Overview of Company's Activities
During the reporting period, Immuron Limited ("the Company" or "Immuron") continued development and commercialization of its hyperimmune colostrum platform products for the treatment and/or prevention of a number of diseases. The following report on operations details Travelan product commercialization and research and development activities undertaken by the Company in the 6 months period to 31 December 2013.
Review of Operations
Commercialization of Travelan starts to get traction
Immuron continued its successful focus on the global commercialisation of Travelan. During the reporting period the company generated revenues from the sale of Travelan of approximately \$379,615, compared with approximately \$160,488 in the corresponding period during the previous year. This followed termination of our Australian license agreement with Takeda in June 2013 and adoption of a direct-to-wholesaler strategy. We expect further increases in the second half of the 2014 financial year and beyond.
We expect further Travelan revenues will come from our existing agreements with overseas licensees as well as from prospective international licensees with whom we are engaged in discussions.
Of particular note are our distribution efforts in the US. We have been in intensive discussions for some time. Recently it became apparent that these discussions will require more time than originally expected.


IMM-124E for Non-Alcoholic SteatoHepatitis (NASH):
Our NASH product program continues to be potentially Immuron's most substantial asset.
We believe IMM-124E can treat NASH by preventing bacterial translocation or "leaky gut". This means stopping bacteria-derived toxins that can cross into the blood stream from activating inflammatory pathways associated with NASH.
A large part of the funds that Immuron is now raising (see Corporate strategy below) will be applied to prepare for and carry out our NASH Phase II clinical trials.
IMM-124E for alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH)
We hoping to start the US National Institute of Health funded trial in patients afflicted with ASH by June 2014. ASH has the same manifestation as NASH, and results from excessive consumption of alcohol. We expect that the results from the ASH study will provide useful information for our NASH study.
IMM-529 for Clostridium difficile infection:
Clostridium difficile (C.difficile) is a bacteria normally found in human'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. We have continued to see very encouraging data since June 2012, when we announced the first results of our C.difficile program conducted under collaboration with Monash University. The data show its potential as both a preventative and a treatment. We expect to generated further results in support of IMM-529 as a treatment.
Key announcements by date:
- 3 July 2013. Dr. Stewart Washer resigned as a non-executive director and on 2 September 2013 Dr. Elane Zelcer resigned as a non-executive director.
- Alongside the launch of the direct-to-wholesaler strategy, Immuron entered into an agreement with HealthOne, a Sydney-based national pharmacy contracted sales force provider. HealthOne will promote Travelan based on agreed targets and a revenue sharing arrangement.
- 23 October 2013. Immuron received a Notice of Allowance for a key patent by the United States Patents and Trademarks Office (USPTO). The patent claims methods of treating enteric diseases caused by gram negative bacteria with the use of Immuron's hyperimmune colostrum platform technology. The patent has since been registered.
- 7 November 2013. Our IMM-124E therapeutic was presented as a potential therapeutic for fibrosis at the 64th annual meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD), in November in Washington
- 8 November 2013. The United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) cleared an Investigational New Drug (IND) submission to commence a clinical trial of IMM-124E, for the treatment of Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (ASH)
- 13 November 2013. Paladin Labs Inc. received from Health Canada a Product License authorizing the sale of Travelan in Canada.
Directors' Report
Immuron Limited's Business Strategy
Immuron's current strategy is to develop its product candidates to the stage where they can be sold or outlicensed to deliver greatest shareholder value. A key feature of the strategy is that any such license carries license fees and will be coupled with an arrangement under which Immuron maintains and controls the supply and production of its hyperimmune colostrum derived products. so maintaining control over its production technology platform. The timing and the nature of the licenses will vary according to the profile and stage of development for each product.
Corporate
On January 22 2014, the company announced its fully underwritten bid to raise about \$9.66 million before transaction costs, We expect to issue 1,931,745,402 new fully paid ordinary shares (New Shares) at an issue price of \$0.005 (0.5 cents) per New Share.
In the same announcement, we said we intended using the net proceeds raised from the Offer to fund Phase 2B clinical trials for the treatment of Non-Alcoholic SteatoHepatitis (NASH), to continue the global commercialisation of Travelan, to repay the existing debt owed to Paladin, for general working capital purposes, and to fund the development and commercialization of other Immuron products.
Going Concern and Events Occurring after the Reporting Date
At 31 December 2013, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were \$354,203 (30 June 2013: \$1,446,712).
On the 26th February 2014 the Company announced the results of the Rights Issue with the Company receiving a total of \$9,658,727. This consisted of entitlement acceptances in respect of \$1,840,641 from existing shareholders, leaving a shortfall of \$7,818,086 which will be placed by Patersons Securities Limited, the Underwriter.
The Company will use the funds raised from the issue to:
- Fund Phase 2B clinical trials for the treatment of Non-Alcoholic SteatoHepatitis (NASH) Approximately \$5 million
- To continue the global commercialisation of Travelan Approximately \$1.5 million
- To repay the existing debt owed to Paladin Approximately \$1.5 million
- For general working capital purposes and to fund the development and commercialisation of other Immuron Products. – Approximately \$1 million
In accordance with the Rights Issue timetable the allotment of securities and funds will be finalised on 3 rd March 2014.

Note 1. Basis of Preparation
(a) Basis of Preparation
The general purpose financial report for the interim half year reporting period ended 31 December 2013 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.
This half year financial report does not include all 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 2013 and any public announcements made by Immuron Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.
Compliance with AASB 134 "Interim Financial Report" ensures that the financial statements and notes of the entity comply with International Financial Reporting Standards equivalent IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting."
(b) Accounting Policies
The Group was required to change some of its accounting policies as the result of new or revised accounting standards which became effective for the annual reporting period commencing on 1 July 2013.
The affected policies and standards are:
- AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
- AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement
- AASB 119 Accounting for Employee Benefits revised AASB 119 Employee Benefits
| Reference | Title | Summary | Application date of standard |
Impact on financial report |
Application date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AASB 10 | Consolidated Financial Statements |
AASB 10 was issued in August 2011 and replaces the guidance on control and consolidation in AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and in Interpretation 112 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. Under the new principles, the group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. |
1 January 2013 |
No Impact | 1 July 2013 |
| AASB 13 | Fair Value Measurement |
AASB 13 establishes a single source of guidance for determining the fair value of assets and liabilities. AASB 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather, provides guidance on how to determine fair value when fair value is required or permitted. Application of this definition may result in different fair values being determined for the relevant assets. AASB 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This includes information about the assumptions made and the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair value determined. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-8. |

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued…)
| Reference | Title | Summary | Application date of standard |
Impact on financial report |
Application date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AASB 119 | Employee Benefits |
The main change introduced by this standard is to revise the accounting for defined benefit plans. The amendment removes the options for accounting for the liability, and requires that the liabilities arising from such plans is recognised in full with actuarial gains and losses being recognised in other comprehensive income. It also revised the method of calculating the return on plan assets. The revised standard changes the definition of short-term |
1 January 2013 |
No Impact | 1 July 2013 |
| employee benefits. The distinction between short-term and other long-term employee benefits is now based on whether the benefits are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the reporting date. Consequential amendments were also made to other standards via AASB 2011-10. |
All other accounting policies adopted are consistent with the most recent Annual Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2013.
Note 2. Dividends
The company has not declared any dividends in the period ended 31 December 2013 (2012: \$Nil)
Note 3. Segment Information
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 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 Executive Management 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF IMMURON LIMITED
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Immuron Limited (the company). which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity, and statement of cash flows for the half-vear ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors' declaration.
Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of Immuron Limited are responsible for the preparation of the half-year 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 half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410: Review of a Financial Report 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 financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- giving a true and fair view of Immuron Limited's financial position as at 31 December 2013 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
As the auditor of Immuron Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year 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. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
