- With regulation of antibiotic use in food producing animals H increasing throughout the world, safe and non-chemical solutions are required
- Imugene's production animal products are viable alternatives to solve the increasing problems caused by the emergence of antibiotic resistant 'superbugs' and food residues


Aim to continue to increase shareholder value
by commercialising our product portfolio

through a combination of contract 'biomanufacturing' & partnering arrangements

focusing on lead products with large target markets and rapid market launch times

TECHNOLOGY Platform Technology for Gastrointestinal Disease
RECEPTOR MIMIC
- Next step on from probiotics
- Developed by strong research team
- -4 products currently under development
- All products are for large international markets
- New products planned to ensure product pipeline

Bacteria, viruses and protozoa cause disease by:
RMT - HOW IT WORKS
- Froducing toxins that bind to receptors on the gut wall
- Adhering to receptors on the gut wall
- RMT mimics these receptors
- Toxins or organisms bind to the RMT in the gut and are harmlessly excreted
- RMT prevents the disease production loss Ŵ)
RECEPTOR MIMIC TECHNOLOGY
- Initial external trials should commence by August and take 3-4 weeks to complete
- Scale up to commercial production in TGA approved facility has commenced
- Commercial production by existing approved contract manufacturer
- Distribution through established international veterinary distributors

LIMITED
COMPETITIWE ADVANTAGES
- RMT cannot contribute to antibiotic resistance
- RMT products have no effect on beneficial bacteria Ŷ)
- Cost effective to produce & distribute Ŷ)
- Contract 'bio-manufacturing' facilities widely Ŷ) available world-wide
- More rapid path to market than chemicals or drugs Ŷ)
- No side effects Ŷ)

10 products currently under development
- Waccines against pig and poultry viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases
- Example 3 Biological productivity enhancers
- Large international markets
- Rapid development of new products for new diseases
- PRRS ('pig reproductive & respiratory disease")
- * Avian Influenza ('bird flu')

IPETITIWE ADWANTAGE
- Vaccines are highly protective
- Easy to administer (feed, water or aerosol)
- Multiple trials confirm poultry and pig growth increases up to 10%
- Antibiotic feed additives deliver <4%
- Effective against some diseases that existing vaccines cannot protect against
- Residue free in animal
- No genetic modification of animal

WHY CONTRACT MANUFACTURE?
- Maximises shareholder returns Lower capital expenditure
- TGA approved product sourced from contract manufacturer allows regulatory process to commence much earlier
- Most rapid path to market, first to market
