Fatty Liver Portfolio

Three Ongoing Phase II Programs in Clinical Development (NASH, ASH and Pediatric NAFLD)

The lead Principle Investigator for the Immuron non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) clinical study Dr Arun Sanyal, is the former President of AASLD (American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases) and current Chair of the Liver Study Section at the National Institute of Health (NIH).

The study achieved its recruitment goal of at least 120 patients this year and successfully enrolled 133 patients with biopsy proven NASH. The primary endpoint is changes in liver fat content confirmed by MRI and secondary endpoints being changes in ALT (liver enzymes). The top-line results for the study are expected to be reported by Q4 2017.

NASH is a severe form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It affects about 16 million people annually in the United States alone, making it a prime opportunity for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.

With 17.3 percent of Americans aged 15 – 19 suffering NAFLD, Immuron’s Phase I/II clinical trial with Emory University is timely. Health authorities estimate paediatric NAFLD affects five to 10 percent of the US paediatric population, with no current approved treatments.

The lead Principle Investigator for our Pediatric NAFLD study is Dr Miriam Vos, Emory University. Dr Vos specializes in the treatment of gastrointestinal disease in children as well as fatty liver disease and obesity.

Our NIH funded Phase II double blind, placebo control, randomized clinical study of IMM-124E enrolled the first patient into the study in February this year and has so far randomized over 10% of the targeted 40 patients into the study. The primary endpoint is changes in ALT (liver enzymes) following 3 months of treatment with top-line results expected in Q4 2018.

 Page 4 of 21 ASX: IMC NASDAQ: IMRN 

Directors’ Report (Continued…)

Dr Arun Sanyal is also the lead Principle Investigator of the Immuron alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH) clinical study which is also funded by the NIH. Over 50% of the targeted 66 patients have been randomized into the study. The primary endpoint is changes in ALT (liver enzymes) with top-line results are expected in Q1 2019.

US Securities and Exchange Commission Registration

Immuron successfully completed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on 9 June 2017. The Company, through its lead broker Joseph Gunnar & Co. LLC and Rodman & Rendshaw placed 610,000 ADSs and 701,500 Warrants raising USD$6.1M before costs. The close of this raising marked a significant milestone in Immuron’s lifecycle as the Company not only secured additional funding to process its clinical portfolio and current primary clinical trial to completion, but it also gained international exposure to the much large US market.

The listing process had been an ongoing process of audit, legal and regulatory reviews for a number of months to ensure Immuron’s compliance with SEC and NASDAQ regulations.

NASH Clinical Trial Achieves Major Milestones and Receive New US Stimulus

The Company reported the results of the planned interim analysis in July this year. The primary objective of the interim analysis was to evaluate the safety of IMM-124E. The interim analysis was conducted by an Independent Committee to maintain blindness of both company and investigators as required to maintain the study integrity.

The Committee also explored the data for signals of efficacy from the primary, secondary and exploratory end points. The analysis was not powered for efficacy due to the limited sample size.

The report submitted to the Company by the Committee confirmed that there were no safety concerns or adverse events, serum biochemistry, hematology, vital signs, or physical examination findings for both treatment groups. We were very pleased to be able to report the efficacy signals on liver enzymes (ALT and AST) which demonstrated a dose related reduction in both treatment doses at 24 weeks, though not statistically different than placebo.

As these parameters inherently fluctuate over time and are significantly affected by baseline values the interim analysis committee also had scheduled to perform additional analyses on the data set to correct for these inherent variations. Comparing the Area Under Curve for the ALT/AST data over time of IMM-124E to Placebo, accounts for all the available data.

Such analysis demonstrated a significant reduction of ALT and AST over time (AUC ANCOVA analysis) compared to placebo. A dose-related effect was reported when the greatest decrease occurred in the highest dose group, with the low dose group decreasing by an intermediate amount compared with the placebo group.

The Company believes that this documented effect, together with a correlation between ALT and AST, is the proof of concept for a biological effect demonstrating decrease in liver injury.

Immuron has also advanced its world-leading IMM-124E research in NASH with two new studies at Duke University and Sanyal Biotechnology. The studies should augment the evidence of IMM-124E’s unique mechanism of action (MOA) and expected effect on NASH. The results from these studies will supplement our pre-clinical and clinical studies to date, including the anti-fibrotic effect seen in the CCl4 model and the metabolic and immunological improvements seen in both the Ob-Ob mice as well as the Company’s phase I clinical study.

The studies will attempt to generate comparable results in the two leading NASH mouse models which mimic the full clinical spectrum of human NASH, from simple steatosis to substantial fibrosis and cirrhosis. The additional preclinical studies will proceed under the leadership of two internationally renowned NASH researchers, Dr Arun Sanyal, founder of Sanyal Biotechnology, and Dr Anna-Mae Diehl, Director at the Duke University Liver Centre.

The studies are ongoing and are expected to be completed by Q4 2017.

Directors’ Report (Continued…)

Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI) Trial Drug Completes Manufacturing Phase

Immuron is pursuing the biopharmaceutical research and development for an effective and safe non-antibiotic treatment of CDI which accounts for more than 450,000 patients and over 29,000 deaths per year in the United States alone. The IMM-529 drug product for the study has been manufactured and is a first-in class oral immunotherapeutic targeting the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection. IMM-529 has been shown in preclinical tests to be an effective treatment in all phases of the disease and success in this trial will provide encouragement to the Board and Management that the IMM-529 drug product has significant potential for continued clinical development.

The Company received approval from the Israeli Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Hadassah Medical Center Ethics Committee in August of this year to perform Immuron’s IMM-529 clinical study. Immuron has completed the site initiation and the site is open for enrolment. The first of 60 patients is scheduled to be randomized by end of September 2017. The Phase I/II randomized, double-blind, placebo-control clinical study is designed to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of Immuron’s IMM-529 drug product for the treatment of CDI.

Eligible patients will be randomized, in addition to their standard of care treatment, to receive either IMM-529 or placebo three times daily for a total of 28 days which will then be followed by two months of monitoring for any recurrence of disease. The primary objective of the study is to assess IMM-529’s patient safety and tolerability, while secondary endpoints will evaluate the preliminary efficacy of the product evaluated by duration and severity of symptoms, and the rate of recurrence. Top-line results are anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2018.

The clinical study will be conducted under the leadership of Professor Yoseph Caraco, who is the head of the Clinical Pharmacology Unit at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, which specializes in early stage clinical studies. The protocol for the study was jointly developed by Immuron with Professor Caraco, Professor Allon Moses, Chairman of the Department of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, and Professor Jacob Strahilevitz of the Department of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases at Hadassah.

Travelan Marketing Strategy Drives Sales Growth

Sales of Immuron’s flagship OTC travellers’ diarrhea treatment Travelan, enjoyed a strong 38 percent increase in sales compared to the same period last year.

May 2017 saw Travelan’s highest ever monthly sales in the US, reinforcing month-on-month revenue hikes. Much of the growth has come through our excellent partnership in the travel industry with Passport Health.

Our marketing strategy includes staff education in over 3,000 pharmacies, boosted point-of-sale advertising, closer relations with distributors and brokers, and better shelf positions.

We also sponsored a satellite symposium at the 15th Conference of the International Society of Travel Medicine (CISTM15). The symposium, on the overuse of antibiotics in travellers’ diarrhea, featured three renowned gastrointestinal experts and helped gain us exposure to more than 1,500 health professionals from 60 countries.

Collaboration with the US Department of Defence Expands

Immuron this year announced that it will expand the current scope of the cooperative research and development agreement executed in June 2016 with the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR), Silver Spring MD, USA. The Company also executed a cooperative research and development agreement with the Navel Medical Research Centre in August 2016. The current agreement will be expanded to include the development of three fluoroquinolone-resistant Shigella specific anti-microbial therapeutics for pre-clinical evaluation.

WRAIR will fund the evaluation of the anti-Shigella specific activity of our new antibodies, including assessing their protective capacity in established mouse and guinea pig small animal models. Joining the development program and expanding the scope of the program even further, will be the Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences (AFRIMS), headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand. AFRIMS will fund and perform the evaluation of these 3 Shigella specific therapeutics in Non-Human primate (NHP) clinical studies which results in the full clinical spectrum of the disease as seen in humans. The proposed work will be initiated once efficacy is proven in the small animal studies.

 Page 6 of 21 ASX: IMC NASDAQ: IMRN 

Directors’ Report (Continued…)

Shigella is a highly virulent pathogenic organism that can cause disease in humans at extremely low infectious doses. Exposure to as little as 10 to 100 bacteria can cause disease and therefore Shigella can spread easily from person to person. Infection in humans is characterised by the ability of Shigella to invade the mucosal epithelium, replicate intracellularly and spread intercellularly. Animal models that mimic the disease in humans are essential tools for studying Shigella pathogenesis and product efficacy.

The World Health Organisation (W.H.O.) has identified shigella as one of 12 families of bacteria that pose the greatest threat to human health. It estimates shigella causes about 165 million cases of dysentery a year, and kills more than a million people, mostly children in the developing world.

IMM-124E Progresses to Next Study Phase in Acute Colitis Model

Successful completion of stage one of the three stage IMM-124E colitis pre-clinical program has validated continuation of the research.

Conducted at the University of Zurich under the leadership of the renowned Professor Gerhard Rogler, the preclinical research data showed a beneficial biological effect of IMM-124E within the model. Professor Rogler is a leader in the field of Colitis and has authored more than 200 original peer reviewed articles.

Colitis, mostly identified with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, is a group of chronic and generally debilitating inflammatory bowel diseases affecting millions of people globally. The market for inflammatory bowel disease therapeutics could reach US$10 billion annually by 2021.

New Director Appointed

In April, we announced the appointment of Professor Ravi Savarirayan as a Director. Professor Savarirayan is a consultant clinical geneticist at the Victorian Clinical Genetics Services.

He is a certified specialist in clinical genetics and a fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians who has published more than 150 peer-reviewed articles, sits on the editorial boards of four internationally distinguished medical journals and holds, or has held prominent office in several important international medical societies.

Note 10. Adjustment to previously lodged financial statements.

Subsequent to the issue of the financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2016, for the purpose of the US NASDAQ filing process, management reviewed and re-assessed it’s estimates surrounding the accounting treatment applied to the valuation of Unlisted Options issued in lieu of cash payment during the FY2016 financial year for additional services as per Resolution 5A-5D of the AGM held on 25 Nov 2015.

The financial statements for the 30 June 2016 valued the Options using the recommended and accepted Black-Scholes methodology for determining the fair value of the options in accordance with AASB 2 – Share Based Payments. The Company re-assessed the underlying assumptions and estimates surrounding the original Black and Scholes inputs and it was determined that the original volatility input of 42%, was too low. Accordingly, the Company has recalculated the value of the Unlisted Options using the Black and Scholes model including a volatility input of 100% which has effectively increased the share based payment expense associated with the Unlisted Options. This difference in this valuation pertaining to the FY2016 portion of the Unlisted Option expense has been subsequently recorded in the FY2016 financial period effectively restating the original FY2016 presented numbers.
