Review of operations

Cash Resources

At 31 December  2012, the Group had total cash of $1.0 million compared to $8.3 million at 30 June 2012.

The  decrease  was  primarily  a  result  of  the  Group  distributing  its  investment  in  MEI  Pharma  Inc  (MEI)  by

way  of  an  in  specie  distribution  during  the  period.  MEI  accounted  for  $6,085,946  of  the  balance  at  30

June 2012.

Revenue and Other income

The  Company  earned  revenues  from  continuing  operations  for  the  six  months  ended  31  December  2012

of $0.6 million compared to $0.8 million for the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to the

decrease in interest earned in cash balances held in deposit accounts.

Other  income  for  the  six  months  ended  31  December  2012  was  $0.6  million  compared  to  $0.7  million  for

the corresponding period last year.

Novogen Limited

Directors report

31 December 2012

Net Profit

The  operating  profit  attributable  to  Novogen  shareholders  for  the  six  months  ended  31  December  2012,

decreased   by   $4.2   million   to   $0.5   million   compared   to   a   profit   of   $4.7   million   in   the   previous

corresponding period. Of this $4.9 million relates to the profit on disposal of MEI Pharma Inc.

Profit  from  discontinued  operations  was  $0.7  million  for  the  six  months  ended  31  December  2012,  as

compared to $4.3 million in the same period last year.

The  net  profit  from  continuing  operations  after  income  tax  for  the  consolidated  Group  for  the  six  months

ended  31  December  2012  increased  by  $0.9  million  to  $0.019  million  from  a  loss  of  $0.9  million  for  the

same period last year.

General  and  administrative  expenses  from  continuing  operations  decreased  by  $1.0  million  from  $2.2

million to $1.2 million for the six months ended 31 December 2012.

Research and Development Activities

For  the  year  up  until  5  December  2012,  the  Group  conducted  no  R&D  activity  other  than  through  its

subsidiary  MEI  Pharma  Inc.  In  that  time,  Novogen  disposed  of  its  interests  in  two  subsidiaries,  Glycotex

Inc (by sale) and MEI Pharma Inc(via in-specie distribution)  in which it held majority ownership and which

conducted any R&D activities.

Glycotex  held  the  intellectual  property originally  developed  by Novogen  in  the  field  of  glucan  therapeutics

in the treatment of trophic ulcers. This company was sold on 27 November 2012.

MEI  Pharma  held  the  intellectual  property  originally  developed  by  Novogen  in  the  field  of  isoflavonoid

drugs.   On   17   November   2012,   shareholders   approved   the   in   specie   distribution   of   Novogens

shareholding in MEI Pharma.

On  5  December  2012  Novogen  acquired  the  biotechnology  company,  Triaxial  Pharmaceuticals  Pty  Ltd

(Triaxial).  Triaxial  had  developed  a  novel  technology  platform  allowing  the  design  and  construction  of  a

novel family of compounds that Triaxial refers to as super-benzopyrans.

The  origins  of  this  technology  lie  in  the  isoflavonoid  drug  development  program  originally  conducted  by

Novogen  from  1994-2011  and  which  subsequently  was  the  subject  of  final  in  specie  distribution  MEI

Pharma.  Triaxial  believed  that  while  highly  promising,  the  original  Novogen  technology  that  allowed  the

design  and  manufacture  of  such  drugs,  was  limited  in  terms  of  the  range  of  different  molecular  structures

that could be built and in the ability of the drugs to access end target tissues such as cancer tissue.

Triaxial  subsequently  developed  a  method  of  greatly  increasing  the  flexibility  of  the  basic  isoflavonoid

molecular  scaffold  to  allow  the  insertion  of  a  much  greater  range  of  chemical  moieties.  The  result  of  this

was  the  ability to  create  compounds  of  far  greater  structural  complexity  than  previously achieved.   These

complex structures have been termed super-benzopyrans by Triaxial.

The  super-benzopyran,  CS-6,  had  been  identified  in  mid-2012  by  Triaxial  as  its  lead  drug  candidate  for

development  as  an  anti-cancer  drug.  In  addition  to  displaying  considerably greater  anti-cancer  potency in

vitro  compared  to  the  family  of  isoflavonoid  drugs  previously  developed  by  Novogen,  CS-6  also  showed

Novogen Limited

Notes to the financial statements

31 December 2012

Note 1. Basis of preparation

This  general  purpose  interim  financial  report,  which  incorporates  the  interim  financial  statements,  for  the

half-year  ended  31  December  2012  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  the

Corporations  Act  2001  and  the  Australian  Accounting  Standard  AASB  134:  Interim  Financial  Reporting.

The  interim  financial  statements  have  also  been  prepared  on  a  historical  cost  basis  with  all  amounts

presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise stated.

It  is  recommended  that  this  interim  financial  report  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  annual  financial  report

for  the  year  ended  30  June  2012  and  any  public  announcements  made  by  Novogen  Limited  and  its

controlled  entities  during  the  half-year  in  accordance  with  the  continuous  disclosure  requirements  arising

under the Corporations Act 2001.  The half-year interim financial report  does not  include full disclosures  of

the type normally included within the annual financial report.

These financial statements were authorised for issued by the board of directors on 28 February 2013.

Reporting Basis and Conventions

The   accounting   policies   and   methods   of   computation   followed   in   this   interim   financial   report   are

consistent  with  those  applied  in  the  annual  report  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2012,  with  the  addition  of

the following accounting policy.

New   and   revised  accounting  standards  applicable  for   the  first   time   to   the   current   half-year

reporting period

The  Group  has  adopted  all  new  and  revised  Australian  Accounting  standards  and  Interpretations  that

became effective for the first time and are relevant to the Group, including:

AASB   2011-9   Amendments   to   Australian   Accounting   Standards      Presentation   of   Items   of   Other

Comprehensive Income which requires entities to group items presented in Other Comprehensive Income

(OCI)  on  the  basis  of  whether  they  are  potentially  reclassifiable  to  profit  or  loss  subsequently,  and

changes  the  title  of  statement  of  comprehensive  income  to  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other

comprehensive income.

The  adoption  of  the  new  and  revised  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  has  had  no

significant  impact  on the Groups  accounting  policies or the amounts reported  during the current half-year

period.  The  adoption  of  AASB  2011-9  has  resulted  in  the  title  of  statement  of  comprehensive  income

being changed to statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current  assets  and  disposal  groups  classified  as  held  for  sale  are  measured  at  the  lower  of  their

carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as

held  for  sale  if  their  carrying  amounts  will  be  recovered  principally  through  a  sale  transaction  rather  than

through  continuing  use.  This  condition  is  regarded  as  met  only  when  the  sale  is  highly  probable  and  the

asset  or  disposal  group  is  available  for  immediate  sale  in  its  present  condition.  Management  must  be

committed to the  sale,  which should be expected to qualify for  recognition  as a completed  sale  within one

year from the date of classification.

In  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income,  income  and  expenses  from  discontinued  operations  are

reported  separately  from  income  and  expenses  from  continuing  operations.  The  resulting  profit  or  loss

(after taxes) is reported separately in the statement of comprehensive income.

Novogen Limited

Notes to the financial statements

31 December 2012

Property, plant and equipment, once classified as held for sale, are not depreciated or amortised.

Business combination

The  Group  applies  the  acquisition  method  in  accounting  for  business  combinations.  The  consideration

transferred  by the  Group  to  obtain  control  of  a  subsidiary  is  calculated  as  the  sum  of  the  acquisition-date

fair  value  of  assets  transferred,  liabilities  incurred  and  the  equity  interests  issued  by  the  Group,  which

includes  the  fair  value  of  any  asset  or  liability  arising  from  a  contingent  consideration  arrangement.

Acquisition  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred.  The  Group  recognises  identifiable  assets  acquired  and

liabilities   assumed   in   a   business   combination   regardless   of   whether   they   have   been   previously

recognised  in  the  acquiree's  financial  statements  prior  to  the  acquisition.  Assets  acquired  and  liabilities

assumed are generally measured at their acquisition-date fair values.

Going concern

The financial statements have been  prepared  on  a  going  concern  basis,  which  contemplates  continuity of

normal activities and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. As

is  often  the  case  with  development  companies,  the  ability  of  the  Company  to  continue  its  development

activities  as  a  going  concern  including  paying  its  debts  when  due,  settling  its  liabilities  and  realising  its

assets  in  the  normal  course  of  business  at  amounts  stated  in  the  accounts,  is  dependent  upon  it  deriving

sufficient cash from investors and sales revenue.

There  is a  risk that  the Companys  capital reserves,  may not be  adequate for  future funding  requirements

and potential future capital raisings may be required.

The  directors  are  of  the  opinion  that  the  above  requirements  will  be  satisfied  and  accordingly  have

prepared  the  financial  statements  on  a  going  concern  basis.  There  is  a  material  uncertainty  whether  the

Group  will  continue  as  a  going  concern  and  therefore  whether  it  will  realise  its  assets  and  extinguish  its

liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

Compound financial instruments

Compound financial instruments issued by the Group comprise convertible notes that can be converted to

share  capital  at  the  option  of  the  holder,  and  the  number  of  shares  does  not  vary  with  changes  in  fair

value. The liability component of a financial instrument is recognised originally at the fair value of  a similar

liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognised initially at the

difference  between  the  fair  value  of  the  compound  financial  instrument  as  a  whole  and  the  fair  value  of

the  liability  component.  Any  directly  attributable  transaction  costs  are  allocated  to  the  liability  and  equity

components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  the  liability  component  of  a  compound  financial  instrument  is  measured

at  amortised cost  using  the  effective interest rate method.  The equity component of  a compound financial

instrument is not remeasured subsequent to initial recognition.

Interest,  losses  and  gains  relating  to  the  financial  liability  are  recognised  in  the  profit  or  loss.  On

conversion, the financial liability is reclassified to equity; no gain or loss is recognised on conversion.

Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies

In the process of applying the Groups accounting policies management has made judgements.

Novogen Limited

Notes to the financial statements

31 December 2012

Discontinued operations

Management  has  made  a  judgement  that  the  disposal  of  its  interest  in  Glycotex  Inc  is  not  subject  to

classification  as  a  discontinued  operation,  due  to  the  size  and  nature  of  the  interest.  AASB  5  was

considered  and  it  was  not  assessed  as  a  major  line  of  business,  with  significant  cash  generating  units,

nor a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

Acquired intangible assets

Acquired   intangibles   in   a   business   combination   qualify   for   separate   recognition   are   recognised   as

intangible assets at their fair values. The asset  will be amortised over  its useful life of five years beginning

in the month of acquisition.

Tax

Gains on disposal of subsidiaries during the period gave rise to capital gain tax events. However

management has applied tax concessions, and with the existence of prior period losses has assessed

there to be no income tax expense on the transactions for the period.

Note 3. Contingent assets and liabilities

Guarantees

(a) The Company is continuing to prosecute its IP rights and in June 2007 announced that the Vienna

Commercial Court had upheld a provisional injunction against an Austrian company, APOtrend. The

Company has provided a guarantee to the value of 250,000 with the court to confirm its

commitment to the ongoing enforcement process.

(b)  Although  the  Company  assigned  its  liability  for  the  property  lease  in  June  2012,  it  remains  as  the

original  lessee  and  should  the  assignee  default  on  the  lease,  a  potential  liability  may exist.  Offsetting  this

contingent  liability  the  Company  holds  a  letter  of  personal  guarantee  from  the  director  of  the  assignee

company,  which  guarantees  the  obligations  of  the  assignee  company  contained  or  implied  in  the  original

lease.

There  have  been  no  other  changes  in  contingent  assets  or  contingent  liabilities  since  the  end  of  the

previous annual reporting period, 30 June 2012.

Note 4. Operating segments

Identification of reportable segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used

by  the  executive  management  team  (the  chief  operating  decision  makers)  in  assessing  performance  and

in determining the allocation of resources.

The   operating   segments   indentified   by   management   are   based   on   the   specific   area   of   targeted

therapeutic treatment or the individual market in which products are sold.

The Group has identified four unique segments as follows:

1    Drug  Development  -  includes  the  discovery  of  new  compounds  and  the  early  stage  screening  for

bioactivity of such compounds through both in vivo and in vitro testing.

2    Oncology  Drug  Program  (Disposed  in  November  2012  via  an  in  specie  distrubution)  involves  the

development  of  selected  oncology  drug  candidates  which  have  indicated  potential  bioactivity  against

cancer cells through clinical trial programs to assess safety and efficacy.

3    Consumer  Business  (Sold  August  2011)  -  a  dietary  supplement  business  based  on  red  clover

isoflavones which are marketed and soldworld-wide.

4    Wound  Healing  (Disposed  in  November  2012)    a  separate  and  unique  technology  based  on  Beta-1

Glucan to aid in the management of wounds.

The  accounting  policies  used  by  the  Group  in  reporting  segments  internally  are  consistent  with  those

applied   to   the   consolidated   year-end,   annual   financial   statements   as   contained   in   Note   1   there

to.Corporate   costs   have   been   allocated   between   segments   and   are   therefore   included   in   the   net

profit/(loss) for each segment.
