Subject: Preliminary Final Report 30 June, 2007 - Appendix 4E.
Dear Sir/Madam
Anadis Limited total revenue for the financial year ending 30 June 2007 was $4.3 million, an increase of 4.5% on the previous year. Revenue is anticipated to rise at least 85% in the 20072008 financial year as a result of new contract manufacturing business already being processed through the company’s Functional Foods Division. Further increases in revenue are also anticipated from Anadis’ antibody-based products and technologies.
A recently completed capital-raising of approximately $700,000 has considerably improved Anadis’ cash reserves.
The result for the 2006-2007 financial year was a net loss of $3.3 million, which included two exceptional items: a severance payment of $375,000 to the company’s former Managing Director/CEO and a non-cash write down of $868,000 for inventory. The inventory write down was largely for hyperimmune colostrum raw material which had been built up over several years. It was considered appropriate to reduce the carrying value of this inventory as a result of uncertainty as to the timing and quantum of future sales. However, the bulk raw material has been confirmed to have strong bioactivity and will be retained for use if and when required in future products.
Anadis commenced the 2007 financial year confident that its two lead products, Travelan and EV-Protec (the latter originally scheduled for launch mid-2007), would generate significant revenue through selected export markets. As explained in the company’s previous announcements there have been delays with the export business development of these products, but there are encouraging signs that perseverance will produce an export breakthrough.
Domestic sales of Travelan have shown a promising uplift, particularly after the “new blue” packaging was introduced in February this year. Although Australia is not a large market the growing acceptance of Travelan domestically is an important commercial endorsement for the proprietary polyclonal antibody technology platform upon which this product is based.
1
This technology platform is the foundation of future products which Anadis, working together over the past year with USA consulting firm Biovance Medical LLC, has identified to address high-value markets with unmet needs.
This work culminated in the appointment in April 2007 of Biovance principal, Dr Zeil Rosenberg, to guide Anadis as its CEO through an international business expansion agenda. This rapidly unfolding agenda, of which more will be announced in the coming months, is repositioning Anadis towards becoming a global leader in polyclonal antibody technology. Anadis is confident that Dr Rosenberg’s experience and location, the USA, will provide many opportunities for the company that are not available in Australia.

ANADIS Limited Notes to preliminary Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2007
This preliminary financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2006 and any public announcements made by Anadis Limited during the year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
Note 1. Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are consistent with those applied in the 30 June 2006 financial report. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of preparation
This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.
(b) Going concern
At 30 June 2007 and 2006, the Company’s cash and investments were approximately $672k and $2.5 million, respectively, and for the year ended 30 June 2007 and 2006, the Company experienced operating losses of $3.2 million and $3.6 million, and operating net cash outflows of $3 million and $2.8 million, respectively. These outflows arose from expenses associated with research and development programs, commercialisation initiatives and $800k from a non cash item as a result of inventory provisions. As a result of the continuing losses and cash outflows from operations the Directors have assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to pay its debts as and when they fall due.
The Company's ability to fund its operations is dependent upon obtaining income from the commercialisation of its research and development projects, supplemented by functional food contract manufacturing and grant incomes, and from the raising of additional capital through new sources of financing. Ultimately, the Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations through the successful commercialisation of its products and technology.
As a result of the difficulty in predicting the timing and quantum of income from the commercialization of its products and technology, including Travelan and EVProtec, there is significant uncertainty whether the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and realise its assets and extinguish 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 during the next 12 months providing access to adequate financial resources. Specifically, increased income flows from the manufacturing segment are expected, resulting from a new business relationship entered into in August 2007.. Furthermore, the company has a history of successful capital raising and has recently completed a capital raising of over $700k (refer Note 8 Subsequent Events). The directors are confident of the company’s ability to raise further capital if the need arises. The Company has also established an Equity line of Credit (Standby Subscription Arrangement, refer Note 6 Contributed Equity and Note 8 Subsequent Events) of $5 million, whereby the company has the ability to draw down cash through the issue of equity. The amount of any drawdown is restricted by the Company’s share trading volumes and share price (refer Note 6 Contributed equity)..
Accordingly, the Directors have prepared the financials 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.

Segment Information
Note 4. Business Segment:
The Company operates in two business segments being the conduct of Research & Development activities and the manufacture of health products.
The consumer health market segments of nutraceuticals and functional foods have been the primary targets for the research-driven biotechnologies and products that Anadis has been developing over some ten years. More recently the commercial targets for the company’s technologies have expanded to include disease prevention and therapy in hospital patients under professional medical care.
A further field of commercial interest for Anadis, which leverages the Company’s capabilities of large scale antibody production, is the diagnosis and containment of lethal bacterial and viral contamination such as applicable to the bio-defense industry.
Anadis has established a strong R&D and Quality maintenance capability to drive the technology innovation and product development for its target markets. The Company’s first product in the consumer health target market, Travelan was launched in Australia in financial year 2005 and export sales activity commenced in financial year 2007.
Anadis has also established a high standard manufacturing plant certified for the manufacture and blending of Functional Foods. The Functional Foods division of Anadis currently operates its manufacturing plant principally for the contract manufacture of third party health food products. Whilst maintaining manufacturing know-how and

formulation expertises through the contract manufacturing activity this business generated over $4million revenue and positive cash flow in the 2007 financial year and is set to grow sharply in the 2008 financial year.

(c) Ordinary Shares
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the company in proportion to the number of and amount paid on the shares held.
On a show of hands every holder of ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by proxy, is entitled to one vote, and upon a poll each share is entitled to one vote.
(d) Options
Information relating to details of options issued, exercised and lapsed during the financial year and options outstanding at the end of the financial year, is set out in the Directors Report
In conjunction with the share placement on 5 June, 2006, the Company issued 862,069 options to an investor. The fair value of the options was determined to be $39,051 and was recorded as additional share capital. These options have now lapsed without being exercised.
(e) Cancelled Shares
Shares in the Company totalling 644,277, held in escrow for an entity in which Mr. C. Graham is a related party, were
cancelled on 13 December, 2005 due to the escrow conditions not being met.
(f) Share buy-back
There is no current on-market buy-back.
(g) Standby Subscription Agreement
As announced to the market on 18 June, 2007 the Company has entered into an agreement with Fortrend Small Cap Investors Limited for a facility to draw up to $5million by the issue of shares and options. The draw downs are at Anadis’ discretion and the facility is available for three years.
The pricing of the shares is based on the market price of Anadis’ listed shares. Draw downs can be made monthly but the number of shares that can be placed each month is restricted by shares on issue, trading volumes and the share price.
In July, 2007, the Company placed 650,000 shares at 15.2 cents. The 650,000 shares were restricted to this amount by trading volumes in the fifteen day period preceding the drawn down.
Of significance is that no issue of shares can occur if the share price trades at less than 16.5 cents for the five days commencing on the day Anadis notifies Fortrend of the intent to draw down.
