Key Financials
BioMedica has grown into a high-growth, sustainable, and profitable business in the two decades since its formation in 1987. BioMedica has increased annual sales turnover by ****** over this period has been driven by improved sales and marketing efforts for existing radiopharmaceutical products and services, as well as a growing contribution from BioGenomica’s high-growth, high-margin, genetic testing business. This business is expected to contribute ****** of revenue in 2009.
Projected 2009 Sales & EBIT (without Onalta™)
BioMedica forecasts ****** in 2009 sales delivering an estimated EBIT of ******.
Current Debt Structure
| • | | Long-term debt of ****** loan to complete construction of BioMedica’s new headquarters in Athens, Greece |
| • | | Short-term debt of ****** to “factor” payables: owed to banks unconditionally backed by receivables from the Government of Greece(see cash flow) |
Cash Position
On July 27, 2009 BioMedica had ****** in cash & cash equivalents with an additional ****** in available credit.
Cash Flow
The Government of Greece is the sole payer of healthcare product and service reimbursements in Greece. It is an accepted, albeit burdensome, cost of doing business in the Greek healthcare sector that providers of products and services are required to factor receivables from the Government of Greece through banks at an historic rate of approximately 5%-6% per annum.
This arrangement creates an apparent negative cash flow according to GAAP accounting principles since receivables are all factored under this arrangement which appears in financial statements as short term debt.

| • | | BioMedica will price Onalta™ at ***** per dose in all sublicensed territories, aligning Onalta™ pricing in Europe reasonably in line with MIP’s suggested price of ***** per dose |
| • | | Market penetration assumptions are based on the following parameters |
| • | | Population distribution and probabilities to access market at suggested price per dose price |
| • | | Market penetrations based on social and economic criteria |

Plan for ON-C301 (Phase 3)
Study Title.A Phase 3 randomized, controlled, open label, multi-center study evaluating the efficacy of90Y-edotreotide administered by intravenous infusion to adults with metastatic, progressive somatostatin-receptor positive carcinoid tumors versus Octreotide acetate (Sandostatin LAR®)
ON-C301 is a two-arm, randomized, controlled, open label, multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of90Y-edotreotide versus octreotide acetate (Sandostatin LAR®) in subjects with metastatic, progressive, somatostatin-receptor positive carcinoid cancer. The proposed study is composed of a screening period followed by randomization into one of two arms: Either (three cycles of90Y-edotreotide given approximately eight weeks apart) or octreotide acetate (40 mg, intramuscularly (i.m.), depot formulation; Sandostatin LAR®). Subject follow up will continue until documented disease progression, start of an alternative therapy or 36 months post enrollment. Subjects will be assessed for tumor burden every other month for the first six months of the study. Thereafter, responding or stable subjects will be assessed every four months (16 weeks) until documented disease progression or 36 months post enrollment. If a subject randomized to the octreotide acetate (Sandostatin LAR®) arm experiences progressive disease, based on RECIST criteria and confirmed by blinded independent readers, they may receive three cycles of90Y-edotreotide given approximately eight weeks apart following the procedures stipulated in this protocol. Progression-free survival will be assessed via measurement of tumor response (determined via RECIST criteria). Secondary efficacy assessments include overall survival, overall tumor response, change of biomarkers, quality of life assessed with EORTC QLQ-C30 and GI.NET21 and safety of the treatment regimens.
The primary endpoint is the improvement in the period of progression free survival observed in patients receiving90Y-edotreotide or Octreotide acetate (Sandostatin LAR®). Approximately 194 subjects will receive90Y-edotreotide or Octreotide acetate (Sandostatin LAR®). At enrollment, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either investigational drug or control. Only subjects determined to be eligible will be randomized. There is no blinding for this study. The sample size estimate assumes a hazard ratio of 0.625 with 90% power to detect a 37.5% effect size.

Where the Products are to be delivered in instalments, without prejudice toClause 6.2, each instalment shall constitute a separate Contract and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to IDIS, failure by the Manufacturer to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall entitle IDIS to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated and terminate the Contract as a whole immediately.
The Manufacturer shall:
fax to IDIS at its Fax Address a copy of the delivery note for each delivery or instalment on the day of delivery and supply a copy of the delivery note with the delivered Products;

Rejection
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, acceptance of Products shall not occur until IDIS or its agent or representative has been given a reasonable time to inspect the Products for compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement following delivery or, if later, within a reasonable time after any latent defect in any of the Products has become apparent; provided that latent defect has become apparent before the expiry of the warranty period set out inClause 13.1.
In the event of a breach of the Manufacturer’s warranties inClauses 13.1 or13.2, or where IDIS becomes aware of a defect or latent defect pursuant toClause 8.1, IDIS may, within a reasonable time of becoming aware of such breach or defect, reject such Products by notice to the Manufacturer specifying the nature and quantity of the defective Products. Within 30 (thirty) days of receipt of such notice the Manufacturer, shall, collect the defective Products from IDIS at the Manufacturer’s expense (including, without limitation, costs of carriage, insurance, export/import duties), and:
where such Products have not yet been distributed by IDIS, replace the defective Products with Products that meet the warranties inClauses 13.1 and13.2at its own expense; or
where such Products have been distributed by IDIS, as the case may be, deduct the relevant amount from the invoice to be raised for such distribution or credit to IDIS’s account the purchase price invoiced and any applicable value added or other sales tax (where these have been paid) for such defective Products plus costs of carriage, insurance and other fees incurred by IDIS (including, without limitation, export/import duties) plus such amounts equal to the profit IDIS would have made on those Products.
Where the Manufacturer fails to collect defective Products pursuant toClause 8.2 within 14 (fourteen) days, IDIS may store defective Products on its premises or with a third party at the Manufacture’s risk and expense. Where the Manufacturer fails to collect defective Products pursuant toClause 8.2 within 30 (thirty) days IDIS may destroy the defective Products with the consent of the Manufacturer.
Payment

Upon receipt of a monthly sales report the Manufacturer may invoice IDIS within 90 (ninety) days for the Price of the Products sold by IDIS as stated in the sales report.
Upon delivery of a monthly sales report IDIS may invoice the Manufacturer at any time for the monthly service fee and variable service fee as stated in the sales report. The amount due for both service fees shall be paid by the Manufacturer to IDIS within 30 (thirty) days from the date of the invoice.
Unless otherwise agreed, undisputed invoices shall be paid within 90 (ninety) days of the date of the Manufacturer’s invoice (in the currency stated on the Manufacturer’s invoice) by transfer to such bank account as the Manufacturer may from time to time notify in writing to IDIS.
If an invoice is disputed by IDIS, IDIS shall pay the undisputed amount in accordance withClause 9.4 and the parties shall attempt to settle the disputed part of that invoice in accordance withClause 22.

EXHIBIT C
FORMULAIC DISTRIBUTION OF CONTIGENT MILESTONE PAYMENT
CALCULATIONS
The apportionment of the payments, should they become due, will be as follows:
Milestone payment A (5.4.3.1): Proportionately paid by all companies contributing to the generation of ***** in annual revenue. If only one company has generated revenue then the entire ***** will be due from that company. If two or more companies have generated the revenue then the payment will be divided in direct proportion to the revenues generated by that company, in that year.
EXAMPLE: Company A generates ***** revenue and Company B generates ***** revenue.
Milestone payment due from Company A: *****
Milestone payment due from Company B: *****
Milestone payment B (5.4.3.2): Proportionately paid by all companies contributing to the generation of ***** in revenue. If only one company has generated revenue then the entire ***** will be due from that company. If two or more companies have generated the revenue then the payment will be divided in direct proportion to the revenues generated by that company, in that year.
EXAMPLE: Company A generated ***** revenue and Company B generated ***** revenue, Company C *****
Payment due from Company A: *****
Payment due from Company B: *****
Payment due from Company C: *****
Since Company C did not participate in the payment of Milestone Payment (A) it will be required to contribute funds back to Companies A & B to compensate them for their initial development of the market, thus enabling the growth to *****. The amount that will be contributed is equal to the proportion generated by Company C in generating ***** multiplied by Milestone (A).
Total required payment to Companies A & B from Company C: *****
* Confidential Treatment Requested *
- 1 -
Distribution of Payment from Company C will be in the same proportion that Milestone Payment (A) was paid.
Funds paid to Company A: *****
Funds paid to Company B: *****
Milestone payment C (5.4.3.3): Proportionately paid by all companies contributing to the generation of ***** in revenue. If only one company has generated revenue then the entire ***** will be due from that company. If two or more companies have generated the revenue then the payment will be divided in direct proportion to the revenues generated by that company, in that year.
EXAMPLE 1: Company A generated ***** revenue and Company B generated ***** revenue, Company C *****
Payment due from Company A: *****
Payment due from Company B: *****
Payment due from Company C: *****
Since all three companies have paid for both Milestone (A) and Milestone (B) no further payment would be due in this example.
EXAMPLE 2: If a fourth company had contributed to the achievement of the milestone, it would be required to make a market development payment to the other three companies for its share of both Milestone (A) and Milestone (B). The methodology for determining the payment due, for each milestone, would be the same as that employed in the Milestone (B) example. The methodology for distribution of the payment would be as follows:
Milestone (A) Distribution
To Company A :*****
To Company B: *****
To Company C: *****
Milestone (B) Distribution
To Company A: *****
To Company B: *****
To Company C: *****
