Review of Operations

The Directors of Imugene Limited present their report on the Consolidated Entity consisting of Imugene Limited (“the Company or Imugene”) and the entities it controlled (“Consolidated Entity or Group”) during the year ended 30 June 2013.

Principal Activities

The Consolidated Entity is an Australian pharmaceutical company with a platform drug delivery platform technology at the centre of its assets. The platform allows drugs in tablet form to be delivered straight into the blood stream via the mouth accelerating onset of action and reducing side effects of absorption in the stomach.

Review of Operations

Operating Results

The Company reported a loss for the full-year ended 30 June 2013 of $1,559,566 (2012: $3,133,433). The loss is after fully expensing all research and development costs.

Summary Review of Operations

Imugene terminated its animal health vaccine portfolio in September 2012 after a final review. Imugene is a pharmaceutical business with a drug delivery platform at the centre of its assets focusing on consumer healthcare products and Vitamin D therapeutics.

Our three key messages are;

  1. We have made rapid progress in advancing our technology for immediate returns.

  2. We are committed to driving the business for the long term.

  3. Our strategy for new innovation and new drug development is fully on track.

In February 2013, Imugene announced changes to its Board and Management structure with the appointment of Dr. Nicholas Ede as an Executive Director. Dr Ede has a record of successfully evolving research concepts to commercial products and processes. He has over 25 years’ experience in drug discovery and international business development gained at Chiron (acquired by Novartis), EqiTX, Mimotopes, Adistem and Consegna.

Along with the appointment of Dr Ede, existing Non-Executive Director, Mr Steve Harris, stepped forward to fill the role of Non-Executive Chairman of the Company following the resignation of the former Executive Chairman, Mr Fabio Pannuti.

The new Director and management structure, together with the existing Non-Executive Director, Mr Paul Hopper, has taken a very prudent approach to all expenditure, drug development, and overhead expenses by cutting monthly cash burn to 20% of 2012 levels.

The Board and Management Team have also engaged The CFO Solution with whom they’re working very closely with to manage all of the Company’s financial and company secretarial functions, which has resulted i n substantial cost and time savings allowing management to focus on fast-tracking its development programs.

Imugene continues to use outsource specialised professional partners and consultants to minimise its overall internal overhead, enabling maximum efficiency and focus from its personnel to generate product and early revenues.

During the twelve months ended 30 June 2013, the Company completed feasibility testing and formulation development for two initial Vitamin D formulations which have been enhanc ed using Imugene’s proprietary Linguet drug delivery technology.

Consumer Healthcare

Imugene is developing firstly a vitamin D supplement tablet, which melts in the mouth, better known as a “meltlet”. The novel formulation, which utilises the Company’s Linguet™ technology, is designed to address issues of the unpleasant taste of vitamins, and alleviate the stress that millions of people face worldwide who suffer with difficulty in swallowing particularly different forms of vitamin tablets. During the year, Imugene commissioned its own research to firstly validate the issues people have with swallowing and secondly, confirm a melt-in-the-mouth tablet is a solution that is desired. Our research has been supported by discussions held with Australian nutraceutical

companies. The vitamins and supplements industry is big business in Australia, worth an estimated $1.5bn each year and the industry is growing at up to 12% annually.

Imugene is also developing a melt-in-the-mouth tablet for ibuprofen, marketed for example as Nurofen® by the Reckitt Benckiser company globally. In June 2013, Imugene contracted IDT Australia to manufacture its ibuprofen tablets. Linguet fast melt 200mg ibuprofen tablets will be formulated to dissolve in the mouth and can then be swallowed, with the goal being there is no burning from acidic ibuprofen and no throat catch. Global ibuprofen sales in 2011 were $US1.98B with the Nurofen® brand in 2012 contributing sales of $US472M (12% growth on 2011).

Therapeutic Program

One-third of Australian adults are Vitamin D deficient.

Imugene will develop a prescription Vitamin D tablet for buccal delivery. Linguet supports “buccal” administration of drugs straight to the blood stream via absorption through the lining of the mouth. There are direct links between several diseases such as diabetes, cancer and chronic kidney disease and a deficiency of vitamin D.

While current vitamin D supplements are available over the counter and by prescription, they do not deliver sufficient amounts or consistent amounts of Vitamin D due to the varying absorption of the drug when it is passed through the gastro-intestinal tract via an oral delivery method.

Commercialisation progress

Imugene’s formulations of Vitamin D have now advanced through formulation development. There is a high level of interest amongst pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies for new and innovative forms of Vitamin D given the rising rates of deficiency and the lack of novel dosage forms in development. Imugene has commenced preliminary licensing discussions for its nutritional supplement form of Vitamin D.

Events Occurring After Reporting Date

In August 2013, Imugene reported that after completing formulation development on its novel Linguet form of Vitamin D, it had progressed to commercialisation discussions with Australian vitamin manufacturers and suppliers.

In August 2013, Imugene also reported the official granting of a key Japanese patent application for the Company’s novel drug delivery technology Linguet™ (patent no: 5256425), following on from an earlier allo wance in March 2013.
