SECTION 1

1999 - Johann Maria III, martxa a f

Dear Investor

On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to invite you to invest in HalcyGen Pharmaceuticals Limited (HalcyGen), a company that has attractive opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry through a strong commercial relationship with Mayne Pharma International Pty Ltd (whose parent company, Mayne Pharma Limited was acquired by Hospira, Inc in February 2007) (Mayne).

By this Prospectus, HalcyGen is offering to issue 25,000,000 Shares at a price of \$0.50 per Share. This Offer is fully underwritten by Tolhurst Limited.

Through its licence agreements with Mayne, HalcyGen aims to bridge the gap between the mainstream pharmaceutical industry and high volume generics companies through the development of new and improved proprietary generic formulations. Such formulations are known as "Improved Chemical Entities" or "SuperGenerics". SuperGeneric formulations aim to improve generic reference pharmaceuticals, in order to create safer, more efficacious and/or easier to use pharmaceuticals.

Like generics, SuperGenerics offer potentially shorter lead times to market compared with the development of new pharmaceuticals. However, unlike generics, SuperGenerics may be granted patent protection as a result of the improvements made to the generic formulation from which they originate, thereby enabling a pricing premium to be applied to sales of the SuperGeneric.

As at the date of this Prospectus, HalcyGen's portfolio of products comprises two potential SuperGenerics - SUBA-Itraconazole and Minocycline - which HalcyGen has licensed from Mayne on an exclusive world-wide basis. HalcyGen also intends to actively investigate other licensing opportunities and is in negotiation with Mayne in respect of an additional pharmaceutical formulation.

Under its existing licences with Mayne, HalcyGen is obliged to use its best endeavours to develop the two licensed potential SuperGenerics. In this regard, HalcyGen is aiming to:

  • implement both phase II and phase III clinical trials in respect of SUBA-Itraconazole in late 2007 / early 2008; and
  • manufacture and formulate Minocycline in late 2007 in preparation for its proposed clinical development in 2008. $\bullet$

The licences with Mayne entitle HalcyGen to derive revenues from any eventual worldwide sales of the developed product, including royalties payable by Mayne under its first right of refusal to exclusively market the developed pharmaceuticals in Australia and New Zealand. Subject to the successful completion of SUBA-Itraconazole's phase III clinical trials and regulatory registration. HalcyGen hopes to identify a global marketing partner for SUBA-Itraconzole in the 2008 calendar year.

HalcyGen raised \$4.2 million in September 2006 to begin funding the costs of its product development commitments under the licences with Mayne. HalcyGen has made encouraging progress on the development strategy for SUBA-Itraconazole since that time.

The purpose of this Offer is to provide HalcyGen with the additional financial resources to:

  • fund the proposed phase II and phase III clinical trials of SUBA-Itraconazole, with the aim of achieving accelerated requiatory registration of the product:
  • cover the costs of its product development commitments for both SUBA-Itraconazole and Minocycline under its licences with Mayne, and potentially provide some initial funding towards the product development costs associated with additional products that HalcyGen may license in the future;
  • enable HalcyGen to manage its intellectual property portfolio and support (to the extent it has responsibility for) the prosecution of patent applications for its licensed products and any developed intellectual property;
  • support HalcyGen's proposed initial activities in identifying a global marketing partner for SUBA-Itraconazole; and
  • cover HalcyGen's administrative costs and overheads.

Details of the Offer are included in this Prospectus. I recommend that you read it carefully. An investment in HalcyGen should be considered speculative.

The closing date for application and payment is 5pm Melbourne time on 19 June 2007.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I commend the Offer to you and look forward to welcoming you as a Shareholder.

Yours sincerely

Roger Aston Chairman and Chief Executive Officer HalcyGen Pharmaceuticals Limited 23 May 2007

2.1 Overview of HalcyGen

Through its licence agreements with Mayne, HalcyGen operates as a licensee and developer of pharmaceutical formulations which will potentially have the properties of "SuperGenerics". SuperGenerics aim to improve generic reference pharmaceuticals in order to create safer, more efficacious and/or easier to use pharmaceuticals.

However, unlike generics, SuperGenerics may be granted patent protection through the improvements made to the generic formulation from which they originate, thereby enabling a pricing premium to be applied to sales of the SuperGeneric product.

HalcyGen's strategy is to:

  • · identify and license improved proprietary pharmaceutical formulations of existing generic pharmaceuticals, known as "SuperGenerics":
  • develop and seek regulatory registration and, where relevant, patent protection, of these SuperGenerics for worldwide sale: and
  • sub-license the marketing and sales of the developed SuperGenerics to third party marketing partners and receive royalty income from the ultimate product sales.

As at the date of this Prospectus, HalcyGen's portfolio of products comprises two potential SuperGenerics - SUBA-ftraconazole and Minocycline - which HalcyGen has licensed from Mayne.

3.1 Executive summary

The pharmaceutical industry is involved in the development, production and supply of medicines, drugs and other pharmaceutical products used to treat or prevent disease or otherwise to assist in maintaining the quality of life.

There are 3 broad categories of pharmaceuticals:

  • novel pharmaceuticals which, on average, take around 10 to 12 years and over US\$500 million to develop, but which typically benefit commercially from patent protection;
  • generic pharmaceuticals which use identical chemistry and functionality of novel pharmaceuticals that have come offpatent, and thus require significantly less time and funding to develop but which are generally not protected by patents; and
  • * SuperGeneric pharmaceuticals which are "next generation" versions of off-patent pharmaceuticals, typically developed by modifying the formulation and/or drug delivery systems of the reference pharmaceutical. The resulting SuperGeneric may be patentable, and is usually subject to less development time and costs than that associated with novel pharmaceuticals.

This section provides further background information about the pharmaceutical industry, generics and SuperGenerics

3.2 The pharmaceutical industry and the "generic" challenge

During the 1990s there was significant growth in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. However, new drug approvals are slowing. From 1995 through 1999, new drug approvals by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) averaged 37 per year. In contrast, during the 3 year period from January 2004 through to December 2006, only 37 new drug approvals were granted.

On average it takes about 10 to 12 years and over US\$500 million to develop a new drug, and there is no guarantee that the drug will be a commercial success. However, as world-wide sales of pharmaceuticals run into the hundreds of billions of dollars, the potential for financial rewards on successfully developing a new drug can be substantial.

Worldwide Pharmaceutical - Sales 2005 - Total Sales US\$565.9 Billion

Historically, a key driver to the growth of the pharmaceutical industry has been the introduction of patent protection for novel drugs. More recently, the ageing population of many Western countries, and their expectations for quality health outcomes. have continued to drive the growth of pharmaceutical sales.

One of the current challenges facing pharmaceutical companies is the expiration of the patents on their drugs and the associated generic competition that often follows.

Patents

Patents provide the patent owner with the legal means to prevent others from making, using, or selling their new invention for a limited period of time (generally 20 years). Patents in the pharmaceutical industry are often directed to the "chemical entity" or "molecule" that has been discovered to have some useful property. Patents are also granted on other aspects of pharmaceutical products, such as drug delivery formulations and improvements in the way a certain drug can be formulated to act in the human body. Manufacturing patents are also commonplace in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

The validity of a patent is determined, in the first instance, by the various patent agencies around the globe. Their principal criteria fall into three broad categories:

a i kredne kontrol $\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline $\cdots$ & $\cdots$ & $\cdots$ \ $\cdots$ & $\cdots$ & $\cdots$ \ $\cdots$ & $\cdots$ & $\cdots$ \ \hline \end{tabular}$

  • . Novelty is the product, formulation or process novel? That is, has the invention been undertaken previously by others?
  • Inventive step Is the invention or discovery surprising and unexpected? That is, would an individual skilled in the art have made the invention sooner or later in the normal course of activity or was the invention an inventive step?
  • . Industrial application Does the invention have clear industrial or clinical application?

Once a patent expires on a drug or product formulation, generic pharmaceutical companies take the opportunity to produce "generic" versions of the off-patent product and market it in direct competition to the original product. As a result, product pricing drops dramatically and the profitability becomes dependent on factors such as manufacturing costs and labour costs.

Generics

A generic drug is a pharmaceutical product which has the same qualitative and quantitative composition of active substances and the same pharmaceutical form as the original reference drug. This identical chemistry and functionality is known as "bioequivalence".

In contrast to the slowing approvals of new drugs, the generics industry has undergone significant growth in recent times. By way of example, in 2004, the FDA Office of Generic Drugs received 474 abbreviated new drug applications for approval to market a generic product. In 2006, almost 800 were received.

The growth in the generics industry can be attributed to a number of factors, including the number of drugs coming off-patent as well as the subsidies and incentives being offered by governments to encourage the launch of generics and manage the ever increasing cost of healthcare.

Global sales of generic drugs (2003) are shown in the diagram below:

With patents on more than 300 drugs expiring in the next four years and increasing generic competition, pharmaceutical companies are under intense pressure to replace these products with new or improved drugs.

Life cycle management

A "life cycle management" strategy is a strategy used by a large number of pharmaceutical companies to extend the term of patent protection of, and thereby maximize and extend the commercial return on, key drugs. Such a strategy involves the development of a "next generation" variation of a product to replace their key drugs when the patent is nearing its expiration date and there is an upcoming risk of generic competition.

Improved versions of the off-patent drug may be achieved through re-formulating the drug, or improving the drug delivery system to provide the patient with more convenient dosing, better safety or efficacy. This development work can be undertaken at a fraction of the cost of developing a new drug, due to the vast amount of human safety and performance data available for a drug that has been on the market during the course of its patent life.

3.3 SuperGenerics

A SuperGeneric drug is a "next generation" version of an existing drug and the result of product "life cycle management". If involves certain changes being made to the formulation and/or drug delivery systems of the original reference off-patent drug, which provide a significant or material advancement in the performance or efficacy of the drug and/or improved safety and reduced side effects.

Potential benefits of SuperGenerics include:

  • . Renewed patent protection: the new improved formulation or drug delivery system may be patentable, thereby renewing the patent protection available for the drug formulation being marketed
  • Faster regulatory approval: as SuperGenerics are based on existing approved drugs, the regulatory registration process is typically simpler and shorter than for new drugs
  • . Improved efficacy: improved formulations of a drug may mean that the drug can work more effectively or that the body can use the drug more effectively
  • Lower drug dosage: by reformulating a drug or improving its delivery, it is possible to give the patient a lower dose of the drug, but still achieve the same desired drug concentration in the blood - the effect of which is known as improved bioavailability
  • . Improved safety: typically, lower drug dosages means increased safety and reduced side effects
  • . Improved patient compliance: a product that has better delivery and lower side effects may be used more compliantly by the patient (for example, the improvements could remove the need for the drug to be taken with food for optimal efficacy)
  • * Product and pricing differentiation: an improved product can be marketed differently and may command a pricing premium to its generic counterpart
  • . Increased market size: any significant improvement of safety, efficacy or compliance could lead to greater sales

3.4 Drug development and the regulatory environment

As noted above, the process of developing a new drug is time consuming and expensive and comes with no guarantees of regulatory or commercial success.

The following table summarises at a high level the process involved to register a new drug in the US.

SUMMARY OF NEW DRUG DEVELOPMENT PROCESS IN THE US

(3) An IND is an investigational new drug sonligation which is filed with the FDA to begin to test a drug in people. It shows the regults of previous experiments (2) An NDA is a new drug application which must contain all of the scientific information that the company has gathered as a result of the finee phases of clinical trials.

The approval process of a generic drug is much simpler and quicker as a result of the amount of information already available on the drug itself. The following diagram provides a comparison of the approval process for generic and novel pharmaceuticals.

GENERIC PHARMACEUTICAL . 2 - 4 years

ALGEMENT STA

For SuperGenerics, the process, while likely to be more detailed than that required for a standard generic, is comparatively much simpler and shorter than that for new drugs.

3.5 Marketing, sales and royalties

Distribution and marketing

In the pharmaceutical industry, getting the product to the right patient in the right environment is the task of distribution and marketing. Many drugs are sold directly to hospitals and generally must be administered by a qualified person. Other products may be prescription-based and are sold to pharmacies for on-selling to patients. Finally, there are non-prescription, over-thecounter drugs that the general public can access on an as needs basis. Many important drugs are subsidized by governments in order to reduce the financial burden on patients (for example, via the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme),

Royalties and payments

Royalties paid on licences for proprietary pharmaceuticals are highly dependent on the clinical advantage being offered by the new product and whether there is any significant competition.

Furthermore, the licence fees and royalties paid by a marketing partner to a developer of a patented drug are dependent on the stage of development of the drug when the marketing licence arrangement is concluded. The fees and royalties increase correspondingly with the proximity of product to market sales. For instance, a product which is licensed at the pre-clinical phase will typically garner significantly lower royalties than a product which is licensed to a marketing partner following completion of phase III clinical studies.

SECTION 4
OWENVIEW of HaldyGen

4.1 Company history and background

HalcyGen was incorporated on 18 August 2005.

HalcyGen was established to:

  • identify and license improved proprietary pharmaceutical formulations of existing conventional generic pharmaceuticals known as "SuperGenerics";
  • develop and seek requlatory registration and, where relevant, patent protection, of these SuperGenerics for worldwide sale; and
  • sub-license the marketing and sales of the developed SuperGenerics to third party marketing partners and receive royalty íncome on ultimate product sales.

As at the date of this Prospectus, HaloyGen's portfolio of products comprises two potential SuperGenerics-SUBA-ftraconazole and Minocycline - which HalcyGen has licensed from Mayne. HalcyGen also intends to actively investigate other licensing opportunities and is in negotiation with Mayne in respect of an additional pharmaceutical formulation.

4.2 Current SuperGenerics under licence

Anti-fungal - Itraconazole

Itraconazole is a synthetic broad-spectrum anti-fungal agent developed and marketed worldwide by Janssen / Janssen-Cilag under the brand name Sporanox. Anti-fungal agents are often used to address fungal infections in elderly, immuno-suppressed and cancer patients. Global sales of Sporanox and other Itraconazole formulations are currently in excess of US\$600 million.

Itraconazole is difficult to formulate as an orally bioavailable product and therefore most formulations have a relatively low oral bioavailability (that is, a large dose must be administered orally to a patient to ensure that a sufficient concentration of the active incredient is absorbed into the bloodstream). This is caused by the low aqueous solubility of Itraconazole. Consequently, Itraconazole formulations such as Sporanox capsules exhibit a significant food effect and carry an "administer with food" label, requiring the patient to administer the drug in combination with a high energy food intake.

Mayne has developed a patent protected Itraconazole formulation (Superbioavailable Itraconazole or SUBA-Itraconazole) that offers superior oral bioavailability to Sporanox. As a consequence of the superior oral bioavailability, the dose required of SUBA-Itraconazole to achieve comparable levels of absorption into the bloodstream to that achieved by Sporanox is significantly reduced. SUBA-Itraconazole also exhibits an oral bioavailability which is only slightly affected by food and hence may be permitted to be sold with a "take with or without regard to meals" label.

Another competing anti-fungal agent is marketed by Pfizer Inc under the brand name Fluconazole. Fluconazole's sales currently exceed US\$750 million. HalcyGen expects that the SUBA-Itraconazole formulation may also target a portion of the Fluconazole market.

Antibiotic - Minocycline

Minocycline is a member of the broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic family. It works by preventing the growth and spread of bacteria. It is marketed under several trade names, including Minomycin, Minocin, Arestin, and Dynacin. Minocycline formulations are the largest selling tetracycline world-wide, with current global sales in excess of US\$400 million.

Minocycline is used to treat bacterial infections including pneumonia and other respiratory tract infections, acne and infections of skin, genital, and urinary systems. It can also be used to eliminate bacteria from the nose and throat.

Minocycline has been used extensively for decades as an antimicrobial agent in humans and has been used in chronic rheumatoid arthritis. The most common adverse effects of Minocycline are: anorexia, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, rash, hypersensitivity reactions and headache. Minocycline is therefore an excellent candidate for side-effect reduction and hence there is a potential market for the development and production of a proprietary SuperGeneric product.

Mayne has developed a patent protected Minocycline re-formulation. HalcyGen proposes to further develop this re-formulation through clinical trials, with the aim of developing a re-formulation which reduces the typical side effects.

4.3 Licensing arrangements with Mayne

The licensing arrangements between HalcyGen and Mayne provide HalcyGen with the opportunity to capitalise on the historic investment made by Mayne in developing the licensed formulations to date.

In particular, HaleyGen is provided with access to Mayne's:

  • product development skills and services;
  • international regulatory and technical affairs skills;
  • proven drug delivery technology;
  • · commercial product manufacturing capabilities; and
  • · TGA and FDA licensed manufacturing facility in Salisbury, South Australia.

Under the licences, HalcyGen is obliged to undertake phase II and phase III clinical trials of both Minocycline and SUBA-Itraconazole with the aim of building on the improvements achieved by Mayne to date as well as improving on the functionality of these products through additional development plans.

A summary of the key terms and conditions of the Mayne licence agreements is set out in section 9.5.

4.4 Clinical studies and development

HalcyGen plans to engage contract research organisations in order to facilitate the development of its licensed products through clinical studies.

HalcyGen has engaged CMAX, a division of Institute of Drug Technology Australia Limited, to conduct pilot studies which form part of the phase II clinical trials program in respect of SUBA-Itraconazole. These studies are expected to commence in mid 2007 and will be overseen by HalcyGen.

These further clinical and safety evaluations will enable HalcyGen to develop the potential SuperGenerics it has licensed. Through its relationships with Mayne, CMAX and other third parties, HaloyGen aims to:

  • · establish GMP conditions for the manufacture of its two products; and
  • demonstrate the benefits of its products to a standard which will enable regulatory submission for registration purposes.

4.5 Marketing

At appropriate intervals during the development and registration of its licensed SuperGenerics. HalcyGen plans to identify suitable marketing partners to sub-license the products on terms which maximise milestone and royalty revenues for HalcyGen. HalcyGen's marketing partner will be responsible for all promotional, marketing, distribution and sales activities relating to the SuperGenerics.

HalcyGen's reliance on potential marketing partners exposes HalcyGen to the risk that a suitable marketing partner may not be identified or that an agreement on terms suitable to HalcyGen may not be reached. This risk is discussed further in section 8.8.

4.6 Work programs

SUBA-Itraconazole:

  • · Further pharmacokinetic analysis mid 2007
  • · Dialoque with requlatory agencies mid 2007
  • · Clinical exhibit manufacture mid 2007
  • · Phase III pivotal study late 2007 to early 2008
  • · Filing for registration 2008
  • · Licence partner 2008
  • · Launch 2008/2009

Minocycline:

  • · Further pharmacokinetic analysis late 2007
  • · Proof of concept study showing improved safety via phase IIB clinical trials 2008 / 2009
  • · Manufacture exhibit batches 2008
  • · Regulatory submission 2009
  • · Seek partner 2008/2009
  • · Launch 2010

The above work programs represent HalcyGen's current view as to the likely steps and timing of the implementation of its strategy. However, events may occur which could alter the timetable or make it unachievable. The timetable is highly dependent on the timely and successful manufacturing, at each stage of the clinical development process, of sample drug batches which are compliant with the relevant Australian and US requlatory requirements. Any non-compliance with these requirements could result in delays to the proposed work programs. This risk is discussed further in sections 8.5 and 8.6.

4.7 Intellectual property portfolio

Licensed intellectual property

As a consequence of its licences from Mayne, HalcyGen has global exclusive licences in respect of the patents (and patent applications) set out in the following tables (the Background IP).

Under the licences, Mayne is responsible for prosecuting and maintaining (at its cost) all relevant Background IP patents, patent applications, trade marks and trade mark applications and must consult with HalcyGen and keep it informed in respect of the status of all such activities.

SUBA-Itraconazole -- Background IP

The grant of Australian Patent No. 782469 was originally opposed by Pfizer, Inc.

This opposition was subsequently withdrawn by Prizer prior to the fling of any evidence and the patent proceeded to grant.

Investors should be aware that patent applications in some jurisdictions may take up to 7 years to be examined before a patent may be granted.

New intellectual property

Any new intellectual property developed in respect of SUBA-Itraconazole and Minocycline as a consequence of the development and manufacturing programs undertaken by Mayne will vest in HalcyGen.

Mayne is required to keep HalcyGen informed of all results of the development program and must notify HalcyGen of any patentable inventions or potentially patentable inventions that are developed during the development program.

HalcyGen has the right, at its own expense, to file, prosecute and maintain patent applications to protect the new intellectual property. If HalcyGen does not file patent application within 12 months of completing the development program, then Mayne may file a patent application in its own name.

The value of any new intellectual property vested in HalcyGen may be adversely affected if one or both of the Mayne licence agreements are terminated or if Mayne does not comply with its obligations in respect of protecting the Background IP. These risks are discussed further in section 8.3.

4.8 Location and facilities

HalcyGen's corporate offices are based at Level 10, 470 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria 3000, Australia.

Current development and pilot scale batch production is being undertaken to support phase II and phase III trials of SUBA-Itraconazole and Minocycline at Mayne's Salisbury plant in South Australia.

If either product proceeds to commercial scale production, a manufacturing and services agreement with Mayne will be negotiated in accordance with the requirements of the licences with Mayne. These licences give Mayne a first right of refusal to manufacture the products, and a right to receive royalty payments if not appointed to manufacture the products. The licences are discussed further in section 9.5.

Mayne is required to use commercially reasonable endeavours to seek to agree a manufacturing agreement on commercially reasonable terms, to allow HalcyGen to utilise Mayne's manufacturing facility in Salisbury, South Australia. This facility is GMP certified by the FDA in the US and the TGA in Australia.

CONTRACTOR

A similar process will be implemented for Minocycline commencing in late 2007. Mayne has been engaged to undertake the product development and manufacturing of Minocycline. HalcyGen proposes to engage CMAX or another contract research organisation to undertake the clinical work at hospitals using facilities that are compliant with GCP (Good Clinical Practice).

5.3 Additional funding

The Directors believe the funds raised from the Offer will give HalcyGen sufficient available funds to achieve its objectives as stated in sections 2.3 and 5.1.

However, the funds raised under this Prospectus are unlikely to be sufficient to enable HalcyGen to obtain regulatory approval of the products or undertake pre-sales marketing. As stated in sections 4.1 and 4.5, HalcyGen's strategy is to sub-license its products to marketing partners that are in a position to assist with the marketing and sales of the products. HalcyGen will need to raise additional capital in the future if suitable marketing partners cannot be identified and HalcyGen seeks to market and sell the products without such partners.

HalcyGen may also seek additional funding in the form of industry-based state and federal government grants to assist with development and clinical trialling of its products. There is no guarantee that HalcyGen will be successful in seeking such funding. This risk is discussed in section 8.11.

Notes to the financial information

The summarised financial information, for inclusion in the Prospectus, comprises extracts of the 30 June 2006 audited financial report, the 31 December 2006 reviewed financial information and pro forma financial information. It has been prepared in accordance with Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (A-IFRS, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board) and the Corporations Act 2001. The summarised financial information has been prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historical costs.

The significant policies which have been adopted in the preparation of this financial information are:

Income tax

The income tax expense on revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and by unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the fiability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity

1. Income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities

The prima facie tax, using tax rates applicable in the country of operation, on operating loss differs from the income tax provided in the accounts as follows:

Half-vear anded

2. Share-based payments

During the half-year ended 31 December 2006 the following unlisted Options over unissued Shares were issued by HalcvGen:

Options issued Exercise price Expiry date
250,000 \$0.10 -30 June 2010

As at 31 December 2006 HalcyGen had on issue 5,250,000 (30 June 2006: 5,000,000) unlisted Options over unissued Shares.

During the half-year ended 31 December 2006 an amount of \$10,610 (period ended 30 June 2006: Nil) was recognised as an expense and corresponding movement in equity in respect of the fair value of Options issued as equity based compensation. Details of the valuation, using the Black Scholes Option Valuation Model, of Options granted during the period are as follows:

Number of options Exercise price Expiry date Risk free interest rate Volatility Value per option
250,000 SO.10- 30 Jun 2010 - - 5.96% 70%- \$0.0968

3. Research and development expenditure

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognised in profit or loss when incurred.

Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Development expenditure is capitalised only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and HalcyGen intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Other development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss when incurred.

Capitalised development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment fosses.

6.3 Pro-forma consolidated balance sheet

The principal effect of the Offer will be to:

  • increase cash reserves by approximately \$12,500,000 less estimated costs of the offer before costs immediately after completion of the Offer; and
  • increase the number of Shares on issue from 51,099,000 to 76,099,000.

Set out below is an unaudited pro-forma balance sheet of HalcyGen as at 31 December 2006 incorporating the effect of the Offer. It is based on the reviewed balance sheet for HalcyGen as at 31 December 2006. The pro-forma balance sheet illustrates the effect of the Offer as if the Offer had occurred on 31 December 2006, fully subscribed (\$12,500,000) and net of the costs of the Offer.

Details of the costs of the Offer are shown in section 9.16 of the Prospectus and in note (i) below.

7.2 Corporate governance

The Board of HalcyGen has established corporate governance policies and procedures which the Directors believe are appropriate, given the current size and activities of HalcyGen.

HalcyGen, including all of its Directors and employees, is committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance and ethical behaviour in all dealings and activities. Subsequent to listing, HalcyGen intends to ensure that, to the extent practicable and appropriate, its policies and procedures are consistent with the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Prínciples of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations. In particular, HalcyGen intends to appoint an independent Chairman.

As at the date of this Prospectus, HalcyGen does not have an audit committee.

7.3 Board charter

The Board monitors the progress and performance of HalcyGen on behalf of its Shareholders, by whom it is elected and to whom it is accountable. The Board charter, which is summarised below, seeks to ensure that the Board discharges its responsibilities in an effective and capable manner.

The responsibilities of the Board under the charter include:

  • overseeing the control and accountability systems of HalcyGen;
  • appointing and removing the chief executive officer;
  • ratifying the appointment and, where appropriate, the removal of the chief financial officer and the company secretary;
  • having input into, and final approval of, the corporate strategy and performance objectives developed by management;
  • reviewing and ratifying the systems of risk management, the internal compliance and control measures, the codes of conduct and the external compliance measures implemented by management;
  • monitoring senior management's performance and the implementation of the corporate strategy;
  • ensuring appropriate resources are available and approving and monitoring the progress of major capital expenditure, capital management transactions and acquisitions and divestitures;
  • approving and monitoring financial and other reporting; and
  • monitoring compliance of tax processes.

7.4 Composition of the Board

It is the policy of HalcyGen that:

  • the Board comprises individuals with a range of skills, experience and attributes appropriate for HalcyGen and its business; and
  • the principal criterion for the appointment of new Directors is their ability to add value to HalcyGen and its business.

No formal nomination committee or procedures have been adopted for the identification, appointment and review of the Board membership. However, an informal assessment process, facilitated by the Chairman in consultation with HalcyGen's professional advisors, has been committed to by the Board.

The number of directors must not be less than 3.

At this stage, the Board does not consider the formal establishment of a performance evaluation strategy necessary. Performance evaluation is a discretionary matter for consideration by the entire Board and it will meet annually to assess the performance of the Directors, senior management and the Board as a whole.

7.5 Securities trading policy

Directors, officers and other employees of HalcyGen will be in possession of information relating to HalcyGen and, possibly, other companies. From time to time, some of this information may be classified as "inside information". It is a criminal offence for a person in possession of inside information in relation to a company to trade, or procure another person to trade, in securities of that company. HalcyGen has adopted a securities trading policy that explains the prohibition on insider trading and also limits trading by Directors and employees to specific "trading windows". All trades within the trading windows by Directors and employees must be notified in advance to the Chairman of the Board and clearance must be obtained for the particular trade. Any trading by the Chairman must be approved by the full Board.

The securities trading policy does not restrict participation in HalcyGen's employee share options plan but does restrict trading in the Shares to which Directors or employees become entitled under the plan. However, participation in the plan is subject to the insider trading laws at all times.

7.6 Independent professional advice

Subject to the Chairman's approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Directors, at HalcyGen's expense, may obtain independent professional advice on issues arising in the course of their duties.

7.7 External andit

Shareholders in general meetings are responsible for the appointment of the external auditors of HalcyGen, and the Board from time to time will review the scope and performance of those external auditors.

7.8 Identification and management of risk

The Board's collective experience will enable accurate identification of the principal risks that may affect HalcyGen's business. Key operational risks and their management will be recurring items for deliberation at Board meetings.

7.9 Continuous disclosure policy

HalcyGen is committed to continuous disclosure of material information as a means of promoting transparency and investor confidence. The practices of HalcyGen are fully compliant with the ASX Listing Rules, including in particular those regarding continuous disclosure.

7.10 Shareholder communications strategy

HalcyGen places great importance on the communication of accurate and timely information to its Shareholders and market participants and recognises that efficient and continuous contact with stakeholders is an essential part of earning their trust and loyalty.

ASX announcements, half-yearly reports and presentations will be posted to HalcyGen's website regularly.

HalcyGen's register of Shareholders is maintained by Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited.

SECTION 8
RISK 180101S

-1951-1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 -

8.1 Introduction

There are a number of factors, both specific to HalcyGen and of a general nature, which may affect the future operating and financial performance of HalcyGen and the value of an investment in HalcyGen.

Some of these factors can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate commercial action. However, many are outside the control of HalcyGen and cannot be mitigated.

This section describes certain, but not all, risks associated with an investment in HalcyGen. Each of the risks set out below could, if they eventuate, have a material adverse effect on HalcyGen's financial performance, financial position and cash flows and the price of the Shares.

Prior to making an investment decision, prospective investors should read the Prospectus in its entirety and, in particular, should consider the risk factors described below. You should carefully consider these factors in light of your personal circumstances and seek professional advice from your accountant, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser before deciding whether to invest.

The following is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which HalcyGen is exposed. This section identifies the areas that the Directors believe to be the major risks associated with an investment in HalcyGen.

8.2 Share investment

Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for the Shares. There can be no guarantee that an active market in the Shares will develop.

fnvestors should be aware that there are risks associated with investment in companies listed on a stock exchange. The value of the Shares can be expected to fluctuate depending on various factors, including general worldwide economic conditions, changes in government policies, investor perceptions (of the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry generally as well as of HalcyGen itself), movements in interest rates and stock markets, variations in the operating costs and costs of capital replacement which HalcyGen may in the future require. Accordingly, assuming that the Shares are granted official quotation by ASX, the Shares may trade on the market operated by ASX at higher or lower prices than the issue price under the Offer.

Each potential investor should consider whether the Shares are a suitable investment for them before deciding to invest in the Shares. Any investor in doubt about investing in Shares should consult their stockbroker, accountant, lawyer or other professional adviser immediately.

8.3 Intellectual property risks

HalcyGen's success depends on the ability of HalcyGen or its licensors (including in particular, Mayne) to:

  • obtain and maintain patents:
  • · maintain trade secret protection; and
  • operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties.

Maintaining the patent position for the products licensed to HalcyGen involves complex legal and factual questions. The risks and uncertainties faced with respect to patents and other proprietary rights include the following:

  • . the pending patent applications filed or to which HalcyGen has exclusive rights may not result in issued patents or may take longer than expected to result in issued patents;
  • the claims of any patents issued may not provide meaningful protection;
  • the patents issued may not provide a competitive advantage or commercially significant protection:
  • other companies may challenge patents licensed to HalcyGen, and given the complex nature of the products, this could lead to expensive and lengthy disputes for which there can be no guaranteed outcome; and
  • other companies may independently develop similar or alternative products.

While HalcyGen plans to implement all reasonable measures to protect the products it licenses, there can be no assurance that these measures will be sufficient.

A Transición

As noted in section 4.7, under the licences between Mayne and HalcyGen, Mayne is responsible for prosecuting and maintaining (at its cost) all relevant patents and patent applications in respect of the licensed Background IP. Accordingly, HalcyGen is subject to the risk that Mayne does not take all appropriate steps to secure such protection. However, Mayne continues to own the Background IP and must consult with HalcyGen and must keep it informed in respect of the status of all such activities.

The value of any new intellectual property vested in HalcyGen under the Mayne licence agreements may be adversely affected if one or both of the Mayne licence agreements are terminated or if Mayne does not comply with its obligations in respect of protecting the Background IP.

8.4 Regulatory risks

The pharmaceutical requlatory regime, which includes preclinical studies and clinical trials of each product in order to establish its safety and efficacy, is uncertain, can take significant periods of time, and require the expenditure of significant resources. Data obtained from preclínical and clinical activities are susceptible to varving interpretations, which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval or clearance.

In addition, delays or rejections may be encountered based upon changes in regulatory policy during the period of product development and/or the period of review of any application for regulatory approval or clearance for a product. Delays in obtaining regulatory approvals or clearances:

  • may adversely affect the marketing of any products developed;
  • · could impose significant additional costs;
  • · may diminish any competitive advantages of the product; and
  • could adversely affect the ability of HalcyGen to receive royalties and generate revenues and profits.

Regulatory approval, if granted, may entail limitations on the indicated uses for which the approved product may be marketed. These limitations could reduce the size of the potential market for such products. Product approvals, once granted, may be withdrawn. Further, manufacturers of approved products are subject to ongoing regulation, including compliance with detailed regulations governing GMP. Failure to comply with manufacturing regulations can result in, among other things, warning letters, fines, injunctions, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production and criminal prosecution.

8.5 Development of products

HalcyGen is relying on its own abilities and that of its strategic alliance partners (including Mayne and CMAX) to successfully develop and commercialise its products. A failure to successfully develop and commercialise these products could lead to a loss of opportunities and adversely impact on HalcyGen's operating results and financial position.

Further, the development and commercialisation of pharmaceutical products is subject to the inherent risk of failure, including the possibility that the products licensed to HalcyGen:

  • are found to be unsafe or ineffective:
  • · fail to demonstrate any material benefit or advancement in safety and/or efficacy of a generic product;
  • fail to receive necessary regulatory approvals;
  • are difficult or impossible to manufacture on a large scale;
  • · are uneconomical to market or otherwise not commercially exploitable;
  • · fail to be developed prior to the successful marketing of a similar product by competitors;
  • compete with products marketed by third parties that are superior;
  • · fail to achieve the support or acceptance of physicians, patients or the medical community; and
  • treat conditions which, due to other developments, have a reduced incidence. For example, developments in other medical treatments, including oncology, could reduce infection incidences and thus the demand for anti-infective drugs, including anti-fungals (such as Itraconazole) and antibiotics (such as Minocycline).

-1951-1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 - 1955 -

8.6 Counterparty risk

HalcyGen is heavily reliant on its strategic partners, including:

  • Mayne and any other future licensors of products to HalcyGen;
  • . CMAX and any other contract research organizations engaged by HalcyGen to undertake clinical studies;
  • . Mayne and any other future manufacturers of products engaged by HalcyGen; and
  • any development or marketing partners engaged by HalcyGen.

A failure by any of its strategic partners to comply with their commitments could lead to a loss of opportunities for HalcyGen and adversely impact on HalcyGen's operating results and financial position.

8.7 Product liability and uninsured risks

HalcyGen may experience losses due to product liability claims. Product liability insurance may not be adequate or may not be available in sufficient amounts, at an acceptable cost, or at all. A product liability claim, product recall or other claim, as well as any claims for uninsured liabilities or in excess of insured liabilities, may have a significant adverse effect on HalcvGen.

HalcyGen may also experience losses due to failure of laboratory equipment, computer equipment or other facilities used by it or for its benefit. Appropriate insurance coverage may not be adequate or may not be available in sufficient amounts, at an acceptable cost, or at all. Catastrophic loss caused by such failure may have a significant adverse effect on HalcyGen.

8.8 Licensing and marketing risks

HalcyGen currently has no sales and marketing capabilities. HalcyGen intends to sub-license its products during their development to sub-ficensees that are able to market and sell these products on HalcyGen's behalf.

HalcyGen may be unable to establish or maintain such relationships on terms suitable to HalcyGen with appropriate third parties that have effective sales forces, and may be required to market its products directly. HalcyGen may need to raise additional capital in the future if it seeks to commercialise the products directly, but may not be able to build an effective in-house sales capability.

8.9 Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme

The commercial success of HalcyGen's products may be impacted on whether or not they receive governmental support via schemes such as Australia's Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. Continuing focus on low cost generic options for pharmaceuticals that come off-patent may reduce the availability of such support for more expensive SuperGenerics.

8.10 Competition

There is a risk that HalcyGen will not be able to compete profitably in the competitive pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries in the long term. In particular, HalcyGen may not be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors where aggressive pricing policies are employed to capture market share.

The potential exists for the nature and extent of the competition to change rapidly, which may cause loss to HalcyGen. That competition could result in price reductions and reduced gross margins which could materially adversely affect HalcyGen's operating results.

8.11 Unforeseen expenditure risk

HalcyGen's future expansion is dependent upon having adequate capital available to fund its business objectives. The Directors expect that the proceeds from this Offer will provide sufficient capital resources to enable HalcyGen to achieve its initial business objectives, as stated in sections 2.3 and 5.1.

A TYPE OF P

However, expenditure may need to be incurred that has not been taken into account in the preparation of this Prospectus. For example, HalcyGen will need to raise additional capital in the future if suitable marketing partners cannot be identified and HalcyGen seeks to market and sell its products without such partners.

Should HalcyGen require additional funding, there can be no assurance that additional funds will be available on acceptable terms or at all.

8.12 Reliance on key management

HalcyGen depends substantially on its senior management, the loss of whose services might significantly delay or prevent the achievement of its business objectives. Currently, HalcyGen has no insurance against the adverse effects of the loss of senior nersonnel.

The ability of HalcyGen to retain and attract qualified individuals is critical to its success. HalcyGen may not be able to attract and retain such individuals currently or in the future, on acceptable terms, or at all, and the failure to do so would significantly harm the business.

8.13 Legislative risk

The introduction of new legislation or regulations, or amendments to existing legislation or regulations, by governments, developments in existing common law, or the interpretation of the legal requirements in any of the legal jurisdictions which govern HalcyGen's operations or contractual obligations, could impact adversely on the assets, operations and, ultimately, the financial performance of HalcyGen and the Shares.

8.14 Shares eligible for future sales

Following completion of the Offer, the Shares held by HalcyGen's Current Shareholders will be subject to certain restrictions concerning disposal as summarised in section 9.7. Following expiry of the relevant restriction periods, the Shares will be eligible for sale, subject only to compliance with applicable securities laws and regulations. In addition, HalcyGen may issue additional Shares without Shareholder approval in certain circumstances or with Shareholder approval. However, under the Underwriting Agreement, HalcyGen is subject to certain restrictions concerning the issue of additional Shares during the 6 month period following the Closing Date.

No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of Shares, or the availability of Shares for future sales, will have on the market price of Shares prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial numbers of Shares in HalcyGen, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price for the Shares.

SECTION 9
Additional information

9.1 Incorporation of HalcyGen

HalcyGen was registered in Western Australia on 18 August 2005 as a public company limited by Shares.

9.2 HalovGen's tax status

HalcyGen will be taxed as a public company in Australia. The statutory accounts of HalcyGen will be made up to 30 June annually.

9.3 HalcyGen's Constitution

(A) Rights attaching to Shares

The Shares to be issued under this Prospectus will rank equally with the existing fully-paid ordinary Shares in HalcyGen.

The rights and liabilities attaching to Shares are set out in the Constitution, and, in certain circumstances, are regulated by the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and general law. The Constitution may be inspected during normal business hours at the registered office of HalcyGen at Level 10, 470 Collins Street, Melbourne Victoria 3000.

The following is a summary of the principal rights of the holders of ordinary Shares of HalcyGen. This summary is not exhaustive nor does it constitute a definitive statement of the rights and liabilities of HalcyGen's members,

General meeting and notices

Each member is entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, general meetings of HalcyGen and to receive all notices, accounts and other documents required to be sent to members under the Constitution, the Corporations Act or the ASX Listing Rules.

Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at a general meeting of HalcyGen every holder of Shares present in person or by an attorney, representative or proxy has one vote on a show of hands (unless a member has appointed 2 proxies or has appointed a proxy who is also a member, in which case the proxy or proxies has or have no vote on a show of hands) and one vote per Share on a poll.

A person who holds an ordinary share in the capital of HalcyGen which is not fully-paid is entitled, on a poll, to a fraction of a vote equal to the proportion which the amount paid bears to the total issue price of that share.

Where there are 2 or more joint holders of a Share and more than one of them is present at a general meeting, in person or by proxy, attorney or representative, and tender a vote in respect of the Share, HalcyGen will count only the vote cast by, or on behalf of, the member whose name appears first in HalcyGen's register of members.

Issues of further Shares

The Board may, on behalf of HalcyGen, issue, grant Options over or otherwise dispose of unissued Shares to any person on the terms, with the rights, and at the times that the Board decides. However, the Board must act in accordance with the restrictions imposed by the Constitution, the ASX Listing Rules, the Corporations Act and any rights for the time being attached to the class of those shares.

Variation of rights

At present, HalcyGen has on issue one class of shares only, namely the Shares.

Subject to the Corporations Act, if HalcyGen issues different classes of shares or divides issued Shares into different classes, the rights attached to the shares in any class may be varied or cancelled only with the written consent of the holders of at least three-quarters of the issued shares of the affected class, or by special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the issued shares of the affected class.

Transfer of Shares

Subject to the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, the Shares are freely transferable.

The Shares may be transferred by any computerised or electronic system of transferring or dealing with Shares established or recognised by the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules or the ASTC Settlement Rules and as otherwise permitted by the Corporations Act or by a document, the usual form of which is permitted by law.

The Board may refuse to register a transfer of Shares only if that refusal would not contravene the ASX Listing Rules or the ASTC Settlement Rules. If the Board refuses to register a transfer, HalcyGen must give the lodging party written notice of the refusal and the reasons for it within 5 business days after the transfer is delivered to HalcyGen. The Board must not register a transfer of Shares if the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules or the ASTC Settlement Rules forbid registration.

Partly-paid Shares

The Board may, subject to compliance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, issue partlypaid ordinary shares upon which there are outstanding amounts payable. See above for voting rights for partly-paid shares and below for dividend rights.

Dividends

Subject to the Constitution and the Corporations Act, the Board may resolve to pay any dividend it thinks appropriate and fix the time for payment. Subject to the terms of issue of the shares, HalcyGen may pay a dividend on one class of shares to the exclusion of another class.

Each share of a class on which the Board resolves to pay a dividend carries the right to participate in the dividend in the same proportion that the amount for the time being paid on the share (excluding any amount paid in advance of calls) bears to the total issue price of the share.

Winding up

Subject to the terms of issue of shares, if HalcyGen is wound up, members will be entitled to participate in any surplus assets of HalcyGen in proportion to the percentage of the capital paid up on their shares.

Dividend reinvestment and Share plans

The Board may adopt and implement dividend reinvestment plans (under which any member may elect that dividends payable by HalcyGen be reinvested by way of subscription for Shares in HalcyGen) and any other share plans (under which any member may elect to forego any dividends that may be payable on all or some of the Shares held by that member and to receive instead some other entitiement, including the issue of Shares).

(B) Directors

The Constitution states that the minimum number of Directors is 3.

(C) Powers of the Board

Except as otherwise required by the Corporations Act, any other law, the ASX Listing Rules or the Constitution, the Board has power to manage the business of HalcyGen and may exercise every right, power or capacity of HalcyGen to the exclusion of the members (except to sell or dispose of the main undertaking of HalcyGen).

(D) Share buy-backs

Subject to the provisions of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, HalcyGen may buy back Shares in itself on terms and at times determined by the Board.

9.4 HalcyGen Options

HalcyGen Share Option Plan

HalcyGen has established an Employee Share Option Plan (Plan) to assist in the recruitment, reward, retention and motivation of employees and officers of HalcyGen. Under the rules of the Plan, the Directors may determine which employees or officers are eligible for participation in the Plan and may make offers to those executives to take up Options.

9.5 Mayne Licence and Development Agreements

On 31 July 2006, HalcyGen and Mayne entered into the Licence and Development Agreement for Minocycline (the Minocycline Licence) and the Licence and Development Agreement for SUBA-Itraconazole (the Itraconazole Licence) (the Minocycline Licence and the Itraconazole Licence, collectively, the Mayne Licence Agreements).

The Minocycline Licence relates to the development of the pharmaceutical product known as Minocycline, and the Itraconazole Licence relates to the pharmaceutical product known as SUBA-Itraconazole (each of these pharmaceutical products, a Developed Product).

The Mayne Licence Agreements are a central component of HalcyGen's business. Any material adverse change in the rights and obligations of HalcyGen and Mayne under the Mayne Licence Agreements may have a materially adverse effect on HalcyGen's operating results and financial position.

The following is a summary of the principal rights and obligations of the parties to the Mayne Licence Agreements.

Grant of licence to HalcvGen

Under the Mayne Licence Agreements, Mayne grants to HalcyGen an exclusive worldwide licence over the background intellectual property of Mayne created or acquired by Mayne prior to 31 July 2006 that relates to each of the Developed Products (including patents, patent applications, trademarks, copyrights, designs, research data and inventions) (Background $IP$ ), to:

  • develop, manufacture, market and sell the Developed Products (either directly itself or via other distributors) for the treatment of infections and other diseases in humans and animals throughout the world; and
  • subject to certain conditions, sub-license the rights granted under the Mayne Licence Agreements to other distributors.

Mayne is responsible for prosecuting and maintaining (at its cost) all relevant Background IP patents, patent applications, trade marks and trade mark applications and must consult with HalcyGen and keep it informed in respect of the status of all such activities.

Under the Mayne Licence Agreements, Mayne represents and warrants that, to the best of its actual knowledge and belief, it is the owner of the Background IP and is entitled to grant the licence to the Background IP under the Mayne Licence Agreements. Mayne does not, however, provide any warranty or indemnity in relation to the risk of any Developed Product infringing any third party's intellectual property.

Nothing in the Mayne Licence Agreements gives HalcyGen a proprietary interest in the Background IP.

Mayne's first right of refusal to manufacture the Developed Products

HalcyGen grants to Mayne an exclusive first right of refusal to manufacture the Developed Products for HalcyGen. The parties are required to negotiate exclusively and in good faith, using commercially reasonable endeavours to agree on a manufacturing agreement on commercially reasonable terms, for a period of 6 months from the completion of the development of the Developed Products.

If the parties fail to reach agreement within the 6 month period, HalcyGen may offer the manufacturing rights to any third party on the same terms and conditions as those offered to Mayne.

HalcyGen may amend the terms of any offer made to a third party, provided that those amended terms are first offered exclusively to Mayne for a period of 30 days.

Mayne's right to royalty where Mayne not appointed as manufacturer

If Mayne is not appointed as manufacturer of the Developed Products, HalcyGen must pay to Mayne a royalty of:

  • 30% of all income received from HalcyGen's distributors in relation to sales of the Developed Products in Australia, Canada, the European Union, the United States of America and Japan, and, in respect of the Minocycline Licence, also in relation to sales of Minocycline in Singapore, New Zealand and Norway; and
  • 1% of all other income received from HalcyGen's distributors in relation to sales of the Developed Products where such íncome ís less than A\$2,000,000 per calendar year and 2% where such income is equal to or greater than A\$2,000,000 per calendar vear.

Mayne's first right of refusal to market the Developed Products in Australia and New Zealand

HalcyGen must use best endeavours to market, sell and distribute the Developed Products throughout the world.

HalcyGen grants to Mayne an exclusive first right of refusal to market, promote, distribute and sell the Developed Products in Australia and New Zealand. The parties are required to negotiate exclusively and in good faith, using commercially reasonable endeavours to agree a marketing and distribution agreement on commercially reasonable terms, for a period of 6 months from the day on which HalcyGen notifies Mayne that it wishes to commence negotiations.

If the parties fail to reach agreement within the 6 month period, HalcyGen may offer the marketing and distribution rights to any third party on the same terms and conditions as those offered to Mayne.

Development program and fees

HalcyGen has also engaged Mayne to conduct a development program in relation to the development of each of the Developed Products.

Each Mayne Licence Agreement provides for the establishment of a development committee to oversee the progress of the development program and for bi-annual reporting by Mayne on the progress of the development program.

In consideration for conducting the development program, each month on receipt of an invoice from Mayne, HalcyGen must pay to Mayne a fee calculated by the reference to the hours worked by Mayne employees engaged in the development program, the hours of use of Mayne's manufacturing facilities and the cost of materials and external supplies used.

The fees are not contingent on the successful completion of the development program. The fees are also subject to certain predetermined estimates which, if exceeded, may be increased by agreement between the parties or on the determination of an independent expert appointed by the parties. These fee estimates are included in the costs of product development disclosed in section 5.1.

Ownership of developed intellectual property

As noted in section 4.7, the intellectual property in any improvements (including any modification, development or improvement) made to the Background IP by Mayne in accordance with the development programs and in the Developed Products resulting from the development programs (the Developed IP) vests in HalcyGen.

Mayne must keep HalcyGen informed of all results of the development program and must notify HalcyGen of any patentable inventions or potentially patentable inventions that are developed during the development program.

HalcyGen has the right, at its own expense, to file, prosecute and maintain patent applications to protect the Developed IP. However, if HalcyGen does not file patent applications in respect of any Developed IP within 12 months of the completion of each development program, Mayne may file such patent applications in any country in which HalcyGen has not filed a patent application.

Termination of the Mayne Licence Agreements

The Mayne Licence Agreements do not terminate on expiration of the patents which comprise the Background IP. However, either party may terminate a Mayne Licence Agreement if:

  • the other party fails to perform its relevant obligations and such failure or breach remains unremedied for a period of 30 days from the date of receipt by the defaulting party of written notice of the breach; or
  • · an insolvency event occurs in respect of the other party.

HalcyGen may also terminate either Mayne Licence Agreement prior to the conclusion of either development program on 90 days written notice if the market conditions or preliminary results of the development program indicate that commercialisation of the Developed Products will not be feasible.

Effect of termination of the Mayne Licence Agreements

Upon termination of either Mayne Licence Agreement:

  • ownership of the applicable Background IP and the applicable Developed IP will remain with Mayne and HalcyGen respectively;
  • HalcyGen must immediately cease use of the Background IP; and
  • each party must promptly deliver any property, documents and records of the other party in the first party's possession, custody and control.

If HalcyGen terminates either Mayne Licence Agreement on the basis that commercialisation of the Developed Products will not be feasible, HalcyGen must reimburse Mayne for the costs it would have incurred as part of the development program during the following 4 months, including costs of staff hired for the development program. The parties must also commence negotiations in good faith to agree on the development by Mayne of a new product for HalcyGen,

9.6 Underwriting Agreement
