Sydney, Australia 29[th] February 2012 - NuSep (ASX: NSP) is pleased to report to the market that it has achieved a net profit of $25,147 for the half year to 31[st] December 2011. This is compared to a net loss of $538,330 for the same period in 2010.
31 December 2011 summary-
Sales Total Revenue Net Profit
Total Assets Net Assets
$1,070,245 up 102% to prior year $1,846,448 up 42% to prior year $25, 147 up 2,241% to prior year $13,940,733 up 32% $11,421,893 up 63%
The reported net profit of $25,147 on an EBITDA basis translates to a profit of $389,886 for the half year to 31[st] December 2011. This result was achieved in spite of the negative foreign exchange movement against the US$ impacting on US sales.
Dr Hari Nair, NuSep’s Managing Director added, “This result is a significant improvement to the prior year and the company is also looking at launching a number of new products during the year including the release of an enhanced ProteoIQ”.
Mr John Manusu, NuSep’s Executive Chairman added, “The Company is in the process of finalising funding for the PrIME Biologics operations in Singapore”.

NuSep Holdings Ltd and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial statements For the half-year ended 31 December 2011
1. Basis of preparation
The half-year consolidated financial statements are a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of NuSep Holdings Ltd and its controlled entities (the Group). As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year within the Group. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2011, together with any public announcements made during the half-year.
The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements except for the adoption of the following new and revised Accounting Standards.
Accounting Policies
a) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by NuSep Holdings Ltd as at 31 December 2011 and the results of all controlled entities for the period then ended. NuSep Holdings Ltd and its controlled entities together are referred to in this financial report as the Group.
A controlled entity is any entity over which NuSep Holdings Ltd has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are considered.
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity.
b) Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As disclosed in the financial statements, the company made a net profit of $25,147 for the half year to 31 December 2011 and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $485,411, net cash outflows from investing activities of $1,550,103 and net cash inflow from financing activities of $2,048,191 for the half year ended 31 December 2011. As at that date the consolidated entity had net current assets of $1,040,588. The ability of the company and consolidated entity to continue as going concerns is dependent on a combination of a number of factors the most significant of which is the ability of the company to recover the $1,893,404 unpaid share capital and/or to raise additional capital in the following 12 months and/or the ability of the company to achieve its projected cash collections for the 2012 financial year. These factors indicate significant uncertainty as to whether the company and consolidated entity will continue as going concerns and therefore whether they will realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
8
NuSep Holdings Ltd and its Controlled Entities Notes to Financial statements For the half-year ended 31 December 2011
The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the company and consolidated entity will be able to continue as going concerns, after consideration of the following factors:
-
The company has raised $4.8m as proceeds from issue of shares since 1 July 2010 including $2.3m raised during the half year to 31 December 2011.
-
A shareholder exercised 12,622,691 15¢ share options in November 2011. As disclosed in the directors’ report and Note 1 (c), $1,843,404 is yet to be received for the issue of these shares. The directors expect the funds will be received by 31 March 2012.
-
$1m Singapore Economic Development Board loan facility.
-
Management has reviewed the company and consolidated entity’s cashflow requirements and has satisfied themselves that there are adequate resources in place to meet the planned operational and development activities for at least 12 months following the date of this report.
Accordingly, the Directors believe that the company and consolidated entity will be able to continue as going concerns and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report.
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the company and consolidated entity do not continue as going concerns.
c) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group.
Key Estimates
Impairment of Intangible Assets
The group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions and events specific to the group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.
With respect to cashflow projections for Intangible Assets, growth rates of 30-40% have been factored into valuation models for the next five years on the basis of management’s expectations around the Group’s continued ability to capture market share from competitors and open new markets for its products. Impairment testing was carried out for the 30 June 2011 financial year end resulting in impairment losses of $6,055,873. Actual results to December 2011 are lower than those used in those projections in the impairment testing at 30 June 2011. The directors have not considered it necessary to change their projections or assumptions used, and no further impairment testing was undertaken for the half-year ended 31 December 2011.
Recoverability of Other Receivables
On 25 November 2011 a shareholder exercised 12,622,691 15¢ share options expiring on 31 March 2011. On the date of exercise the shareholder provided a copy of a cheque payable to the company for USD$1,701,403.65 to settle this transaction. The shareholder Mr Goh was to hand deliver the original cheque to the company on 30 November 2011.
On 30 November 2011 the company did not receive the cheque payment and commenced negotiating with Mr Goh for the payment of the debt. The company has a promissory note for the outstanding debt of $1,843,404. The promissory note is due on 31 March 2012. At the date of this report $50,000 of this debt had been paid. The Directors expect settlement of the debt by 31

March 2012 and if not settled will commence recovery proceedings. At 31 December 2011 this is reflected as other receivables in the Statement of Financial Position.
As stated in the company’s 30 June 2011 financial statements, a claim has been filed against NxGen Pharmaceuticals Pty Limited under the terms of the Implementation Deed dated 28 November 2008 for the costs related to the NxGen acquisition by NuSep. Management continues to rely on expert advice as to the ability of the recovery of this claim.

5. Research & Development Expenses
Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project will deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably. Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
NUSEP HOLDINGS LTD
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We were engaged to review the accompanying half-year financial report of NuSep Holdings Ltd which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on conducting the review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Because of the matters described in the Bases for Disclaimer of Conclusion paragraphs, however, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to provide a basis for a review conclusion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of NuSep Holdings Ltd, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report .

Bases for Disclaimer of Conclusion
Intangible Assets
Included in Note 6, Intangible Assets, in the Statement of Financial Position are finite-life intangible assets carried at amortised cost of $7,885,945. The economic performance of these assets to date has been worse than expected. Under these conditions, which are an indicator of impairment, AASB 136 Impairment of Assets requires impairment testing to be performed, to determine whether any impairment loss has been incurred. The ability of the consolidated entity to successfully develop these assets and realise their value is contingent on future events, the outcome of which, at the date of this report, cannot presently be determined. These contingencies indicate the existence of a material uncertainty, which may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to realise the value of these assets. An impairment test has not been performed by management, which is a departure from Australian Accounting Standards.
Also included in Note 6, Intangible Assets in the Statement of Financial Position are $894,490 of capitalised development costs in respect of finite life intangible assets for Prime Biologics Pte Limited incorporated in Singapore. Included in these capitalised costs is material expenditure that does not meet the definition development costs under AASB138 Intangible Assets and, accordingly should have been recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income in the period under review. Management has not provided satisfactory explanations in respect of all of the capitalised expenditure, nor has it quantified the value of the capitalised costs that should have been expensed.
As a result of these factors we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate review evidence to support the carrying value of a total $8,780,435 reflected as an intangible asset at 31 December 2011. Had we been able to complete our review in respect of the intangible assets, matters might have come to our attention indicating that adjustments might be necessary to these amounts to the half-year financial report.
Recoverability of Other Receivables
We draw attention to Note 1(c), Note 4, and Note 6 in the financial report, which indicate that other receivables includes $1,893,404 in respect of 12,622,691 shares that were issued at $0.15¢ on 25 November 2011, the payment for which was still outstanding as at 31 December 2011, and remains substantially outstanding at the date of this report which may indicate significant uncertainty as to the recoverability of this asset Further information in respect of this transaction, and managements judgement in this regard is provided in note 1 (c) of the half-year report.
Significant Uncertainty Regarding Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1(a) in the financial report, which indicates that the consolidated entity made a net profit of $25,147 for the half year to 31 December 2011 and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $485,411, net cash outflows from investing activities of $1,550,103 and net cash inflow from financing activities of $2,048,191 for the half year ended 31 December 2011. As at that date the consolidated entity had net current assets of $1,040,588. The ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern is dependent on a combination of a number of factors the most significant of which is the ability of the consolidated entity to recover the $1,893,404 unpaid share capital and/or to raise additional capital in the following 12 months and/or the ability of the consolidated entity to achieve its projected cash collections for the 2012 financial year.
These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(a), indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Disclaimer of Conclusion
Because of the significance of the matters described in the Bases for Disclaimer of Conclusion paragraphs, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to provide a basis for a review conclusion. Accordingly, we do not express a conclusion as whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half-year financial report of NuSep Holdings Ltd is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2011 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
