About NxGen

NxGen is a dominant player in the Australian custom pharmaceutical market. NxGen develops and manufactures innovative products to meet the increasing demand in the sexual health and anti-addiction markets.

  • In the Australian market the products developed by NxGen compete directly with Pfi zer’s Viagra, Eli Lilly’s Cialis and Bayer’s Levitra.

  • The premature ejaculation product developed by NxGen is the only known medical product to currently address this medical need. According to a global study, approximately 14% of the male population over 40 years old suffer from this disorder, relative to 10% of the male population who have erectile dysfunction.

NxGen has plans to enter the US$1 billion American erectile dysfunction market.

  • NxGen has developed an anti-addiction product to address alcoholism and opiate addiction. Clinical testing of this product is due to commence shortly. NxGen is also aiming to address addiction to ICE (methamphetamine) with the development of a new product.*

*No assurances can be given that NxGen’s research and development will give rise to the development of a commercially successful product.

  • NxGen made a pre-tax profi t of $1 million for the year ended 30 June 2008 and is on target to make a pre-tax profi t of $2 million in the year ending 30 June 2009. Please note that the NxGen accounts for the historical period ended 30 June 2008 have not been audited. Results may vary following preparation of audited accounts for that period. The estimated pre-tax profi t for the period ending on 30 June 2009 is a forward looking statement and no assurances can be given that such profi t will be reached.

NxGen’s Main Products

Sexual Health Products

NxGen has developed a range of products that address erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and female sexual dysfunction.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

NxGen’s ED nasal spray is one of the market leaders in the Australian US$50 million market. This product is supplied by Australian Custom Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd (ACP), NxGen’s strategic pharmacy partner, directly to the patient and competes directly with Pfi zer’s Viagra, Eli Lilly’s Cialis and Bayer’s Levitra. NxGen receives a product licensing fee on these sales from ACP. The Australian ED market is approximately 1/20th of the US market in terms of market size.

Premature Ejaculation (PE)

According to a global study of sexual attitudes and behaviours[1] , 14% of the male population over 40 years old suffers from PE compared with 10% who suffer from ED. This suggests that the market for PE treatment may be signifi cantly larger than the US$3.8 billion ED market. PE treatment options are limited and there is no licensed competitive product that addresses this market need.

Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD)

Female sexual dysfunction affects as many as 4 in every 10 women at some point in their lives. NxGen has developed a gel formulation to address FSD in the Australian market.

Compound Pharmacy Products

ACP, NxGen’s strategic pharmacy partner, fi lls scripts and ships on average over 1,400 NxGen products a day across Australia. Each of these is an individual prescription issued by an Australian based doctor. Based on this system, NxGen has developed a unique ability to license and develop new pharmaceutical products.

Naltrexone – Addiction Implants

NxGen has developed a time release naltrexone implant that it believes is effective against alcohol abuse, nicotine, gambling and opiate addictions. Clinical trials will shortly commence for NxGen’s alcohol, nicotine and opiate substance abuse products. It is proposed that NxGen’s future projects will include implants for methamphetamine (ice) and cocaine addiction*.

  • No assurances can be given that NxGen’s research and development will give rise to the development of a commercially successful product

NuSep Ltd Prospectus 2009

Chairman’s Letter

7 May 2009

Dear Shareholders and Potential Investors,

It gives me great pleasure to offer our Shareholders and other potential Investors the opportunity to subscribe for Shares in the Company and to receive Prime BioSeparations Shares. By participating in the Offer under this Prospectus you will, in addition to acquiring NuSep Shares and Prime BioSeparations Shares, be increasing your exposure to NxGen which NuSep is proposing to acquire. As a Board, we see the NxGen Acquisition offering signifi cant value to our existing Shareholders.

Full details of the NxGen Acquisition and the associated Spin Out of the existing NuSep business into Prime BioSeparations are outlined in sections 2, 3 & 6 of this Prospectus and I encourage all Shareholders and potential Investors to read these sections in full.

The Offer and the acquisition of NxGen will give our Shareholders and potential Investors an investment in two biotechnology organisations – NuSep and Prime BioSeparations. They will retain their ownership of NuSep’s current business, which will be spun out into Prime BioSeparations and at the same time they will also own a shareholding in the new NxGen business which is being acquired by the Company. The proposed transactions offer our Shareholders and Investors:

  • A minimum 12.5% interest in the NxGen business;

  • The ability to increase their shareholding in the Company and therefore their exposure to the NxGen business by subscribing for Shares under this Prospectus;

  • A pro rata shareholding in the existing NuSep business, which will be spun out into Prime BioSeparations, a separate unlisted public company; and

  • A pro rata entitlement to the bonus share issue of 1.325 million Shares.

The 1.325 million Bonus Shares will be distributed pro rata to existing Shareholders and successful Applicants under the Offer.

As part of the due diligence of the NxGen Acquisition the NuSep Board appointed an independent expert, Innovation Dynamics, to assess if this acquisition was fair and reasonable for the non associated shareholders of NuSep. This report is set out in full in section 4 of this Prospectus and I encourage you to read this carefully. In summary, Innovation Dynamics found the NxGen Acquisition to be both fair and reasonable to NuSep’s Shareholders.

While NxGen’s current profi tability (which was determined on the basis of unaudited accounts) was a signifi cant factor in our decision to acquire the company, the NuSep Board was also impressed by the substantial growth of the two entities that are now wholly-owned subsidiaries of NxGen. As a Board we believe NxGen’s products are socially and ethically responsible as they meet unmet medical needs. These products also create signifi cant commercial opportunities for NuSep and its Shareholders.

I urge you to read all the material in this Prospectus carefully including the risks section before deciding whether to participate in the Offer set out in this Prospectus. If you have any questions, you should consult your stockbroker, accountant, lawyer or other professional adviser.

In conclusion, the Directors strongly believe that this transaction will bring the greatest immediate and long term value to the Shareholders of NuSep and we strongly encourage you to participate in this Offer.

Yours sincerely,

Mr John Manusu Executive Chairman

8 ~~N~~ uSep Ltd Prospectus 2009

1. Overview of the Offer

1.1 Important notice

This section is not intended to provide a complete overview of the Offer made under this Prospectus. Accordingly, this Prospectus should be read and considered in its entirety.

1.2 Background

On 1 October 2008, the Directors announced that the Company had entered into a Heads of Agreement relating to the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of NxGen. The Company and NxGen then entered into an Implementation Deed in relation to the NxGen Acquisition and announced it to the market on 1 December 2008. A summary of the Implementation Deed is set out in section 9 of this Prospectus.

Prior to the NxGen Acquisition, the Company proposes to spin out all of its assets and liabilities into a new unlisted entity, Prime BioSeparations (i.e. the Spin Out). In consideration for the Spin Out, NuSep will be issued with approximately 1.7 million Prime BioSeparations Shares and will conduct a pro rata distribution of 100% of these shares to Eligible Prime BioSeparations Shareholders which include successful Applicants of the Offer.

The Spin Out and the NxGen Acquisition will result in a signifi cant change to the nature and scale of the Company’s activities. In this regard it received the approval of the Company’s Shareholders at a Shareholders’ Meeting which was held on Friday 13 March 2009.

Under the ASX Listing Rules, the magnitude of the change that will result in the nature and scale of the Company’s activities due to the Spin Out and the NxGen Acquisition requires NuSep to comply with the provisions of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules as if it was re-applying for admission to the Offi cial List. One of these requirements is that NuSep issues this Prospectus.

1.3 Consideration for the NxGen Acquisition

The consideration for the NxGen Acquisition will be paid to the NxGen Shareholder in the following three instalments:

  1. by the issue of 15.95 million Consideration Shares or such number of Consideration Shares that equal 55% of the total Expanded Share Capital of NuSep on Completion (i.e. the First Instalment);

  2. by the payment of cash and/or the issue of up to a maximum of 5.075 million Consideration Shares that equal a maximum of 17.5% of the Expanded Share Capital of NuSep within 15 business days of the close of the Offer (i.e. the Second Instalment). The proportion of cash and Consideration Shares in the Second Instalment shall be determined by the Board immediately prior to Completion (i.e. the proportion of cash and Consideration Shares in the Second Instalment will depend on the amount of proceeds raised by the Offer); and

  3. by the issue of 4.35 million Consideration Shares or such number of Consideration Shares that equal 15% of the Expanded Share Capital of NuSep when NxGen reaches a pre-tax profi t of $2.1 million (i.e. the Third Instalment). Such pre-tax profi t must be reached prior to or on 30 June 2010.

==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

If the Consideration Shares in the Third Instalment are not issued by 30 September 2010, the Third Instalment will lapse. The issue of the Consideration Shares to the NxGen Shareholder will result in the NxGen Shareholder holding up to a maximum of 87.5% of the Expanded Share Capital. As noted above, the number of Consideration Shares issued will depend on the level of proceeds raised under the Offer and whether NxGen reaches a pre-tax profi t of $2.1 million by 30 June 2010.

1.4 Offer under this Prospectus

In addition to providing information about the proposed change to the nature and scale of NuSep’s activities, this Prospectus also contains an Offer to potential Investors of up to 5.075 million Shares at $1.00 per Share and for the distribution by NuSep of 1.7 million Prime BioSeparations Shares in Prime BioSeparations to Eligible Prime BioSeparations Shareholders to raise up to $5.075 million with preference being given to Existing Shareholders on a fi rst come fi rst served basis.

As part of the Offer, successful Applicants will also receive:

  • one Option for every four Shares issued under the Offer; and

  • a pro rata entitlement with other Eligible Bonus Shareholders to a total of 1.325 million Bonus Shares.

Note that a successful Applicant’s entitlement to Prime BioSeparations Shares and Bonus Shares will be rounded down to the nearest share.

The Company is seeking to raise up to $5.075 million under the Offer to fund:

  • the expenses of the Offer;

  • the cash component of the consideration for the NxGen Acquisition;

  • the repayment of liabilities that are to be transferred to Prime BioSeparations under the Spin Out including $900,000 in loans from directors and former directors of NuSep and for working capital for Prime BioSeparations (please see section 6.2 of this Prospectus for a summary of the key terms and conditions of the directors’ loans); and

  • the provision of working capital for NxGen and the costs of NxGen’s expansion of its products into the US market which is expected to occur in the next 12 months.

The Offer will not be underwritten. However, brokers that refer successful Applicants to the Offer will receive a fee of 6% of the relevant Applicant’s application money. The fee will be paid on Applications which include a broker’s stamp.

The Offer is subject to a number of conditions which are set out below.

If the NxGen Acquisition is completed, NxGen will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Accordingly, this Prospectus contains statements in relation to the Company which presume that NuSep will become the parent company of NxGen.

1.6 Objectives and advantages

The key objective of the Offer is to raise up to $5.075 million to fund the cash component of the consideration for the NxGen Acquisition, the provision of working capital to NxGen and the expansion of its products into the US market and to provide $1.2 million to Prime BioSeparations for working capital purposes and the repayment of debt including $900,000 in loans from directors and former directors of NuSep.

The other key objectives associated with the NxGen Acquisition are:

  • (access to the sexual dysfunction, anti-aging medicine and addiction markets) the NxGen Acquisition will allow the Company to access the sexual dysfunction, anti-aging medicine and addiction markets and offer the products currently being offered by NxGen to these markets;

  • (consideration for the NxGen Acquisition) the acquisition of NxGen will largely be paid for by the issue of Shares, thereby reducing the cash cost of this acquisition. This is an important factor in the current fi nancial climate. It also means that NuSep is able to acquire a signifi cantly larger company than it would have been able to if the consideration had to be paid only in cash;

  • (15% of the consideration is subject to achievement of $2.1 million profi t) 15% of the acquisition price for the NxGen Acquisition will only be paid if NxGen achieves a profi t of $2.1 million on or before 30 June 2010. This provides both an incentive to the NxGen Shareholder and also reduces the price that NuSep has to pay should this target not be achieved;

  • (NxGen makes ethically and socially responsible products) NxGen develops and markets products which are socially and ethically responsible. Both the sexual dysfunction and the implants to overcome addiction meet this criteria; and

  • (NxGen is a profi table Company based on NxGen’s unaudited accounts) in the current fi nancial climate only profi table companies are being positively rated on the worlds stock markets. NxGen is a profi table company (note that the determination that NxGen is a profi table Company is based on unaudited accounts) and has signifi cant growth potential offering NuSep Shareholders the potential of positive returns on their investment.

Key objectives associated with the Spin Out and the pro rata distribution of Prime BioSeparations Shares are:

  • (varied investment) the Spin Out will allow Eligible Prime BioSeparations Shareholders (which include successful Applicants under the Offer) to acquire shares in a separate biotechnology organisation, Prime BioSeparations which will own and operate the current business of NuSep; and

  • (working capital) Prime BioSeparations will receive up to $1.2 million of the proceeds of the Offer which will be used for working capital purposes and the repayment of liabilities that will be transferred to Prime BioSeparations under the Spin Out including $900,000 in loans from directors and former directors of NuSep.

The Directors consider that on Completion of the Offer the Company will have suffi cient working capital to carry out its stated objectives.

1.7 Summary of Key Risk Factors

NuSep and NxGen

The securities offered under this Prospectus should be considered speculative because of the nature of the Company’s business. The operation of the Company’s business and the acquisition of NxGen are subject to a range of business risks, both of a general and specifi c nature. Full details of the possible risks associated with an investment in the Company are set out at section 11 of this Prospectus. These risks should be considered carefully before an application for Shares is made to the Company.

The positions of the Company and NxGen may change following the NxGen Acquisition as a result of a change in economic conditions, the impact of geo-political factors on the Australian and world economies and changing market conditions on the ASX. Investors should also be aware that if they do invest in the Company there is no guarantee of future earnings, dividends, return of capital or the price at which the Shares will trade on the ASX after quotation.

11

NuSep Ltd Prospectus 2009

==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

There is also the risk that the Company and NxGen may be affected by shifts in product markets or new products which replace existing product markets.

There are a number of specifi c risks in respect of the Company, NxGen and the NxGen Acquisition. The liquidity of the shares in the Company may also be affected. The NxGen Shareholder may be issued with up to 25.38 million Consideration Shares as consideration for the NxGen Acquisition. If the NxGen Shareholder is issued with all 25.38 million Consideration Shares, it will hold approximately 87.5% of the Company’s Expanded Share Capital. Under the Corporations Act, if the NxGen Shareholder increases its stake in the Company to 90% it may compulsorily acquire the remaining Shares in NuSep. There is also the risk that the liquidity of Shares may be affected if the NxGen Shareholder holds a signifi cant stake in the Company and/or the Consideration Shares are subject to escrow restrictions. Under the NxGen Acquisition, the NxGen Shareholder will hold up to 87.5% of the Company’s Shares and ASX has advised that the Consideration Shares will be subject to escrow restrictions for 24 months from the date that the Company has complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and been re-admitted to the Offi cial List. Future investors may be reluctant to acquire Shares in these circumstances.

NxGen is also considered to be economically dependent on ACP which is owned by the CEO of NxGen Daryll Knowles. NxGen derived $1,439,414 in revenue in the year ended 30 June 2008 from ACP. Further, NxGen derived $220,000 from licensing fees during this same period, which included licensing fees paid in relation to AMI. Should AMI stop licensing these products these licensing fees would decrease by approximately 75%.

Prime BioSeparations

This Offer also includes an offer for shares in Prime BioSeparations. Prime BioSeparations is also subject to a range of business risks which are detailed in Section 11.4 of this Prospectus.

Under the Spin Out, Eligible Prime BioSeparations Shareholders will receive shares in an unlisted entity and will no longer have a ready market for their full investment if they do wish to dispose of their shares in Prime BioSeparations.

The risks set out in this section 1.7 are not all the risks an investor may be subject to. Shareholders and Investors are directed to read section 11 of this Prospectus in its entirety.

1.9 Costs of the Offer and use of proceeds

The costs of the Offer are expected to be approximately $800,000. On the assumption that the Offer is fully subscribed, it is expected to raise $5.075 million.

The Directors intend to apply the proceeds raised by the Offer:

  • towards the expenses of the Offer (e.g. the preparation of this Prospectus, including the costs of engaging the Investigating Accountant and the Independent Expert);

  • to fund the cash component of the consideration for the NxGen Acquisition;

  • to fund the repayment of debt and the provision of working capital to Prime BioSeparations (for further details please see section 6 of this Prospectus); and

  • to fund the provision of working capital to NxGen and the costs of NxGen’s expansion into the US market which is expected to occur over the next 12 months.

A breakdown of the use of the proceeds raised under the Offer is set out in section 2 of this Prospectus.

1.10 Capital structure (Post Consolidation)

On 27 March 2009 the share capital of the Company was consolidated on a 1 for 20 basis so that NuSep will comply with the requirements in Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules on Completion.

As at the date of this Prospectus, NuSep has 2,292,864 Shares on issue.

On the assumption that the Offer is fully subscribed, 5.075 million Shares will be issued and 1.268 million Options will be granted to successful Applicants. In addition, 1.325 million Bonus Shares will be issued to Eligible Bonus Shareholders.

NuSep currently has no Options on issue. However, at the Meeting Shareholder approval was obtained to issue 230,000 unlisted Options to the NxGen Nominee Directors under the terms of the Company’s Directors, Employees and Consultants Option Plan. The grant of these Options is contingent on Completion of the NxGen Acquisition. The Options will be issued within twelve months of the date of the Meeting.

Shareholders will be asked to approve a further 45,000 Share Options for the newly appointed director of NxGen Wilson Wong at the upcoming extraordinary general meeting of NuSep. Note that the table below does not include the Options that may be issued to Mr Wong.

The following sets out the capital structure of the Company before and after the Offer. Note that the following does not take into account the issue of Consideration Shares to the NxGen Shareholder as consideration for the NxGen Acquisition. It does take into account the 230,000 Options to be issued to the NxGen Nominee Directors and is based on the assumption that the Offer is fully subscribed.

Shares(Post Consolidation) Shares(Post Consolidation)
Shares on issue at the date of this Prospectus 2,292,864
Shares to be issued under this Prospectuspursuant to the Offer 5,075,000
Bonus Shares to be issued 1,325,000
Total Shares on issue at the Close of the Offer 8,698,223

Options to be issued to the NxGen Nominee Directors 230,000
Total Options on issue at the Close of the Offer 1,498,750

In consideration for the NxGen Acquisition, the NxGen Shareholder will be issued with up to a maximum of 25.38 million Shares which will result in the NxGen Shareholder holding up to a maximum of 87.5% of the Expanded Share Capital of NuSep. The number of Shares issued to the NxGen Shareholder will depend on the level of proceeds raised under the Offer and whether NxGen reaches a pre-tax profi t of $2.1 million by 30 June 2010. For example, after the issue of the Consideration Shares in the First Instalment, the NxGen Shareholder will hold 55% of the Company’s Expanded Share Capital. The Second Instalment will be paid in cash and by the issue of Consideration Shares to the NxGen Shareholder so that the NxGen Shareholder may hold less than the anticipated 72.5% of NuSep’s Expanded Share Capital. The payment of the Third Instalment is contingent on NxGen reaching a pre-tax profi t of $2.1 million by 30 June 2010. If NxGen does not meet this condition, the Consideration Shares in the Third Instalment will not be issued.

The funds raised under the Offer will fi rst be used to pay the expenses of the Offer. These costs are expected to be approximately $800,000.

On the assumption that the Offer is fully subscribed:

  • $3.1 million of the proceeds raised will be used to fund the cash component of the consideration payable to the NxGen Shareholder for the NxGen Acquisition and NxGen’s working capital and expansion into the US; and

3. NxGen Overview

3.1 NxGen’s Business

NxGen is a fully diversifi ed pharmaceutical business and the largest developer and licensor of custom pharmaceuticals in Australia. The company has two wholly-owned subsidiaries – ASA and NxGen Australia. A structure diagram of the NxGen Group is set out below:

ASA is a wholesale distributor of chemicals and other compounding supplies and is operating through a licence from the NSW Department of Health. ASA is the exclusive Australian and New Zealand distributor for Medisca Inc’s fi ne chemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients and has over 200 customers in Australia.

NxGen Australia conducts market research, training and educational services for NxGen.

NxGen has experienced solid growth over the past couple of years, partly as a result of the expansion of its scientifi c formulation and analytical capabilities which have resulted in the commercialisation of a number of new products. In addition, NxGen has a solid pipeline of new products which it will bring to the market over the next few years[2] . The company’s development pipeline includes a number of novel products such as a slow release implant designed to overcome substance abuse including opiate, amphetamine and alcohol addiction.

NxGen is the dominant market player in the Australian custom pharmaceuticals development market. NxGen has focused its expertise on several niche markets including:

  • (a) pharmaceutical;

  • (b) sexual dysfunction;

  • (c) veterinary pharmaceuticals;

  • (d) innovative cosmetics and peptide therapies; and

  • (e) drug development formulation.

To date, sales of NxGen’s developed products have been limited to the Australian market. NxGen will use some of the funds raised under the Offer to open the US market for its nasal spray products. The US market is approximately 20 times the size of the Australian market. In addition, NxGen’s major Australian client is currently expanding into the UK market, which is approximately 3 times the size of the Australian market. NxGen is also considering distributing its products into other parts of the world.

2No assurances can be given that NxGen’s research and development will give rise to the development of a commercially successful product.

NxGen recently developed and licensed a prostate herbal mixture which is sold exclusively in Australia. As part of the development process NxGen assisted its client to obtain a TGA listing to market it worldwide. Furthermore, NxGen has recently begun to develop a local anaesthetic gel for minor surgical procedures and injections for children. Phase 1 of the clinical trials is scheduled to start shortly in a major Australian teaching hospital and initial results of these trials should be available in approximately 12 months time.

NxGen’s potential future pipeline of products comes from several growth areas including substance abuse medications. One of these potential products is a slow release product to overcome addiction to “ICE” (i.e. methamphetamine) and cocaine.

Off Label Regulatory Provisions

NxGen develops products that range from nutritional supplements through to prescription pharmaceuticals that need to be prescribed by doctors. The pharmaceutical products developed by NxGen for the custom pharmaceutical market are exempt from the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 under section 5, item 6 of the Therapeutic Goods Regulations 1990 and Schedule 8(2) of the Therapeutics Goods Regulations 1990. This exemption allows doctors to prescribe NxGen’s custom pharmaceuticals. This is often called ‘Off Label’ use.

NxGen develops products that are prescribed by doctors. The doctor specifi es the active constituents required for a specifi c patient on the prescription and NxGen then develops a product incorporating these active constituents. This approach allows the doctor to prescribe an individual medication specifi c to the patient’s needs rather than trying to make a patient fi t a predefi ned therapeutic regimen. Also, this approach allows doctors to prescribe medications where there is no commercial product available.

NxGen and its founders have been creating and developing products for doctor prescriptions both in Australia and overseas for over 15 years. Pharmacy compounding is a well established business worldwide. One of NxGen’s core competencies is its ability to quickly develop stable and effective products to meet the exact demands of individually tailored prescriptions.

Each of the active constituents in NxGen’s products have previously been used to treat ailments for many years. Most of these active constituents have been the subject of extensive clinical trials over the years, albeit using different dose formulations. These clinical trials have confi rmed that the medications are clinically effective and have provided detailed data on safety and effi cacy.

NxGen’s custom pharmaceutical products have not been approved for over the counter sales. This means that its products cannot be sold under a brand name nor can they be sold through a retail pharmacy.

The provision of NxGen’s developed medications through pharmacies on an individual prescription basis is lawful in Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States and most other countries around the world.

The use of custom pharmaceuticals is a common practice and allows doctors to individualise the medication to the patient’s requirements and to prescribe drugs to address aliments not otherwise covered by mainstream medications. NxGen’s founders have successfully operated a number of compounding organisations within the Australian regulatory environment for over 25 years.

The US custom pharmaceutical market works along the same principles as the Australian compounding market. There are numerous compounding pharmacies in the US and the US compounded or “Off Label” regulations are similar to the Australian regulations.

Individual Tailored Medications – The NxGen Advantage

One of NxGen’s core competencies is its ability to develop and formulate ‘one off’ medications for patients. This is a skill that the founders of NxGen have developed over a 25 year period, both in the Australian and overseas markets.

Individual medication offers many advantages to a patient, not least of which is the speed and effi cacy of the treatment. Proteomics is opening up the individual medication area by offering individual health profi ling. This will enable people to know if they are predisposed to certain diseases, particularly hereditary diseases. NxGen is a leader in the preparation of medications for this individual medicine future.

It is NxGen’s business model to develop individually tailored medication for its clients thus offering a long-term individual therapeutic regimen which the patient can safely utilise for many years. NxGen will advertise its services to the general public and use different media to send out different product offerings thereby breaking the market into a number of niches.

22 ~~N~~ uSep Ltd Prospectus 2009

==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

NxGen has developed more than 20 proprietary compound formulations using previously approved ingredients. These products are provided in a number of delivery formats including nasal spray, lozenges and gel formulation. NxGen has developed a number of different products and delivery mechanisms which allow doctors to prescribe and pharmacies to dispense a tailored individual product for each patient. This approach fundamentally differentiates NxGen’s business model and sets it apart from other pharmaceutical organisations.

Finally, the range of treatment options open to NxGen allows the company to tailor treatment to a patient’s particular needs. This is particularly important for a number of patient groups who can’t use existing products or require different treatment regimes.

Market for NxGen’s Products

This section sets out the markets for NxGen’s main products in more detail.

(a) Drug Development and Formulation

Drug development, formulation and stability are critical in the development of a new pharmaceutical product. Less than 1 in every 3 drugs fi nally reaches the market and even those that do often require reformulation and stability testing to overcome short comings such as shelf life. NxGen, through its many years of product development and the formulation experience of its expert team has built up a signifi cant skill base in developing stable and effective pharmaceutical formulations.

Drug development as discussed here relates to the development, formulation, small scale manufacture (non-TGA) and regulatory processing of new products for the pharmaceutical market. NxGen undertakes drug development and formulation for many of Australia’s top niche market and contract pharmaceutical companies. In addition NxGen has also developed high tech skin treatments and transdermal topical creams.

(b) Sexual Dysfunction Markets

The sexual dysfunction market covers erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and female sexual dysfunction. In these markets NxGen only has direct competition in the erectile dysfunction market. In the 12 months ended 30 June 2008, NxGen received $220,000 in licensing fees from the sales of all prescriptions fi lled by ACP based on NxGen developed products.

Erectile Dysfunction Market

Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects the lives of many middle-aged men.

There have been a number of studies on the prevalence of ED. As an example, in the Massachusetts Male Aging Study (MMAS) it was revealed that 52% of men aged 40-70 years report some degree of erectile dysfunction.[3] It is estimated that about 150 million men worldwide suffer from erectile dysfunction. According to the MMAS study, age is a signifi cant factor in the rate of ED. Between the ages of 40 to 70 years, the incidence of moderate ED doubles from 17% to 34%, whereas that of severe ED triples from 5% to 15%.

Previously, doctors thought ED was primarily caused by psychological factors. While thoughts and emotions always play a role in getting an erection, ED is usually caused by a physical cause, such as a chronic health problem or the side effects of medication.

Common causes of erectile dysfunction include:

  • (a) heart disease;

  • (b) clogged blood vessels (atherosclerosis);

  • (c) high blood pressure;

  • (d) diabetes;

  • (e) obesity; and

  • (f) metabolic syndrome.

In some cases ED is one of the fi rst signs of an underlying medical problem.

3E Medicine Erectile Dysfunction. www.emedicine.com/MED/topic3023.htm

NuSep Ltd Prospectus 2009 [ 2][3]

==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

Despite this signifi cant growth, it is estimated that 85-90% of men with ED remain untreated[4] . In 2005, the ED market was estimated to be US$1.95 billion[5] and by 2006, the market had grown to US$3.8 billion. It is forecast to increase by 74% to US$6.6 billion by 2012.[6] This report also notes that growth could be greater if a drug could address the 30% of people for whom the current treatments available fail. The NxGen product addresses this unmet need.

NxGen’s commercial relationship with ACP is particularly important. A pharmaceutical licence is required to compound NxGen developed products. As NxGen does not hold a pharmaceutical licence it relies on ACP which holds a pharmaceutical licence to compound its products.

AMI Australia is a subsidiary of AMI Inc which is a US over the counter company with the code AVMD. NxGen does not currently have a formal contractual agreement with AMI Australia.

If NxGen’s relationship with either AMI Australia or ACP were to break down NxGen would be unable to sell its sexual dysfunction products to the market until other suitable arrangements were established. In particular, if NxGen’s relationship was to break down with ACP, NxGen would be required to fi nd another pharmaceutical licensee to compound its products. Without the services of a pharmaceutical licensee, NxGen could not sell its sexual dysfunction products to the market. It should be noted that ACP is a wholly-owned company of Mr Daryll Knowles who is the CEO of NxGen and a NxGen Nominee Director.

NxGen developed products compete directly with products such as Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.

In the 12 months ended 30 June 2008, NxGen received $220,000 in licensing fees from the sales of all prescriptions fi lled by ACP based on NxGen developed products.

  • (c) Premature Ejaculation Market

Premature ejaculation (PE) is one of the most common of all male sexual dysfunctions. This is a more common problem in younger men but older men can also suffer from it.

Contrary to the perceptions given by the increased awareness of erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation is the most common form of male sexual dysfunction. Even though it is a common problem that can be treated, many men feel embarrassed to talk to their doctors about it or seek treatment. Once thought to be purely psychological, experts now know that biological factors also play an important role in PE. In some men, PE is related to erectile dysfunction.

Experts believe a number of biological factors may contribute to PE, including:

  • (a) abnormal hormone levels;

  • (b) abnormal levels of brain chemicals called neurotransmitters;

  • (c) certain thyroid problems;

  • (d) infl ammation and infection of the prostate or urethra; and

  • (e) inherited traits.

According to “Sexual behaviour and sexual dysfunctions after age 40: The global study of sexual attitudes and behaviours”[7] , 14% of the male population over 40 years old suffers from premature ejaculation compared with 10% of the male population who suffer from erectile dysfunction. This suggests that the market for PE treatment is larger than the US$3.8 billion ED market. PE treatment options are limited and there are no labelled treatments available.

Female Sexual Dysfunction Market

Female sexual dysfunction affects as many as 4 in every 10 women at some point in their lives.

Female sexual dysfunction has many possible symptoms and causes most of which are treatable. Women can suffer female sexual dysfunction at any age, but sexual problems are most common when hormones are in fl ux for example, when having a baby or during the menopause transition.

(d) Pharmaceutical, Veterinary and Cosmetic Markets

These markets account for 30% of NxGen’s sales. They cover a number of different products including animal hormone preparations for the equine and canine market, anti-parasitic preparations for poultry and antibiotics and gastric products for horses.

NxGen’s Proposed US Market Entry Strategy

NxGen’s proposed US market entry strategy is based on its successful Australian business model. NxGen proposes to establish a US based compounding organisation to formulate products for use in their core product markets from ingredients already approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the ‘Off Label’ provisions. It is proposed that a US call centre be established to direct potential customers to a doctor’s clinic for a consultation. The doctors will prescribe the appropriate individual medication which will be fi lled by the US based compounding organisation.

NxGen is currently in negotiations with a potential US partner and believes that it will enter the US market later this year. However, there is no guarantee that this will occur and if it does it may be some time before any US based operations are profi table.

For the initial push into the US market NxGen will concentrate on the sexual dysfunction market and in particular, NxGen will offer treatments for:

(a) erectile dysfunction; and

  • (b) premature ejaculation.

As set out above, NxGen believes that its extensive product offering provides it with advantages over licensed competing products. NxGen will focus on those people for whom the existing products have failed to work. This latter group represents approximately 30% of all men who have tried the existing products[8] .

Once NxGen has established its US compounding facility it will start advertising in selected geographic markets. The potential customers phone a call centre and a consultation with a doctor will be organised. If the NxGen products are appropriate, the doctor will write a prescription for the patient that will be fi lled by the NxGen US compounding organisation. Once the prescription has been manufactured it will be couriered directly to the patient.

NxGen intends to establish operations in several core states and to then expand into additional markets. Its initial target markets are New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California and Florida. These markets have been selected for a number of reasons. The New York Tri State area and California were chosen as these states have large populations and high per capita incomes. Further, NxGen intends to establish its US compounding facilities in the New York and Arizona areas. Florida was chosen as this state has an older population which should offer a higher rate of people with a need for the NxGen product offering.

A summary of the material contracts and arrangements that NxGen is a party to are set out section 9 of this Prospectus.

NuSep Ltd Prospectus 2009 [ 27]

4. Independent Expert’s Report

2nd April 2009 Mr John Manusu Executive Chairman NuSep Limited 22 Rodborough Road Frenchs Forest, NSW 2086

Dear Mr Manusu,

As requested by the Directors of NuSep Limited (“NuSep”), we have prepared this independent Expert’s Report. This report is to be included in a Prospectus to be provided to NuSep’s shareholders.

NuSep announced on 1 October 2008 that it had entered into a binding Heads of Agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in NxGen Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd (“NxGen” or the “Company”) in return for shares and cash and subject to approval by NuSep shareholders. NxGen is a private Australian company that is wholly owned by Jehega Pty Ltd and has diverse activities in pharmaceutical product development and formulation, contract research, and specialty chemical wholesaling and manufacturing.

This report provides our opinion on the transaction and whether it is fair and reasonable in all the circumstances to the non-associated shareholders of NuSep. At the conclusion of this transaction NxGen Shareholders will hold the majority of the shares in NuSep and this is therefore a reverse takeover of NuSep by NxGen. According to Section 611 (Item 7) of the Corporations Act 2001 and Regulatory Guide 74 (“Acquisitions agreed to by shareholders”) of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, an analysis of whether the proposal is fair and reasonable to non-associated shareholders must be provided to shareholders as part of proper and full disclosure where control of the company may change. In addition, Regulatory Guide 111 describes the accepted meaning of “fair” and “reasonable” in Australian mergers and acquisitions practice. [1]

A transaction is regarded as “fair” if the assessed value of the shares acquired is greater or equal to the consideration given. The transaction is considered “reasonable” if the offer is “fair” and the potential advantages of entering the agreement outweigh the disadvantages to NuSep shareholders, or, in the absence of the transaction being “fair”, that the offer should be accepted if there is no higher offer. We understand from NuSep management that there has been no higher offer to date.

In arriving at our fair and reasonable opinion we have determined a value range of NxGen based on its assets and projected discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis and examined the likely advantages and disadvantages of the transaction to NuSep shareholders. We have also considered this valuation against the ASX industry price earnings (PE) multiple to triangulate this valuation. The sole purpose of this report is to provide this independent opinion to the NuSep shareholders and it should not be used in any other context.

==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

In conclusion, having regard to the offer of AU$21.25 million plus a performance payment of $3.75 million falling within our estimate of the fair value of NxGen being AU18.3 million to AU30.8 million with a mid point of 24.5 million, and considering the advantages and disadvantages, in our opinion the takeover is fair and reasonable to the non-associated NuSep shareholders.

The Proposed Transaction

NuSep is an Australian-based life science company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange Limited (ASX:NSP) and focussing on the development and sales of biological separations technology. NuSep was founded on 1[st] December 2006 from the divesture of certain Australian assets of Life Therapeutics Ltd (ASX:LFE). NuSep’s core competency is in precast gels and laboratory separation processes, namely the iGels the MF10 Separator instrument and biological products such as human immunoglobulin (IgG) and albumin.

NxGen has two subsidiary companies: ASA Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd, which is a pharmaceutical wholesaling company and the exclusive Australian distributor of Medisca, Inc.’s fine chemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs); and NxGen Australia Pty Ltd, which is responsible for the research and development as well as analytical, product development, training and marketing services in NxGen. The consolidation of these companies into NxGen occurred in January 2008. The company is also closely associated with Australian Custom Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd (ACP), which is owned by NxGen CEO and shareholder, Daryll Knowles, and provides pharmaceutical compounding services. The group of companies is headquartered in rented facilities at Taren Point, New South Wales.

Prior to completion of the NxGen acquisition, the Board of NuSep is proposing to spin out the existing separations business of the Company into a new public, unlisted entity, “Prime BioSeparations Pty Ltd”, in which existing NuSep Shareholders will receive a pro rata shareholding. The Board of NuSep also proposes to raise up to $5,075,000 under a general share offer (the Offer) pursuant to a prospectus to be issued by NuSep.

The consideration for the NxGen Acquisition will be paid to the NxGen Shareholder in the following three instalments:

  1. by the issue of 15.95 million Shares which equals 55% of the total Expanded Share Capital of NuSep post the acquisition, ie including the shares issued in the first instalment, second instalment and third instalment and the issue of the bonus shares (the First Instalment);

  2. by the payment of cash and/or the issue of up to a maximum of 5.075 million Shares that equals a maximum of 17.5% of the Expanded Share Capital of NuSep within 15 business days of the Close of the Offer (the Second Instalment).� In the event that the Offer is fully subscribed the Second Instalment shall be paid in cash.� In the event that the Offer is not subscribed or partly subscribed, the proportion of cash and Shares in the Second Instalment shall be determined by the Board immediately prior to completion of the acquisition; and

  3. by the issue of 4.35 million Shares which is to equal 15% of the Expanded Share Capital of NuSep when and if NxGen reaches a pre-tax profit of $2.1 million (the Third Instalment).� Such pre-tax profit must be reached prior to or on 30 June 2010.

The final value of the transaction will total $29 million, which will result in the NxGen Shareholder holding between 70% and 87.5% of the total shares in NuSep depending on the take up of the Offer. The NuSep shareholders will retain 12.5% of the issued capital of the company and so the cost to them of the NxGen acquisition is $25.3 million. If NxGen do not

==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

achieve the $2.1 million profit forecast the additional 15% shares will lapse and the value of the company to NuSep shareholders will be $21 million. The majority ownership of NuSep will then pass to NxGen Shareholder.

NxGen third installment Shares based on achieving $2.1m
profit
15% 4,350,000
Total Issued Capital after issue of Performance Shares 100.00% 29,000,000

The takeover will be funded by cash raised by the Offer which aims to raise $5.075 million to cover costs of the capital raising activity, support the cash component of the acquisition, expand the NxGen business into the US market, working capital needs of NxGen and Prime BioSeparations Pty Limited, and fund the spin out of the existing NuSep business. The NxGen acquisition is contingent on first gaining approval by NuSep shareholders for the spin out of NuSep’s current business into Prime BioSeparations. NuSep shareholders then need to approve the issue of NuSep shares to acquire the NxGen business. This report deals with the second of these steps, namely the purchase by NuSep of NxGen and whether this is fair and reasonable to the NuSep shareholders.

The NuSep share price has fallen progressively since listing on the ASX approximately eighteen months ago, from a high of $0.52 in June 2007 to a low of $0.04 in September 2008. The Company’s current share price is $1 ($0.05 pre-consolidation) and its market capitalisation is $2 million. We have not investigated the reasons for the change in the price of NuSep shares and this may have been influenced, among other things, by the effects of the recent deteriorating global economic conditions.

The Board of Directors of NuSep views the proposed takeover as the best current option for preserving and increasing the value of NuSep shareholders’ investment. The NuSep Board believes this proposal offers the best opportunity to raise the necessary funds to complete the development of the SpermSep instrument while offering shareholders an investment in a complementary profitable business. In particular this allows NuSep to become a pharmaceutical development and supplier company with positive cash flow and profit and provides a separate vehicle for further development of the separations business as a private entity. The NuSep management has stated that a major part of the business of NxGen is in sexual dysfunction and therefore related to the current business of NuSep.

Overview of NxGen

NxGen is a diversified pharmaceutical development and manufacturing business with a focus on the design of formulations that will be manufactured as “compounded” or “off label” pharmaceuticals. NxGen specialises in formulating products that treat sexual

dysfunction and has products in development for drugs of addiction. NxGen also manufactures cosmetics and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals and sells wholesale ingredients through the NxGen subsidiary ASA Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd. Most of the current business is generated in Australia and manufacturing is carried out through Australian Custom Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd (ACP) which holds a pharmacy licence in accordance with Australian regulations. NxGen is entering agreements with pharmacy groups overseas to significantly expand their operation.

NxGen’s staff have expertise in formulation chemistry, drug delivery mechanisms and the behaviour and action of pharmaceutical drugs. To support this development, the company has testing facilities to determine the composition and stability of the product and conducts clinical trials on new formulations. Once developed, they either license the appropriate formulations to contract manufacturers and compounding pharmacies to prepare the products and receive royalties in return or receive a pre agreed fee for formula development and testing. It is important to note that ACP is a separate legal entity to NxGen and the transaction with NuSep does not include any transfer of ownership of ACP, which acts solely as the strategic partner to NxGen. Because the company’s pharmaceuticals are individually compounded from previously approved drugs, and their safety and efficacy is not independently proven through specific clinical trials for that particular use, they are prescribed “off-label”. ACP claims to have a dominant share of the Australian market for compounded pharmaceuticals with the remainder mostly carried out by individual pharmacists.

The NxGen intellectual property is embodied mostly in formulations (or recipes) and in the use of particular excipients to meet the requirements of the physician. NxGen claims to have over 1,500 different proprietary formulations, including various delivery formats that have been devised by the company pharmacists based on their specialist compounding knowledge. These formulations are significant assets and are held as trade secrets rather than as patents. All NxGen’s pharmacist staff are responsible for developing these proprietary formulations, but most are attributed to Drs James Rowe and Daryll Knowles and held in secure databases. NxGen also has considerable knowledge of the sourcing of raw ingredients and the testing of them and of manufactured products.

Pharmaceutical Compounding

Off-label products are special formulations of known active compounds that have been prepared to meet individual patients’ needs and prescribed by a licensed physician. Offlabel prescriptions may be prepared from a registered medicine for a disease, indication, age, dosage or route of administration that is not included in its approved product information or registration.[2] They may be prescribed to treat conditions other than those approved by regulators. Doctors may choose to prescribe a medication off-label because their patient has exhausted all other available treatments, is intolerant of the required medication in its normal format, requires a different dosage to benefit from the effects of the drug, or many other reasons. The doctor writes the prescription based on their assessment of the needs of that particular patient and must accept responsibility for prescribing the medication and monitoring the patient. They must also be convinced that the off-label product better suits their patient’s needs and that there is good clinical evidence or experience that indicates the medication is safe and efficacious.[3] Pharmaceutical

compounding of custom drugs has a long history but this activity decreased as mass manufactured dosage forms became available and pharmacists dispensed pre-packaged medicines. It is a common legal practice undertaken by 95% of surveyed Australian GPs.[4]

Regulatory Environment

Under the regulations of the Australian Therapeutic Goods Act, the pharmaceuticals developed by NxGen must be produced or “compounded” by a pharmacist and cannot be sold off-the-shelf or over-the-counter in retail pharmacies or elsewhere. Companies that manufacture compounded pharmaceuticals must be owned by a pharmacist and NxGen have a close relationship with ACP which is owned by Dr Daryll Knowles who is a pharmacist, the CEO of NxGen and a shareholder.

ACP is a custom compounding pharmacy providing a range of formulations for dental, dermatological, geriatric, nausea, paediatric, podiatric and pain indications. Individual doses, flavour specification and veterinary products are available in a range of delivery and packaging formats. All products are manufactured at the Taren Point facility, with 48 hour script turnaround. At the patient’s request ACP retains repeats, and the majority of business comes from personal, repeat prescriptions. ACP also publishes, through NxGen Australia’s marketing arm, information guides about compounding for doctors and physicians, in an effort to educate their target market as to the uses and benefits of prescribing custom compounded products.

NxGen currently provides advice and formulations to ACP for compounding. All pharmaceutical products are tightly regulated and the processes, equipment and facilities used by ACP are regularly inspected to meet the standards of the State Pharmacy Board and also come under the jurisdiction of a number of other State regulations and boards. The Therapeutic Goods Act[5] provides exemption for extemporaneous dispensing (pharmaceutical compounding) and ACP is not required to be licensed by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) to manufacture and market its pharmaceuticals. This allows the company’s pharmacists to prepare pharmaceutical formulations for individual patient prescriptions, without requiring the company to meet the compliance obligations of TGA certification. The testing facility is registered by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA).

Although pharmaceutical compounding is well established there has been discussion by the Australian Government to change the regulatory environment under which this operates. A Discussion Paper was released in 2008 on the regulation of prescription compounded Medicines in Non-Hospital Pharmacies,[6] recommending that a tiered structure of approval be set up depending on the complexity of the products and size of the operation. NxGen and ACP management believe such a structure would be of competitive benefit to them since they are already preparing to operate to TGA requirements. We agree that this could benefit NxGen but the regulations have yet to be determined.

The UK and USA have analogous laws to those in Australia relating to access to off-label pharmaceuticals. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has clearly indicated that offlabel prescribing is considered legal in the US, and provides guidelines for doctors to make decisions about off-label prescribing. Analyses of prescribing patterns in the US have

indicated that 25-75% of prescriptions for some of the top selling drugs are prescribed for off-label uses.[7]

Several countries have different regulations to those in Australia in terms of who can manufacture bespoke formulations and in the way drugs are marketed. Most notable is the US where a compounding pharmacy does not have to be owned by a registered pharmacist and a number of compounding companies exist and operate. NxGen sees this as a market opportunity for certain of its product formulations and we understand that it is their intention in time to acquire such compounding business overseas enabling it to own this part of the value chain.

Contributions to value

NxGen has signed contracts and are in negotiation with a number of other companies in Australia and overseas. According to the Company business model, all products developed and offered by NxGen are individually prepared (or compounded only) by pharmacists for specific patients. Several initiatives are intended to allow NxGen to manufacture and market products in the US, Asia and Europe. Many of these arrangements are projected to be operating in 2009 and it is our understanding that they will contribute significantly to the cash flow of NxGen. Although we cannot guarantee that these events will occur as planned and in the time proposed, we believe the company has the capability and, with the new listed entity, the resources to bring them about.

Australian market

In Australia, prescriptions for compounded products come directly from Australian doctors to ACP who then contracts NxGen to develop appropriate formulations and delivery systems. NxGen and ACP have been successfully carrying out this work and have an effective monopoly position in the Australia market. We assume that this will continue. NxGen also have developed specialist formulated products for treatment of sexual dysfunction, drugs of abuse and several other areas and intends to expand this work through license arrangements with companies in larger overseas markets.

AMI Australia Pty Ltd

NxGen has a marketing and distribution relationship with AMI for all the products related to sexual dysfunction in the Australian and UK markets. AMI is a 100% subsidiary of Advanced Medical Industries Inc. which is incorporated in Nevada, USA, and whose shares are offered on an Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board through NASDAQ.[8] In this arrangement, AMI markets the NxGen products to fill prescriptions for products prescribed by AMI doctors through their clinics and call centres specialising in sexual dysfunction. AMI has operated since 1993 in Australasia and now has more than 30 treatment clinics.[9] The arrangement with AMI is important for NxGen but the agreement is verbal. To address this issue NxGen is currently negotiating a world wide supply agreement with AMI. In the absence of this arrangement NxGen would have to build this service themselves.

NxGen intend to enter several overseas markets with business structures and facilities that will enable it to sell directly to patients and to manufacture off-label products. Negotiations with several companies in the US, UK, Malaysia and other Asian countries are advanced and NxGen expects these to generate cash flow in 2009. In several cases NxGen is seeking to

acquire companies in these countries which will be paid through shares or cash raised from the market. We have reviewed these opportunities and negotiations and where we have considered it appropriate, have included these in our valuation sensitivity analysis of cash flows. The operation of NxGen and its future expansion depends on successfully concluding a number of agreements and acquisitions but there is no guarantee that these will be completed in the timeframe proposed.

NxGen business growth areas

NxGen is focusing on treatments for sexual dysfunction, drugs of dependence and skin treatments, which fit its business strategy and marketing through clinics and specialists requiring close and confidential consultation between the prescribing physician and the patient. Whilst there are competing products in each of the areas targeted, the approach to these niche markets is a familiar and profitable business area for NxGen. NxGen also provides contract research to develop new formulations in other areas and they also conduct a wholesaling business of imported cosmetics and other products.

1. Sexual dysfunction treatments

NxGen has developed treatments for premature ejaculation (PE) and erectile dysfunction (ED) in men, and sexual dysfunction in women (female sexual dysfunction or FSD). The active ingredients are currently available and may use a range of application systems including a nasal spray, gel, lozenges and injectable formulation. The benefit of these delivery mechanisms is that they each bypass the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys, allowing faster action, elimination of gastric and hepatic drug degradation. Lower doses can therefore be administered with fewer side effects.

The products are currently sold through Advanced Medical Institute (AMI) in Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Indonesia and Europe. In other markets, such as Indonesia, the base material is shipped and the API is added to the mixture and distributed in-country.

Funds from the NuSep capital raising and NxGen acquisition will be used to enter the US market with these products.

Market size and approach

Over 150 million men worldwide reportedly suffer from erectile dysfunction and this is expected to double by 2020. Around 85% of cases remain undiagnosed and incidence is related to age, systemic disease, neurogenic or vascular factors, drug inducement and psychology.[ 10] Few men seek treatment and the overall market could expand with better education and less confronting consultations. Within the erectile dysfunction area there are niche markets with a high prevalence, such as diabetics.[11]

Currently three phosphodiesterase V inhibitor products dominate the erectile dysfunction market: Viagra (Pfizer), Cialis (Eli Lilly/ICOS) and Levitra (GSK/Bayer), which together generate revenues of over US$3 billion annually growing at 4.9% p.a. Sales in Australia, were $63 million in 2006.[12] The US remains the largest single market and new erectile dysfunction products are being developed by a number of companies, including Abbott, Pfizer, Inotek, Schering-Plough, Vivus and EK Chemicals.

The market for pharmacological treatments for premature ejaculation is relatively underdeveloped, with little statistical reporting and few effective products on the market. Premature ejaculation can affect men from a much younger age than erectile dysfunction, and the market is estimated to be at least as large (about 30% of all men reportedly suffer from premature ejaculation on a consistent basis).[13] Currently there are no competing drugs to NxGen’s premature ejaculation treatment, with only off-label anti-depressants, home remedies and internet-marketed solutions on offer. The UK company, Plethora Solutions, is developing a spray-on treatment (PSD502) which is expected to reach the market in late 2009.[14]

Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is another poorly recognised condition, believed to affect up to 45% of all women. FSD encompasses symptoms such as problems with desire, arousal, achieving orgasm and pain during intercourse. With an estimated 84 million women in the seven major markets suffering some form of FSD, and only a few approved treatments available, there is significant unmet need in this market.[15]

Procter & Gamble markets Intrinsa, a testosterone patch which is approved in parts of Europe but not Australia or the USA. Organon testosterone implants are available in Australia, and many other testosterone formulations are available off-label. The FDA cited the potential for off-label use as one of the reasons for rejecting the drug, Intrinsa, in the US, and is indicated for use only by surgically menopausal women (hysterectomy patients). PBN Pharma LLC has launched ApoGyn onto the market as a prescription medication to cause sexual arousal in women, without side effects. Other companies with products in development and clinical trials include Antares/BioSante (LibiGel), Boehringer Ingelheim (Flibanserin), Novavax (Androsorb), Pharmos (VPI013) and Recordati (REC 2615).

Risk Assessment

Major competitors dominate the global erectile dysfunction market and many new products are in development. Whilst AMI has a significant market share in Australia, there is no guarantee that the company will be able to establish such effective distribution arrangements in other markets such as the US or maintain its share in Australia. The AMI offer is not competitive on price, but the marketing approach and relative anonymity of the prescribing and drug delivery methods are key advantages.

NxGen does not currently have a formal contractual agreement with AMI. Whilst the two companies are understood to have a close relationship and NxGen shares all IP relating to the sexual dysfunction products prescribed by AMI doctors, if this relationship were to break down the company would be at least temporarily unable to receive license fees for these products. Without the assistance of a distributor such as AMI other approaches to the market would have to be implemented and this represents an increased risk to the timing and success of the expansion.

Value comparables

We note the following transactions which may offer some insight into current comparable valuations for NxGen in these markets:

from Futura the rights to two other early-stage products for female sexual dysfunction and premature ejaculation. GSK agreed to pay 65% of the development costs (approximately _2.4 million), plus royalties. In 2007 GSK cancelled the deal unexpectedly, and Futura signed a similar agreement with SSL International plc. under similar terms (SSL pays 65% of the approximate _3.8 million development costs, plus royalties and up to _18 million in regulatory and sales milestone payments).[16] Futura develops novel products for sexual health and pain relief using existing chemical entities only; none of their products are compounded. Futura has a market capitalisation of _14.6 million (or AU$32 million at 14 December 2008).[17]

  • Acrux Ltd (ASX:ACR) is an Australian company developing pharmaceutical products for global markets. The company’s pipeline of non-occlusive topical sprays and liquids includes treatments for decreased libido in women, menopause, hypogonadism, contraception, pain and nicotine addiction. In 2004 Acrux signed an exclusive licensing agreement with VIVUS, Inc. (NASDAQ:VVUS) for the development and commercialisation of topical testosterone spray, Testosterone MDTS, for decreased libido in women and Estradiol MDTS, for menopausal symptoms. Vivus agreed to pay Acrux combined licensing fees of US$3 million, clinical development milestone payments of US$4.3 million, product approval milestone payments of US$6 million, plus undisclosed royalties.[18] Acrux’s current market capitalisation is AU$76 million.[19]

  • In 2002, Nastech Pharmaceutical Company Inc. (NASDAQ:NSTK)[20] signed a development and marketing agreement with Pharmacia Corporation (NYSE: PHA) for their proprietary erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction treatments. The nasally delivered apomorphine product had completed Phase II trials in men with erectile dysfunction and was being tested in Phase II studies in women with FSD. Pharmacia paid Nastech US$3 million upfront, plus future development costs up to US$45 million and sales milestones and escalating royalties. Costs of US$3.4 million were reimbursed to Nastech, and Pharmacia also purchased US$5 million of common stock in Nastech.[21]

2. Anti-addiction treatment

NxGen is in the final stages of developing an implantable, slow-release pellet formulation of the generic, non-addictive, medication naltrexone. Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist commonly used to treat addicts. NxGen will be manufacturing naltrexone initially for alcohol addiction, and will then target opiate and amphetamine dependence. The implant is inserted under the skin of the patient’s abdomen, and slowly releases the medication for up to six months.

Market size and approach

The global market for all anti-addiction pharmaceuticals is currently valued at approximately US$1 billion per annum and expected to increase as a wider range of

treatments become available and addiction continues to be a major societal issue. Nicotine addiction and obesity are projected to be the biggest markets, based on the increasing incidence of obesity globally and community pressure to quit smoking.[22] The global market for alcohol dependence drugs is about US$100 million and expected to reach US$300 million by 2016.[ 23]

The anti-addiction treatment market is relatively untapped but highly competitive, with a range of generic medications already available. A number of targeted therapies are in preclinical or clinical development and expected to reach the market over the next few years. Several major pharma companies are increasingly active.[24] Although Naltrexone has been used for many years in a range of formulations as a generic anti-addiction drug, this increasingly competitive anti-addiction market will require a new approach to capture share. Patients differ in their requirements and individual formulation, directed by the physician in consultation with the patient, in a dedicated clinic is seen as a distinct advantage.

Value comparable

  • Alkermes (NASDAQ:ALKS) markets Vivitrol, an extended release injectable formulation of naltrexone for alcohol dependence and now in clinical trials for opioid dependence. In 2005 Alkermes, Inc. entered into an agreement with Caphalon, Inc. (NASDAQ:CEPH) to develop and commercialise a long lasting naltrexone injection, Vivitrex, for the treatment of alcohol and opioid dependence. Cephalon agreed to pay US$160 million upfront, plus US$110 million on FDA approval and up to an additional US$220 million in milestone payments based on sales.[25] In January 2008 Alkermes licensed the rights to the product, Vivtrol, outside the US, to Johnson and Johnson subsidiary Cilag GmbH International. Cilag will pay up to US$39 million in milestone payments plus royalties for rights in the Russian and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region.[26] Alkermes is a much larger well established USbased company, with multiple products in the market and is further advanced than NxGen with a correspondingly high valuation.

3. Contract services

NxGen provides contract drug development and formulation services to the pharmaceutical and consumer products sectors. They assist drug developers and manufacturers (in both human and veterinary markets) to produce novel products and reformulate old products, with a range of delivery formats available including tablets and capsules, lozenges, injectables, nasal sprays, suppositories and gel formulations. Examples of the company’s work in consumer products include soap, skin cream and other cosmetic formulations.

NxGen does not retain the formulation developed through its contract research work but it does increase the technology base and diversification within NxGen and positions NxGen as a major source of knowledge in formulation. Following formulation, NxGen may retain the contract to manufacture the product and in other cases the clients may pass the formulation

on to a separate contract manufacturing organisation (CMO). Reflecting their strong position in the industry, ASA will also run educational courses covering the theoretical and practical aspects of extemporaneous compounding.

Formulation is a critical but under-serviced niche area of pharmaceutical contracting where NxGen has specific expertise. In general this contract and educational work helps to maintain the strength of the company and competitiveness in formulation know-how, and reflects market leadership. There is a risk in loss of key staff with formulation knowledge and critical company know-how may be disseminated to other companies through this work. It is also a low revenue area relative to the other key business lines.

4. Specialty Pharmaceutical Wholesaling

ASA Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd (ASA) is wholly owned by NxGen and is a wholesale distributor of chemicals and other compounding supplies operating through a licence from the NSW Department of Health. ASA is the exclusive Australian distributor for Medisca Inc., a North American supplier of bases, fine chemicals, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), controlled substances, natural flavours and oils, and equipment and devices sourced from US FDA-inspected[27] manufacturers worldwide. ASA also sources goods from alternative suppliers, including empty capsules, nutraceuticals and other fine chemicals. ASA already has a number of significant Australian compounding pharmacies as customers. This is a relatively simple business for NxGen to operate, with low overheads and expenses.

Value comparable

  • A major player in the pharmaceutical wholesaling market in Australia is Australian Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (API). API is considerably larger than NxGen and, whilst not a direct comparable, API is worth noting because it currently holds about 90% of the market and has a number of corporate pharmacy licences. API is listed on the ASX with a market capitalisation of $102 million (27 December 2007).[28] The company is not only a pharmaceutical wholesaler (over the counter[29] and PBS[30] medicines), but also owns the Priceline, Soul Pattinson and Pharmacist Advice pharmacy brands, and provides services to the retail health and beauty markets. Additionally, API has a partnership with the generic medicines distributor Alphapharm Pty Ltd.[31]

6. Corporate pharmacy licence in Australia

The New South Wales Government provides an exemption to the regulation in the Pharmacy Act to allow wholesale manufacturing companies to hold “corporate” pharmacy licences and own a pharmacy provided it is operated by a qualified pharmacist. Around half of the current 30 licenses are owned by pharmaceutical wholesaler Australian Pharmaceutical Industries Limited. NxGen is seeking to purchase a corporate pharmacy licence which would allow the ACP business to be combined with the NxGen group. However there is no guarantee that this will take place or under what terms.

  • In March 2006 Coles Myer (now the Coles Group, owned by Wesfarmers) acquired Sydney retail pharmacy business Sydney Drug Stores Pty Ltd (trading as Pharmacy Direct). The acquisition included a retail store in Western Sydney and an online, mail, fax and phone order pharmacy business with a 430,000 customer base, 100 employees and $44 million in annual sales. The purchase of Pharmacy Direct also included the corporate pharmacy licence under which the company operated. The total value of the acquisition was $48 million (excluding merchandise), and was paid in full in Coles Myer shares.[32,33]

Assessment of fairness

In our assessment of the proposed transaction being fair we have considered whether our independently assessed value of the technology, IP and other assets held by NxGen exceeds the consideration in the proposal to acquire these assets.

Several methods may be used to estimate the current value of NxGen, and their suitability depends on the circumstances of the company, the transaction and the available data in the particular industry sector. These are outlined in ASIC Practice Note 43, 111 & 112 and information on them is available widely. These methods include multiples of earnings, market based comparisons with recent transactions of similar companies (or recent quoted price of listed securities) or calculation of Net Present Value (NPV) from an analysis of Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) projections.

We have used a DCF analysis of after tax cash flows as our primary valuation methodology and have compared this with the values of companies developing or selling similar products together with multiples of their earnings.

Discounted cash flow valuation

A DCF analysis is used to determine the Net Present Value of the business as a going concern. We regard the DCF methodology to be most appropriate because it captures many variables in the operating business and is based on future projected earnings. The disadvantage of DCF is the inherent uncertainty of the future projected cash flow, including future revenues and the level of discounting applied.

We have considered each of the main product and technology areas in NxGen to form an aggregate valuation (Base Case) and have applied sensitivity analyses aimed to account for variation in discount rates, variation of performance to milestones and possible changes in market conditions. These are: Sensitivity 2: Income from account sales is reduced by 21% in year 1 (FY2008-2009) to 43% in years 3-5. Sensitivity 3: Entry into the US market is delayed by one year to Q4 FY2009-2010 with no income prior to this date. Expenses associated with this market are maintained. Discount rates used are described later under assumptions. We have also considered the values of recent transactions announced by several companies with products in sexual dysfunction and addiction therapy markets.

Assumptions

  1. NxGen is composed of several companies that have been operating semi-independently up to 2008 when they were merged into NxGen Pharmaceuticals. Historical financial statements are available for the individual companies but the combined statements for NxGen only cover the Q1, Q2 and Q3 of FY2008-2009. NxGen Directors have also provided Pro Forma Financial Statements including projections for the full financial year to end June 2009.

  2. The NxGen financial statements and projections for FY2007-2008 and FY2008-2009 are the subject of an Investigative Accountants report to be found elsewhere in this Prospectus and which we have relied upon in preparing our report.[34] We have not audited any accounts or carried out detailed due diligence. The projections used on our analysis included cash flows from overseas operations which were not included in the Investigative Accountant’s report.

  3. NxGen management have also provided their projections for cash flows for the operation of domestic and overseas activities up to December 2010 and we have used these projections and the historical financial statements in our base case analysis. The cash flow budget includes income derived from domestic (Australian) sales and license fees from overseas sales of product through contracting companies and NxGen expects continued growth in all of these markets. The NxGen Director’s monthly and quarterly projections for FY2008-2009 include increased domestic sales, which continue the growth seen in the previous three months, and one quarter (April – June 2009) of new overseas sales. The NxGen management’s revenue projections to December 2010 continue at a similar growth rate.

  4. In our DCF analysis we have extrapolated these after tax cash flow projections from FY2010-2011 to FY2012-2013. (See Table 3) In doing so we have increased the company income and variable expenditure for domestic sales by 10% per annum and international license income by 20% per annum based on our understanding of the present business and the market potential for the NxGen products. These projected increases are expected to come largely from expansion of existing client business and are less per annum than those budgeted up to December 2009.

  5. Entry into the North American market through licensees or distributors will be a new venture for NxGen and the company is in advanced negotiations or has signed agreements with compounding pharmaceutical companies in the USA and elsewhere. In several of these agreements NxGen will take over existing businesses with ongoing cash flows and NxGen revenues from these are expected to start in Q4 of FY2008-2009. Accordingly, the NxGen budget includes a three fold increase in revenue from FY20082009 to FY2009-2010 due largely to the increase in sales from overseas markets over the full year (in FY2008-2009 overseas sales occurred in one quarter only).

  1. Future cash flow forecasts are subjective, especially where they involve entry of the company into new territories. We have considered the main transactions that NxGen intends to enter into and reviewed the assumptions the Directors used in their forecasts and we regard these as reasonable within their ability to predict these events. However, there is no guarantee that they will take place or achieve market share and meet regulatory and market requirements in the time frame indicated by NxGen or within this budget. We have tried to account for this in our extrapolations and scenario analyses where we have applied variations to the cash flows and discount rates to reflect three possible alternative scenarios related to timelines of market entry and penetration. The first model or Base Case uses extrapolated cash flow data provided by NxGen management. In the second model we have discounted the income from the Australian market, while allowing for the projected overseas sales. In the third model we have discounted the overseas sales by delaying entry into the US market by one year while maintaining the projected Australian sales. No terminal value is included in any model.

  2. In our base model the contribution of the US market to total income is budgeted to increase from 4% in FY2008-09 to 19% of income in FY2009-2010 and the contribution of all overseas market to the NPV is approximately 33% in the base case and ranged from 22% to 49% in the sensitivity analyses.

  3. We have applied ranges of discount rates between 24% and 40% uniformly to different cash flows. These values were selected according to the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) using a risk free rate of return as the current 10 year bond rate of 4.0% and a risk premium of 16%-30%. Handley[35] has calculated the Equity Risk Premium from historical data to be around 6.2% and, given the uncertainty of the market entry for several of NxGen ventures and achieving milestones, we have used a higher range. NxGen has a number of separate revenue streams and the Company has increasing profit from products that are in increasing demand. The risk is therefore less than if the Company relied on one or two sources of revenue.

  4. According to the NxGen unaudited balance sheet of 30 September 2008 the current assets comprising cash plus trade receivables and inventory minus current liabilities will be used up early in the ongoing business and these have not been taken into account in the valuation of the company. The book value of plant and equipment is $337,629 and NxGen currently rents space and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The

==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

NxGen balance sheet also includes intangible assets of $1,781,758 as intellectual property valued by directors. We have not included this in our own analysis of the value of NxGen. NuSep has over $10m of carried forward tax losses and we have incorporated these carried forward tax losses in our calculations.

  1. We assume that the regulatory and business environment that NxGen operates in remains generally constant over the period of the analysis and that there will not be any change in the economic conditions that would adversely impact a business of this type.

Comparable valuations

NxGen products and formulas hold a dominant percentage share of the Australian pharmaceutical compounding market and, in our view there are no companies that are directly comparable to NxGen and no sales of companies that could be used as exact comparables. There are also no directly similar listed securities and we have also not found any international companies or sales with publicly available financial data on which to base a comparable valuation.

We have noted above several transactions involving pharmaceutical companies that may assist us in providing a general industry benchmark indication for the valuation of NxGen. Three of these companies are developing products that will be used as over-the-counter products or ethical pharmaceuticals in the same medical areas as NxGen. These products are not compounded pharmaceuticals which would be analogous to NxGen and their manufacture and marketing will therefore follow more traditional routes for pharmaceuticals. Typically the value of such companies is closely associated with the intellectual property held in patents and their value relies on successful clinical trials and licensing to gain future earnings. In addition, several of these companies are currently not making profit and data is unavailable to calculate their EBIT and PE multiples. API is a major pharmaceutical wholesaler in Australia and may represent the type of organisation that NxGen could grow into.

Table 4: Summary of comparable valuations

Company Value Value(AU$) PE Ratio EBIT Multiple
Futura Medical £14.6 m $32 m NA NA
Acrux Ltd AU$67 m $67 m NA NA
API Ltd AU$126 m $126 m 8.4 5.9

Multiples of earnings

Methodologies involving multiples of earnings (these are mostly quoted as EBIT or earnings before interest and tax) or cash flows are used where these are known historically to be stable and the Company will continue to operate profitably and with predictable growth. Several of the NxGen precursor companies have operated for several years and the owners have considerable experience in this market.

We have considered the multiple of EBIT that NxGen would need to have for it to be valued at the acquisition price of $25 million. Company EBIT for the full FY2008-2009 year is projected to be $2.1m and therefore a multiple of 12 would value the Company at $25 million. We have also considered the future growth through new activities, such as the launch of products into US and UK. If the EBIT of $13.2 million projected by management after one year (in FY2009-2010) is realised this gives a multiple of 1.9 for a valuation of $25 million.

~~N~~ uSep Ltd Prospectus 2009

==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

As a further indication of value, the average PE ratio for all companies listed on the ASX health, pharmaceutical and biotech index is 12.74[36] . On this basis and using the $2.1 million profit hurdle required for the NxGen Shareholders to earn their 15% performance bonus the value of NxGen is $27 million.

Taking these valuation estimates together, we believe that the offer price of AU$25 million is fair. However the value depends critically on achieving significant future growth in income from successful overseas operations.

Overall Valuation of the NxGen Technologies

We estimate that the offer price for NxGen of AU$25 million is within the range of our DCF valuation analysis between AU$18.3 million to AU$30.8 million with a mid point of $24.5 million. This value is also supported by our arguments based on comparables and multiples of earnings. We also note that the initial payment for NxGen is $21 million, which is less than our mid point DCF valuation analysis of NxGen. We consider the proposal to acquire these assets is fair to NuSep shareholders.

Assessment of Reasonableness

The NuSep share price has fallen progressively since listing on the ASX approximately eighteen months ago, from a high of $0.52 in June 2007 to a low of $0.04 in September 2008. The Company’s current share price is $0.05 and its market capitalisation is $2 million. The Board of Directors of NuSep views the proposed takeover as the best current option for preserving and increasing the value of the shareholders’ investment. In particular this would allow NuSep to become a pharmace ~~uti~~ cal development and supplier company with positive cash flow and profit and provides a separate vehicle for further development of the separations business as a private entity. Likely advantages to NuSep shareholders if the takeover is approved:

  • NuSep has seen its share price deteriorate to a small fraction of its listing price in 2007 and its operating profit decrease. The potential upside in value that could be achieved in the acquisition of NxGen considerably out-weighs the costs of continuing the NuSep operation.

  • NuSep Directors have investigated a number of alternative opportunities and have selected this course of action as the most beneficial to its shareholders.

  • NxGen is already a profitable business with good management and there are opportunities to increase income and value. This represents more certainty to the NuSep shareholders.

  • NxGen has multiple businesses that are consolidated under the new structure. NuSep shareholders will also retain share in the existing NuSep business lines through spinout pro rata allotment of shares in Prime BioSeparations.

  • NxGen forecasts strong growth (and hence investor returns) through expansion of the business to the US. The new product lines in sexual dysfunction and addiction are rapidly growing and suit a compounding business structure as operated by NxGen.

  • Likely disadvantages to NuSep shareholders if the takeover is approved:

  • The percentage share held by NuSep shareholders in the new company will decrease as a result of the takeover.

==> picture [35 x 714] intentionally omitted <==

NuSep Ltd Prospectus 2009 [ 4][3]

==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

  • There will be less liquidity of shares held by current NuSep shareholders in the new spin-out business containing the separation assets. (However the shareholders can participate in a listed business, NxGen, that is already in profit and is expanding into markets that have strong demand for their products.)

Likely advantages to NuSep shareholders if the takeover is not approved:

  • The existing shareholders will retain a higher percentage of the NuSep business and possibly have greater influence on decision making.

  • If the NuSep business is separated from the listed company into an unlisted entity as proposed, the listed company is still available for a merger or takeover, possibly under more favourable terms. There is therefore still potential for NuSep Directors to identify a better deal or opportunity for the company. However this has not occurred so far and appears less likely, especially if the company has no management and assets and would be of low value to shareholders.

Likely disadvantages to NuSep shareholders if the takeover is not approved:

  • The present NuSep cash burn will significantly curb operations without injection of capital and will limit expansion and this may decrease the value further. The current international financial crisis will make further capital raising uncertain and shareholders may be expected to inject cash to keep the business afloat.

  • It is unlikely that NuSep would make the bonus share distribution if this takeover was not approved by shareholders.

  • Liquidity of funds in NuSep as a cash-box company will be limited.

Based on our assessment of the potential advantages and disadvantages, we consider that the proposed acquisition is reasonable to the non-associated shareholders of NuSep.

Conclusions

The NxGen Pharmaceuticals group of companies has evolved over several years and the revenue streams come from several niche areas that involve complex marketing and regulations. It is well placed in the specialist market of pharmaceutical compounding which addresses patient specific medicines or personalised medicine under current regulations. The consolidation of these companies into NxGen and the subsequent takeover by NuSep provides the opportunity to streamline the operation considerably to focus on major global revenue areas and to benefit from additional management and direction. Further, the spun out Prime BioSeparations business will have a reduced cost base enhancing its ability to achieve profitability.

In our opinion, the proposed takeover of NxGen by NuSep as presented is fair and reasonable to the non-associated NuSep shareholders.

5. Prime BioSeparations Overview

5.1 Prime BioSeparations Business

Prime BioSeparations is a life sciences company that will sell products into the global bioseparations market. It is intended that NuSep will conduct the Spin Out of all of its assets and liabilities into a separate unlisted public company, Prime BioSeparations. As a result of the Spin Out, Prime BioSeparations will conduct the business currently being conducted by NuSep. The company will have offi ces in both Sydney, Australia and Atlanta, USA.

Following the Spin Out, Prime BioSeparations aims to inherit NuSep’s world class reputation for its innovative yet simple biological separation techniques including the world’s fi rst IVF sperm separation device.

After the Spin Out, Prime BioSeparations will manufacture, distribute and sell 55 products to customers in the USA, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Prime BioSeparations Products will include:

  • Gels – Prime BioSeparations will manufacture and sell precast gels including the innovative iGels, with a 2 year shelf life. These gels will be manufactured using a patented technique which allows plastic cassettes to be used. Gels will be sold directly or via OEM partners around the world

  • Separation Instruments – Prime BioSeparations will offer two unique biological separation instruments. The fi rst instrument released in February 2008 by NuSep can separate biological samples into 8 fractions for use in the proteomic market. The instrument is called the MF10 and can rapidly fractionate proteins using an electrical environment. Currently, the instrument has been sold to strategic sites with the view that protocols developed at these sites will result in not only publications in peer reviewed scientifi c journals but drive sales for Prime BioSeparations.

  • The second instrument, the SpermSep CS10, separates sperm for fertility treatments such as IVF. This product when completely developed will introduce one of the fi rst real changes in the way sperm is prepared in in vitro fertilization procedures.

  • Biological Products – Prime BioSeparations will supply research grade biological products manufactured using its unique separation technologies. These products will include human immunoglobulin and albumin. Using the latest separation technologies Prime BioSeparations will be capable of rapidly purifying high grade pure protein samples which can be used in research and development.

NuSep Ltd Prospectus 2009 [ 47]

6. Spin Out

6.1 General

Prior to the close of the Offer, NuSep proposes to spin out all of its assets and liabilities into a new unlisted entity, Prime BioSeparations. A return of capital to Eligible Prime BioSeparations Shareholders under the Spin Out (which includes successful Applicants of the Offer) was approved by Shareholders at the Meeting on 13 March 2009. Under the Offer, Eligible Prime BioSeparations Shareholders will receive a pro rata entitlement to 1.7 million Prime BioSeparations Shares. Please refer to section 2.17 of this Prospectus which sets out the rights and liabilities attaching to the Prime BioSeparations Shares.

On completion of the Spin Out, Prime BioSeparations will conduct the business and offer the products currently being offered by NuSep.

Once the Offer has closed and Completion of the NxGen Acquisition has occurred, NuSep will pursue a new direction and offer the pharmaceutical products currently being offered by NxGen to the Australian sexual dysfunction, antiaging medicine and addiction markets. In particular, the Company will offer hormone replacement therapies and erectile dysfunction products and some of the proceeds raised by the Offer under this Prospectus will be used to fund the expansion of these products into the US market.

As part of the Spin Out, up to $1.2 million of the proceeds raised by the Offer will be transferred to Prime BioSeparations to be used for working capital purposes and the repayment of debt including loans of up to $900,000 to directors and former directors of NuSep. However, if none of the $1.2 million of the proceeds of the Offer is transferred to Prime BioSeparations, Prime BioSeparations will have a negative equity position of $859,728.

6.2 Directors’ Loans

As part of the Spin Out, $900,000 in loans to NuSep from directors and former directors of NuSep will be transferred to Prime BioSeparations. It is proposed that up to $900,000 of the $1.2 million of proceeds raised by the Offer to be transferred to Prime BioSeparations under the Spin Out will be used to repay these directors’ loans.

The loans were provided to NuSep by the existing and former directors of NuSep in the following proportions:

  • (a) John Manusu (existing director) – $310,000;

  • (b) Hari Nair (existing director) – $176,042;

  • (c) Iain Howard-Sorrell (existing director) – $108,555;

  • (d) Choon Lee (former director) – $175,000; and

  • (e) Nicolas Care (former director) – $110,000.

On 29 September 2008, the existing directors of NuSep (i.e. John Manusu, Hari Nair and Iain Howard-Sorrell) entered into an agreement with NuSep under which the existing directors received a fi xed and fl oating charge over all of NuSep’s assets in consideration for the loans that they provided to NuSep. The existing directors provided $594,597 of the $900,000 of directors’ loans to NuSep. Under the agreement, the charge crystallises if the existing directors’ loans are not repaid or an event of default occurs. The agreement contains the types of provisions usually found in agreements relating to fi xed and fl oating charges.

Although the loans were due for repayment on 1 July 2008, in accordance with the terms of the loans, the directors have agreed that the loans will not be repaid until the Company has suffi cient funds to repay them in the normal course of its business. Under the Spin Out, the obligation to repay the Directors’ loans will be assumed by Prime BioSeparations on the same terms as the current loans including that the loans will not need to be repaid by Prime BioSeparations until Prime BioSeparations has suffi cient funds to repay them in the normal course of its business. The key terms of the directors’ loans are:

  • (a) (Repayment date) – As noted above, the directors have agreed that the loans will not be repaid until the Company has suffi cient funds to repay them in the normal course of its business. The lender (i.e. each director) may elect to offset all or any part of such amount against an equivalent amount of money due to the lender in NuSep Shares or converting notes (i.e. securities which convert into NuSep Shares);

  • (b) (Purpose of Loan) – The loan funds may be used by the Company for working capital purposes;

48 ~~N~~ uSep Ltd Prospectus 2009

==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

  • (c) (Interest) – The interest rate of the loans is 14% per annum (calculated daily from the date of the relevant agreement until the date of repayment) by way of one lump sum payment on the repayment date. Under each loan agreement, the interest rate may be increased to 16% per annum on all amounts outstanding if NuSep fails to pay the interest on the relevant repayment date;

  • (d) (Expenses) – Under each loan agreement, NuSep agrees to pay all legal expenses (including preparing any relevant agreements), any possible stamp duty, the costs of enforcement, incidental expenses and expenses to enforce repayment on a default;

  • (e) (Events of Default) – The following are considered events of default under each of the loan agreements:

  • (i) if NuSep fails to pay any principal, interest or relevant fee under the relevant loan agreement;

  • (ii) if NuSep commits any breach of or omits to observe or perform any of its covenants under the relevant agreement which remains unremedied for 14 days after being notifi ed under the relevant loan agreement;

  • (iii) if any representation made by NuSep pursuant to the loan agreement is incorrect or misleading in any material respect;

  • (iv) if any present or future indebtedness of NuSep is not paid when due;

  • (v) if NuSep is or becomes insolvent or steps are taken to make NuSep insolvent;

  • (vi) if NuSep is deregistered or steps are taken to deregister NuSep;

  • (vii) if any consent of any governmental or other authority is not given or is withdrawn or terminated with respect to a loan agreement or any security;

  • (viii) if any of the assets of NuSep necessary for the normal carrying on of its business is lost or materially damaged and not replaced or repaired within 60 days of the loss or damage;

  • (ix) if any judgement or order is entered against NuSep which the lender determines would have a material adverse effect on the operations of NuSep;

  • (x) if the relevant loan agreement, at any time for any reason ceases to be in full force and effect or is declared to be void;

  • (xi) if without the prior written consent of the lender, NuSep creates any encumbrance on any portion of its property;

  • (xii) if without the prior written consent of the lender, NuSep, transfers or leases the whole or a substantial portion of its property; or

  • (xiii) if the lender believes some act occurs to NuSep that materially and/or adversely affects the capacity of NuSep to perform any of its obligations under the relevant loan agreement.

  • Upon default, the lender (i.e. the director) may demand immediate repayment of the loan; and

  • (f) (Confi dentiality) – The terms of the loan agreements are confi dential and must not be disclosed to third parties without written consent (except for disclosure to professional advisers).

Impairment Contingencies

Please note that NxGen’s fi nancial reports are subject to an impairment contingency which is described in detail in the Investigating Accountant’s Report in section 10 of this Prospectus. In summary, the Investigating Accountant has expressed some doubt as to NxGen’s ability to continue to carry the following items in its balance sheet at their current carrying value given that on Completion of the NxGen Acquisition, NxGen will have to prepare general purpose fi nancial reports and adopt a more restrictive and prescriptive accounting and reporting policy framework:

  • (a) a fi nancial investment in Redwood Anti-Aging Pty Limited currently valued at $224,000;

  • (b) intangible assets including technology, product formulations, rights and licences currently valued at $1,769,592; and

  • (c) a fi nancial liability for income received as a result of a joint venture arrangement that NxGen entered into in January 2008 which was subsequently rescinded valued at $474,325. The Investigating Accountant’s Report provides that it is proposed that NxGen, through an associated entity, will provide in the future research and development, analytical and testing services to its former joint venture partner in lieu of repayment of these funds.

See the Investigating Accountant’s Report in section 10 for further details.

8.3 Prime BioSeparations

Set out below is a pro forma balance sheet for Prime BioSeparations as at 30 April 2009 which sets out the company’s balance sheet pre and post the Spin Out. Under the Spin Out, it is proposed that up to $1.2 million of the funds raised under the Offer will be transferred to Prime BioSeparations. The amount to be transferred to Prime BioSeparations will depend on the proceeds received under the Offer. Note that if none of the $1.2 million of the proceeds of the Offer is transferred to Prime BioSeparations, the company will have a negative equity position of $859,728. The directors of Prime BioSeparations (i.e. the current Directors of NuSep) propose to provide a $1 million debt facility to Prime BioSeparations if and when required after the close of the Offer.

The following are all of the material underlying assumptions that have been considered in compiling the pro-forma balance sheet for Prime BioSeparations:

  • (a) by relocating from its current facility to a smaller business location, Prime BioSeparations will save up to $700,000 per annum on rent, excluding outgoings;

  • (b) the Directors of Prime BioSeparations have taken a conservative approach to the valuation of assets by not valuing the company’s intangible assets which are recorded at a nil value;

  • (c) that the Spin Out will occur;

  • (d) after the Spin Out to Prime BioSeparations NuSep’s current business will continue to operate as it did pre and post the Spin Out; and

  • (e) in the event that the full $1.2 million is not transferred to Prime BioSeparations under the Offer the directors’ loans (valued at $900,000) will not be repaid until Prime BioSeparations has suffi cient funds to repay them in the normal course of its business.

Accordingly, set out below is a pro-forma balance sheet for Prime BioSeparations with:

  • (a) the fi rst column setting out the actual fi nancial position of NuSep as at 31 December 2008;

  • (b) the second column setting out the fi nancial position of Prime BioSeparations on a pro-forma basis post the Spin Out assuming no Shares are subscribed for under the Offer and none of the $1.2 million is transferred to Prime BioSeparations under the Spin Out; and

  • (c) the third column setting out the fi nancial position of Prime BioSeparations on a pro-forma basis post the Spin Out assuming the Offer is fully subscribed.

  • (share market conditions) NuSep, being a company listed on ASX, will continue to be subject to market forces that infl uence broad share market trends and the price of securities of individual companies. Accordingly, the price of the Shares when quoted on ASX will be subject to varied and often unpredictable infl uences on the market for equities in general;

  • (no guarantee of future earnings risk) there is no guarantee of profi tability, dividends, return of capital, or the price at which the Shares will trade on ASX after quotation;

  • (uncontrollable factors) NuSep, Prime BioSeparations and NxGen will be exposed to general risk factors that are associated with conducting a business including litigation resulting from the breach of agreements or in relation to employees (through personal injuries, industrial matters or otherwise), strikes, lockouts, loss of service of key management or operational personnel, non-insurable risks, delay in the 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 the Company; and

  • (product market factors) NuSep, Prime BioSeparations and NxGen may be affected by shifts in product markets and/or new products which replace existing product markets. Such shifts may replace existing products in an extremely short period of time making it impossible for the Company to replace these sales.

11.3 Specifi c Risks – NxGen

Specifi c risks associated with the NxGen Acquisition and the issue of the Consideration Shares are:

  • (a) (technical risks) NxGen has a number of projects that could give rise to products. However, no assurances can be given that NxGen’s research and development will give rise to the development of a commercially successful product;

  • (b) (compulsory acquisition) the NxGen Shareholder may be issued with up to 25.375 million Consideration Shares as consideration for the NxGen Acquisition. If the NxGen Shareholder is issued with all 25.375 million Consideration Shares, it will hold approximately 87.5% of the Company’s Expanded Share Capital. Under the Corporations Act, if the NxGen Shareholder increases its stake in the Company to 90% it may compulsorily acquire the remaining Shares in NuSep;

  • (c) (Completion risk) the NxGen Acquisition is subject to the risk that it may not complete as Completion is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including satisfactory due diligence. Completion of the NxGen Acquisition will not go ahead if the Company is not satisfi ed with its due diligence investigations on NxGen;

  • (d) (liquidity) the liquidity of Shares may be affected if the NxGen Shareholder holds a signifi cant stake in the Company and/or the Consideration Shares are subject to escrow restrictions. Under the NxGen Acquisition, the

74 ~~N~~ uSep Ltd Prospectus 2009

==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

NxGen Shareholder will hold up to 87.5% of the Company’s Expanded Share Capital and ASX has advised that the Consideration Shares will be subject to escrow restrictions for 24 months from the date that the Company has complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and been re-admitted to the Offi cial List. Future investors may be reluctant to acquire Shares in these circumstances;

  • (e) (intellectual property – GTN Erectile Dysfunction Gel) NxGen has been using intellectual property relating to the GTN Erectile Dysfunction Gel which was co-invented by Dr James Rowe, a NxGen Nominee Director. AMI Australia has made a patent application in relation to this intellectual property which if successful will mean AMI Australia is the sole owner of that intellectual property. Dr Rowe is currently in negotiations with AMI Australia to be included in the patent application. If Dr Rowe is successful he has agreed to assign his rights in relation to the intellectual property to NxGen. If this does not occur, it may have an impact on NxGen’s business;

  • (f) (joint venture arrangement) the NxGen Shareholder entered into a joint venture arrangement in January 2008 which was subsequently rescinded. Surplus funds received by NxGen under the arrangement were applied to ongoing liabilities as a result of the arrangement. NxGen’s directors are of the opinion that the NxGen Shareholder and NxGen have no liability to the other joint venture party. However, there could be a potential liability for NxGen arising from the original parties to the transaction having provided personal guarantees, which in turn could be counterclaimed against NxGen. If action was taken under these guarantees, NxGen’s estimated liability under these guarantees is not expected to exceed $500,000. These guarantees have an expected expiry date of September 2009;

  • (g) (ASX Approval) the Offer and the proposed transactions are conditional upon the Company satisfying ASX that it has complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules. This may not occur;

  • (h) (competitor risks) no assurances can be given that any products that NxGen will offer will successfully compete with other products either currently on the market or expected to enter the market in the future;

  • (i) (ACP) NxGen has a close relationship with ACP which has a pharmaceutical licence and provides pharmaceutical compounding services to NxGen for its products. As NxGen does not hold a pharmaceutical licence and cannot compound its products, it requires ACP to compound and distribute its products. Historically, based on the percentage of sales to ACP of the total sales of NxGen, NxGen is also considered to have been economically dependent on ACP.

If NxGen’s relationship with ACP breaks down, NxGen will be required to fi nd another pharmaceutical licensee to compound and distribute its products to the market and it is likely to have a negative impact on NxGen’s revenue. NxGen received $1,439,414 in revenue in the fi nancial year ended 30 June 2008 from ACP.

  • ACP is wholly-owned by Daryll Knowles who is the CEO of NxGen and a NxGen Nominee Director;

  • (j) (AMI Australia) NxGen currently develops formulas which are used by ACP to fi ll prescriptions from AMI doctors. NxGen does not have a formal contractual agreement with AMI Australia. If NxGen’s relationship were to break down with AMI Australia it would be unable to receive further licensing fees on the products developed for AMI doctors. NxGen received $22,000 in licensing fees during the fi nancial year ended 30 June 2008. Approximately 75% of this related to licensing fees associated to AMI;

  • (k) (material contracts) the following material contracts entered into by members of the NxGen Group contain provisions which may be considered to be one-sided in favour of the non NxGen Group party – the Wholesale Supply Agreement, ACP Services Agreement and the ASA Services Agreement. For example, under these agreements the relevant member of the NxGen Group releases and indemnifi es the other party from all damages, costs, expenses, loss or damage which that other party incurs as a result of the provision of services by the relevant NxGen Group member other than any action arising out of any negligence or wrongful act of the other party under the agreement. A reciprocal release and indemnity is not provided by the other party to the relevant NxGen Group member;

  • (l) (Medisca Inc) the agreement between ASA (a member of the NxGen Group) and Medisca Inc does not contain the type of terms that are usually found in an agreement of its kind. For example, it does not include any warranties or indemnities, any provisions regarding the ownership of intellectual property used in respect of the agreement or the fees to be received by ASA for performing its obligations (if any) under the agreement. Accordingly, if there was a dispute regarding this agreement it would be diffi cult to establish the key terms of the agreement between the parties;

NuSep Ltd Prospectus 2009 [ 7][5]

==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

  • (m) (fi nancial risks) the ability of NxGen to implement its business strategy may require it or the Company to raise additional funds. No assurances can be given that such funding will be available or that it will be available on terms attractive to NxGen or the Company;

  • (n) (impairment contingency) the Investigating Accountant has expressed some doubt as to NxGen’s ability to continue to carry the following items in its balance sheet at their current carrying values given that on Completion of the NxGen Acquisition, NxGen will have to prepare general purpose fi nancial reports and adopt a more restrictive and prescriptive accounting and reporting policy framework:

  • (i) a fi nancial investment in Redwood Anti-Aging Pty Limited currently valued at $224,000;

  • (ii) intangible assets including technology, product formulations, rights and licences currently valued at $1,769,592; and

  • (iii) a fi nancial liability for income received as a result of the joint venture arrangement that NxGen entered into in January 2008 which was subsequently rescinded valued at $474,325. The Investigating Accountant’s Report provides that it is proposed that NxGen, through an associated entity, will provide in the future research and development, analytical and testing services to its former joint venture partner in lieu of repayment of these funds.

  • See the Investigating Accountant’s Report in section 10 for further details;

  • (o) (lease) the lease for the premises that NxGen operates its business from is not registered. While the lease remains unregistered, a subsequent owner of the premises will not be subject to the lease. If NxGen is required to fi nd a new premises, the business will be disrupted until a new suitable premises is located. The permitted use of the lease also does not cover the manufacturing activities conducted by NxGen;

  • (p) (key employee risk) the future success of NxGen may depend in part on its continued access to highly qualifi ed scientifi c, technical and managerial personnel. The loss of key staff could have a material adverse effect on the company. While NxGen will seek to ensure that the services of key personnel are retained, no assurances can be given that NxGen will continue to retain and attract key staff as required by the business;

  • (q) (investigations) it has been reported in the press that the NSW Offi ce of Fair Trading and the Victorian Offi ce of Consumer Affairs are examining the operations of AMI Australia regarding complaints of alleged unconscionable contracts and undeliverable guarantees. NxGen develops products for use by ACP to fi ll prescriptions written by AMI doctors. It has also been reported in the press that AMI Australia has received attention from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission over allegedly misleading claims relating to the sexual dysfunction products and AMI’s guarantees. If a regulator does pursue AMI Australia, it may have a negative impact on NxGen’s business;

  • (r) (clinical trials) NxGen’s sexual dysfunction products have not been subject to clinical trials;

  • (s) (litigation) NxGen’s subsidiary, ASA, is a defendant to litigation that is currently being conducted in the Supreme Court of NSW. The plaintiff is claiming $66,000 plus interest, damages and costs from ASA. If ASA is unsuccessful in defending this claim it will more than likely be required to pay an amount to the plaintiff that will be determined by the Court;

  • (t) (regulatory risks) major changes in regulatory legislation, particularly in relation to the pharmaceutical market may affect NxGen. No guarantee can be given that the regulatory environment will not change and that as a result, NxGen will be required to undertake costly new regulatory processes or clinical trials;

  • (u) (non-performance) non-performance of signifi cant contracts by other parties;

  • (v) (failure to achieve sales growth) failure to achieve sales growth from existing products;

  • (w) (diffi culties with product launches) diffi culties or delays in completing product developments or product launches;

  • (x) (diffi culties with regulatory approval) diffi culties or delays in receiving regulatory approval or certifi cation for products or processes;

  • (y) (competition) the existence of any competition for the products currently offered by NxGen or to be developed by the company after the NxGen Acquisition;

  • (z) (substitute products) the existence of substitute or improved products developed by competing companies;

76 ~~N~~ uSep Ltd Prospectus 2009

==> picture [595 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

  • (aa) (research and development programs) the success or failure of existing research and development programs of NxGen;

  • (bb) (market development) the pace of market development for NxGen products and the costs involved in achieving market penetration and brand awareness;

  • (cc) (change in markets) changes in the markets for the products sold by NxGen; and

  • (dd) (litigation) litigation arising from the business conducted by NxGen.

11.4 Specifi c Risks – Prime BioSeparations

Specifi c risks associated with Prime BioSeparations after the Spin Out include without limitation:

  • (unlisted public company) Prime BioSeparations is an unlisted public company. Eligible Prime BioSeparations Shareholders will receive shares in an unlisted entity and will no longer have a ready market for their full investment. If Prime BioSeparations Shareholders do wish to dispose of or buy more shares in Prime BioSeparations they will have to do so privately. There is no guarantee that Prime BioSeparations Shareholders will be able to fi nd a buyer or seller for their shares in Prime BioSeparations;

  • (fi nancial risks) the ability of Prime BioSeparations to implement its business strategy may require it to raise additional funds. No assurances can be given that such funding will be available or that it will be available on terms attractive to Prime BioSeparations;

  • (litigation) NuSep is a defendant to litigation that is currently being conducted in the Supreme Court of NSW. The plaintiff is claiming $62,000 plus interest, damages and costs from NuSep. If NuSep is unsuccessful in defending this claim it will more than likely be required to pay an amount to the plaintiff that will be determined by the Court. Prime BioSeparations will acquire this litigation as part of the liabilities being transferred to it;

  • (non-performance) non-performance of signifi cant contracts by other parties;

  • (failure to achieve sales growth) failure to achieve sales growth from existing NuSep products;

  • (diffi culties with product launches) diffi culties or delays in completing product developments or product launches;

  • (diffi culties with regulatory approval) diffi culties or delays in receiving regulatory approval or certifi cation for products or processes;

  • (competition) the existence and extent of any competition for the products or processes to be developed by Prime BioSeparations after the Spin Out – particularly from major international biotechnology companies;

  • (substitute products) the existence of substitute or improved products developed by competing companies;

  • (research and development programs) the success or failure of research and development programs of Prime BioSeparations;

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

  • (change in markets) change in the markets for the products and processes sold by Prime BioSeparations;

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

  • (clinical trial litigation) litigation arising from the clinical studies undertaken by Prime BioSeparations.
