!   Hexima has been approached to provide laboratory research services, glasshouse facilities and field trial support for a 4 year field trial with another company −  This is a highly complementary

business for Hexima as it leverages existing resources with relatively low marginal cost

−  The potential exists to expand contract service operations which will generate additional cash flow for the Company and reduce our overall burn rate

!   Hexima is negotiating a funded discovery program for novel insecticidal genes for production of GM crops that are resistant to insect damage

!   The 2012 global market for insect resistant GM plants was worth US$6.5bn, or 43% of the GM seed and trait market

!   Work is expected to commence on the program in Q1 2014. Hexima will be entitled to royalties from all novel insecticidal genes that are discovered during the program and commercialised

!   The program is expected to leverage the value of Hexima’s MGEV technology

Aim:

To produce transgenic plants (corn, soy, wheat) with broad spectrum resistance to fungal pathogens

2012 corn market:

Conservatively valued at US$48bn in the US.

Disease caused US$6bn in crop loss in the US.

Disease causes losses of >US$80bn annually in global food crops.

Worked Example: Potential Disease Control Trait US Corn Corn Price $4.5 / bu Av Yield 380 bu / Ha Value /Ha $1,710 / Ha ******** Disease Loss 10 -12% % Disease Controlled by Trait 50% - 70% Trait Yield Gain ~5% - 8.4% Trait Yield Gain ~19 - 32 bu / Ha Trait Value ~$85.5 - $144 / Ha ******* Cost Charged to Farmer (40% of trait value) $34.2 - $57.5 / Ha

******* Hexima Royalty (15%) $5.1 - $8.6 / Ha Hexima Royalty (30%) $10.3 - $17.2 / Ha ******* US Market Size 32m Ha ******

Potential Peak Royalties 50%-70% disease reduction 30% market share ~$98m - $166m pa 50% market share ~$164m - $276m pa Note: corn price, disease load, % disease controlled, trait market share and royalties are all assumptions for calculation purposes, not forecasts

Progress:

Corn !   Achieved over 70% reduction in

disease severity against 2 major fungal pathogens in glasshouse bioassays with transgenic corn

!   DuPont Pioneer will commence field testing in 2014

!   Exclusivity period for the DuPont Pioneer agreement has ended (August 6th). Negotiations are continuing to extend the partnership and exclusivity period.

Progress:

Soy !   Transgenic plants with our lead antifungal

genes are in glasshouse trials in the USA

!   Improved genes from the corn program will be assessed in soy in 2014

Wheat !   Monsanto is testing two Hexima antifungal

genes in wheat

Aim: !   To develop novel therapeutics for fungal infections of skin and nails

using proprietary fungicidal molecules developed by Hexima Limited

Antifungal Market: !   The market for human antifungal therapies was valued at

$10.2 billion in 2008 !   Of this $10.2 billion, $7.8 billion were over-the-counter (OTC) sales

and $4 billion was for topically applied products !   Fungal nail infections affect 20-25% of the population and >50% of

people over 70 years of age !   Current therapies for fungal nail infections are ineffective and require

long treatment regimes - many have associated liver toxicity

Progress: !   Lead compounds are active against the pathogens that cause fungal

skin and nail infections !   A collaboration agreement is in place with Acrux to combine Hexima’s

molecules with Acrux’s delivery technology !   We are developing formulations to deliver the active molecules

through infected nails !   Proof of concept data expected Q1 2014 !   If positive, funding will be required for the joint commercial

development

Aim: !   To develop novel therapeutics for non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC)

using proprietary anti-cancer molecules developed by Hexima Limited

NMSC Market: !   The total number of NMSC treatments in Australia increased from

412,000 in 1997 to 767,000 in 2010. !   In 2015 NMSC will be the most costly cancer in Australia, with 938,000

treatments expected. The diagnosis, treatment and pathology costs are estimated to be $700 million in 2015

!   The incidence of NMSC is expected to increase substantially in all developed countries
