PROXY STATEMENT

This Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the Board of Directors of Marshall Edwards, Inc. (the “Company”) to be used at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Wednesday, December 19, 2007, and at any adjournment thereof (the “Annual Meeting”), for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting. The Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 accompanies this Proxy Statement. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials are expected to be first sent or given to stockholders of the Company on or about October 25, 2007.

The close of business on October 23, 2007 has been fixed as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Only holders of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.00000002 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) as of the Record Date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share on each matter presented to the stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 68,854,938 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

Execution of a proxy by a stockholder will not affect such stockholder’s right to attend the Annual Meeting and to vote in person. Any stockholder who executes a proxy has a right to revoke it at any time before it is voted by advising David R. Seaton, Secretary of the Company, in writing of such revocation, by executing a later-dated proxy which is presented to the Company at or prior to the Annual Meeting or by appearing at the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy. Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a bank, broker or other agent and you wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a proxy issued in your name from that record holder.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of one-third of the shares of the Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum. Assuming a quorum is met, each nominee for director who receives a plurality of the votes cast by holders of the shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date voting in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be elected as a director. The proposal to ratify the appointment of BDO Kendalls (NSW) (“BDO”) as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 will require approval by the majority of the votes cast by the holders of the shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date voting in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

With regard to the election of directors, votes may be cast in favor or withheld. Votes that are withheld and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but will have no effect on the election of directors. You may vote either for or against or abstain from voting on the proposal to ratify the selection of BDO as the Company’s independent auditors. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted for the purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but will have no effect on the ratification of BDO as the Company’s independent auditors.

UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE, THE PROXIES WILL BE VOTED (I) FOR THE ELECTION OF TWO OF THE NOMINEES TO SERVE AS DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY UNTIL THE ANNUAL MEETING IN 2010 AND UNTIL THEIR SUCCESSORS ARE DULY ELECTED AND QUALIFIED AND ONE OF THE NOMINEES TO SERVE AS DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY UNTIL THE ANNUAL MEETING IN 2008 AND UNTIL HIS SUCCESSOR IS DULY ELECTED AND QUALIFIED AND (II) FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF BDO AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. IN THE DISCRETION OF THE PROXY HOLDERS, THE PROXIES WILL ALSO BE VOTED FOR OR AGAINST SUCH OTHER MATTERS AS MAY PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE ANNUAL MEETING. MANAGEMENT IS NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER MATTERS TO BE PRESENTED FOR ACTION AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.

The number of directors on the Board of Directors is currently fixed at six. Also, under the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, the Company’s Board of Directors is divided into three classes, with the classes serving three-year staggered terms. Each class contains one-third (or if that number is not a whole number, the whole number nearest one-third) of the directors, with members of each class holding office for a three-year term. Currently there is one director whose term expires in 2008, two directors whose terms expire in 2009 and three directors whose terms will expire at the Annual Meeting in 2007. In order to provide that each class contains the whole number nearest one-third of the board of directors, Mr. William Rueckert, who was appointed to the Board of Directors in March 2007 and term expires at the Annual Meeting in 2007, is nominated to serve in the class of directors whose term expires in 2008.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of one-third of the shares of the Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum. Assuming a quorum is met, each nominee for director who receives a plurality of the votes cast by holders of the shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date voting in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be elected as a director. Votes may be cast in favor or withheld. Votes that are withheld and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but will have no effect on the election of directors.

Retirement of Director

Dr. Graham Kelly, whose term as a member of the Board of Directors would otherwise have expired at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, retired as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors in May 2007.

Information About the Board of Directors and its Committees

The Board of Directors has responsibility for the overall corporate governance of the Company.

Three of the six members of the Board of Directors are also currently directors of Novogen. The Company is a “controlled company” within the meaning given to that term by the NASDAQ Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) because Novogen owns more than 50% of the Company’s voting power. As a controlled company, the Company is exempt from the requirement that the Company’s Board of Directors be composed of a majority of independent directors, however, a majority of the members of the Board of Directors are independent in accordance with Nasdaq requirements.

The Board of Directors held a total of 13 meetings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Each incumbent director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the total number of meetings held by the committees of the Board of Directors on which each incumbent director served, in each case during the periods in which he served. In addition to regularly scheduled meetings, the directors discharge their responsibility through telephone and other communications with each other and with the executive officers. As required under Nasdaq listing standards, the independent directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only independent directors are present, in conjunction with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of

Directors. All of the directors are expected to attend the 2007 Annual Stockholders Meeting. All of the Company’s six directors attended the 2006 Annual Stockholders Meeting.

The Board has established an Audit Committee to oversee the Company’s financial matters and a Remuneration Committee to review the performance of executive directors and their remuneration.

Audit Committee

The Audit committee of the Board of Directors has been established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing financial and accounting activities. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities include the annual appointment of independent auditors and the review of the scope of audit and non-audit assignments and related fees, the accounting principles used in financial reporting, internal auditing and the Company’s internal control procedures. The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Stephen Breckenridge (chairman), Mr. Philip Johnston, Professor Bryan Williams and Professor Paul John Nestel, all of whom are independent as defined by applicable Nasdaq and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. The Board of Directors has also determined that Mr. Stephen Breckenridge is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules. The Company has adopted a written audit committee charter which is attached hereto as Appendix A.

The Audit Committee held 5 meetings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee generally reviews the performance of the executive directors and sets their remuneration. The Remuneration Committee also has the power to make recommendations to the full Board of Directors concerning the allocation of share options to directors and employees. The remuneration and terms of appointment of non-executive directors is set by the Board of Directors. The Remuneration Committee does not have a charter. The members of the Remuneration Committee are Mr. Philip Johnston, Professor Bryan Williams, Mr. Stephen Breckenridge and Professor Paul John Nestel.

Because the Company has no employees and no remuneration was paid directly to the Chief Executive Officer or to any of the other executive officers of the Company, there were no meetings of the Remuneration Committee held during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

Nominating Committee

As a “controlled company”, the Company is not subject to the Nasdaq rules requiring (i) Board of Director nominations to be selected, or recommended for the Board’s selection, by either a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on the Board of Directors and (ii) each Nasdaq-listed company to have a formal written charter or resolutions by the Board of Directors addressing the nominating process. Accordingly, during the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company did not have a separately established Nominating Committee. The Board of Directors does not believe that any marked efficiencies or enhancements would be achieved by the creation of a separate Nominating Committee.

The duties and responsibilities typically delegated to a nominating committee are included in the responsibilities of the entire Board of Directors. The Board of Directors identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board of Directors willing to continue in service. If any member of the Board of Directors does not wish to continue in service or if the Board of Directors decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the Board will consider all qualified director candidates identified by members of the Board, by senior management and stockholders. Stockholders who would like to propose an independent director candidate for consideration by the Board of Directors may do so by submitting the candidate’s name, résumé and biographical information to the attention of David R. Seaton, Secretary, Marshall Edwards, Inc., 140 Wicks Road, North Ryde, New South Wales, 2113, Australia, no later than the deadline for submission of stockholder proposals set forth under the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Stockholder Proposals for the 2008 Annual Meeting”. All proposals for nomination received by the Secretary of the Company will be presented to the Board of Directors for consideration.

The Board of Directors reviews each director candidate’s biographical information and assesses each candidate’s independence, skills and expertise based on a variety of factors, including the following criteria:


	•	Whether the candidate has exhibited behavior that indicates he or she is committed to the highest ethical standards.

	•	Whether the candidate has had broad business, governmental, non-profit or professional experience that indicates that the candidate will be able to make a significant and immediate contribution to the Board of Directors’ discussion and decision-making.

	•	Whether the candidate will be able to devote sufficient time and energy to the performance of his or her duties as a director.

Application of these factors requires the exercise of judgment by members of the Board of Directors and cannot be measured in a quantitative way.

Director Independence

The Company’s Board of Directors has determined the independence of each director and nominee for election as a director in accordance with the elements of independence set forth in the Nasdaq listing standards. Based upon information solicited from each nominee, the Company’s Board of Directors has determined that each of Mr. Philip Johnston, Professor Paul John Nestel, Mr. William D. Rueckert, Mr. Stephen Breckenridge and Professor Bryan Williams have no material relationship with the Company and are “independent” within the meaning of Nasdaq’s director independence standards, Audit Committee independence standards and Remuneration Committee independence standards, as currently in effect. Christopher Naughton, as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is not considered independent in accordance with Nasdaq’s requirements. Dr. Graham Kelly, who served as the Company executive Chairman of the Board of Directors from 2000 until November 2006, was not considered independent during his tenure in accordance with Nasdaq’s requirements.

Communications with the Board of Directors

The Company’s stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors, including non-executive directors or officers, by sending written communications addressed to such person or persons in care of Marshall Edwards, Inc., 140 Wicks Road, North Ryde NSW 2113, Australia. All communications will be compiled by the Secretary and submitted to the addressee. If the Board of Directors modifies this process, the revised process will be posted on the Company’s website.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have selected BDO Kendalls (NSW) (“BDO”) as independent auditors to audit the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. The Board of Directors is submitting the appointment of BDO to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice.

The ratification of the appointment of BDO as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 will require approval by the majority of the votes cast by the holders of the shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date voting in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders may vote either for or against or abstain from voting on the proposal to ratify the selection of BDO as the Company’s independent auditors. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted for the purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but will have no effect on the ratification of BDO as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

In the event that the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider its selection of audit firms, but may decide not to change its selection. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee may appoint different independent auditors at any time if it determines that such a change would be in the Company’s stockholders’ best interest.

Representatives of BDO are not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting.

BDO served as the Company’s independent accountants to audit the Company’s fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005.

THE AUDIT COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF BDO TO ACT AS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2008.

COMPENSATION AND OTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING OFFICERS, DIRECTORS
AND CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

At the present time, the services of Christopher Naughton, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and David R. Seaton, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, are provided to the Company by Novogen pursuant to a Services Agreement described in this Proxy Statement under the heading “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”. The Company does not directly pay Messrs. Naughton and Seaton for their services. The Company has no other executive officers or employees. In the future, should the Services Agreement with Novogen be terminated, or should the Company hire executive officers whose services are not covered by the Services Agreement, the Company’s Remuneration Committee expects to align compensation paid to executive officers and on both a long and short term basis in the form of cash salaries and the issuance of share options under the Marshall Edwards, Inc. Share Option Plan. Total compensation will be tied to individual performance and supplemented with awards tied to the Company’s achieving certain financial and non-financial objectives as pre-determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Executive Officers

The Company’s executive officers are appointed by the Board of Directors and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Set forth below are the names and certain biographical information regarding the Company’s executive officers as of October 19, 2007.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Company’s agreements with its parent corporation Novogen are each summarized below. As Novogen is the Company’s parent corporation, each of the Company’s agreements with Novogen are considered related party transactions. The Company’s Code of Conduct provides that the Company’s Audit Committee, which is composed of independent directors in accordance with both Nasdaq and SEC guidelines, review and approve all related party transactions. As such, each of these agreements were reviewed and approved by the majority of the members of the Company’s Audit Committee who did not have an interest in the transactions. The Company believes that each of the Company’s agreements with Novogen is on terms as favorable to the Company as the Company could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties. The following description is only a summary of what the Company believes are the material provisions of the agreements.

The License Agreement for Phenoxodiol

In September 2003, Novogen’s subsidiary, Novogen Research Pty Limited (“Novogen Research”), entered into a license agreement with the Company’s subsidiary, Marshall Edwards Pty Limited (“MEPL”), pursuant to which Novogen Research granted MEPL a world-wide, non-transferable license under its patents and patent applications and in its licensed know-how to conduct clinical trials and commercialize and distribute phenoxodiol products (the “Phenoxodiol License Agreement”). The Company and Novogen have each guaranteed the obligations of their respective subsidiaries under the Phenoxodiol License Agreement. See “Guarantee and Indemnity Agreement.” The Phenoxodiol License Agreement is exclusive until the expiration or lapsing of the last relevant Novogen patents or patent applications in the world, which the Company expects will be no earlier than August 29, 2017, and thereafter is non-exclusive for the remainder of the term of the Phenoxodiol License Agreement. The Phenoxodiol License Agreement grants the Company the right to make, have made, market, distribute, sell, hire or otherwise dispose of phenoxodiol products in the field of prevention treatment or cure of cancer in humans by pharmaceuticals delivered in all forms except topical applications (the “Field”). The Company is obliged to continue current and undertake further clinical trials of phenoxodiol, and is responsible for paying for all materials necessary to conduct clinical trials. The Company must conduct all such trials diligently and professionally, must use reasonable endeavors to design and conduct clinical trials to generate outcomes which are calculated to result in regulatory approval of phenoxodiol products. The Company must also keep proper records of all clinical trials and allow Novogen to inspect those records.

All intellectual property rights in the compound, trial protocols, results of the clinical trials, case report forms and any other materials used in the conduct of the clinical trials are assigned by the Company to Novogen and the Company may not publish the results of clinical trials without the prior written consent of Novogen. Each party must disclose to the other party developments, improvements, enhancements or new know-how in relation to the phenoxodiol product which are made or acquired by either party.

The Company may not sub-license, sub-contract, or engage agents without the prior written consent of Novogen. Any proposed sub-contractors and agents must first agree in writing to comply with certain confidentiality obligations and to assign to Novogen all intellectual property rights in the Field created or acquired by them in the course of their engagement.

Marketing and Commercialization

The Company may market and commercialize phenoxodiol products under the Phenoxodiol License Agreement in any manner the Company thinks fit, so long as the Company conducts any marketing and commercialization activities on a commercially reasonable basis in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, complies with reasonable directions given by Novogen, acts in a manner which the Company considers to be most beneficial to the interests of the Company and Novogen, and otherwise act in good faith to Novogen. All advertising and promotional material must be submitted to Novogen for prior approval.

Fees, Charges and Costs

MEPL paid $5,000,000 to Novogen in February 2004 which was the first lump sum license fee payment due under the terms of the Phenoxodiol License Agreement. Also, MEPL paid $2,000,000 to Novogen in January 2005

and $4,000,000 in January 2006 which were the annual milestone license fee payments due under the Phenoxodiol License Agreement. MEPL paid a second lump sum license fee of $5,000,000 to Novogen in July 2006 following the raising of funds in a private placement closed on July 11, 2006 (the “PIPE”). This license fee was due on the later of November 1, 2003 or such later date when the cumulative total of all funds received from debt or equity issuances and revenue received from commercialization (income other than sales) and sales of phenoxodiol products exceeded $50,000,000. Following the PIPE, the funds received from equity issuances exceeded $50,000,000 which triggered this license fee payment. Future amounts payable to Novogen under terms of the Phenoxodiol License Agreement are as follows:

1. Until the expiration of the exclusivity period of the license, MEPL must pay Novogen 2.5% of all net sales and 25% of commercialization income. After the exclusivity period of the license, 1.5% of net sales must be paid to Novogen. The preconditions to such payments have not yet occurred.

The “Exclusivity Period” ends on the later of:

(a) the date of expiration or lapsing of the last patent right in the patents and patent applications set out in the Phenoxodiol License Agreement with Novogen; or

(b) the date of expiration or lapsing of the last licensed patent right which MEPL would, but for the license granted in the Phenoxodiol License Agreement, infringe in any country in the geographical territory covered by the Phenoxodiol License Agreement by doing in that country any of the things set out in the Phenoxodiol License Agreement

2. In addition to the amounts above, beginning in 2006, an $8,000,000 annual milestone license fee is payable under the amended terms of the Phenoxodiol License Agreement for each calendar year ending December 31 during the exclusivity period of the license. The December 31, 2006 license fee has been deferred under the license amendment deed discussed below.

Termination

The Company may terminate the Phenoxodiol License Agreement at any time, by giving three months’ notice to Novogen. The Company may also terminate the Phenoxodiol License Agreement if Novogen commits a breach of any of its material obligations under the Phenoxodiol License Agreement, becomes the subject of certain bankruptcy proceedings or is unable to lawfully perform its obligations. Novogen may terminate the Phenoxodiol License Agreement if the Company commits a breach of any of the Company’s material obligations thereunder, becomes the subject of certain bankruptcy proceedings or is unable to lawfully perform its obligations. Novogen may also terminate the Phenoxodiol License Agreement immediately if a change of control, as defined therein, occurs without the consent of Novogen.

License Amendment Deed for Phenoxodiol

In June 2006, MEPL entered into an amendment deed to the Phenoxodiol License Agreement (the “License Amendment Deed for Phenoxodiol”). Pursuant to the original terms of the Phenoxodiol License Agreement, MEPL was required to pay an $8,000,000 license milestone fee to Novogen Research in December 2006. The License Amendment Deed for Phenoxodiol extends the date that the $8,000,000 license milestone fee is payable until the earliest receipt by MEPL of the first:

(i) approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) of a new drug application (“NDA”) for phenoxodiol;

(ii) approval or authorization of any kind to market phenoxodiol in the United States; or

(iii) approval or authorization of any kind by a government agency in any other country to market phenoxodiol.

Upon receipt of any of the above (the “Approval Date”), MEPL must pay to Novogen, $8,000,000, together with interest on that amount from (and including) December 31, 2006, calculated at the bank bill rate. This milestone license fee replaces the December 31, 2006 milestone fee.

Further Amended and Restated License Agreement

In March 2007, MEPL and Novogen Research entered into another amendment deed to the Phenoxodiol License Agreement for the purpose of further amending and restating the Phenoxodiol License Agreement (the “Further Amended and Restated License Amendment”).

The combined result of the License Amendment Deed for Phenoxodiol and the Further Amended and Restated License Agreement will be that upon the Approval Date, MEPL will be required to pay Novogen Research $8,000,000, together with interest on such amount from (and including) December 31, 2006 to (but excluding) the Approval Date. Thereafter, MEPL will be required to make license milestone fee payments of $8,000,000 to Novogen Research on December 31 of the year of the Approval Date and on December 31 of each year thereafter during the exclusivity period under the Phenoxodiol License Agreement.

No license fees under the Phenoxodiol License Agreement were accrued at June 30, 2007.

The License Agreement for NV-196 and NV-143

In May 2006, MEPL entered into a second license agreement with Novogen Research for two oncology compounds, NV-196 and NV-143 (the “NV-196 and NV-143 License Agreement”). Novogen Research has granted MEPL a world-wide, non-transferable license under its patents and patent applications and in its licensed know-how to conduct clinical trials and commercialize and distribute NV-196 and NV-143 products. The NV-196 and NV-143 License Agreement is exclusive until the expiration or lapsing of the last relevant Novogen patents or patent applications in the world and thereafter is non-exclusive. The NV-196 and NV-143 License Agreement grants the Company the right to make, have made, market, distribute, sell, hire or otherwise dispose of NV-196 and NV-143 products in the field of prevention treatment or cure of cancer in humans by pharmaceuticals delivered in all forms except topical applications.

The Company is obligated to continue current and undertake further clinical trials of NV-196 and NV-143, and is responsible for paying for all materials necessary to conduct clinical trials. The Company must conduct all such trials diligently and professionally. The Company must use reasonable endeavors to design and conduct clinical trials to generate outcomes which are calculated to result in regulatory approval of NV-196 and NV-143 products. The Company must also keep proper records of all clinical trials and allow Novogen to inspect those records.

All intellectual property rights in the compounds, trial protocols, results of clinical trials, case report forms and any other materials used in the conduct of the clinical trials are assigned by the Company to Novogen and the Company may not publish the results of clinical trials without the prior written consent of Novogen. Each party must disclose to the other party developments, improvements, enhancements or new know-how in relation to the NV-196 and NV-143 products which are made or acquired by either party.

The Company may not sub-license, sub-contract or engage agents without the prior written consent of Novogen. Any proposed sub-contractors and agents must first agree in writing to comply with certain confidentiality obligations and to assign to Novogen all intellectual property rights in the Field created or acquired by them in the course of their engagement.

Marketing and Commercialization

The Company may market and commercialize NV-196 and NV-143 products under the NV-196 and NV-143 License Agreement in any manner that the Company thinks fit so long as the Company conducts any marketing and commercialization activities on a commercially reasonable basis in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Company must also comply with reasonable direction given to the Company by Novogen, act in a manner which the Company considers to be most beneficial to the interests of the Company and Novogen and otherwise act in good faith to Novogen. All advertising and promotional material must be submitted to Novogen for prior approval.

Fees, Charges and Costs

MEPL paid $1,000,000 to Novogen in May 2006 which was the first lump sum license fee payment due under the terms of the license agreement. Future amounts payable to Novogen under the terms of the license agreement are as follows:

1. MEPL must pay to Novogen the following milestone license fees upon the occurrence of the corresponding milestone as detailed below:

(a) the first licensed product containing NV-196 to reach a milestone as described below; and

(b) the first licensed product containing NV-143 to reach a milestone as described below.

The milestone license fees are:

(i) $1,000,000 on the date an investigational new drug application for the licensed product goes into effect or the equivalent approval of a government agency is obtained in another country. If this event does not occur before March 31, 2008 then this amount will be due on this date;

(ii) $2,000,000 on the date of enrollment of the first clinical trial subject in a Phase II clinical trial of the licensed product. If this event does not occur before June 30, 2009, then this amount will be due on this date;

(iii) $3,000,000 on the date of enrollment of the first clinical trial subject in a Phase III clinical trial of the licensed product. If this event does not occur before December 31, 2011, then this amount will be due on this date; and

(iv) $8,000,000 on the date of first receipt of a NDA for the licensed product from the FDA or equivalent approval from a government agency in another country. If this event does not occur before December 31, 2013, then this amount will be due on this date.

2. MEPL must pay Novogen 5% of all net sales and 25% of commercialization income for the term of the license. The royalty rate is reduced by 50% if the licensed patent right in any country or territory expires, lapses, is revoked, does not exist or is assigned to MEPL and the product is entirely manufactured and supplied in such country.

3. Minimum royalties of $3,000,000 per year are payable following the date of the first receipt of an NDA for a licensed product from the FDA (or equivalent approval from a government agency in any other country) until the expiration of the term.

Termination

The Company may terminate the NV-196 and NV-143 License Agreement at any time by giving three months’ notice to Novogen. The Company may also terminate the NV-196 and NV-143 License Agreement if Novogen commits a breach of any of its material obligations thereunder, becomes the subject of certain bankruptcy proceedings or is unable to lawfully perform its obligations. Novogen may terminate the NV-196 and NV-143 License Agreement if the Company commits a breach of any of the Company’s material obligations under thereunder, become the subject of certain bankruptcy proceedings or is unable to lawfully perform its obligations. Novogen may also terminate the NV-196 and NV-143 License Agreement immediately if a change of control, as defined therein, occurs without the consent of Novogen.

As the NV-196 and NV-143 License Agreement may be terminated without penalty by MEPL by giving three months notice, the license fees due thereunder are recognized as an expense when the milestone event occurs.

The Amended and Restated Manufacturing License and Supply Agreement

In September 2003, MEPL entered into an amended and restated manufacturing license and supply agreement (the “Manufacturing License and Supply Agreement”) with Novogen Laboratories Pty Limited (“Novogen Laboratories”) pursuant to which MEPL granted to Novogen Laboratories, an exclusive, non-transferable sub-license to manufacture and supply phenoxodiol to the Company in its primary manufactured form. The Company

and Novogen have each guaranteed the obligations of their respective subsidiaries under the Manufacturing License and Supply Agreement. See “Guarantee and Indemnity Agreement.” Novogen must not sublicense its rights or engage agents or subcontractors to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under the Manufacturing License and Supply Agreement without the Company’s prior written consent.

Supply of Phenoxodiol

The Company provides to Novogen rolling forecasts quarterly of the Company’s estimated supply requirements for phenoxodiol, and issues purchase orders for phenoxodiol to Novogen specifying the volume of phenoxodiol required. Novogen must confirm the quantity that it is able to supply to fulfill the purchase order within five business days of receiving the purchase order. Novogen must then supply the volume of phenoxodiol it agreed to supply, and must otherwise use all reasonable endeavors to fulfill the purchase order. Novogen must manufacture and deliver phenoxodiol to the Company at a port nominated by the Company. Title to the phenoxodiol does not pass to the Company until the Company has paid the purchase price (as described below) and retention of title arrangements apply. The Company is not obligated to purchase any minimum amount of phenoxodiol from Novogen. The Company must also provide to Novogen at least one year’s advance written notice of the date on which the phenoxodiol product will be first offered for sale commercially.

If Novogen materially and persistently fails to supply the amount of phenoxodiol ordered by the Company by the required date, the Company may manufacture (or engage a third party, without Novogen’s consent, to manufacture) the amount of the shortfall of phenoxodiol until Novogen demonstrates that it is able to consistently supply phenoxodiol in accordance with the Company’s requirements. In this case, Novogen must take all reasonable steps to make available to the Company or the third party, on commercial terms, the know-how necessary to enable that manufacture to occur.

Fees and Charges

The purchase price for phenoxodiol supplied is the total costs to Novogen plus a mark-up of 50%. The purchase price may be adjusted quarterly by Novogen by reference to the actual costs referred to above for the preceding quarter. If at any time the Company does not pay any amount due to Novogen, Novogen may suspend the supply of phenoxodiol to the Company until payment is received. Interest accrues daily on the outstanding balance of all overdue amounts payable to Novogen under the Manufacturing License and Supply Agreement.

At June 30, 2007, no amount was due and owing to Novogen under the Manufacturing License and Supply Agreement.

Manufacturing Developments and Improvements

Each party must disclose to the other any new developments, improvements and new know-how relating to the manufacture of phenoxodiol which are made or acquired by it during the term of the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement. All intellectual property rights in developments, improvements and new know-how made or acquired by Novogen are to be assigned to the Company. The Company must provide to Novogen such technical information and assistance as Novogen reasonably requests in order to exercise its rights and perform its obligations.

Each party acknowledges that nothing in the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement shall have the effect of transferring or assigning to Novogen any right, title or interest in any intellectual property rights in the phenoxodiol products licensed under the Manufacturing License and Supply Agreement.

Novogen agrees to notify the Company immediately on becoming aware of any infringement of the intellectual property rights in the licensed products or any claim by a third party that the activities of the parties under the Manufacturing License and Supply Agreement infringe such third party’s intellectual property rights. If required, Novogen agrees to be a party to any proceedings brought by the Company in relation to any infringement of intellectual property rights in the licensed products and also agrees, at the Company’s cost, to provide all reasonable assistance in relation to such proceedings and to execute such documents as the Company reasonably requires.

Novogen has taken the strategic decision not to manufacture commercial scale Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) for cancer drugs, including phenoxodiol, as these can be more economically supplied by third

parties with particular expertise in this area. The contract facilities that have been identified are FDA licensed, have a track record of large scale API manufacture and have already invested in capital and equipment. The Company has completed the novation to MEPL of contracts that Novogen had entered into with third parties to develop a scalable manufacturing method to ensure that sufficient quantities of phenoxodiol can be manufactured in compliance with cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) and to complete the analytical and stability work necessary for an NDA submission.

Termination

Either party may terminate the Manufacturing License and Supply Agreement immediately at any time if the other party becomes the subject of certain bankruptcy proceedings, becomes unable to carry out the transactions contemplated by the Manufacturing License and Supply Agreement or breaches its obligations and does not cure such breach within twenty-one days notice. The Company may also terminate the Manufacturing License and Supply Agreement immediately if the Phenoxodiol License Agreement expires or is terminated. Novogen may also terminate the Manufacturing License and Supply Agreement immediately if a change of control, as defined therein, occurs without the consent of Novogen.

Limitation of Liability

The liability of Novogen for breach of conditions or warranties imposed by statute is limited to the replacement of goods, supply of equivalent goods, repair or replacement value of goods or the re-supply or payment for re-supply of services.

The Amended and Restated License Option Deed

In September 2003, Novogen Research granted MEPL, an amended and restated license option deed (the “License Option Deed”) which granted MEPL an exclusive first right to accept and an exclusive last right to match any proposed dealing by Novogen with its intellectual property rights with a third party relating to certain synthetic pharmaceutical compounds (other than phenoxodiol) developed by Novogen or its affiliates.

Option Compounds

The rights relate to all synthetic pharmaceutical compounds, known as option compounds, delivered or taken in all forms except topical applications (other than phenoxodiol, which is the subject of the license agreement), developed before or during the term of the License Option Deed, by or on behalf of Novogen or its affiliates, which have known applications in the Field of prevention, treatment or cure of cancer in humans.

Dealings in Option Compounds and Exercise of Rights

Novogen must not, and must ensure that its affiliates other than the Company do not, deal, solicit entertain or discuss dealings with any intellectual property rights in the Field or in relation to any option compounds without giving the Company an exclusive first right to accept and an exclusive last right to match any such dealing. If the Company exercises its first right to accept or last right to match, Novogen must deal with the intellectual property rights in favor of the Company on the terms and conditions proposed. The Company has fifteen business days to exercise those rights and, if the Company fails to do so, Novogen may deal with those intellectual property rights in favor of a third party provided that the terms are no more favorable to that third party than those first offered to the Company or which the Company declined to match.

Protection of Intellectual Property

Novogen must act in good faith toward the Company in relation to its obligations under the License Option Deed and must ensure that all persons involved in any research or development work in the Field in relation to option compounds assign all intellectual property rights relating to the option compounds to Novogen. Novogen must also ensure that its affiliates, other than the Company, do the same. Novogen continues to be solely responsible for the maintenance of any patent rights in the option compounds, which it may maintain and enforce at its sole discretion and expense.

Development Reports

Novogen must provide to the Company from time to time, and in no event less frequently than every six months, development reports relating to the clinical trials and development of option compounds, and must notify the Company immediately of any regulatory approvals granted and assessments made by any government agency.

Term and Termination

The term of the License Option Deed is sixteen years from the commencement date of the agreement, unless terminated earlier. The Company may terminate the License Option Deed at any time on three months’ notice to Novogen. Either party may terminate the License Option Deed immediately at any time if the other party becomes the subject of certain bankruptcy proceedings, becomes unable to carry out the transactions contemplated by the agreement or breaches its obligations and does not cure such breach within twenty-one days notice.

Novogen may also terminate the License Option Deed immediately if a change of control, as defined in the license option License Option Deed, occurs without the consent of Novogen.

The Amended and Restated Services Agreement

In September 2003, Novogen, the Company and MEPL entered into an amended and restated services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) pursuant to which Novogen has agreed to provide a range of services to the Company, or ensure that its subsidiaries provide those services.

These services include providing general assistance and advice on research and development and commercializing phenoxodiol products and other compounds in which the Company may acquire intellectual property rights in the future, such as option compounds in relation to which the Company has exercised its rights under the License Option Deed.

Novogen’s obligations also include providing, within the agreed budgets described below, the Company’s needs with respect to secretarial, marketing, finance, logistics, administrative and managerial support. Novogen also plans, conducts and supervises pre-clinical and clinical trials with phenoxodiol and with other compounds in which the Company has intellectual property rights. Novogen provides scientific and technical advice on management of pre-clinical and clinical research programs undertaken by the Company and manages such research provisions. The Company has guaranteed the obligations of the Company’s subsidiary under the services agreement. See “Guarantee and Indemnity Agreement.”

Novogen may not sub-contract the provision of any part of the services without the Company’s prior written consent.

Fees for Services

The Company pays services fees to Novogen on a monthly basis in accordance with an agreed annual budget. At the beginning of each financial year Novogen prepares a budget estimate for the Company with respect to the percentage of time spent by Novogen’s employees and consultants in the provision of services to the Company in the previous financial year and any relevant considerations which are likely to influence the time spent for the following financial year. Each estimate must include the remuneration paid by Novogen to each person expected to provide the services and the percentage of time Novogen expects those persons will spend on the Company’s business, the allocated on-costs attributable to each person, a premises rental charge and a charge for asset usage and general overheads. The total estimate is to be the sum of these charges plus a mark-up of 10%. The Company also pays Novogen’s reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in providing the services to the Company. At the end of the fiscal year an adjustment is made to reflect actual costs incurred where they differ from budget.

At June 30, 2007, $177,000 was due and owing to Novogen under the Services Agreement.

Intellectual Property and Confidentiality

All intellectual property rights created by Novogen in the performance of the services for or at the request of the Company are licensed to the Company. Each party also has obligations to the other party to honor the other’s confidential information.

Termination

The Company may terminate its rights and obligations under the Services Agreement on three months’ written notice to Novogen. Either the Company or Novogen may terminate the Services Agreement immediately at any time if the other party becomes the subject of certain bankruptcy proceedings, becomes unable to carry out the transactions contemplated by the Services Agreement, breaches its obligations and does not cure such breach within twenty-one days notice or if a change of control in the other party occurs. Novogen may also terminate the Services Agreement immediately if a change of control, as defined in the Services Agreement, occurs without the consent of Novogen.

Guarantee and Indemnity Agreement

In May 2002, the Company entered into a guaranty and indemnity agreement (the “Guaranty and Indemnity Agreement”) with MEPL, Novogen, Novogen Research and Novogen Laboratories pursuant to which the Company has guaranteed the payment and performance of the obligations of MEPL, to Novogen and its subsidiaries, Novogen Laboratories and Novogen Research, under the Phenoxodiol License Agreement, the Manufacturing License and Supply Agreement and the Services Agreement. Novogen has guaranteed the performance of the obligations of Novogen Research under the Phenoxodiol License Agreement and the obligations of Novogen Laboratories under the Manufacturing License and Supply Agreement to MEPL. Each of the Company’s and Novogen’s obligations in the guarantee and indemnity agreement are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable.

Indemnification

The Company and Novogen have each agreed to indemnity the other if either of the Company’s respective subsidiaries default in the performance of any obligation under the license agreement, the manufacturing license and supply agreement or the services agreement. The defaulting party must indemnify the other against all losses, liabilities and expenses, including legal expenses on a full indemnity basis, incurred, directly or indirectly, as a result of that default. The party in default must pay the amount of those losses, liabilities and expenses on demand to the non-defaulting party. Furthermore, if Marshall Edwards Pty Limited defaults on its payment obligations, the Company must pay that money as directed by Novogen.

Termination

This agreement is a continuing obligation, and remains in full force until all the guaranteed obligations have been irrevocably paid and performed in full.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit committee of the Board of Directors has furnished the following report on its activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The report is not deemed to be “soliciting material” or “filed” with the SEC or subject to the SEC’s proxy rules or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the report shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any prior or subsequent filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference into any such filing.

The Audit Committee oversees the financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial reporting process, principles and internal controls as well as preparation of the Company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee is comprised of Mr. Stephen Breckenridge (chairman), Mr. Philip Johnston, Professor Bryan Williams and Professor Paul Nestel, each of whom is an independent director as defined by the applicable Nasdaq and SEC rules. The Audit Committee held 5 meetings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Audit Committee appointed independent auditors BDO Kendalls (NSW) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with the independent auditors the overall scope and specific plans for their Audit. The Audit Committee also reviewed and discussed with the independent auditors and with management the Company’s audited financial statements and the adequacy of the Company’s internal controls. The Audit Committee met with the independent auditors, without management present, to discuss the results of the Company’s independent auditor’s audits, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting. Although the Audit Committee has the sole authority to appoint the independent auditors, the Audit Committee will continue its practice of recommending that the Board of Directors ask the stockholders, at their annual meeting, to ratify their appointment of the independent auditors.

The Audit Committee monitored the independence and performance of the independent auditors. The Audit committee discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statements on Auditing Standards No 61 as amended by Statements on Auditing Standards No 90 (Communication with Audit Committees). The Company’s independent auditors have provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees,” and the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditor and management the independent auditor’s independence.

Based upon the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 for filing with the SEC.

The following presents aggregate fees billed to the Company for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 by BDO, the Company’s independent auditors and principle outside accountants.

Audit Fees

Audit fees were $92,500 and $78,000 for the years ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. The fees were for professional services rendered for audits of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and for reviews of the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

Audit Related Fees

Audit Related Fees were $10,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007 for professional services rendered in connection with the preparation of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3. There were no audit related fees for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.

Tax Fees

Tax fees were $2,670 and $2,550 for the years ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. Tax fees were incurred in connection with the preparation of tax returns.

All Other Fees

There were no other fees for the year ended June 30, 2007. There were fees of $5,700 billed by BDO for the year ended June 30, 2006 in connection with the Company’s removal of the previously reported material weakness in internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls.

PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy and the procedure for pre-approving all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Company’s independent auditors. The policy requires pre-approval of all services rendered by the Company’s independent auditors either as part of the Audit Committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent auditors or on a case by case basis.

The services provided for 2007 were 88% audit services, 10% audit related fees, 2% tax fees and 0% all other fees.

The services provided for 2006 were 90% audit services, 0% audit related fees, 3% tax fees and 7% all other fees.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the Common Stock of the Company to file initial reports of ownership of such securities and reports of changes in ownership of such securities with the SEC. Such officers, directors and 10% stockholders of the Company are also required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on the Company’s review of the copies of the forms furnished by such persons, the Company believes that, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, officers, directors and 10% stockholders filed all required 16(a) forms on a timely basis.

No member of the Remuneration Committee had any relationships requiring disclosure by the Company pursuant to the SEC’s rules requiring disclosure of certain relationships and related party transactions. No executive officer of the Company has served on the Remuneration Committee of any other entity that has, or has had, one or more executive officers serving as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Remuneration Committee of the Company has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussions, the compensation committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

1. The Committee shall have the sole authority to appoint, retain and terminate the Company’s independent auditors, subject if applicable, to shareholder ratification.

The independent auditor shall report directly to the Committee. The Committee shall consult with management but shall not delegate these responsibilities.

2. As required by the NASDAQ , the Committee shall, at least annually, obtain and review a report by the independent auditor describing: (a) the firm’s internal quality control procedures; (b) any material issues raised by (i) the most recent internal quality-control review (or peer review) of the firm, or (ii) any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years, in respect of any of its partners and or any one or more audits carried out by the firm, and any steps taken by the independent auditor to deal with the issues raised; and (c) all relationships between the independent auditor and the Company.

The Committee shall evaluate the qualifications, performance and independence of the independent auditor (in light of applicable legal or stock exchange independence standards then in effect), including considering whether the auditors quality controls are adequate.

These include (a) all critical accounting policies and practices to be used; (b) all alternative treatments for financial information within generally accepted accounting principles that have been discussed with management, ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures and treatments, and the treatment preferred by the independent auditor; and (c) other material written communications between the independent auditor and management.

The Committee shall discuss with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, including any significant change in the company’s selection or application of accounting principles, any major issues relating to the adequacy of the Company’s internal controls and any steps adopted in the light of material control deficiencies.
