QUARTERLY SHAREHOLDER UPDATE

April 2011

Imugene Limited (ASX Code: IMU) specialises in the development and commercialisation of novel animal health products for pigs and poultry. Our range of products under development includes vaccines to prevent important livestock diseases and productivity enhancers to improve the economics of raising commercial livestock.

Imugene is pleased to report positive net operating cash flow for the nine months ended 31 March 2011 of $1.2 million and finished the 31 March 2011 quarter with $1.9 million in cash reserves, as detailed in the Appendix 4C released today.

Quarter Highlights

  • Technology and material transfer programs continue.

Technology and Material Transfer

During the quarter ended 31 March 2011, Imugene’s main focus remained on the progressing the technology and material transfer programs. The technology transfer process involves, amongst other matters, the transfer of information and accumulated trial data for Imugene’s range of vaccines and productivity enhancers to our global licensee. The material transfer process involves the physical shipment of vaccines. Both processes advanced well during the quarter and are nearing completion.

Other work undertaken at our laboratory facility at La Trobe University included updating and expansion of our product range to roll out our recent product improvements through the entire range of our vaccines, and to develop specific vaccines for global regions such as Europe. For some diseases, such as PRRS, virus strain variation between the US and Europe may require separate strains of vaccine. Imugene’s technology allows for a simple change in the material delivered to vary a vaccine for administration in another region if required.

Quarterly Shareholder Update – April 2011

About Imugene

Imugene Limited (ASX:IMU) specialises in the development of animal health products for pigs and poultry, including vaccines and productivity enhancers.

These biologically-based vaccines:

  • Improve the health and welfare of pigs and poultry

  • Reduce or eliminate the use of antibiotics, chemicals and drugs, and;

  • Result in economic gains for the industries that use them.

Imugene's product portfolio targets a worldwide US$3 billion animal health market and contains vaccines at each stage of the development process.

Constructed using Imugene’s patented Porcine and Fowl Adenoviral Vector Delivery Systems, these vaccines address some of the major diseases and health issues threatening pig and poultry production worldwide, such as Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS), which causes losses of up to US$1 billion every year.

Imugene has a global licensing agreement with Novartis Animal Health, one of the world’s leading animal health companies.

Together with its Poultry Productivity Enhancer (PPE), the PRRS vaccine is Imugene’s most advanced product.

Among Imugene’s other products are vaccines targeting the poultry disease coccidiosis and the H1N1 and H3N2 swine flu strains and the H7 and H9 avian influenza strains.
