking damages.

Last week, Hemispherx received a notice from the Food and Drug Administration that the company's new drug submission for Ampligen was determined to be insufficiently complete.

The company said it plans to respond promptly in writing to all of the filing issues raised by the FDA and will request a guidance meeting to clarify any outstanding items.

Form 8-K for HEMISPHERX BIOPHARMA INC


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10-Dec-2007

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement, Financial Statements and


Item 1.02 Termination of material definitive agreement.
We notified Laboratorios Del Dr. Esteve, S.A. ("Esteve") of our intention to terminate the license agreement that gives Esteve the right to market Ampligen(R) for CFS in Spain, Portugal and Andorra. The basis of the termination was non-performance by Esteve of certain contractually required clinical trials. Negotiations were ongoing but amicable resolution could not be reached. Esteve, as is its right under the license agreement, has filed for arbitration seeking damages. We believe their claim is without merit and intend to counterclaim, seeking damages.

For more information, please see the December 10, 2007 press release attached hereto as exhibit 99.1

Number of Shares of Common Stock
As of August 7, 2007 there were 72,826,971 shares of Hemispherx common stock issued and outstanding. If you need additional assistance or information regarding the company, contact Hemispherx Biopharma’s Investor Relations representative.

---------------==============-------------------


Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 3, 2007 we received notice from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) that our NDA submission for Ampligen(R) in Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome (CFS) had been determined to be insufficiently complete to permit a
substantive review under 21 CFR 314.101 (d). Specifically eleven deficiencies
were noted in the Clinical Section and three in the Pre-Clinical Section. No
deficiencies were cited in the Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls Section
(CMC).

We believe that several factors may influence the pace of the regulatory path:
(1) Ampligen(R) (Poly I : Poly C12U) has a relatively long regulatory history
(approximately twenty years) and regulatory guidelines suggest that longer
clinical development histories may require more review; (2) Ampligen(R) is also
the first drug of its class to apply for NDA review status; and (3) in some
circumstances, clinical data reporting guidelines have changed since the initial
studies on Ampligen(R), an experimental therapeutic, were executed in the late
1980s and early 1990s.

The Company will respond promptly in writing to all of the filing issues raised
by the FDA and will request a guidance meeting to clarify any items outstanding.

hereto as exhibit 99.1
