DIRECTORS’ REVIEW OF THE PRELIMINARY FINAL REPORT

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Review of financial condition

The consolidated entity produced a net loss after taxation, attributable to the owners of Novogen Limited of $1,030,852 (2012: profit of $1,309,071).

Net Tangible Assets of the consolidated entity as at 30 June 2013 were $1,510,480 (2012: $5,113,071), or 1.09 cents per share (2012: 4.93 cents).

Review of principal business

Since its inception in 1994, the principal business of Novogen has been pharmaceutical drug development. By the beginning of the current reporting period (1 July 2012), Novogen had ceased this or any other business. The previous Novogen Board had divested the company of all intellectual property in this area and of any resources and personnel relevant to R&D. The pharmaceutical drug development business was restored on 5 December 2012 with the acquisition of private biotechnology company, Triaxial Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd.

That acquisition brought to the company a novel drug design and manufacture technology platform focused on the development of anti-cancer drugs known as super-benzopyrans and which attack the bio-energetic mechanism within cancer cells.

The company has identified a lead drug candidate, Trilexium, that currently is undergoing pre-clinical studies with a view to being in the clinic in the first half of 2014. Work is proceeding to identify a range of related drugs with similar principal action but directed at different cancer genotypes.

The stated goal of the company is to provide the technology and drugs capable of covering a wide range of different cancer cell genotypes and phenotypes that will permit the optimisation of chemotherapy on an individual basis. The company’s R&D efforts are directed towards this goal.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

On 4 July 2013, the company announced that it had put in place a funding arrangement with a sophisticated US-based institutional investor, providing it with up to $5 million of working capital over the next three years.

There were no other significant matters subsequent to the end of the financial year.

Capital risk management

The consolidated entity’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The capital structure of the consolidated entity consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders. Operating globally, the consolidated entity develops specialty pharmaceutical products. The overall strategy of the consolidated entity is to continue its drug development programs, which depends on selling assets and raising additional equity.

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 30 June 2012 Annual Report.

Note 12. Contingent liabilities

As a condition of establishing bank facilities Novogen Limited and its subsidiaries, Novogen Laboratories Pty Ltd and Novogen Research Pty Ltd have entered into a Guarantee and Indemnity with St George Bank in January 1997. The effect of the guarantee is to guarantee amounts owed to the bank by any of the above Novogen companies.

Although the consolidated entity assigned its liability for the property lease at 140 Wicks Road, North Ryde NSW 2113, 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.

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, APOtrend. The consolidated entity has provided a guarantee to the value of €250,000 ($325,299) with the court to confirm its commitment to the ongoing enforcement process. The receivable balance is currently classified as ‘deposits held’ within the trade and other receivables category of the statement of financial position.
