$2.$ Company overview
$2.1$ Background to the Company
Phylogica was incorporated on 9 October 2001 and is an Australian based drug discovery company.
$2.2$ Phylomer® libraries
Phylogica has discovered and patented a unique proprietary class of targeted peptide therapeutics (Phylomer® peptides). These peptides exhibit competitive therapeutic, manufacturing, and commercial advantages over other more traditional targeted biologics such as proteins, monoclonal antibodies and most current therapeutic peptides. Libraries of billions of Phylomers have been constructed. which constitute the most structurally diverse set of peptides available, resulting in a higher quality and quantity of hits. For example, the hit to target ratios from Phylomer libraries are high and the proportion of hits, which are functional, is also very high, when compared with traditional libraries of random peptides.
The value of Phylomer libraries as a rich source of drug-like peptides is demonstrated by Phylogica's growing list of drug discovery partnerships with large pharmaceutical companies, including Roche, Medimmune/AstraZeneca and Pfizer.
Phylogica has created, and validated potential therapeutic Phylomer drug leads against intracellular and extracellular targets, with high affinities. These peptides can be readily enhanced by focused lead optimisation strategies based on the structural information obtained from the parent proteins from which Phylomers are derived. Phylomers have also been obtained which are capable of transporting large biologics into cells.
Phylogica has also demonstrated in-vivo efficacy for Phylomer peptides in animal models of diseases such as stroke/traumatic brain injury, burns, wound healing and acute respiratory distress syndrome. As these peptides are synthetic, chemical manipulation can enhance their stability, improve their solubility, prolong their in-vivo half-lives and minimise their risks of being immunogenic.
Phylomer peptides are suitable for a wide range of diseases, targeting proteins and their interactions. Phylogica has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Cambridge Enterprises, Cambridge University's commercialisation group, outlining plans to form a spin-off company, Phenomica, to pursue commercial opportunities created by proven use of Phylomer libraries for target discovery and validation.
Phylogica has a strong intellectual property portfolio around its proprietary Phylomer peptide technology with sixteen patent families comprising multiple granted / allowed patents covering international markets, including Europe, the United States, and Australia. Phylogica's patent families cover methods of making the Phylomer peptide libraries, methods of screening them and composition-of-matter claims for the Phylomer libraries themselves and for individual Phylomer peptides discovered for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.
$2.3$ Commercial strategy
Phylogica refocused its strategy in 2009 to achieve revenue growth through discovery alliances by focusing on high-value, revenue-generating fee-for-service partnerships. Based on its existing partnerships and anticipated new revenue streams, the Company is targeting cash sustainability in FY2012. Through its alliance strategy, the Company is also creating long-term value by retaining downstream rights to Phylomer product candidates. In all of its deals. Phylogica is entitled to payments on the achievement by its partners of preclinical and clinical milestones, and also to royalties on sales of Phylomer-derived drugs. Through this strategy, the Company aims to create a diversified portfolio of drug candidates and to minimise its exposure to development setbacks of any individual product.
Secondly, Phylogica is advancing a small number of in-house projects, which require limited investment to add value prior to partnering. Phylogica's in-house drug discovery activities are addressing three disease areas: inflammation, bacterial infections and cancer. In all of these programmes, the Company believes advancement of Phylomer product candidates to the stage of preclinical proof-ofconcept could enable value to be generated in out-licensing agreements.

$\mathbf{4}$ . Risk factors
$4.1$ Introduction
Investors wishing to subscribe for Securities offered by this Prospectus should read this Prospectus in its entirety in order to make an informed assessment of the effect of the issue of Securities on the Company and the rights attaching to the Securities offered by this Prospectus.
Investors should carefully consider whether Securities in the Company are an appropriate investment for them and should appreciate that share prices can fall as well as rise.
Securities offered by this Prospectus should be viewed as speculative and whilst the Directors recommend the Offers, investors should be aware of, and take into account, the risk factors involved.
This Section is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the considerations to be taken into account by investors in deciding whether to subscribe for Securities, nor all of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and actions, but many are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated.
There are risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the share market generally. All investors should consult their professional advisers if they are in any doubt as to any aspect of this Prospectus, the Offers or any matter relating to an investment in the Company.
Company specific risks when the rite and company is the all members $4.2$
The following risks have been identified as being key risks specific to an investment in the Company. These risks have the potential to have a significant adverse impact on the Company and may affect the Company's financial position, prospects and price of its listed Securities.
Technology risks
For the Company to be competitive in the peptide drug discovery market, the Directors expect it will need to continue to develop or acquire new technologies and platforms, develop niche markets and to take early advantage of technological advancements.
While the Directors regard the Company's Phylomer Libraries as being at the forefront of peptide drug discovery, competition and new technologies have the potential to negatively impact market share, product prices, profit margins, and the financial value of products. Further, it may render the Company's research projects and the high costs associated with such research and development obsolete. Outcomes of research and development work will affect the future performance of the Company and its Shares.
Discovery alliance risk
The Company aims to build a sustainable business through drug discovery alliances. This requires a flow of new contracts and/or extensions of existing agreements to grow revenue. While great care will be taken in the alliances that Phylogica commits to, there is a risk that partner selections and performance may not be adequate, resulting in lost time, money and opportunity. Similarly, the Company may not be able to secure new contracts at the rate required or with sufficient near-term contract revenue to meet its revenue goals.
Phylomer therapeutic risks
Drug development is a long and highly regulated process with many identified potential risks. Therapeutics derived from Phylomers are subject to some of these potential risks as described below. While Phylogica is not currently directly engaged in drug development, these risks can indirectly influence the possibility of Phylogica to obtain downstream milestone payments and royalties from peptides it discovers being taken through clinical development and subsequent marketing.
Difficulty could be encountered with absorption, delivery, metabolism, toxicity, stability, delivery or efficacy in animal or human trials. This could result in early termination of a specific drug candidate program. Formulation difficulties such as poor solubility may also be encountered.
Drugs developed from Phylomers may not be suitable for all individuals such as different genetic backgrounds or patients suffering from particular conditions.
Unforeseen interactions with other pharmaceuticals or substances may be encountered.
Phylomers that appear specific at early stages of drug discovery may nonetheless exhibit unforeseen side effects in animal or human trials resulting in early termination of the specific drug candidate program.
Government regulatory bodies are the final arbiters of approval of drugs for market. Applications for approval may not be granted in all instances in all markets.
Research and Development Agreement
Currently all of Phylogica's research and development work is carried out at the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research and is covered by a Research and Development Agreement. In the event that the Research and Development Agreement is terminated, Phylogica's operations could be adversely affected as a consequence of disruption of work and re-locating to new premises.
Research and development
Phylogica can make no representations that any of its research and development will be successful, that the Company's development milestones will be achieved or that the Company will develop products that are commercially exploitable. Prior to commercialisation, projects may be delayed or terminated for a range of unexpected scientific, preclinical, clinical, regulatory or commercial reasons.
Being at the forefront of peptide drug discovery, the Company is entering unchartered territory which may present unforeseen biological complexities. Phylogica may need to develop new technologies to resolve these complexities and to advance its programs.
Intellectual property
Phylogica regards its patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and similar intellectual property as critical to its success. Phylogica relies on patent, trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and duties of confidence and licence agreements with third parties to protect its intellectual property rights. Applications for patents and trademarks may not be granted in particular jurisdictions. Moreover the grant of a patent does not guarantee that the rights of others are not infringed or that competitors will not develop competing intellectual property, nor does it eliminate the risk that such patent rights may be challenged. While the Company will use all reasonable endeavours to protect these rights, the steps that the Company takes to protect its intellectual property rights may be inadequate. The unauthorised use or disclosure of its proprietary technology and systems may have adverse
effects on the operation and financial performance of Phylogica. The Company may incur substantial costs in obtaining or asserting any patents or intellectual property rights and in defending legal action against itself relating to such rights. It is possible that some patent rights could be revoked following such legal action.
No formal valuation has been completed on the intellectual property of the Company. Phylogica makes no representation as to the value of its intellectual property. It is recommended that impending investors and their advisors should make their own assessment as to the value of the Company's intellectual property.
Customers
A significant proportion of Phylogica's potential customers are from, and are subject to risks faced by, the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life sciences industries. Therefore, Phylogica's success depends largely on the success of companies in these industries and their demand for its products.
Competition
The Company will be operating in a competitive and dynamic market, where technological advancements are expected. Although the Board believes that the Company's technology is unique and will be effective in identifying and developing drug candidates, there are competing technologies which will continue to be used and other competitors unknown to the Company may emerge from time to time. The introduction of new competitors or a more successful outcome from existing participants may affect the operating performance of the Company.
Funding
Unless or until the Company is able to expand its fee-for-service activities and thus grow revenue, it will not reach its goal of cash sustainability in FY2012. Phylogica's long-term value requires its partner's and its in-house drug candidates to be successful in development and to reach the market. Otherwise, it may be dependent upon the funds raised by this Offer, existing collaboration agreements, and its ability to obtain future equity or debt funding to support commercialisation of its technology and in-house research and development. The Company's ability to raise further equity or debt or to divest part of its interest in its technology, and the terms of such transactions, will vary according to a number of factors, including the success of research and development results and the future development of the Company's technology and stock market conditions.
Key personnel
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. There can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment. The Company's future ability to recruit and retain highly qualified management personnel will also be critical to its success.
of institutional of them local tollogical or one
Product liability and uninsured risks
Through its intended business, the Company is exposed to potential product liability risks which are inherent in the research and development, manufacturing, marketing and use of its products or products developed with future co-development alliance partners. It will be necessary to secure insurance to help manage such risks. The Company may not be able to maintain insurance for product or service liability on reasonable terms in the future and, in addition, the Company's insurance may not be sufficient to cover large claims, or the insurer could disclaim coverage on claims.
Although the Company endeavours to work to rigorous standards there is still the potential for the products to contain defects which may result in system failures. These defects or problems could result in the loss of or delay in generating revenue, loss of market share, failure to achieve market acceptance, diversion of development resources and injury to the Company's reputation or increased insurance costs.
If the Company falls to meet its clients' expectations, the Company's reputation could suffer and it could be liable for damages.
Further the Company is exposed to the risk of catastrophic loss to necessary laboratory equipment, computer equipment or other facilities which would have a serious impact on Phylogica. The Company gives no assurance that all such risks will be adequately managed through its insurance policies to ensure that catastrophic loss does not have an adverse effect on its performance.
General investment risks
The business activities of the Company are subject to various general economic and investment risks that may impact on the future performance of the Company. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Company and cannot be mitigated. There are a number of general economic and investment risk factors that apply to companies generally and may include economic, financial, market or regulatory conditions. These risk factors include, but are not limited to:
General economic climate
Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuations, interest rates, legislative changes. political decisions and industrial disruption have an impact on operating costs.
The Company's future income, asset values and share price can be affected by these factors and, in particular, by the market price for any services that the Company may sell, automatic process with the process of the of permit
Stock market conditions
The market price of Shares and Options when quoted on the ASX will be influenced by international and domestic factors affecting conditions in equity and financial markets. These factors may affect the prices for the securities companies quoted on the ASX, including Phylogica.
The stock market has in the past and may in the future be affected by a number of matters including:
- market confidence:
- supply and demand for money; and
- currency exchange rates.
Government policy changes
Any material adverse changes in government policies or legislation of any countries in which the Company may operate may affect the viability and profitability of the Company.
Foreign currency and exchange rate fluctuations
Revenue and expenditure of the Company may be domiciled in currencies other than Australian dollars and as such expose the Company to foreign exchange
movements, which may have a positive or negative influence on the Australian dollar equivalent of such revenue and expenditure.
The Company will appropriately monitor and assess such risks and may from time to time implement measures, such as foreign exchange currency hedging, to assist managing these risks. However, the implementation of such measures may not eliminate all such risks and the measures themselves may expose the Company to related risks
International business risks
The majority of Phylogica's customers/potential collaborators are based internationally, mainly in the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, the United States and Japan. There are inherent risks associated with doing business on an international level. Some of those risks can adversely impact Phylogica's business and financial performance and include unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, taxation, tariffs, duties and other trade barriers: foreign exchange controls which restrict or prohibit the repatriation of funds; technology export or import restrictions or prohibitions and longer payment cycles and problems in collecting accounts receivable.
Speculative nature of investment
The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares and Options offered under this Prospectus.
Therefore, the Shares and Options to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Shares and Options.
Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional advisers before deciding whether to apply for Shares and Options in the Company.
