Chairman's Letter

5 th July 2011

Dear Shareholders,

It gives me great pleasure to offer you, as a NuSep Shareholder, the opportunity to participate in the Company's Share Purchase Offer (SPO) and in the issue of Bonus Options.

The SPO is only available to NuSep Shareholders. Shares under the SPO may be acquired for a price of 10 cents per Share. NuSep intends to use the SPO to raise funds for the marketing of the Gels and IQ software and partially fund the Asian Plasma projects.

All Shareholders as at 5.00 pm on 12 September 2011 (Bonus Record Date) will be issued one Bonus Option for every two Shares held by that Shareholder at that time. The Bonus Options may be exercised at 15 cents per Bonus Option before the Expiry Date (being 31st March 2012).

This is an exciting time for the Company. Since announcing its recent success in the Gels business and the new minimum purchases contract with Thermo Fisher NuSep is now pushing ahead with the development of the PrIME plasma facility in Singapore.

Designed with our smaller and Loyal Shareholders in mind

The SPO and the issue of the Bonus Options will enable our small and loyal Shareholders to increase their shareholding to a marketable parcel at a significant discount to the current share price without incurring any brokerage or other costs. We believe it is important to reward these loyal Shareholders who have funded the Company through its more risky R&D phase by allowing them to participate in the Company's commercial success at a discounted price.

The Current Business

NuSep is a vibrant and exciting company with significant upside. Over the last 12 months NuSep has:

  • Launched the enhanced 2 minute UV visualisation Gels;
  • Launched gels which open up the Bio-Rad & Invitrogen gel markets;
  • Launched a significant upgrade to the IQ software and introduced annual licensing sales model;
  • Settled the IP litigation with Thermo Fisher; and
  • Signed a US\$850,000 minimum purchases contract with Thermo Fisher.

Having established a solid base in the Consumables division it is now time to concentrate on developing the PrIME based Therapeutic plasma products in Singapore.

The Share Purchase Offer

The Company is seeking to raise a maximum of \$2.1 million and is offering shareholders an opportunity to subscribe for Shares at a price of 10¢ per Share. Therefore, the maximum number of Shares to be issued under this SPO is 21 million Shares.

The offer made under this SPO is non-renounceable. This means that eligible Shareholders can elect not to participate in the SPO but, if the Shareholder elects not to, it cannot transfer its right to participate in the SPO to a third party.

Shareholders may subscribe for Shares under this SPO in the following tranches:

Subscription Amount Share Purchase Offer Shares
Offer 1 \$1,000 10,000
Offer 2 \$5,000 50,000
Offer 3 \$10,000 100,000
Offer 4 \$15,000 150,000

I am pleased to advise Shareholders, that as the first step towards this \$2.1m raising, the Board and a number of Existing Shareholders have agreed to underwrite the first \$1.5m of this SPO. This underwriting commitment is a strong sign of the Shareholders and the Board's belief in NuSep's future. Even though this SPO is partially underwritten, the Board is keen to raise the entire \$2.1m SPO from our smaller loyal Shareholders.

Issue of Bonus Options

Each Shareholder who holds shares in NuSep as at 5.00 pm on 12 September 2011 will also be issued Bonus Options on a basis of one Bonus Option for every two Shares that they hold in NuSep.

The details of the Bonus Options are set out in Section 2 of the Prospectus.

Subject to shareholder approval being obtained for the issue of the Bonus Options, NuSep will issue the Bonus Options on 16 September 2011.

The Bonus Options are being issued for free to eligible Shareholders as a bonus issue.

Eligible shareholders do not need to:

  • participate in the SPO in order to receive Bonus Options; and
  • take any further action in order to be issued the Bonus Options to which they are entitled.

General Meeting to approve the SPO and issue of Bonus Options

It is proposed that a General Meeting (GM) will be held on Wednesday 31st August 2011 to approve:

  • the Shares to be issued under the SPO;
  • the Director underwriting of the SPO; and

the issue of the Bonus Options.

Shareholders should be aware that:

  • the Shares to be issued under this Prospectus are subject to Shareholder approval at the GM.
  • The Bonus Options to be issued under this Prospectus are subject to Shareholder approval at the GM.

The GM to consider the issue of the Shares and the Bonus Options will take place after the SPO has closed. If the resolution to issue the Shares is not approved at the GM, the SPO issue will not proceed and the funds will be returned to Shareholders. If the resolution to issue the Bonus Options is not approved at the GM, the issue of the Bonus Options will not proceed.

Full details of the SPO and of the existing NuSep business are outlined in sections 1 & 3 of this Prospectus. Full details of the issue of the Bonus Options are set out in Section 2 of this Prospectus.

I encourage all Shareholders to read these sections in full. I encourage you to be aware of the following Company specific risks:

  • Financial risks. The ability of the Company 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 the Company;
  • Litigation. The Company is the plaintiff in legal proceedings against NxGen to recover \$660,000. The Company is also the plaintiff in a US patent case against Expedeon.
  • Failure to achieve sales growth. Failure to achieve sales growth from existing products;
  • Clinical trial litigation. Litigation arising from the clinical studies undertaken by the Company.

A more detailed analysis of the risk associated with an investment in NuSep are outlined in section 9. You should read this document in conjunction with all of the publicly available information relating to the Company before deciding whether to participate in the SPO or to exercise the Bonus Options. If you have any questions, you should consult your stockbroker, accountant, lawyer or other professional adviser.

In conclusion, the Directors strongly believe in the future of NuSep and have shown their commitment by underwriting this SPO. As a Board we strongly encourage you to participate in the SPO.

Yours sincerely,

Mr John Manusu Executive Chairman

3.3. Expected Results for the Full Year ended 30 June 2011

The Company will release its full results for the year ended 30 June 2011 by Tuesday 30th August 2011. Based on unaudited management numbers, the Board expects a loss of \$2.5m for the full year.

The Board provided a detailed full year guidance to the ASX in its most recent announcement on Wednesday 27th May 2011.

This \$2.5m loss is due to four factors:

  • \$1.3m further investment in NuSep's Singaporean plasma business which has been expensed through NuSep's P&L;
  • \$1.2m profit shortfall in the IQ software business;
  • \$1.1m non-operational expenses including amortisation & depreciation; and
  • \$0.6m of legal expenses relating to recovery of the NxGen funds and protecting the Gels Intellectual Property.

See section 9 for more details.

3.4. Advantages and Disadvantages of the SPO and Bonus Option Issue

There are a number of potential advantages and disadvantages for Shareholders in subscribing to this SPO or exercising the Bonus Options.

In summary these are:

    1. Advantages include:
  • (a) By participating in the SPO or exercising the Bonus Options, Shareholders are providing ongoing funding for the company to achieve its stated goals.
  • (b) Subscription to the SPO or exercising the Bonus Options allows current minority Shareholders to top up their investment in the company as they will now be able to buy Shares at a discount to the current market price.
    1. Disadvantages include:
  • (a) The SPO will dilute those Shareholders who do not participate in the SPO.

  • (b) The Bonus Options (if exercised) will dilute those Shareholders who elect not to exercise their Bonus Options.
  • (c) The SPO will dilute large Shareholders relative to the smaller Shareholders as the maximum amount a Shareholder can subscribe is \$15,000.
  • (d) If no Shareholders take up the SPO then the Directors will subscribe for \$200,000 of shares under the Director Underwriting Agreement and will collectively own 10.1% of the company.

3.5. Summary of Key Risk Factors

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 is subject to a range of business risks, both of a general and specific nature. Full details of the possible risks associated with an investment in the Company are set out at section 9 of this Prospectus. These risks should be considered carefully before an application for Shares is made to the Company.

The position of the Company may change 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. Shareholders 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.

Shareholders should be aware that the Shares to be issued under this Prospectus are subject to Shareholder approval at the Shareholder meeting to be held on Wednesday 31st August 2011. This meeting will occur after the SPO has closed. It is possible that this resolution will not be approved at the 31st August 2011 General Meeting of Shareholders. In this situation the SPO issue would not occur and the funds would be returned to Shareholders.

There are also a number of Company specific risks including:

• (financial risks) the ability of NuSep 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 NuSep;

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

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

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

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

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

Should these risks materialise at a future time it may impact negatively on the Company's future share price.

3.6. Overseas Shareholders

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

The Company has formed the view that it is unreasonable to make offers of securities under the Offer to Shareholders with a registered address outside Australia after having regard to each of the following:

  • (a) the number of holders in each jurisdiction outside of Australia;
  • (b) the number and value of the Shares that would be offered to these holders; and
  • (c) the cost of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in these foreign jurisdictions.

3.7. Expenses of the Issue

The total expenses of the issue are estimated to be \$130,000 comprising

  • (a) Underwriting fees,
  • (b) legal and due diligence costs,
  • (c) printing and other administrative expenses, including ASX quotation fees.

These fees will be paid out of the funds raised under this Prospectus and these expenses are included in the general working capital application of funds.

4. . NuSep's Business

NuSep is a life sciences company that sells products into the global BioSeparations market. The company has offices in Sydney, Australia, Singapore and Atlanta, USA.

NuSep has three divisions:

  • Consumables This division sells Gels, IQ Software and Diagnostic reagents;
  • Clinical This division has developed the SpermSep IVF instrument. A clinical trial is required to bring this product to market;
  • Therapeutic This division includes the PrIME plasma business.

All of these divisions are connected by a common electrophoresis polymer technology.

4.1. 4.1 A Brief Outline of NuSep's Divisions

4.1.1. 4.1.1 Consumables Division

The Consumables division incorporates the IQ software, the Gels and the diagnostic reagents businesses.

IQ Software

When NuSep acquired the IQ software it did so with the expectation that this business would generate approximately US\$1.2m in profit in a full year. While the \$A/\$US exchange rate has negatively impacted on revenue reducing the US\$1.2m profit forecast from A\$1.3m to A\$1m, the real cause for this profit reduction was a lack of sales.

The IQ sales did not occur at the rate forecast because of two factors:

  • The late release of the critical software update which was only released on 9th May 2011; and
  • The original pricing structure required customers to purchase this software as a capital expenditure item resulting in a long lead time. Since mid-May 2011 an annual license fee alternative has been offered bringing the cost within most consumables budget limits of our customers.

Following the launch of the critical update and the new pricing structure, sales have shown solid growth. Sales for the month of May exceeded the total sales of IQ software for the previous three months and current trends indicate that this increase will continue in the coming months.

Development of the IQ software business is a work in progress. Further work needs to be undertaken on the website together with building the distribution network both in the US and worldwide. There were 14 officially recorded posters presented at the June 2011 ASMS meeting in Denver which reported the IQ software as 'Best in Class'. This sort of independent promotion is helping build the sales of the IQ software and in turn the value of the NuSep brand.

There are a number of further enhancements and new products that the IQ team are working on. This work is being funded by US Government grants which run until the end of the 2011 calendar year.

It is important to note that the Company was due to make a further payment of 3 times the net profit for the year ended 30 June 2011 if the net profit was above US\$500,000. As this has not occurred, NuSep will not be making any further payments for the purchase of this business. NuSep has paid a total of \$US2m to acquire this business \$US1.5m in cash on acquisition in May 2010 and a further \$US500,000 in shares on 31st December 2010.

Gels & Diagnostic Business

The Gels & Diagnostics businesses have performed as expected. A number of positive developments have occurred during this financial year which auger well for future profit growth in these businesses.

Gels

In the first half of this financial year NuSep invested heavily in injection moulding dies to open up the Bio-Rad and Invitrogen dominated gels markets. These markets account for approximately 95% of the total \$100m Gels Market. The first of these products was launched in April 2011 and by mid May 2011 direct sales of these products equalled the sales of the existing gel products. While making products that address the two main Gels markets has been critical, the new gel formulations and the 2 minute UV visualisation technology have made NuSep's gels 'Best in Class" and enabled the company to compete on a level playing field in the gels market. The company remains confident that it is on course to meet its stated intention of attaining 10% of the US\$60M US market. Much of this has also been generated by bringing on distributors in Asia. Currently our gels are being sold by 6 distributors in the Asian region.

Dollar Sales of the Gels in the October 2010 and January 2011 quarters were down. Actual volume sales during this period were flat, meaning that the sales decrease was due to the currency impact. The adverse foreign exchange will continue to hide the overall growth in direct sales of gels for the balance of the year to 30 June 2011. Gel sales have been particularly strong since the launch of the new gels in April 2011. As an indication of this growth direct sales for the month of May were the highest in this financial year.

The quality of the new gels is also apparent from the results of the FaceBook promotion that NuSep ran in April/May 2011. This was the Company's first social media campaign and has generated significant feedback, particularly for the unique UV application of this product. Shareholders are encouraged to review the NuSep FaceBook at http://www.facebook.com/nusepinfo. There are some innovative photos of our gels on the FaceBook page and this campaign has created quite a buzz in the marketplace. The campaign generated a number of new customers and is part of our strategy to establish NuSep as the #1 innovator & 'Best in Class' in the gels market.

Tied to this promotion is the significant website upgrade. The site is being developed as a great resource for our customers and the online store is much improved relative to the old site. The next iteration of the website will incorporate both the IQ and the Gels in the one shopping cart.

Diagnostics

Diagnostic sales have also grown throughout the last six months. NuSep has applied to the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for a license to manufacture diagnostic reagents. NuSep is one of the first Australian companies to apply for this type of licence. Once NuSep has this license it will be able to manufacture a wider range of diagnostic products, including human plasma diagnostics. While a small part of the Consumables division this business generates a significant gross margin.

As is probably clear our efforts in the Consumables Division over the last six months have been focused on generating increased sales revenue. This strategy will continue for the foreseeable future through direct sales and broadening our distributors' network.

4.1.2. 4.1.2 Clinical Division

NuSep has developed a unique patented instrument to separate sperm called the SpermSep. The SpermSep separates sperm for fertility treatments such as IVF.

The SpermSep was successfully evaluated for safety and efficacy in a 2008 clinical trial. This clinical trial involved 18 couples, 9 of which used the SpermSep, and 9 that used the existing process. The SpermSep group had 3 live births and there was only 1 live birth in the other group. Following on from this study it was decided to redesign the consumables component of the SpermSep to address initial feedback from the regulatory authorities. This redesign has now been completed. A final \$1m clinical trial now needs to be undertaken in order to bring this instrument to market. The Company is also evaluating veterinary applications with work being undertaken at 2 Australian Universities.

There are over 45,000 IVF cycles undertaken every year in Australia and currently 1 in every 30 live births in Australia is an IVF baby. The SpermSep is an application of the PrIME technology developed by IVF clinicians to meet their market needs.

4.1.3. 4.1.3 Therapeutic Division

NuSep has developed an application of the PrIME (Preparative Isolation by Membrane Electrophoresis) technology for the separation of therapeutic plasma products. Following on from interest from a number of Asian Governments NuSep has recently set up a fully functional prototype PrIME unit at its Lane Cove facility.

The initial budget for the entire SingaPharm project was S\$12m (A\$9m). It was initially anticipated that NuSep would bring in outside investors to fund S\$8m (A\$6m) of this with the balance of S\$4m (A\$3) coming from NuSep. As a result of this external funding NuSep would have its initial equity reduced to 38%, rising to 50% on successful product sales.

The feedback from NuSep's Shareholders at the EGM on 28th February 2011 was that NuSep should retain a larger ownership of this project than was initially proposed. As a result we continue to look at ways to maximize NuSep's holding in SingaPharm. In the full year to 30 June 2011 NuSep will have spent over A\$1.3m to fund the SingaPharm plasma business. All of this funding has been expensed through NuSep's P&L rather than capitalising it as an investment in the Balance Sheet. This is a more conservative approach, but one that the NuSep Board is comfortable with.

In the meantime, NuSep is evaluating additional non-equity based funding for this project and will keep the market informed as this develops. Since the February 2011 EGM a number of developments have occurred including:

  • Completion of the initial design for the Singapore plasma manufacturing facility;
  • In order to streamline building and operational costs the facilities in Singapore will now be established in the TechView building in Kaki Bukit in Singapore. This is a larger facility allowing for future expansion and also has more infrastructure reducing the initial set up cost;
  • Employed the Director for GMP Operations and appointed the Director of Regulatory and Quality Affairs;
  • Started updating the facility design for the new location; and
  • Sent out tenders for the Engineering Design and Build Management.

Since this project was started the EMEA requirements for the IVIG clinical studies have been updated. SingaPharm will now be required to undertake a clinical study of 40 patients over a 12 month period. This has pushed back the timeline of the first commercial sale by six months. In all other respects this project is on schedule.

In response to the establishment of the Singapore facility, NuSep has received requests from other ASEAN governments for the establishment of the PrIME Mini Mill concept in their respective countries The Company will update the market as these initiatives progress. As part of this marketing effort NuSep is using a push to regional self-sufficiency in the plasma therapeutics market. This initiative comes on the heels of the recent WHO report, a copy of which is on NuSep's website at www.nusep.com and the Australian National Blood Authority's Review of the Australian Plasma Fractionation Arrangements see http://www.donateblood.com.au/files/pdfs/Review%20of%20Australia%27s%20plasma%20fractionati on%20arrangements%20Dec06.pdf.

By continuing to invest directly in this project NuSep has maintained 100% ownership of the SingaPharm investment. In the event that the Company needs to bring in additional equity investment it will be able to do so at a higher valuation as some critical milestones have been achieved. Undertaking this investment has placed additional funding needs on NuSep and this has forced the Company to delay other projects including undertaking the SpermSep clinical trial.

8. Material Contracts

A summary of NuSep's material contracts are set out below.

8.1. Underwriting Agreement

The Offer is partially underwritten by a number of Existing Shareholders of NuSep and the Directors of NuSep to \$1.5 million. The Directors of NuSep who have agreed to underwrite the SPO are Mr John Manusu and Dr Hari Nair. The Existing Shareholders who are underwriting the SPO are Balmain Securities Pty Ltd, IE Properties P/L, Nutsville Pty Ltd, Mr Andrew Goodall, Mr Thee Woon Goh and Mr Ming Chiu (Underwriters). These Directors and Existing Shareholders have agreed to underwrite the first \$1.5m of the Share Purchase Offer (Underwritten Amount).

The Existing Shareholders have agreed to underwrite the first \$1,300,000 of the SPO and the Directors have agreed to underwrite the remaining \$200,000 of the \$1.5m SPO Underwritten Amount.

The Directors are considered to be related parties for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001. For this reason the proposed Director underwriting of the SPO requires Shareholder approval which will be sought from Shareholders at a General Meeting to be held on Wednesday 31st August 2011.

By underwriting this SPO the Directors are taking the risk that no NuSep Shareholders take up the SPO. In this situation the Directors and the Existing Shareholders would acquire 10 million Shares in NuSep.

A more detailed analysis of the Underwriters existing and maximum possible shareholdings under the SPO is outlined in the table below.

8.2. Additional information

Below is some additional information that Shareholders may find useful in understanding the Directors and Existing Shareholders decision to underwrite this SPO.

  • (a) The SPO was priced at a 28% discount to the market price. See section 1.2.
  • (b) NuSep requires this fund raising to achieve its stated objectives.
  • (c) NuSep is seeking to raise \$2.1m to fund the marketing of the Gels and the IQ software, invest in the Singapore plasma project and meet working capital requirements. See 1.5.
  • (d) Two Directors have joined with a number of Existing Shareholders to underwrite this Prospectus. This Underwriting Agreement guarantees the Company the \$1m in return for a 6% commission to the Existing Shareholders and a 5% commission to the Directors. This is the same brokerage the Company offered in the last prospectus, making the current Underwriting Agreement no more favourable than the terms offered in the last prospectus.
  • (e) The company has explored other underwriters including brokers and institutions. There was a lack of interest. In part this is due to NuSep's market capitalization and in part it is due to their lack of understanding of NuSep's business. The Existing Shareholders and Board understand NuSep's business and associated risks well, which is why they are prepared to take on the risk of underwriting this issue.
  • (f) The terms of the underwriting are standard and described in Section 8.3.
  • (g) Identities of the underwriters are disclosed in Sections 1.12 and 8.1.
  • (h) None of the Underwriters have traded in NuSep shares during the 3 month period up to the date of this Prospectus.
  • (i) The Existing Shareholders are independent parties. Their only relationship is their shareholding in NuSep. NuSep does not have any additional relationships with these Existing Shareholders. The Directors are considered related parties to NuSep.

8.3. Terms of the Underwriting Agreement

A summary of the Underwriting Agreement is included below:

  • Fees the Existing Shareholders are entitled to a fee equal to 6% of the Underwritten Amount. The Directors are entitled to a fee of 5% of the Underwritten Amount.
  • Representations, Warranties and Undertakings the Underwriting Agreement contains various representations, warranties and undertakings made by NuSep to the Underwriter. NuSep also gives a number of undertakings to the Underwriter, including that it will carry on its business in the ordinary course, will notify the Underwriter of any breach of the Underwriting Agreement and will not vary the terms of the Constitution, composition of the board or the capital structure of the Company without the prior consent of the Underwriter.
  • Indemnity NuSep indemnifies the Underwriter and certain other indemnified parties against all losses, liabilities, costs, claims, charges, expenses actions and demands incurred or suffered as a result of, or in connection with the Prospectus, the Underwriting Agreement, and certain

other breaches or acts. This indemnity is subject to certain limited exceptions, including neglect or default and breach of the Underwriting Agreement.

  • Termination the Underwriter may terminate its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement upon the occurrence of certain termination events. The main termination events are summarised below:
  • (a) Material Adverse Event There is a material adverse event which will have or is likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Underwriter to sell the Offer.

  • (g) Change of Law there not being promulgated, introduced or announced during the term of the Underwriting Agreement any statute, regulation, order or other enactment or any direction or policy of any governmental department or statutory authority in any jurisdiction which has or has the capacity to cause a material adverse effect on the Company, or any business operated by the Company, the Offer, acceptance by the Company of applications, the quotation, sale, transfer or disposition of the Shares or the ability of the Underwriter to perform its obligations.
  • (h) No breach of legislation there having been at the Termination Date no material failure by the Company or any of its directors to comply and continue to comply with any material provision of the Corporations Act or any other statute, regulation or order required to be complied with which failure in the reasonable opinion of the Underwriters, constitutes a Material Adverse Event;
  • (i) No breach by the Company no breach of the warranties or other breach by the Company of its obligations;

9. Risk Factors

An investment in the Company is not risk free and investors should consider the risk factors described below, together with information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus, before deciding whether to apply for Shares.

The securities offered under this Prospectus should be considered speculative because of the nature of the Company's business and Applicants should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for the Offer. The operations of the Company are subject to a range of business risks, both of a general nature and of a specific nature in respect of the business activities conducted by the company. There can be no guarantee that the company will achieve its stated objectives.

Shareholders should be aware that the Shares to be issued under this Prospectus are subject to Shareholder approval at the Shareholder meeting to be held on Wednesday 31st August 2011. This meeting will occur after the SPO has closed. It is possible that this resolution will not be approved at the 31st August 2011 General Meeting of Shareholders. In this situation the SPO issue would not occur and the funds would be returned to Shareholders.

The profitability of the business may be affected by factors such as market conditions, interest rates, inflation and consumer demand;

• (share market conditions) NuSep, being a company listed on ASX, will continue to be subject to market forces that influence broad share market trends and the price of securities of individual companies.
