Northwest Announces Financial and Operating Results
for the Third Quarter Period Ended 30 September 2008
BETHESDA, MD - 20 November 2008 - Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc. (AIM: NWBS and NWBT: OTC BB: NWBO), today announced its results for
the third quarter period ended 30 September 2008 as set forth below and in the attached Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC on 19 November 2008.

As disclosed in its Form 10-Q, despite exceedingly difficult market circumstances, the Company raised $3.65 million in the period from
August through early November 2008. These funds came primarily from new investors in NWBT: $2 million from an institutional investor, SDS
Capital, well known for its track record in healthcare investing, and $650,000 from a group of private investors. The remaining $1 million
was a follow-on investment by Toucan Partners, continuing their prior support of the Company. The funds have been used for general
operations, and will be sufficient to support the Company's day to day operations into December 2008. Northwest continues to enjoy the
support of key shareholders and creditors.
The Company is continuing its activities to raise further funds, and is in late stage discussions with several parties with regard to
additional financing transactions, which it hopes to complete by the end of the year. Shareholders should be aware that if the Company's
capital raising efforts are unsuccessful, this will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and operations.
As also disclosed in the Company's Form 10Q, the Company continued to progress steadily in its operations. On September 11, 2008, the
Company reported the latest long-term follow-up data from its prior Phase I and Phase I/II clinical trials in brain cancer. The latest data
show that over 80% of the patients in these trials treated with DCVax� have shown a clinical response, 84% of the treated patients have
surpassed the median survival time of 14.6 months which is achieved with standard of care treatment, and the median survival time so far in
patients treated with DCVax� is 36.4 months. In the Company's current Phase II trial of DCVax� for brain cancer, the Company has
substantially expanded the number of clinical trial sites and now has 12 sites actively recruiting for the trial across the U.S., with 24
additional sites in varying stages of the approval process. The Company is also progressing well in its Phase I/II trial for metastatic
ovarian cancer, with initial case reports being prepared for publication.
