CorMedix Inc. (CRMD)

Price Target Risks: Investment risks associated with the achievement of the price target include, but are
not limited to, the company’s failure to achieve our earnings and revenue estimates, unforeseen
macroeconomic and/or industry events that adversely impact demand for the company’s products and
services, product obsolescence, the company’s ability to recruit and retain competent personnel, changes
in investor sentiment regarding the specific company or industry, changing competitive pressures and
adverse market conditions. For a complete discussion of the risk factors that could affect the market price
of the company’s shares, refer to the most recent form 10-Q or 10-K that the company has filed with the
SEC.
Investment Risks: Aside from general market and other economic risks, risks particular to our
CorMedix Inc. rating include: 1) the success of pivotal clinical trials for both Neutrolin and Deferiprone
would have major impact for CRMD shareholders; 2) sales potential for the two products could be
different significantly from expected; 3) lack of cash could impede corporate development; and 4) thinly
traded stock limits shareholder options.

                                           RISK RATINGS

Risk ratings take into account both fundamental criteria and price volatility.
Speculative –
Fundamental Criteria: This is a risk rating assigned to early-stage companies with minimal to no
revenues, lack of earnings, balance sheet concerns, and/or a short operating history. Accordingly,
fundamental risk is expected to be significantly above the industry.
Price Volatility: Because of the inherent fundamental criteria of the companies falling within this risk
category, the price volatility is expected to be significant with the possibility that the investment could
eventually be worthless.
Speculative stocks may not be suitable for a significant class of individual investors.
High –
Fundamental Criteria: This is a risk rating assigned to companies having below-average revenue and
earnings visibility, negative cash flow, and low market cap or public float. Accordingly, fundamental risk
is expected to be above the industry.
Price volatility: The price volatility of companies falling within this category is expected to be above the
industry.
High-risk stocks may not be suitable for a significant class of individual investors.
Medium –
Fundamental Criteria: This is a risk rating assigned to companies that may have average revenue and
earnings visibility, positive cash flow, and is fairly liquid.
Accordingly, both price volatility and fundamental risk are expected to approximate the industry average.
Low –
Fundamental Criteria: This is a risk rating assigned to companies that may have above-average revenue
and earnings visibility, positive cash flow, and is fairly liquid.
Accordingly, both price volatility and fundamental risk are expected to be below the industry.

Cormedix ($CRMD) - Maxim June 2011 Update

  • 1. EQUITY RESEARCH COMPANY REPORT Biotechnology CorMedix Inc. Buy June 14, 2011 (CRMD – AMEX – $1.60) Closing Price (6/13/11): $1.60 12-Month Target Price: $5.00 One execution milestone completed and Deferiprone in CIN 52-Week Range: $1.08-$2.50 M arket Cap (MM): $18 Phase II trial results expected in 4Q11; Reiterate Buy rating Shares O/S (MM): 11.4 and $5 price target Float (MM ): 10.1 Shares Short (000): 8.2 What’s new? This morning, CorMedix announced completion of Avg. Vol. (000) 11.0 patient enrollment for Deferiprone (CRMD001) in contrast-induced Book Value/Share: $0.47 acute kidney injury (CIN) Phase II study and expects to report the Dividend/Yield: $0.00/0.00% final results in 4Q11. Risk Profile: Speculative Top-line Deferiprone (CRMD001) in CIN prevention Phase II Maxim Group Quarterly Revenue ($M) trial results by the year end, if positive, would be a substantial FYE: December 2010A 2011E upside. The ongoing Phase II trial is double blind, placebo- 1Q $0.0 $0.0 A controlled randomized 60-patoemt study that evaluates the safety 2Q $0.0 $0.0 and efficacy of Deferiprone (CRMD001) on biomarkers of acute 3Q $0.0 $0.0 kidney injury and kidney functions in CKD patients with high risk 4Q $0.0 $0.0 of undergoing a coronary angiography and receiving an iodinated FY $0.0 $0.0 radio-contrast agent. Management anticipates reporting top-line Maxim Group Current Current results potentially by 4Q11 followed by a go/no go decision shortly FYE: December EPS P/E after. In our opinion, a positive outcome would be a major catalyst 2009A: GAAP ($9.48) NM for CRMD share value appreciation given that this would be the 2010A: GAAP ($1.15) NM first clinical proof-of- concept study for Deferiprone as well as the 2011E: GAAP ($0.79) NM success of Neutrolin (CRMD001) so far has accounted for the 2012E: GAAP ($1.08) NM majority of current CRMD share value, in our opinion. LT Earnings Growth NA Neutrolin (CRMD001) developments remain on-track. CRMD Quarterly GAAP EPS has submitted an investigational device exemption (IDE) Maxim Group Current Current application to the FDA and is scheduled to commence a pivotal trial FYE: December 2010A 2011E for Neutrolin in CRBI possibly in mid-11. It has filed for CE mark 1Q ($6.40) ($0.17 A) in Europe for Neutrolin as a prevention of catheter-related 2Q ($0.10) ($0.20) bloodstream infection (CRBI), but due to a workload backup by the 3Q ($0.12) ($0.23) EMEA, potential approval and launch has been push out to 1H12. 4Q ($0.16) ($0.19) CRMD is also in discussions with prospective partners for the FY ($1.15) ($0.79) commercialization of Neutrolin in Europe and we anticipate Consensus-First Call Quarterly EPS potentially more activities in 2H11 and beyond. FYE: December 2010A 2011E Reiterate Buy rating and 12-month target price of $5. With the 1Q ($6.40) ($0.17 A) company’s: 1) lead product Neutrolin expected to start a Phase III 2Q ($0.10) ($0.20) study in 1H11 in the U.S. and to potentially generate revenue from 3Q ($0.12) ($0.23) Europe in 2012; 2) potential positive Deferiprone Phase II study, 4Q ($0.16) ($0.19) which could add substantial value; and 3) low visibility to the FY ($1.15) ($0.79) investment community, CRMD shares remain undervalued, in our opinion. As such, we reiterate our Buy recommendation for CRMD, Yale Jen, Ph.D. (212) 895-3516 with a 12-month target price of $5.00 based on comparable analysis yjen@maximgrp.com of enterprise value against a peer group of Phase II biotech companies.

Maxim Group LLC 4
  • 5. CorMedix Inc. (CRMD) Price Target Risks: Investment risks associated with the achievement of the price target include, but are not limited to, the company’s failure to achieve our earnings and revenue estimates, unforeseen macroeconomic and/or industry events that adversely impact demand for the company’s products and services, product obsolescence, the company’s ability to recruit and retain competent personnel, changes in investor sentiment regarding the specific company or industry, changing competitive pressures and adverse market conditions. For a complete discussion of the risk factors that could affect the market price of the company’s shares, refer to the most recent form 10-Q or 10-K that the company has filed with the SEC. Investment Risks: Aside from general market and other economic risks, risks particular to our CorMedix Inc. rating include: 1) the success of pivotal clinical trials for both Neutrolin and Deferiprone would have major impact for CRMD shareholders; 2) sales potential for the two products could be different significantly from expected; 3) lack of cash could impede corporate development; and 4) thinly traded stock limits shareholder options. RISK RATINGS Risk ratings take into account both fundamental criteria and price volatility. Speculative – Fundamental Criteria: This is a risk rating assigned to early-stage companies with minimal to no revenues, lack of earnings, balance sheet concerns, and/or a short operating history. Accordingly, fundamental risk is expected to be significantly above the industry. Price Volatility: Because of the inherent fundamental criteria of the companies falling within this risk category, the price volatility is expected to be significant with the possibility that the investment could eventually be worthless. Speculative stocks may not be suitable for a significant class of individual investors. High – Fundamental Criteria: This is a risk rating assigned to companies having below-average revenue and earnings visibility, negative cash flow, and low market cap or public float. Accordingly, fundamental risk is expected to be above the industry. Price volatility: The price volatility of companies falling within this category is expected to be above the industry. High-risk stocks may not be suitable for a significant class of individual investors. Medium – Fundamental Criteria: This is a risk rating assigned to companies that may have average revenue and earnings visibility, positive cash flow, and is fairly liquid. Accordingly, both price volatility and fundamental risk are expected to approximate the industry average. Low – Fundamental Criteria: This is a risk rating assigned to companies that may have above-average revenue and earnings visibility, positive cash flow, and is fairly liquid. Accordingly, both price volatility and fundamental risk are expected to be below the industry. Maxim Group LLC 5
