Directors’ Report
The Directors of Imugene Limited (“IMU”, “Imugene”, or “the Company”) and its controlled entities (“Group”) provide the following report in relation to the Company and the Group for the half year ended 31 December 2014.
Directors
The following persons were Directors of the Company during the whole of the half-year and up to the date of this report, unless stated otherwise:
Current: Mr Paul Hopper Executive Chairman Mr Charles Walker Managing Director and CEO Appointed: 30 January 2015 Dr Axel Hoos Non-Executive Director Mr Otto Buttula Non-Executive Director Appointed: 7 July 2014 Former: Dr Nicholas Ede Executive Director Resigned: 23 October 2014 Company Secretaries Justyn Stedwell Company Secretary Phillip Hains Company Secretary & Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
Review and Results of Operations
Imugene completed its transformation to an immune-oncology company. The Company welcomed Otto Buttula as a Non-Executive Director in July 2014 and Charles Walker as CEO in August 2014. The Imugene Board and management are firmly focused on the development of the Company’s HER-Vaxx technology for the treatment of patients with gastric cancer.
Operations
During the period, the Company spent a total of $1.046m on its operations, which includes manufacturing, scientific experimentation and overheads.
The Company began the quarter by appointing Mymetics SA to manufacture HER-Vaxx from its component sources. Manufacture is multi-faceted and the Company ensured the right partner to manufacture HER-Vaxx on time and at the highest quality was engaged. Mymetics SA was chosen as this company was best suited to get the job done. The process is ongoing, and during the period the Company invested $0.375m on this activity.
Scientifically the Company initiated more experiments with founder and Advisory Board member Professor Weidermann at the University of Vienna, in order to assist in the creation of background knowledge to support the IND application, as well as to gain any further insights into the HER-Vaxx technology. Professor
Page 3 of 22
==> picture [132 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
Weidermann’s lab continues work on this and the Company expects to announce the results in the next few weeks. The Company invested $0.148m during the period on this activity.
Financial
One of the major activities during the period was a raising of $3.585m through the issuance of 358,350,000 new shares in the capital of the Company. $0.833m of this was raised by way of a share purchase plan (SPP) from our loyal shareholder base, and the balance of approximately $2.750m was raised from new and existing sophisticated investors, who were mostly clients of Imugene’s corporate advisor, Forrest Capital. The Company believes the success was due to the quality of the Company’s assets to attract the right investors into this fundraising, especially given challenging financial markets, and the Company appreciates the support shown from new and existing investors. The Company will continue to treat the acquired funds as a precious resource and to expend them only after careful thought, with the goal of returning many times the amount invested.
The Company is clear about the goals for the use of the new funds, the vast majority of which concern the clinical development, manufacture and protection of the lead asset HER-Vaxx, and the Company has a detailed list of milestones expected to achieve with the funds, which will be announced as they are completed.
Linguet
The Company announced in November 2014 that it will seek to divest Linguet, consistent with the Company’s focus on deriving value from the HER-Vaxx technology. The Company is in the early stages of discussions, and it is too early to offer any guidance as to the possibility and potential value we may be able to achieve from Linguet.
Outlook
Strategically the Company is developing HER-Vaxx to be a world leading pharmaceutical, useful in the treatment not only of HER-2 positive gastric cancer, but also other HER-2 positive cancers of which there are many, and to which HER-Vaxx could be applied. The Company is focusing its resources on HER-2 positive gastric cancer, as this is an HER-2 positive cancer which is less well served than, eg. HER-2 positive breast cancer, and for which robust trials are considerably more efficient in the expenditure of time and money. The Company is focused on conducting a robust and high standard clinical trial, which can be recognised globally. This will help develop a class leading drug, and attract commercial partners for further development and commercialisation of HER-Vaxx in this and other HER-2 positive cancers.
The Company thanks shareholders, new and old, for their support and look forward to executing the above plan, and to extracting significant value from an as yet unrecognised, but is nevertheless, truly world-class technology. The Company also recognises the contributions from Directors, Management and the Scientific Advisory Board to the Company in terms of their time, investment, and expertise.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ending 31 December 2014
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
Statement of compliance
These financial statements are general purpose financial statements for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2014, which have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.
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 2014 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2014 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.
New Accounting Standards
There are no new accounting standards or interpretations that affect the financial position of the Company to be adopted this reporting period. All accounting policies adopted are consistent with the most recent Annual Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2014.
Going concern
Some of the risks inherent in the development of pharmaceutical product include the uncertainty of patent protection and proprietary rights, whether patent applications and issued patents will offer adequate protection to enable product development or may infringe intellectual property rights of other parties, and obtaining the necessary drug clinical regulatory authority approvals. Also a particular project may fail the research and the clinical development process through lack of efficacy or safety, or maybe stopped or abandoned due to strategic imperatives including an assessment that the projects will not deliver a sufficient return on investment or have been superseded by newer competitive products or technologies. There is a risk that the Group will be unable to find suitable development or commercial partners for its projects, and that these arrangements may not generate a material return for the Group.
Based on current budget forecast assumptions, the Group has sufficient funds to meet current commitments and to pay its debts when they fall due for a period of 12 months from signing the financial report. Additional funds will need to be accessed however to progress the Group’s research & development programs. The ability of the Group to successfully access additional capital, and the amount of additional funds required is dependent on the outcome of its product research & development programs.
Page 11 of 22
==> picture [131 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
Notwithstanding the material uncertainty pertaining to the ability of the Group to continue to access additional capital, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Accordingly the financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.
R&D Tax Incentives
The Groups’ research and development activities are eligible under an Australian Government tax incentive for eligible expenditure from 1 July 2011. Management has assessed these activities and expenditure to determine which are likely to be eligible under the incentive scheme. For the six month period to 31 December 2014 the Group has included an item in other income of $402,323 to recognise this amount which relates to this period. If an amendment to the tax law is passed reducing the refundable tax offset rate by 1.5%, the amount recognised in other income for the six month period to 31 December 2014 would reduce by $13,411.
Share-based Payments
The value attributed to share options issued is an estimate calculated using an appropriate mathematical formula based on an option pricing model. The choice of models and the resultant share option value require assumptions to be made in relation to the likelihood and timing of meeting the conditions of the shares and the value and volatility of the price of the shares.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report To the Members of Imugene Limited
T +61 3 8320 2222 F +61 3 8320 2200 E [email protected] W www.grantthornton.com.au
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Imugene Limited (“Company”), which comprises the consolidated financial statements being the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a statement or description of accounting policies, other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity, comprising both the Company 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 Imugene 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 controls 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 consolidated half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the 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 Imugene Limited consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2014 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.

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 complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
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 2014 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 qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which indicates that consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $1,050,873 for the half-year ended 31 December 2014 and, as of that date, the consolidated entity and cash outflows from operating and investing activities equates to $1,509,941. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
