Dear Madam

Appendix 4C

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 4.7B, I attach the Company's Appendix 4C, Quarterly Cash Flows Report, for the quarter ended 31 March 2014.

In addition to the information contained in the Appendix 4C, it should be noted that, subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company announced the receipt of an R&D Tax Incentive refund of $1.7 million for the 2012/13 financial year.

Further, as previously advised, the Company is fully funded for its current BIT225-008 trial, an important Phase 2, 12 week dosing trial of BIT225 in sixty patients infected with HCV genotypes 1 or 3. Expenditure on trials such as BIT225-008 is not linear, rather it is based on patient recruitment and treatment rates and trial milestone events. The R&D Tax Incentive refund strengthens the Company's cash position and supports ongoing underlying expenditure.

Yours sincerely
