ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
Appendix 4C Quarterly Cash Flow Report 31 March 2021
Sydney, Australia & Auckland, New Zealand, 27 April 2021 – Living Cell Technologies Limited today released its cash flow report for the quarter ended 31 March 2021. The Appendix 4C is attached.
Following its exit from the peptide projects with the University of Auckland, LCT continues to conserve cash as the company explores options that align with its strategy. We will update shareholders should we progress any discussions beyond the current very early stages.
4C Commentary
The company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $2,240,007 compared to $2,308,702 in the previous quarter.
Operating payments this quarter of $375,895 are less than last quarter of $690,100 which included a milestone payment to the University of Auckland.
Net operating cash flow in the quarter was $(188,893) compared to $(213,704) in the previous quarter. Receipts from grants and tax incentives were $186,901 lower than the previous quarter of $472,159. The previous quarter included a receipt of NZD 472,000 from the New Zealand Inland Revenue department for R & D tax credits.
It is further noted that the amount stated in 6.1 of the appendix 4C is for directors‘ fees paid to directors and their companies.
As the payment to the University of Auckland projects of NZD 400,000 was paid during April this is not reflected in the current cash position.
Authorised for release by the Board of Living Cell Technologies Limited.

About Living Cell Technologies
Living Cell Technologies Limited (LCT) is an Australasian biotechnology company that has focused on discovering and developing novel treatments for debilitating conditions such as diabetes and Parkinson’s disease.
LCT has outlicensed DIABECELL (alginate coated capsule containing neonatal porcine pancreatic cells) to Diatranz Otsuka Limited to continue the development of a cell therapy for type 1 diabetes in return for a royalty arrangement.
LCT is evaluating the next step in the development of NTCELL (alginate coated capsule containing clusters of neonatal porcine choroid plexus cells) after completing phase 2a and 2b clinical studies in Parkinson’s Disease. In a Phase IIb trial of NTCELL, there was not a statistically significant difference between the groups who received NTCELL and the placebo group at the 26-week study endpoint. However, at 24 months post-implant a clinically relevant effect was observed (<-6.45 points from baseline) in two of the three treatment groups.
LCT continues to seek new product project opportunities and also interactions that leverage its financial assets.
LCT is listed on the Australian (ASX: LCT) and US (OTCQX: LVCLY) stock exchanges. The company is incorporated in Australia, with its operations based in New Zealand.
