We provide AI - driven, knowledge - based discovery services for pharma and diagnostic companies, by leveraging four assets from our recent acquisition of Helomics A patient derived ( PDx ) tumor platform for testing of drug response ( TruTumor ™) A huge database of 150,000+ genomic and drug response profiles of patient tumors amassed over 10+ years of Helomics clinical testing. (TumorSpace™ A proprietary AI platform encapsulating the knowledge from Helomics clinical data, public data and collaborator data ( e.g. UK 100,000 genomes project) A CLIA and NYSDOH certified state - of - the art laboratory Our AI platform learns how mutations in the tumor map to drug response, based on the data in TumorSpace. These insights, together with our TruTumor platform are used in discovery service projects to discover new biomarkers, new therapies and new diagnostics Precision Therapeutics - Who We Are 3

 
 

The 100,000 Genomes Project sequenced whole genomes of patients provided by the National Health Service of England. Project members include Helomics (Precision Therapeutics subsidiary) , Roche, GSK, Biogen, AstraZeneca, Abbvie , Takeda, Alexion, UCB and Dimension Therapeutics.

 
 

Overview 5 Precision Therapeutics Inc. merged with Helomics on April 5 to create a company focused on ai - driven, knowledge - based drug discovery. * Source:BIS Research’s Global Precision Medicine Market to Reach $141.70 Billion by 2026, December 2017). • Development of precision therapies targets the genetic variability in the tumor to treat an individual’s cancer. • By the end of 2018, around 22,240 people will have received a new ovarian cancer diagnosis, and the disease will kill around 14,070 people, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). • Our goal is to assist pharmaceutical companies in developing targeted therapies for ovarian cancer based on understanding both the multi - omic profile and the drug response profile of the tumor. • The global precision medicine market* is estimated to reach $141.7 billion by 2026 up from $43.6 billion in 2016.

 
 

Why Invest in Precision Therapeutics Now? 6 Value Proposition • We recently acquired Helomics to leverage their $200 million asset – a large tumor database, PDx platform, AI technology and laboratory, with a focus on ovarian cancer. The market capitalization today is just $20 million. We plan a stepwise approach in growing value 1. Leverage our data base of 150,000 cancer cases acquired over 10+ years of standardized, CLIA clinical testing into our artificial intelligence platform with both its unique tumor - drug - response profiles and key cancer biomarkers. 2. Pilot studies with pharmaceutical and molecular diagnostic companies that, if successful, will lead to long term drug discovery contracts. The company has already signed deals with VC funded Viome , Interpace Diagnostics, SpeciCare and the National Alopecia Areata Foundation. 3. The third stage is modeled after the Roche / Foundation Health transaction which resulted in a $250 million investment by Roche and a $5.4 billion acquisition 2 years later. We plan to seek a pharmaceutical strategic investor in 2020.

 
 

A unique data asset – 150,000 tumor cases 7 • High quality, standardized data from clinical testing • 131 tumor types • Drug response profiles • Biomarker and mutational profiles • Limited clinical outcome data $200MM /10+ years was invested in the company to generate this data

Building Our CRO Business: Three Revenue Streams 17 Helomics has three integrated lines of business Data Services We collaborate with Pharma to use our AI engine to drive drug discovery. To this end we are seeking to acquire new data from universities, academic medical centers and hospitals to integrate into our AI platform. CRO Business Working with pharma to develop targeted cancer drugs based on a deep functional understanding of cancer. The strength of our approach is our deep knowledge of how tumors respond to drugs, coupled with artificial intelligence to drive research to generate new drug candidates/biomarkers which we can then test in our TruTumor platform (Patient derived tumors). Clinical Testing Drug and genomic profiles of the tumor to create actionable information to help the oncologist guide patient therapy.

 
 

• The global precision medicine* market is estimated to reach $141.7 billion by 2026, up from $43.6 billion in 2016. This growth is supported by the industry’s investment in precision medicine, with leading biopharmaceutical companies doubling their investments in the technology over the last five years, with the potential to increase by an additional 33% over the next five years(1) 18 Precision Medicine – What is it? “ Precision Medicine is a form of medicine that uses information about a person’s genes, proteins, and environment to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. In cancer, precision medicine uses specific information about a person’s tumor to help diagnose, plan treatment, find out how well treatment is working, or make a prognosis.” – NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUE (1)Source: BIS Research’s Global Precision Medicine Market to Reach $141.70 Billion by 2026, December 2017).

 
 

About Helomics 19 • Based in Pittsburgh, PA we own and operate a 17,400 sq. ft. CLIA & NYSDOH certified laboratory. • Helomics has a unique library of tumor genomic and drug response profiles accumulated over 10+ years of clinical testing. • We have developed a proprietary, cloud based artificial Intelligence platform. Its algorithms are constantly probing new data and building “google - like” intelligence in cancer biology • A network of 1500 oncologists have contributed tumor samples held in our repository.

 
 

20 Tumor Genesis, Inc. Our TumorGenesis subsidiary is developing the next generation of patient derived ( PDx ) tumor models for precision cancer drug development . • We are working with Helomics to develop a superior way for Pharmaceutical companies to test new drugs in live tumors outside the body instead of in mice ( PDx mouse model). • Essentially “fools” the cancer cells into thinking they are still growing inside the patient. • This approach will provide a much more relevant model of the patient tumor that may be used for testing of drugs for personalizing therapy and the development of new drugs. • The Company plans to initially develop the TumorGenesis PDx model for three orphan cancers that have a high unmet need for new and effective treatments that are tailored to the patient’s unique tumor profiles: multiple myeloma , triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) , and ovarian cancer . • Unlike the current PDx animal models that grow the tumor in a mouse or rat, the TumorGenesis approach is faster, less costly and more closely mimics the characteristics of the patient’s tumor. .

Our End Game: Build An Asset Pharma Needs • We are following the play book written by Foundational Medicine (NYSE: FMI). They built a diagnostic business to generate genomic cancer data which now enables Pharmaceutical companies to develop newtargeted cancer drugs based on the genomic profile of the tumor. • FMI went public in 2013. Roche invested $250 million into FMI in 2015 and then bought 50% of the company at a 100% premium to the public stock price. Roche acquired FMI for $5.4 billion in 2018. • Precision Therapeutics acquired Helomics in April, 2019. As a combined public company the goal is to rapidly monetize the existing database of 150,000 tumors by using our AI engine to generate insights about how different tumors respond to drugs to develop new drugs. Our focus is ovarian cancer. • Our goal is to partner with Pharma in the second half of 2019. Seek a strategic investor over the next 18 months.
