Letter from the Chairman

Friday 30 May 2008

Dear Shareholder,

As announced on 26 May 2008, following shareholder feedback, the Board agreed to replace the Converting Note issue with a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) exercisable at 8¢ per share. I am pleased to inform you that you are eligible to participate in the SPP, under which you may purchase up to $5,000 of ordinary shares in the Company at 8¢ per share, a significant discount to the current share price.

I am pleased to report that NuSep continues to make significant progress. Some of the significant recent developments include:

  • The delivery of the first MF10 unit to the Australian National University in Canberra on Monday 26[th] May 2008.

  • The Westmead Fertility Centre in Sydney has submitted the SpermSep clinical study results for publication. In addition, the SpermSep clinical trial results have been covered by the media including the Channel 7 Sunrise programme and on Sky News. Links to these clips can be found on NuSep’s investor webpage and I encourage you to view them.

While we continue to make significant progress this growing Company requires additional funding to achieve its goals, hence the decision to conduct an SPP at 8c per share. I encourage you to take up this offer as in addition to being an attractive price you will not pay any brokerage or other transaction costs. Your Directors have, and continue, to be supportive of NuSep and will be taking up their SPP entitlements, subject to shareholder approval.

The funds raised by the SPP will be used to:

  1. Expand sales with a view of achieving profitability on a monthly basis by: Expanding the sales and marketing of the precast gels, particularly in the US; Growing the sales of the MF10 proteomics instrument; and

  • Expanding NuSep's product range by introducing new and innovative products.

  • Complete the development and achieve initial sales of the SpermSep CS10 by:

  • Undertaking the next clinical trial of the SpermSep CS10 instrument in order to commercialise this unit in the IVF market; and

==> picture [15 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Completing the development and launch of the SpermSep CS10 instrument for sale in the ICSI market.

If you wish to participate in the SPP, you can apply for any amount between $500 (6,250 shares) and $5,000 (62,500 shares). Some suggested application amounts are set out below:

Number of shares Application amount at issue price of $0.08 per share
12,500 $1,000
31,250 $2,500
62,500 $5,000

This letter, including the enclosed document titled "Terms and Conditions of the Share Purchase Plan" and the attached Application Form, constitute the terms and conditions of the NuSep SPP. To participate in this Offer, you need to complete and return to the Company the enclosed Application Form, together with your cheque by Monday 23 June 2008.

I encourage you to read all the information relating to the SPP before deciding whether to participate. Any decision to participate in the SPP should be made after considering your own objectives, financial circumstances and needs. If you are in any doubt as to the action you should take, you should consult your professional adviser.

Shareholder approval will be required as the SPP issue price of 8¢ represents a 30% discount from the closing price on Friday 30 May 2008 and the issue may involve more than 15% of the Company's currently issued share capital. NuSep will hold a General Meeting on Monday 30 June 2008 to approve this SPP and to allow Directors to take up their SPP entitlements.

If after reading the enclosed documents you have any questions regarding the SPP, please contact the Company Secretary, Mr Prakash Patel, on 02 8977 9000.

Once again, thank you for your ongoing support of the Company. We look forward to meeting with you at the General Meeting on Monday 30 June 2008.

Yours sincerely,
