Review and Results of Operations
Operating Results
The Company reported a loss for the half-year ended 31 December 2012 of $1,235,999 (2011: $2,680,557). The loss is after fully expensing all research and development costs.
Summary Review of Operations
During the six months ended 31 December 2012, the Company completed feasibility testing and formulation development for two initial Vitamin D formulations which had been enhanced using Imugene’s proprietary Linguet drug delivery technology.
The Company’s strategy is to focus on the development of a class of drugs known as super generics – which involves taking a known molecule and improving its effectiveness by applying a drug delivery technology. The Company is focused on candidates where its technology has the ability to address a significant market need and deliver commercial advantages, such as extended patent life and improved efficacy. Imugene’s first target is a novel dosage form of Vitamin D, designed to rapidly address Vitamin D deficiency. The Linguet drug delivery technology enables the drug to be delivered by being absorbed through the buccal mucosa, the lining of the cheek, directly into the bloodstream which avoids the need for the drug having to pass through the liver or gastro-intestinal tract.
The Company has decided to initially focus on the delivery of Vitamin D as Vitamin D deficiency is a major public health concern, and affects 31% of all Australian adults, and more than 1 billion people worldwide. Vitamin D deficiency has also been associated with a wide range of conditions including pre-diabetes, osteoporosis, cardiovascular health and prostate cancer.

(ASX: IMU)
==> picture [116 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
While current 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. Furthermore, if the drug is absorbed too effectively by the gastro-intestinal tract, which can result in high doses of supplements producing marked surges in blood Vitamin D levels, thereby promoting local aberrations in calcium and phosphorous homeostasis, which may result in an increased risk of hypercalciuria, hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia, all being very serious medical indications.
Vitamin D supplementation above the normal requirements is frequently needed in certain individuals however, currently available oral Vitamin D supplements are not well suited for maintaining blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels at optimal levels given the problems of administering high doses of immediate release Vitamin D compounds.
Imugene’s Vitamin D formulation provides a dosage form that effectively and safely restores blood 25hydroxyvitamin D levels without the transient surges associated with the current over-the-counter supplements and prescription-only Vitamin D treatments. Imugene’s buccal tablet will be available in a high dose form for rapid treatment of Vitamin D deficiency, and will also be available in a lower dose maintenance form. The formulation of the drug uses a specialised Vitamin D molecule which is five times more effective at raising serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D than colecalciferol and ergocalciferol, which are the main ingredients in the overthe-counter supplements currently on the market.
Commercialisation progress
Imugene’s high and low dose formulations of Vitamin D have now advanced through formulation development. Long-term stability studies and laboratory testing for the transport of the molecule across the buccal mucosa are now underway. These tests are due for completion by Q4 2013. A bioequivalence clinical study will be conducted in parallel before regulatory filing in the UK for a nutritional supplement. The target for achieving this is Q2 2014.
There is a high level of interest amongst pharmaceutical companies, predominantly in Europe and increasingly worldwide, 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 both its high dose (prescription) and maintenance dose (nutritional supplement) forms of Vitamin D.
Events Occurring After Reporting Date
Changes to Board and Management
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.
He has established joint ventures and partnerships with some of the leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in the world, including a global alliance with the world’s 4th largest biotechnology company Genzyme Inc, Invitrogen Inc, GSK, Pfizer, Merck, and the Broad Institute (a joint venture of Harvard and MIT) among others. Dr Ede holds a PhD from Monash University and Grad. Cert. in Innovation from Melbourne Business School, and has published over 60 scientific papers and patents.
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 in 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ending 31 December 2012
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted in Australia. Compliance with these standards ensures that the financial statements of Imugene Limited comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
These financial statements are general purpose financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2012, which have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.
Basis of preparation
This half year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an Annual Report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Group.
Accordingly, this financial report should be read in conjunction with the 2012 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2012 and any public announcements made by Imugene Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group’s 2012 Annual Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2012, except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to the operations and effective for the current period.
The same accounting policies and methods of computation have generally been followed in these half-year financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements, except as follows:
- AASB 2011-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income
Comparatives have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation. The reclassification does not have an impact on the results presented.
Going concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As at 31 December 2012, the consolidated entity has incurred an operating loss of $1,235,999 (31 December 2011: loss of $2,680,557). As at the half year ended 31 December 2012, the consolidated entity’s net assets were $2,053,622 (30 June 2012: $1,073,413). The consolidated entity’s cash position has reduced to $747,470 at 31 December 2012 from $1,016,748 at 30 June 2012.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ending 31 December 2012 (Continued…)
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
The Board considers that the Company is a going concern and recognises that additional funding is required to ensure that the Company can continue to fund its and the consolidated entity’s operations and further develop its assets during the twelve month period from the date of this financial report. Such additional funding, can he derived from either one or a combination of the following:
-
The placement of securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or otherwise;
-
An excluded offer pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001: or
-
The sale of assets.
Accordingly, the Directors believe that subject to prevailing equity market conditions, the Company will obtain sufficient funding to enable it and the consolidated entity to continue as going concerns and that it is appropriate to adopt that basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial report. Should the company be unable to obtain sufficient funding as outlined above, there is significant uncertainty whether or not the entity will be able to continue as a going concern.

(i) On 31[st] July 2012, the Company acquired 100% of issue shares of Lingual Consegna Pty Ltd from Consegna Group Limited. The assets acquired include the Linguet Patented Buccal Delivery intellectual property. For further details, please refer to Note 7 Business Combination.
-
(ii) In the absence of readily available market prices, the recoverable amounts of the intangible assets are determined based on a discounted cash flow model, using estimates of the present value of future cash flows using asset-specific discount rates.
At 31 December 2012, the Board has reviewed the assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model that was used to evaluate the carrying value of the newly acquired Linguet Patented Buccal Delivery intellectual property and believe the assumptions remain reasonable. The Board has resolved to maintain the carrying value of the intellectual property at its current level and no impairment has been charged. The Board will reevaluate the carrying value of the intellectual properties at 30 June 2013.
At 30 June 2012, the Board had resolved to impair the carrying value of the intellectual property to nil due to the following considerations:
-
The global licence agreement with Novartis was terminated during the financial year 2011-2012, with an 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.
As at 31 December 2012, the carrying value of the intellectual properties is $870,179 (30 June 2012: nil).

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF IMUGENE LIMITED
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Imugene Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a statement of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the disclosing entity and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the disclosing entity 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 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 half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2012 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 Imugene 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 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Imugene Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd ABN 79 112 284 787 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO (Australia) Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd and BDO (Australia) Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation (other than for the acts or omissions of financial services licensees) in each State or Territory other than Tasmania.
==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Imugene Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2012 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Emphasis of Matter
Without modifying our conclusion, as disclosed in financial report, Imugene Limited incurred a net loss of $1,235,999 and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $1,051,978 during the six month period ended 31 December 2012. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business.
