CHICAGO, May 5, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Advanced Life Sciences Holdings, Inc.

"We presently do not have sufficient cash to fund our operations and have curtailed substantially all activities," stated the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Michael T. Flavin. The Company's Board of Directors is considering all strategic alternatives in light of the Company's current financial circumstances, and the suspension of operations will limit the Company's need for working capital while it continues to explore possible solutions. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern will depend on the results of the Board's efforts, and a filing under the federal bankruptcy laws is a distinct possibility.
