Chairman’s Letter

Tuesday 8[th] April 2008

Dear Fellow Shareholders and Potential Investors,

It is with great pleasure that I invite you to subscribe for the 14% Converting Notes described in this prospectus. NuSep will apply to have these Notes listed on the ASX. The proceeds of this capital raising of approximately $5 million will be used to:

  1. Expand sales with a view of achieving profitability on a monthly basis by:

==> picture [13 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [13 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [13 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • 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:

==> picture [13 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [13 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

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

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

NuSep has made significant progress since listing just under a year ago. Major developments include launching the MF10 instrument, achieving profitable gel production rates and completing the initial CS10 SpermSep clinical trials. We have an active product development team who are working on developing a range of new products to be launched over the coming years.

As outlined in our IPO prospectus, NuSep initially concentrated on improving the Gel manufacturing process so that Gel sales could be used to achieve a breakeven position or profits. I am pleased to report that we are well on the way to achieving a breakeven position. Manufacturing pass rates and production volumes are on target and Gel sales have increased significantly. Sales growth has been particularly strong since the appointment of Barry Holman as Vice President of Sales in January 2008. As a result of this sales growth, NuSep has established its own sales and distribution office in Atlanta, US.

The Company is on budget and driving to achieve profitability. However, additional funding is necessary. The Board considers the best way to raise these funds is to offer a 14% Converting Note. Further, in order to minimise the interest expense, the Board has limited the number of Converting Notes to 500,000 on a first come first served basis with priority being given to the Company's current Shareholders.

Individual applications have been limited to a maximum of 1000 Converting Notes ($10,000) but the Company will not issue more than 500,000 Converting Notes. For this reason, the Company will accept applications on a first come first served basis up to a maximum of 500,000

Replacement Prospectus - replaces the prospectus lodged by the Company with ASIC on 8 April 2008

7

Converting Notes with priority being given to Shareholders. Any additional applications will be returned unprocessed.

As a sign of our confidence in NuSep the Directors have agreed to underwrite the Converting Note issue to a maximum of $1million, subject to Shareholder approval. The Directors have done this on the same terms as the recent share purchase offer set out in the 2007 Short Form Prospectus.

It is also the Board’s view that the Company may redeem these Converting Notes before they convert into shares in 3 years time, further reducing the dilutionary effect these Converting Notes may otherwise have. The director's believe this funding approach will enhance shareholder value while enabling the Company to achieve its goals.

This prospectus contains detailed information on the proposed offer of Converting Notes and recent developments in NuSep's business. I recommend you read the prospectus carefully before deciding whether to invest in the Converting Notes. If you have any questions, you should consult your stockbroker, accountant, lawyer or other professional adviser.

Finally, NuSep will hold an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on Friday 30[th] May 2008 to approve the issue of the 14% Converting Notes. We will provide a further update on developments at that meeting and I encourage Shareholders to attend. As a general comment, I have been pleased by the number of Shareholders who have contacted me regarding their investment in NuSep. Our products address niche markets and it is often hard to gain information on these markets. Once again I would like to thank all Shareholders for their continuing support of the Company and look forward to meeting with many of you on Friday 30[th] May 2008.

Yours sincerely,

This document does not constitute an offer in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.

This Offer to subscribe for the 14% Converting Notes is only being made to investors resident in Australia.

The 14% Converting Notes are expected to be issued on 3 June 2008 with holding statements issued by 3 June 2008.

Interest earned on the Application money will be for the benefit of NuSep and will be retained by NuSep even if the issue of the 14% Converting Notes does not take place.

1.8 Application monies held in trust

Until the 14% Converting Notes are issued under this Prospectus, acceptance monies will be held on trust in a separate bank account, which has been opened only for this purpose.

1.14 Taxation

The tax treatment and consequences of this Offer will vary depending on the particular circumstances of the Applicant.

Notification of issue and allotment of the 14% Converting Notes will be posted to Noteholders at their address appearing on the Application Form.

The Company will apply to participate in CHESS. All ASX trading in the 14% Converting Notes after they are quoted will be settled through CHESS. The Share Registry will operate an electronic issuer-sponsored sub-register and CHESS sub-register. Both of these sub-registers will constitute NuSep's principal share register. NuSep will provide each Noteholder with a notice (Notice) that sets out the number of the 14% Converting Notes issued to the Noteholder. The Notice will also inform Noteholders of their Security Reference Number (SRN). Noteholders who are CHESS participants will receive an explanation of sale and purchase procedures under CHESS with their Notice.

1.16 Costs of the Offer

The costs of the Offer are estimated at approximately $130,000.

SECTION 2 - PURPOSE OF THIS OFFER AND RECENT COMPANY DEVELOPMENTS

Purpose and Application of Funds Raised Under this Prospectus

This Prospectus has been prepared to raise $5 million through the issue of up to 500,000 14% Converting Notes in NuSep. The funds raised under this Prospectus will be used for working capital purposes and to enable NuSep to undertake its business plan by:

  1. Expanding sales with a view of achieving profitability on a monthly basis by:

==> picture [13 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [13 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [13 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • 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;

  • Completing the development and achieving initial sales of the SpermSep CS10 by:

==> picture [13 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [13 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

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

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

At the date of this Prospectus, the Board does not believe that it is possible or prudent to state an exact allocation of the funds raised among these objectives.

Product Markets

NuSep was established with innovative products and technologies to compete in the following markets:

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Precast Electrophoresis Gels; Laboratory separations, particularly in the Proteomic market; Supply of purified research grade biological reagents; and

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [12 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Assisted Reproduction Technology, particularly in the sperm separation market.

Precast Gels

==> picture [259 x 154] intentionally omitted <==

The Market

The global Precast Electrophoresis Gels market was estimated to be US$100 million in 2004, of which US$55 million was in the US. The US$55 million represents the sales of approximately

Replacement Prospectus - replaces the prospectus lodged by the Company with ASIC on 8 April 2008

12

6.2 million gels[1 ] per anum. This US$55 million market represents 55% of all gels used in the US each year.

Developments

Over the last 12 months NuSep has improved its Gel products to the point where they are now recognised as equal or better than our competitors by a number of our customers. During the last 6 months NuSep's focus has been on improving Gel production volumes and pass rates. The Company achieved a monthly production rate of 35,000 Gels in December 2007 up from approximately 20,000 Gels per month in July 2007. In February 2008 this production rate increased to over 50,000 Gels per month.

==> picture [177 x 118] intentionally omitted <==

As sales increase, NuSep can further increase production by running up to 3 production shifts per day. During the last 6 months the Gel pass rate has also improved and is now consistently over 75%.

Since late last year, sales have also improved as customers adopt the NuSep Gels. Since January 2008 direct sales of the Gels in the US have started to grow

following the appointment of Barry Holman as Vice President of Sales. Direct sales will be further boosted with NuSep’s Atlanta, GA US facility becoming fully operational at the end of March 2008.

NuSep opened this facility because the cost of the outsourced US distribution facility reached the point where it is now less expensive for the Company to establish and run its own facility. In addition, by having our own people on the ground, our US customers will receive a better level of service, at both the technical level and in the delivery of their orders. It is expected that this will further accelerate the US Gel and MF10 sales.

Gel sales under the Pierce brand have more than trebled over the last 3 months and forward orders indicate that this level of sales will continue.

In order to support this sales growth the Company has decided to establish a customer service function in both the US and Australia. NuSep is also planning to release new Gel products later this year. These initiatives will help boost sales and also reinforce NuSep’s reputation as a market innovator in the field of BioSeparations.

Projections

As an indication of the sales growth NuSep is experiencing, the Company has grown its US Gel market share from less than 1% in January 2007 to approximately 5% today. Most of this growth has come in the last 4 months. The Company is targeting to grow this market share to 20% or 900,000 Gels per annum by 30 June 2010.

MF10

The Market

The initial MF10 target market is the Proteomics sample preparation market. This market is currently worth $59 million per anum[2] . The Proteomics market has been growing rapidly for some time, particularly since the completion of the human genome in 2003.

1 Phortech International, The 2004/05 US MSPPSA Electrophoretic Equipment & Media Market, page 92. Replacement Prospectus - replaces the prospectus lodged by the Company with ASIC on 8 April 2008

13

The goal of the human genome project was to sequence the entire 3 billion base pairs (chemical components of DNA), which make up the human body. The human genome contains approximately 25,000 genes. While the genes are associated with different disease states it is the proteins that turn the genes on or off. As such, scientist are now looking at how the proteins these genes produce work. Each gene is associated with multiple proteins and there are more than 500,000 proteins derived from the 25,000 human genes.

The MF10 enables scientists to separate and prepare their samples so they can carry out further analysis on these proteins. This sample preparation part of the Proteomics market has been viewed as a bottleneck for some time and is targetted to grow from $59 million in revenue in 2007 to $103 million by 2011. NuSep’s MF10 device addresses this market. The biggest driver of sample preparation products are biopharmaceutical companies seeking new protein biomarkers or protein targets that form the basis of new drugs.

==> picture [221 x 82] intentionally omitted <==

Developments

In February 2008, NuSep officially launched the MF10 instrument at two Proteomics conferences the first in Australia and the second in the US. The MF10 offers Proteomic scientists unique separation capabilities by, for example, speeding up the processing of protein samples for analysis by mass spectrometry.

Our sales team has already begun the follow up process and a number of demonstrations have already occurred. Sales of the MF10 are expected to generate income from both initial instrument sales and ongoing consumables sales. The MF10 compliments our current Gel products and most of the sales leads from these conferences were for both the Gels and the MF10 unit.

Projections

NuSep expects to deliver its first shipment of MF10’s to customers in May 2008. The Company is pleased with the launch of the MF10 and expects to gain a significant market share over the next few years. NuSep has a target to sell 300 MF10 instruments in the 2008/2009 financial year and 600 in the 2009/2010 financial year. Achievement of the 2009/2010 sales would give NuSep a 15% market share of the Proteomics sample preparation market based on current numbers.

SpermSep CS10

The Market

In Australia, the IVF market is worth around $170 million and in the US $3 billion[3] . Sperm separation is a fundamental aspect of all ART treatments, including IVF. NuSep estimates that the SpermSep CS10 instrument represents approximately 1 - 2% of the above IVF markets. In addition there were approximately 1 million ART cycles undertaken in the world in 2006[4] . Based on this, NuSep estimates the total SpermSep consumables market at $A45 million per

annum. This $45 million consumables market is in addition to the SpermSep instrumentation market.

Developments

NuSep recently completed its first clinical trial of SpermSep at the Westmead Fertility Centre as announced to the market on 14 March 2008. This trial showed that SpermSep is as safe as the existing method used to isolate sperm for ART. Furthermore, there were 3 pregnancies in the SpermSep arm of the trial and none in the existing process arm. Two participants in this trial have now given birth to healthy babies, one boy and one girl. The third is due later in the year. This project is supported by a $2.2 million Australian Government Commercial Ready Grant.

The Company now intends to test the final production version of SpermSep and in doing so will seek to:

==> picture [13 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Verify that SpermSep produces less DNA damaged sperm in clinical samples; and

==> picture [13 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

Validate multiple formats of the disposable cartridge.

NuSep is currently finalising the clinical study trial sites. This clinical trial will be a multi-centre study in order to maximise patient recruitment in the shortest possible time. This clinical trial is expected to commence in May 2008 and finish in late 2008 or early 2009. The results of the current and the proposed study will be used to support an application to market SpermSep with the TGA, FDA and other European regulatory authorities.

Projections

NuSep is targetting that the first sales of the SpermSep device will occur in the second quarter of 2009. The Directors believe that there will be demand for the SpermSep unit. This was demonstrated by the number of enquiries generated after a scientific presentation given at an international fertility conference in Barcelona late last year. NuSep is targetting to sell 60 SpermSep CS10 units in the 2008/2009 financial year and a further 200 in the 2009/2010 financial year.

SECTION 5 - SOME RISK FACTORS TO CONSIDER

Investment Risks

While the Directors recommend this Offer, investment in the 14% Converting Notes of NuSep offered under this Prospectus should be considered as being speculative. The major risk factors as determined by the Directors are set out below. These represent a summary and should not be regarded as being exhaustive.

Potential investors should carefully consider the following risk factors in conjunction with all the information contained in this Prospectus and carefully assess all associated risks before deciding whether to invest in the 14% Converting Notes. They should also consider their personal circumstances, including financial and taxation circumstances and seek appropriate professional advice before deciding whether to invest in the 14% Converting Notes of NuSep.

The activities of the Company are subject to a number of risks including those which apply to investments generally and those that apply specifically to the business of NuSep. Some of the specific risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are likely to remain outside the control of the Company.

This Prospectus contains certain statements which relate to the future, including forward looking statements related to NuSep’s strategy and financial performance. These forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve known and unknown risk factors, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company and its Board.

Neither NuSep nor any other person gives any representation, assurance or guarantee that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forwarding looking statements will actually happen.

There are a number of risk factors which could adversely affect NuSep’s performance and the value of its Shares and the 14% Converting Notes. The value of securities listed on the ASX can rise or fall depending on a large range of factors, many of which are beyond the identification and control of NuSep.

Potential investors should consider these risk factors before deciding whether to apply for the 14% Converting Notes.

Some of the general matters which may affect the future operating performance of NuSep include, without limitation:

  • Economic conditions – the performance of NuSep may be significantly affected by changes in economic conditions, and particularly conditions which affect the biotechnology industry. Profitability of the business may be affected by factors such as market conditions, interest rates, inflation and consumer demand;

  • Geo-political factors – NuSep may be affected by the impact that geo-political factors have on the various world economies or the Australian economy or on financial markets and investments generally or specifically;

  • Australian and foreign government policies & legislation – NuSep may be affected by changes to government policies and legislation, including those relating to the biotech industry, property, the environment, taxation and accounting regimes and the regulation of trade practices and competition, government grants and incentive schemes;

  • Share market conditions – NuSep, being a company listed on ASX, is subject to the market forces that influence the broad share market trends and the price of securities of individual

Replacement Prospectus - replaces the prospectus lodged by the Company with ASIC on 8 April 2008

19

companies. Accordingly, assuming that the Converting Notes are granted official quotation on ASX, they may trade on ASX at higher or lower prices than the issue price. Each Applicant should consider whether the Converting Notes are a suitable investment before deciding to invest in the Converting Notes. Any Applicant in doubt about investing in shares should consult their stockbroker, accountant, lawyer or other professional adviser immediately;

Changes in international exchange rates;

  • The market forces, to which NuSep is subject, that influence broad share market trends and the price of securities of individual companies;

Changes to tariff levels between countries;

  • Changes to research funding including reductions in life science funding by a Government in a major market that NuSep sells into; and

  • Other risk factors including those normally found in conducting business, including litigation resulting from the breach of agreements or in relation to employees (through personal injuries, industrial matters or otherwise) or any other cause, strikes, lockouts, loss of service of key management or operational personnel, non-insurable risks, delay in resumption of activities after reinstatement following the occurrence of an insurable risk, acts of terrorism and acts of God and other matters or force majeure events that may interfere with the business or trade of NuSep.

Specific Risks

In addition to the above, there are a number of specific risks concerning a biotechnology company such as NuSep of which potential investors should be aware. The following is not an exhaustive summary, but points to some of the risks that are particular to a biotechnology company. Any one or a combination of such risks could affect NuSep adversely and thus the value of any investment in NuSep.

The Board is unable to speculate as to the extent of such adversity, and thus an investment in NuSep should be regarded as speculative.

Like other biotechnology companies at a similar stage of development, NuSep faces a number of risks, both general and project-specific. Some of the more specific matters which might also affect the future operating performance of NuSep include without limitation:

  • Technical risks – NuSep has a number of projects that could give rise to products. No assurances can be given that NuSep’s research will give rise to any development of a commercially successful product;

  • Competitor risks – no assurances can be given that any products that NuSep does produce will successfully compete with other products either currently on the market or expected to enter the market in the future;

  • Financial risks – the ability of NuSep to implement its business strategy may depend in part on its ability to continue to raise additional funds and/or to secure appropriate partnering or out-licensing arrangements. No assurances can be given that such funding will be available, or that it will be available on terms attractive to NuSep;

  • Key Employee risks – the future success of NuSep may depend in part on its continued access to highly qualified scientific, technical and managerial personnel. Competition for such staff is intense. Further, much of the intellectual property and developed know-how resides in NuSep’s scientific staff or those under contract. The loss of key staff could have a material adverse effect on NuSep. While NuSep seeks to ensure that the services of key

Replacement Prospectus - replaces the prospectus lodged by the Company with ASIC on 8 April 2008

20

personnel are retained, no assurances can be given that NuSep will continue to retain and attract key staff as required by the business;

  • Intellectual Property risks – NuSep’s prospects rely fundamentally on its intellectual property portfolio. Any restrictions on NuSep’s rights to use the technology contained in its patents in any jurisdiction will impede or prevent NuSep’s ability to achieve the commercialisation of the relevant technology in those jurisdictions. No assurances can be given that existing or future patents or patent applications which NuSep relies upon will not be challenged in the Courts, nor that any patents granted will withstand any subsequent legal challenge;

  • Regulatory risks – major changes in regulatory legislation or policy could affect the timing and costs of clinical trials. Although NuSep continues to discuss its clinical development program with appropriate regulatory bodies, no assurances can be given that significant unexpected changes in regulatory legislation or policy will not occur in the future;

  • Non-performance of significant contracts by other parties;

  • Failure to achieve sales growth from existing products;

  • Difficulties or delays in completing product developments or product launches;

  • Difficulties or delays in receiving regulatory approval or certification for products or processes;

  • The existence and extent of any competition for the products or processes to be developed by NuSep – particularly from major international biotechnology companies;

  • The existence of substitute or improved products developed by competing companies;

The success or failure of existing research and development programs of NuSep;

  • The pace of market development for NuSep products and the costs involved in achieving market penetration and brand awareness;

  • Change in the markets for the products and processes sold by NuSep;

  • Patent litigation, including failure of existing patents or failure to gain patent licenses to yet unknown blocking patents; and

Litigation arising from the clinical studies undertaken by NuSep.

Project-specific risks

  • Required primary endpoint is not met – there is a risk that the primary clinical endpoint for the next CS10 SpermSep clinical trial will not be met, and in this circumstance, the future development of the CS10 SpermSep instrument will need to be re-assessed;

  • Unexpected severe adverse effects – although no serious adverse effects associated with CS10 SpermSep have occurred to date, the occurrence of severe unexpected adverse effects could have a significant impact upon the future clinical development of CS10 SpermSep;

  • Supply of material – clinical development of CS10 SpermSep requires a continued supply of material from external manufacturers. Although some stock is already in place, and NuSep continues to work to secure an ongoing supply, unexpected events may interrupt the supply of material and affect the timing and/or cost of the clinical trials; and

  • Clinical Trial Recruitment risk – a risk that is inherent in all clinical trials is the inability to recruit sufficient patients on time.

Replacement Prospectus - replaces the prospectus lodged by the Company with ASIC on 8 April 2008

21

Specific risks associated with the 14% Converting Notes

Some of the more specific risks associated with an investment in the 14% Converting Notes include without limitation the following:

  • The market price of the 14% Converting Notes may fluctuate due to various factors including worldwide economic conditions, interest rates, general movements in equity markets and movements in the market price of NuSep's Shares;

  • Shares issued on the conversion of the 14% Converting Notes will rank equally with existing Shares. Accordingly, the value of the Shares that are issued to former Noteholders on conversion of the 14% Converting Notes will depend on the market price of Shares at the relevant time;

  • The market for the 14% Converting Notes may be less liquid than the market for Shares;

  • NuSep expects to pay the interest payments (i.e. coupon payments) on the 14% Converting Notes by using available cash reserves and cash flows from the Company's business operations (if any). If NuSep does not perform as expected, there is a risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash flows to fund the semi-annual interest payments on the 14% Converting Notes. The interest payments on the 14% Converting Notes are not guaranteed by NuSep;

  • The interest payable on the 14% Converting Notes is fixed at 14% per anum payable semiannually in arrears. Accordingly, no adjustment will be made to the rate of interest paid to Noteholders. However, the market price of the 14% Converting Notes on the ASX may fluctuate due to changes in interest rates generally;

  • NuSep may redeem the 14% Converting Notes in certain circumstances (e.g. NuSep may redeem the 14% Converting Notes one year after their issue at each six month period ending 31 March and 30 September). There is a risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash flows to redeem the 14% Converting Notes on redemption. NuSep does not guarantee the redemption of the 14% Converting Notes;

  • If the 14% Converting Notes are converted into Shares or redeemed before their maturity date, Noteholders will not receive any further interest payments (which they would have been entitled to had they held their 14% Converting Notes until the maturity date); and

  • If NuSep is wound-up, Noteholders will rank behind secured creditors of the Company (if any) and equally with all other unsecured creditors. If there is a shortfall of funds available on winding-up, there is a risk that Noteholders will not receive full repayment (or any repayment) of their investment in the 14% Converting Notes or payment for any interest on the 14% Converting Notes which remains unpaid.

9.4 Rights Attaching to Shares

A summary of the more significant rights and liabilities attaching to the Shares is set out below.

The Shares that are to be issued on conversion of the 14% Converting Notes issued pursuant to this Prospectus are ordinary shares, the capital on which is fully paid. Shares once issued, will have the same rights attaching to them as the rights that are attached to the existing Shares.

Voting

At a general meeting of the Company, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative has one vote on a show of hands and, on a poll, one vote for each fully paid Share held. On a poll, partly paid Shares confer a fraction of a vote in proportion to the amount paid up on the Share.

Dividends

Dividends are determined by the Directors at their discretion. Any dividend relating to Shares is divisible amongst the Shareholders in proportion to the amount paid up on the Shares held by them.

It is not currently intended that the Company pay a dividend on Shares or that one be paid in the near future.

Rights on winding up

Subject to the rights or restrictions attaching to any share or class of shares, if the Company is wound up, the property of the Company available for distribution shall be divided among the members in proportion to the shares held by them, irrespective of the amounts paid up or credited as paid up on the shares. If the Company is wound up the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution, divide the assets of the Company amongst the members and may determine how the division shall be carried out as between the members or different classes of members.

Transfer of Shares

Except where required by law or the Constitution and subject to the Listing Rules, there are no restrictions on the transfer of Shares.

Issue of further Shares

Subject to the provisions of the Constitution and Corporations Act, the Directors may issue further Shares on such terms and conditions as they may decide.

Variation of class rights

The rights attaching to each class of Shares may only be varied:
