The Manager Company Announcements Office ASX Limited 20 Bridge St SYDNEY NSW 2000
Dear Sir,
APPENDIX 4C
CBio Limited (ASX: CBZ) is pleased to lodge its Appendix 4C for the quarter ending 30 June 2011.
The Company held cash reserves of $3.909 million at the end of the quarter, an increase of $2.240 million over the previous quarter. Cash outflows during the quarter in relation to operating activities of $2.541 million were lower than the March quarter ($3.023 million), December quarter ($4.370 million) and September ($3.476 million) quarters and reflects the completion of the phase IIa clinical trial in rheumatoid arthritis. In the year to 30 June, expenditure on research & development ($6.694 million) represented the main area of cash expenditure, with total cash outflows in relation to operating activities of $13.285 million for the year.
During the June quarter, the Company completed a share placement, which raised a total of $5.1 million through the issue of 11.6 million shares at $0.44 per share. In addition to the share placement, a further $0.1 million was raised through the exercise of share options during the quarter.
The Company has continued to raise capital during the year in order to have sufficient funding for its clinical program and to provide for other development and commecialisation activities. Appropriate funding will always be a focus for the company and our requirements and initiatives in this regards are always under review.
The Company has continued to access funds under the convertible loan facility it has in place with the SpringTree Special Opportunity Fund LP. Under this fund, CBio can access up to $12.45 million over a three year period until April 2013. As at 30 June, the Company can access up to $7.70 million over the remaining life of the facility. The Company is currently drawing $150,000 per month from the facility, although this can be increased to a maximum of $350,000 per month under the agreement with SpringTree. Should the maximum amount be drawn under the facility each month, $4.2 million would be available to the Company over the coming year. During the June quarter, the Company accessed $450,000 under the SpringTree facility via the issue of three convertible notes. The Company elected to repay each note in cash.
An Appendix 4C accompanies this announcement.

About Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease, mainly characterised by inflammation of the lining of the joints. It can lead to long-term joint damage, resulting in chronic pain, loss of function and disability. The effects of RA are systemic, which means it can affect other organs in the body, and cardiovascular dysfunction in addition to RA is common. RA symptoms can make even the simplest activities – such as opening a jar or taking a walk – difficult to manage. RA has a worldwide distribution with a prevalence of 1 to 2% – which currently equates to approximately 100 million people. Prevalence increases with age, approaching 5% in women over age 55. RA is two to three times more common in women than in men and generally occurs between the ages of 40 and 60, but it can also affect young children and older adults. Currently, there is no cure.
