Beta Glucan

Beta glucan is a water soluble fibre found in the cell walls of oat kernels

Acts as a natural moisture barrier and film-forming agent

Relieves and alleviates dry and itchy skin by replenishing and protecting the skin’s moisture barrier

Provides hydration against the drying effects of the sun

Smoothens wrinkles, reducing the visible signs of aging

13

Beta Glucan in Cosmeceuticals

Ceapro was the first to demonstrate that high molecular weight beta glucan can penetrate human skin

Dermatology applications range from anti-ageing to wound healing

New highly purified beta glucan powder successfully developed to address new market demands/trends

14

Natural Skin Restructuring Agent

Proven to effectively reduces fine lines & wrinkles

Forms a natural barrier protecting skin

Wound healing agent – films or gels

Sustained release of active agents requiring enhanced percutaneous transportation

15

Beta Glucan in Nutraceuticals and Pharmaceuticals

Potential reduction of cardiovascular and heart diseases risk - Acts to decrease LDL and total cholesterol

Proprietary beta glucan drug-delivery platform- Shown to effectively penetrate into the skin, into the deep layers as well

as into the skin cells

- Uses ranging from wound care and therapy, to skin care treatments that reduce the signs of aging

16

Unique Enabling Technology - PGX

Pressurized Gas Expanded (PGX) Liquid – Spray Drying

PGX is a novel spray drying technique for processing water-soluble biopolymers

- Platform that can produce numerous morphologies of biopolymers ranging from fine fibres to granular powder, which are highly water soluble

Operates at lower temperatures than conventional spray drying allowing incorporation of thermosensitive bioactives as well

17

PGX-BG Impregnated with CoQ10 (iBG)

Impregnation of highly porous biopolymer matrix - with thermosensitive bioactives (or

drugs, API) - Nutraceuticals- Functional food ingredients

- Drug Delivery Vehicle

Impregnation is accomplished- by means of supercritical CO2

- in the same processing equipment - at moderate temperatures of 40 °C.

Pure PGX BG

iBG: 5.5% CoQ10 on BG

PGX - A New Platform Technology

Application of PGX-CNC- Wound healing, scaffolds

- Drug delivery- Absorbents- Composite-plastic- Paints

PGX processing allows processing of high value biopolymers- Beta Glucan- Chitosan- Gum Arabic- CNC

21

Avenanthramides

Antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties

Potential benefits in the control of inflammation-based diseases

22

Avenanthramides Clinically Proven in Cosmeceuticals

Significant improvements in erythema symptoms associated in subjects with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis- 40% improvement in itch perception after

1 week

- 62% of patients showed an improvement in their skin condition

Subjects with atopy- 89% of subjects saw significant

improvement in itch after 1 week

- Continued improvement after 4 weeks

23

Advanced Skin Care

Skin inflammation is a complex physiological process

Beta Glucan- Accelerates tissue healing

- Deep hydrating agent

- Improves elasticity

- Natural film protective barrier

Avenanthramides- Relief from itching (Pruritus)

- Reduces inflammation and swelling

- Reduces redness (erythema)

24

Beta glucan

Avenanthramides

Avenanthramides in Nutraceuticals and Pharmaceuticals

Avenanthramides shown to attenuate exercise-induced

inflammation in animal studies

Human clinical studies showed that dietary avenanthramides

supplements significantly reduced inflammation biomarkers in

both elderly and young population

New process technology licensed from Agriculture and Agri-

Food Canada (AAFC) enables production of high concentration

of AVAs

25

Strategy Designed to Leverage Enabling Technologies

26

Cosmeceuticals

• Generate scientific data to support current product indications

• Pursue new indications for current product portfolio from research programs

• Develop new products in accordance with needs expressed by customers

• Improve manufacturing technologies

• Look for ability to develop co-products

Nutraceuticals

• Produce 2nd generations of current products (higher concentrations, powder versions, etc)

• Capture bigger margins

Pharmaceuticals

• Produce 3rd generations of current products (higher concentrations, powder versions, etc)

• Conduct formulation work and assess potential for pharmaceutical development

Value Drivers

Cosmeceuticals - Current and new indications - Base business

Nutraceuticals - New product development - Near term catalyst

Pharmaceuticals - New products, new partnership discussions

Manufacturing Innovation - New processes, higher output, lower cost
