Half Year Financial Results and Operations Report

February 2012

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 has today released its Interim Financial results for the six month period ended 31 December 2011 reporting revenues of $243,743 and a net loss of $2,680,557. Closing cash balance at 31 December 2011 was $1.5 million.

Full details of the financials are contained in the attached report. The following commentary provides an update on corporate activity and operational highlights for the previous two quarters.

Highlights

  • Negotiations continue on existing technology

  • Investigating new business opportunities

Technology Review

During the final quarter of calendar 2011, Imugene completed a review of its vaccine products and intellectual property portfolio to determine the most appropriate path to follow after the termination of the global license agreement effected late September 2010. The review included some information from our former licensee, including the results of two trials that were undertaken by them.

The review considered both the commercial and scientific aspects of our vaccine products and intellectual property portfolio. The key conclusions are that there are components of our technology that have strong commercial prospects, particularly the pig vaccines. The strong trial results we have generated over the years seem not to always be reproducible when our protocols for determining vaccine concentrations and doses are not followed precisely. Additionally, Imugene has no control over the commercial parameters set or chosen for the successful progression of the vaccines through a partners product development program.

We are considering new approaches for delivering certain vaccines to maximize the efficacy of these vaccines, concentrating on the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) vaccine initially. We are undertaking discussions with interested parties to determine the level of commercial interest in progressing our technology.

Interim Financial Report & Update – February 2012

==> picture [85 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

The cocci vaccine program has been placed on hold following the review of trial results. Whilst the original vaccine showed great promise against the main strain of coccidiosis seen commercially, an effective vaccine would also need to protect against at least two other strains. This was not achieved in the trial and the time to make the additional components of the vaccine to provide that protection would not be commercially viable.

Given the shorter patent lives of the poultry products and the significant amount of further development required for the cocci vaccine, we are placing the development of all poultry vaccines on hold at this time.

We have also taken a prudent approach to all expenditure, research and overhead expenses, for 2012. As stated in previous announcements, laboratory development work has been completed and the laboratory facility at La Trobe University in Melbourne was closed down at the end of October 2011.

New Business Opportunities

The Board is investigating new business opportunities to add value to the Company’s assets. The Company will update when progress is made.

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.

Imugene’s 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.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

ABN 99 009 179 551

For the half-year ended 31 December 2011

==> picture [88 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

1. Significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2011, which have 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 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 2011 and any public announcements made by Imugene Limited during the half-year reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and the corresponding half-year reporting period.

2. Profit / loss for the half-year

Loss for the half year ended 31 December 2011 included the following items which are significant because of their nature, size and incidence:

Income
Revenue from continuing operations
Sub-license / contract research fees
(i)
Expense
Impairment expense
(ii)
Consolidated Consolidated
2011
$
235,913
(2,089,175)
2010
$
1,744,294
-
  • (i) On 13 October 2010, Imugene entered into a Global Agreement with Novartis Animal Health, giving Novartis exclusive global rights to all of Imugene’s technologies and intellectual properties, including vaccines and productivity enhancers. During the half year ended 31 December 2010 Imugene received an initial payment of US$1.75 million for reimbursement of past research fees, ongoing research fees and a licensing fee. Prior to receiving notification of termination of the Global Agreement with Novartis Animal Health, Imugene earned quarterly research fees of US$250,000 during the half year ended 31 December 2011.

  • (ii) In the absence of readily available market prices, the recoverable amounts of assets are determined using estimates of the present value of future cashflows using asset-specific discount rates. In reviewing the recoverable amount of intellectual property, the board has considered the following indicators of impairment:

  • The global licence agreement with Novartis was terminated during the half year period, with our initial interpretation that the results did not satisfy Novartis’ requirements for commercial progression.

  • The financial crisis has had an adverse effect on the life science arena and the ability to raise additional funding to progress intellectual properties through development stages.

It was agreed by the board of directors to impair the carrying value of the intellectual property to nil due to those factors outlined above. The directors of Imugene believe that this does not represent an inability to commercialise the intellectual property.

As at 31 December 2011, the carrying value of intellectual property is nil (30 June 2011: $2,259,745).
