REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Executive Summary

Biotron's strategy is to systematically grow the value of the Company and work towards a commercial outcome for shareholders. This is best achieved by the demonstration of positive data, from clinical trials and other supporting studies. To date, focus has been on the planned, step-wise clinical development of the Company's lead antiviral drug, BIT225. Significant progress has been made with all the Company's clinical programs, which include clinical trials in HIV1, Hepatitis C virus ('HCV') and in HIV-1/HCV co-infected patients.

Data from completed studies have demonstrated that BIT225 has activity (the antiviral effectiveness) against both HIV-1 and HCV.

During the half-year period under review, further progress has been achieved. Preliminary data have been reported from the Phase 2 HCV 3-month dosing trial (BIT225-008). A paper with data from the Company’s HIV-1 trial was published in an international, peer-reviewed scientific journal, demonstrating that BIT225 has potential to eradicate important viral reservoirs in patients.

A summary of significant events achieved in this first half of the financial year includes:

• Report of interim data from the Phase 2, three-month dosing study of BIT225 in subjects infected with HCV (BIT225-008). The trial has generated important safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic data that will support further development of BIT225 for both HIV-1 and HCV indications.

2

BIOTRON LIMITED

DIRECTORS' REPORT

• Publication of a manuscript containing data from the key trial of BIT225 in HIV-1-infected subjects (BIT225-004) in a prestigious international scientific journal.

• Successful completion of a share purchase plan to eligible shareholders, raising $2 million.

• Showcasing the Company to the international investment community at various events in the USA and Australia.

HCV and HIV Clinical Programs

Significant progress has been made by the Company to date with clinical programs, which include clinical trials in HIV-1, HCV and HIV-1/HCV co-infected populations. BIT225 is in mid-stage clinical development with 7 clinical trials completed to date and one trial currently in progress. Encouraging efficacy results against both HCV and HIV-1 have been achieved in clinical studies completed to date.

In September 2015, the Company reported interim data from the BIT225-008 HCV study. This trial was designed to provide key data for future dosing regimens with BIT225, as well as important longer-term dosing safety data, in addition to providing additional efficacy data against HCV genotypes 1 and 3 (G1 and G3). A review of the interim data by the independent Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) recommended that Biotron should focus on groups with unmet needs such as the HCV G3 population in future studies with BIT225. This is in line with the Company’s previously stated strategy.

The preliminary data from BIT225-008 was positive, and is important for further studies with BIT225. The trial has achieved the following:

• Demonstrated further safety, tolerability over a 3 month dosing period.

• Generated a comprehensive pharmacokinetic data package.

• Proved that the capsule formulation of BIT225 is more effective than previous powder formulations.

• Generated important data that will allow us to accurately define BIT225 dose and dose frequency in future studies.

A comprehensive data pack containing data from this trial, in addition to data from previous trials, is being compiled for future regulatory submission as well as for prospective partners. Future HCV studies will focus on combining BIT225 with new classes of HCV drugs.

Despite advances in HIV-1 treatments, significant hurdles remain. Reservoirs of HIV-1 exist in patients despite treatment with current anti-HIV-1 drugs. Biotron's BIT225 has shown that it targets HIV-1 in one of the main reservoirs, with the potential to reduce viral burdens in patients, and reverse HIV-induced impairment of the immune system. BIT225 is able to cross the blood-brain barrier, and may have an impact on HIV- associated dementia.

In December 2015, data from Biotron’s BIT225-004 HIV-1 trial was published as a peer-reviewed paper, entitled “A Phase 1b/2a study of the safety, pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity of BIT225 in patients with HIV-1 infection” in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy.

This clinical trial demonstrated that BIT225 targets and reduces levels of HIV-1 residing in long-lived monocyte/macrophage reservoirs. These reservoirs exist even in patients undergoing treatment with current antiretroviral drugs, and are responsible for ongoing cycles of reseeding HIV-1 infection.

The study also indicated that BIT225 may impact on immune activation. Immune activation is responsible for a number of ongoing health issues in these patients and treatment strategies are needed to prevent development of associated disorders that include accelerated aging and neurological dysfunction.

Biotron anticipates progressing its HIV-1 program into a Phase 2 trial of BIT225 in combination with current antiretroviral drugs in the second half of 2016.

As previously stated, Biotron proposes to continue to progress these programs through to a commercial outcome. In parallel with progressing clinical development of BIT225, the Company plans to progress discussions with potential partners.

For the second half of the financial year, the Company will be focused on completing specific activities that are prerequisites for filing IND applications for BIT225. These include:

BIOTRON LIMITED

DIRECTORS' REPORT

• Undertaking drug-drug interaction studies of BIT225 with other antiviral drug(s).

• Completing modelling of pharmacokinetic data from previous trials to determine optimal BIT225 dose and frequency in future studies.

• Commencing a phase 2 HIV-1 trial of BIT225 in combination with other anti-HIV-1 drugs, after completing the necessary prerequisite drug-drug interactions studies.

• Expanding testing of Biotron compounds for activity against other key commercially relevant virus targets.

Subsequent Events

No matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the half-year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Company, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in future financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BIOTRON LIMITED

We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial report of Biotron Limited (the 'Company'), which comprises the condensed interim statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, condensed interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed interim statement of changes in equity and condensed interim statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes 1 to 10 comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors' declaration.

Directors' Responsibility for the Interim Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the interim financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the interim financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of Interim and Other Financial Reports Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As auditor of Biotron Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of an interim financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit.
