Operating & Financial Review

The Directors of Immuron Limited (‘Immuron’, ‘IMC’, or ‘the Company’) provide the following Report in relation to the Company for the year ended 30 June 2013.

Principal Activities

The Company's principal activity is a product development driven biopharmaceutical Company focused on the research and development of polyclonal antibodies for the treatment and prevention of major diseases. There were no significant changes in the nature of the Company’s principal activities during the financial year.

The loss of the Company after providing for income tax amounted to $3,539,117 (2012: $2,297,520).

Review of Operations

During the financial year ending on 30 June 2013, Immuron continued its three-pronged focus on the global commercialisation of Travelan, the clinical development of IMM-124E for NASH and the development towards clinical stage of an infectious disease product candidate, being IMM-529 for C.difficile infections.

Travelan continues to provide us with the opportunity to substantially increase the company’s short term revenues, whilst both IMM-124E and IMM-529 provide us with the prospect of a longer term, and substantially higher rewards.

Overview of Company’s Activities

During the period under review, the key events reported by Immuron were:

  • Immuron’s principal investigator for its impending NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) Phase IIb clinical trial, Professor Arun Sanyal, has been awarded a National Institutes of Health grant to conduct a clinical trial for the related condition ASH (alcoholic steatohepatitis)

  • An agreement with Harvest & Health Co Ltd, for the distribution of Travelan in China and Taiwan.

  • Results demonstrating that IMM-529 is effective in preventing Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infections in mice.

  • Drawing down $CA0.5M, being the second tranche of the debenture agreement that facilitates a funding arrangement under which Paladin Laboratories Inc., provided a total of $CA 1.5M to Immuron

  • Raising of $1.86M through a fully underwritten renounceable pro-rata rights offer to the company’s shareholders

  • Adoption of a direct-to-wholesalers sales model for Travelan in Australia following termination of the company’s license agreement with Takeda, thereby enabling Immuron to command higher gross margins on its sales of Travelan in Australia.

Travelan

The global commercialisation of our flagship product Travelan, continues to be a focus. By 30 June 2013 Immuron had entered into 4 Travelan commercialisation agreements for several countries in Asia, such that 79% of tourists visiting Asia Pacific will be travelling to countries where Travelan is licensed. Pending marketing approval for several licensed territories, launches in these countries are anticipated this calendar year.

As at 30 June 2013 and currently, we continue to await marketing authorisation from the regulatory authority in Canada which experienced internal delays unrelated to Travelan.

As at 30 June 2013 our relationship with MEDA, our former US licensee, has formally ended after MEDA and Immuron jointly determined that Travelan did not fit the MEDA portfolio. MEDA and Immuron parted on good terms, with the realization that, for Immuron to be able to do full justice to the commercialization of Travelan in the United States, there needs to be a consumer group focus. Immuron is currently in progressed discussions with a more suitable licensing partner.

In June 2013, we announced termination of the company’s license agreement with Takeda for the distribution of Travelan in Australia and New Zealand and adoption of a direct-to-wholesaler strategy. Since 2010 Takeda has achieved market penetration for Travelan in Australia and has built the Travelan brand.

Continued.... Operating & Financial Review

Immuron is leveraging these achievements and applying them to its direct-to-wholesaler strategy through which Immuron commands substantially higher gross margins.

In the financial year ending 30 June 2012, Immuron announced that its sales of Travelan were approximately $450K. In the financial year ending 30 June 2013, Immuron’s sales of Travelan were approximately $150K. We expect substantial increases in the financial year ending 30 June 2014 and thereafter.

In support of the direct-to-wholesaler strategy, Immuron entered into an Agreement with HealthOne, a Sydney-based company, that provides a national pharmacy contracted sales force. Under this Agreement, HealthOne is promoting Travelan based on agreed targets and a revenue sharing arrangement. Our largest shareholder, Grandlodge has been managing the marketing and the logistics associated with the sale of Travelan, including setting up accounts and liaising with pharmaceutical wholesalers. Grandlodge’s involvement has been pivotal in enabling Immuron to adopt its direct-towholesalers model.

IMM-124E for NASH:

We continue to be encouraged by the commercial and scientific interest generated in our NASH product program. At the heart of IMM-124E for NASH is the principle that endotoxins (toxins released by certain types of bacteria) play a key role in the development of NASH, which is also known as “bacterial translocation” or “leaky gut”. These endotoxins activate inflammatory pathways associated with NASH, a proposition which is supported by a number of publications.

Based on our data generated to date, the polyclonal antibodies contained in Immuron’s IMM-124E agglutinate, or stick to, the endotoxins associated with NASH, thereby preventing bacterial translocation and the pathogenesis of NASH. This is achieved by the antibodies comprised in IMM-124E acting in the GI-tract and eliciting a systemic response without crossing into the blood stream. As a bovine colostrum derived product, its safety profile is high. For all these reasons, IMM-124E is attracting significant attention.

During the year ending 30 June 2013 we progressed the development of IMM-124E so that when funds are available to commence the clinical trials, Immuron will be able to progress the clinical trials expeditiously. The preparations have included discussions and with our clinical advisors and potential licensees on the design and optimisation of the NASH Phase 2 trials.

IMM-529 for Clostridium difficile infection:

Clostridium difficile (C.difficile) is a bacteria normally found in people’s intestines. Under certain circumstances C.difficile can multiply and cause diarrhoea as well as potentially life threatening intestinal conditions including colonic perforation and toxic megacolon. Deaths related to C.difficile increased 400% between 2000 and 2007, due in part to a stronger germ strain and antibiotic resistance.

IMM 529 is being designed to both prevent and treat C.difficile infections. Since June 2012, when we announced the first results of our C.difficile program conducted under collaboration with Monash University, we have continued to see very encouraging data, demonstrating its potential as both a preventative and a treatment. These results have formed the basis of patent applications which are designed to provide multiple aspects of monopolistic protection. Additional pre-clinical trials are being designed to support a human trial. IMM-255 for Influenza

In May we announced our decision to end the project for the development of IMM-255 for Influenza. Following a number of pre-clinical trials in mice and ferrets, there was insufficient statistically significant information that supported the efficacy of IMM-255 in protecting against influenza infection.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Corporate Information

This Preliminary Financial Report covers the publicly listed entity of Immuron Limited. The Company's principal activity is a product development driven biopharmaceutical Company focused on the research and development of polyclonal antibodies for the treatment and prevention of major diseases.

The Company's Preliminary Financial Report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an Annual Financial Report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the entity as the full financial report.

Basis of Preparation

This Preliminary Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements, but not all disclosure requirements, of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001. Australian Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards.

Significant accounting policies adopted in preparation of the preliminary financial report are consistent with those adopted by the company in preparation of the 30 June 2012 financial report and the 31 December 2012 half year financial report.

The Preliminary Final Report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

The preliminary financial report is presented in Australian dollars.

Going Concern

At 30 June 2013, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $1,446,712 (2012: $1,443,928) and for the year ended 30 June 2013, the Company experienced an operating loss of $3,539,117 (2012: $2,297,520) and a net cash outflow of $2,045,407 (2012: $2,462,659) from operating activities and expenses associated with research and commercialisation programs.

For the 2014 financial year the Company has budgeted for operating cash outflows to exceed operating cash inflows as it continues its global commercialisation of Travelan and its various research programs. Although the Company is projecting losses and a net cash outflow from operations for the 2014 financial year, the Directors have taken a number of steps to reduce the level of recurring expenses whilst it continues to seek additional licensing arrangements for its Travelan and other products.

In order to fund the budgeted cash outflows for the period, from the 12 months of the date of this report, the Directors will need to achieve the following milestones;

  • generate revenues from Travelan sales in Australia through the new direct-to-wholesalers sales model from 1 July 2013, in line with forecasts,

  • generate new Travelan sales, in line with forecast, through licences entered into in the previous financial year and which are currently seeking regulatory approval in the various jurisdictions,

  • enter into a new licensing agreement or option licensing agreement, which will include an upfront payment within the first half of the 2013 financial year, for the distribution of Travelan in the United States, and

  • achieve production and delivery schedules in order to meet forecast Travelan sales over the coming 12 month period in existing and new markets.

  • Receive a Research and Development tax refund claim in relation to the 2013 year. The company is also in the process of finalising the lodging of amended Research and Development refund claims in relation to the 20102012 financial years where additional prior year activities have now been identified as being claimable.

Page 8 of 15

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued...)

  • Should the company not be successful in achieving the objectives outlined above within the timeframe forecasted or at values below that currently forecast, the company will seek to reduce uncommitted expenditures to operate within available funding and if required the directors will seek additional sources of funding above that already available.

There are significant risks associated with product development and regulatory approvals required by biotechnology companies, it is difficult to predict the timing and quantum of income from the commercialisation of products and technology and there are inherent uncertainties involved in raising funds from investors within forecasted timelines.

As a result of these matters there is material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt as to whether the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

However, the Directors are confident that the Company's planned initiatives will be successfully achieved and these will continue to provide adequate access to financial resources.

Accordingly, the Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. As such, the financial statements do not include any adjustments as to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern.

The Company has resolved not to declare any dividends for the financial year ended 30 June 2013.

Note 5 - Segment Information

Primary Reporting Format - Business Segments

The entity has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the executive management team in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

The executive management team considers the business from both a product and a geographic perspective and has identified three reportable segments.

Management has determined that the business segments of research, development and commercialisation (R & D) and hyperimmune products are the main business segments used for internal reporting purposes to the Management Executive Team.

Other items of income and expense not directly attributable to those two segments are disclosed as a corporate cost segment. Income from license fees is classified as income from commercialisation activities and is included in the R & D segment.

The Board assesses the performance of the operating segments at a number of operating levels including adjusted EBITDA. This measurement excludes the effects of certain expenditure from the operating segments such as depreciation, amortisation and finance costs.

Page 10 of 15

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued...)

The reportable segments are based on aggregated operating segments determined by similarity of expenses, where expenses in the reportable segments exceed 10% of the total expenses for either the current and/or previous reporting period.
