Interim Report - 31 December 2014


Novogen Limited
Directors’ report
31 December 2014

The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the ‘consolidated entity’) consisting of Novogen Limited (referred to hereafter as the ‘company’ or ‘parent entity’) and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 31 December 2014.

Directors

The following persons were directors of Novogen Limited during the whole of the financial half-year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:

Prof. Graham E Kelly

Steven Coffey

John O’Connor

Dr Peter Gunning

Iain Ross (resigned on 20 November 2014)

Principal activities

During the financial half-year the principal continuing activity of the consolidated entity consisted of drug discovery. The consolidated entity is a biotechnology company engaged in the development of novel therapeutics across a wide range of human diseases and disorders.

Review of operations

The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax and non-controlling interest amounted to $2,247,407 (31 December 2013: $3,055,263).

The operations of the consolidated entity revolve around two technology platforms that are proprietary to the consolidated entity and which are being investigated as sources of novel therapeutics for a range of degenerative diseases.

The key points of progress made in the last half-year are:

•

Identification of the 4 lead anti-cancer drug candidates

•

Confirmation that the consolidated entity has the basis of a regenerative medicine program

1. Super-benzopyran (SBP) drug technology

1.1 Oncology

The consolidated entity identified by the end of 2014 its 3 lead anti-cancer SBP drug candidates. The underlying principal of this program of drug discovery is the ability to kill the full hierarchy of cells within a tumor, including the cancer stem cells and the cancer progenitor cells.

The three lead candidates are: TRXE-002, TRXE-009 and TRXE-0025.

TRXE-002 is the active ingredient in Cantrixil, a construct designed to be injected into body cavities such as the peritoneal cavity and the pleural cavities. The last 6 months saw Cantrixil commence its formal pre-clinical work-up ahead of entering the clinic in 2015. Both large-scale manufacturing and animal toxicology study contracts were entered into. The decision was made to target malignant ascites in the first-in-man study. Two Australian hospitals were selected as study sites and the supervising Investigators appointed.

TRXE-009 was confirmed as having strong anti-cancer activity against the paediatric cancers, medulloblastoma, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma and neuroblastoma, adding to the known potency against glioblastoma cells, and confirming a preferential activity against neural tumors. Strong activity also was identified against melanoma, leading the consolidated entity to the belief that the action of this drug represented a therapeutic link between tumours of cells with an embryonic lineage extending back to the neural tube and the neural crest. Up until this point, the planned use of TRXE-009 was in both paediatric and adult primary brain cancers; with the revealed activity against melanoma, the consolidated entity made the decision to extend first-in-man studies into malignant melanoma, and metastatic melanoma of the brain in particular.

TRXE-0025 emerged from the consolidated entity’s medicinal chemistry program as a drug with a high preference for prostate cancer cells. This molecule will enter a formal pre-clinical program, in particular to assess its ability to kill prostate cancer stem cells, in 2015.

Directors’ report
31 December 2014

1.2 Degenerative Diseases Program

This program (known as Project Jacob Hope) continued with the aim of identifying SBP compounds with the ability to promote the activity of stem cells with success in a number of exploratory studies. The key progress in this area was the decision to focus on 3 areas:

•

Fascioscapulohumeral Disease (FSHD)

•

Alzheimer’s Disease

•

San Filippo Syndrome

1.3 Regenerative Medicine Program

The purpose of this program is to identify SBP compounds with the ability to promote the growth of stem cells in the brain and spinal cord to repair injury. A significant discovery in this reporting period was the identification of an SBP pharmacophore that promoted in vitro the division of brain stem cells. Animal studies designed to assess the ability of this pharmacophore to promote repair to traumatic injury of the brain will commence in early 2015.

2. Anti-tropomyosin technology

The significant development with this second drug technology platform was the identification of the lead drug candidate – ATM3507 (‘Anisina’). The selection of this lead candidate was based on the three criteria of (i) ease of manufacture, (ii) high on-target specificity, and (iii) ability to synergize the anti-cancer activity of anti-microtubule drugs.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

There were 4 significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial half-year:

1. Successful capital-raising of $1,855,000 (excluding transaction costs) in November 2014 through placement of shares and options to Australian investors;

2. Successful capital-raising of $5,862,600 (excluding transaction costs) in December 2014 through placement of shares and options to US institutional investors;

3. Appointment of Chief Operating Officer (Finance and Administration); and

4. Amendment to the Deed Poll Agreement signed on 5 December 2014, which voided the debt component of the Deed and transferred the liability into equity. It reduced the liability of the company by approximately $1,500,000.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial half-year.

Notes to the financial statements

31 December 2014

Note 1. Significant accounting policies

These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2014 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2014 and any public announcements made by the company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.

New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity during the financial half-year ended 31 December 2014 and are not expected to have any significant impact for the full financial year ending 30 June 2015. Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Note 2. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

The consolidated entity’s operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (being the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’)) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

Following the discontinued operations of the Oncology Drug Program and Wound Healing sectors and the consumer business in the prior year, the consolidated entity now operates in the Drug development business. There are no operating segments for which discrete financial information exists.

The information reported to the CODM, on at least a monthly basis, is the consolidated results as shown in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and statement of financial position.

Convertible loan note - Triaxial		1,716,101		—

On 4 December 2014, the consolidated entity and the convertible note holder (‘Triaxial’) signed a Convertible Note Deed Poll (‘Deed’) which superseded the precedent Loan Agreement between Triaxial shareholders and the consolidated entity. The Deed extinguishes the liability created by the Loan Agreement and allows Triaxial to convert their debt into ordinary shares instead of receiving a cash settlement, providing that the company achieves defined milestones established in the schedule of the Deed. Accordingly the convertible note has been reclassified as an equity instrument rather than debt instrument.

The convertible note may be exercised at the holders discretion as follows:

•

on completion of Phase 1a clinical trials: $400,000 converted into 16,000,000 ordinary shares in the company;

•

on receipt of Investigational New Drug approval from the US Food and Drug Administration $500,000 converted into 20,000,000 ordinary shares in the company; and

•

on completion of Phase II clinical trials: $600,000 converted into 24,000,000 ordinary shares in the company.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 12. Fair value measurement (continued)

The following tables detail the consolidated entity’s assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

Total liabilities		—		—		173,225		173,225

There were no transfers between levels during the financial half-year.

The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

Note 13. Contingent liabilities

The consolidated entity is continuing to prosecute its Intellectual Property (‘IP’) rights and in June 2007 announced that the Vienna Commercial Court had upheld a provisional injunction against an Austrian company, APO trend. The consolidated entity has provided a guarantee to the value of €250,000 ($371,000) with the court to confirm its commitment to the ongoing enforcement process. As at 31 December 2014, the receivable balance has been fully impaired on the basis that it is unlikely to be recovered. The receivable balance and the corresponding provision for impairment are included in trade and other receivables.

On 27 January 2015, the consolidated entity attempted to reach settlement on reasonable terms with APO Trend during a hearing, which was rejected by the latter. The Court will convene another hearing on a date to be confirmed.

Note 14. Events after the reporting period

The company will hold a general meeting on 4 March 2015 in order to pass the following resolutions:

•

approve issue of shares to US investors in order to renew the company’s discretionary placement capacity;

•

approve the issue of options to US investors; and

•

approve the Employee Share Option Plan.

For more details please refer to the Notice of Meeting released on 30 January 2015.

Notes to the financial statements
31 December 2014

Note 14. Events after the reporting period (continued)

On 9 January 2015, 9,266,667 ordinary shares were issued on the part conversion of $695,000 convertible note (tranche 4). This conversion exhausted the whole value that was remaining in tranche 4. Consequently the value remaining for the other tranches was as follows:

•

Tranche 2: $30,000

•

Tranche 3: $300,000

On 16 January 2015 the company announced that it terminated the agreement with HBMF. However the provisions regarding any outstanding amount to convert and the options issued to HBMF (4,000,000 options for ordinary shares, exercisable by 3 July 2016 at $0.1906 per share) survived the termination until, either the full conversion of the remaining value of each tranche or their expiry.

On 10 February 2015, 3,586,957 ordinary shares were issued on the final conversion of $330,000 convertible notes ($30,000 for tranche 2 and $300,000 for tranche 3). This conversion exhausted the remaining value of all tranches, therefore the convertibles notes have expired as of the day of conversion.

Due to the termination of the agreement tranche 5 remains undrawn.

Issue of options to US investors

As part of the capital raising conducted in December 2014, the US investors will be issued 47 million options to acquire ordinary shares at $0.15 per share. The options will be issued in March 2015, pending the approval of the members at a general meeting scheduled 4 March 2015.

Issue of option to H.C. Wainwrights

Following the capital raising in December 2014, H.C. Wainwrights which acted as placement agent, was promised the issue of 1,876,032 options (based on engagement letter signed with Novogen) to acquire ordinary shares at $0.15 per share. The options will be issued in March 2015, pending the approval of the members at a general meeting scheduled 4 March 2015.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2014 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity’s operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity’s state of affairs in future financial years.

Directors’ responsibility for the half-year financial report

The directors of Novogen Limited 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 controls 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.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. Liability is limited in those States where a current scheme applies.

LOGO

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Novogen Limited 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 2014 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.
