YONKERS, NY, Jan 23, 2009 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- ADVR | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Advanced Viral Research Corp. (OTCBB: ADVR), today announced that the Company has suspended operations due to the inability to secure financing. As a result of the suspension of operations and anticipated inability to pay debts as they will become due, the Company is in default under the transaction documents issued in conjunction with the secured convertible debentures to YA Global Investments, L.P. (f/k/a Cornell Capital Partners L.P.) ("YA Global"). Under the debentures and transaction documents, upon an event of default, YA Global, among other things, has the right to (i) accelerate all amounts of principal and interest outstanding under the debentures; and (ii) enforce its security interest in the assets securing the Company's obligations arising under the debentures and transaction documents. ADVR is indebted to YA Global under the debentures and transaction documents in the outstanding principal amount of $1,952,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $220,000 (the "Amounts"). The Company currently does not have sufficient cash resources to pay the Amounts nor does it have any agreements, agreements in principle or understandings to acquire sufficient cash resources to pay the Amounts.

ADVR is communicating with YA Global regarding the default as well as actively seeking sources of financing. If ADVR fails to secure sufficient capital in the next several days, the Company may be forced to face the consequences of a default on its debt obligations under the debentures and transaction documents which may include, the transfer, conveyance and assignment to YA Global of all of ADVR's right, title and interest to and possession of the Company's assets, properties and business. There can be no assurances that the Company will obtain financing on terms favorable to ADVR, if at all.
