Introduction

Specialist drug discovery company with unique capabilities to identify novel drug candidates (prototype drugs)

Proprietary technology based on world’s largest and most structurally diverse peptide library of drug-like compounds

Low–risk strategy to drive revenue growth and accelerate profitability through technology licensing and fee-for-service drug discovery

Initiated commercialisation phase – progressing multiple deal opportunities with major pharmaceutical companies

Secured key agreement with Roche, Europe’s largest pharma company, with potential to generate substantial income

Experienced management team with required skills to execute deals and commitment to maximise shareholder value

Biologics consist of

• antibodies

• proteins

• peptides

2008 worldwide sales = $120 Billion

Phylogica has discovered a novel source of therapeutics peptides known as “Phylomers®”

Targets most amenable to treatment with conventional small molecule drugs are drying up.

Cost to develop drugs against “difficult” targets increasing exponentially

Phylomers® represent a new class of peptides derived from natural protein fragments encoded by biodiverse ancient bacterial genomes

Phylomer libraries contain billions of distinct peptides from diverse branches of the evolutionary tree

The libraries are made from genomes of bacteria, many of which live in extreme environments like volcanic streams, geysers and deep sea volcanic vents

• Phylomer structures are pre-selected by evolution to allow survival• High thermal stability is a desirable characteristics of drugs

Phylomer® Peptides

Advantages of peptides over other biologics classes

Peptides have advantages over larger biologics (eg. MAbs)

• patient friendly delivery - several marketed intranasal spray formulations

• can be made synthetically at low cost

• avoids additional costs due to antibody-associated ‘royalty stack’

• can be delivered into cells

• can exhibit good tissue penetration due to smaller size

Antibody (~150 kilodaltons) Phylomer (~3 kilodaltons)

Page 8: Phylogica Ltd ASX: PYC Doug Wilson

Peptide market growing nearly twice as fast as small molecules

• 33 marketed peptides represent $4 billion market (excluding insulin)

• 178 peptides in clinical development

• 400 peptides in advanced preclinical development (tip of the iceberg)

• virtually all peptides come from analogues of natural peptides

Phylogica has developed next generation of peptide therapeutics

• most diverse set of peptide structures available

• bigger pool of different structures to choose compounds from

• libraries yield best quality and quantity of drug prototypes available

Addressing the challenge of peptide drug discovery

Page 9: Phylogica Ltd ASX: PYC Doug Wilson

Traditional path to drug development

10-15 year cycle, costly

Most Australian biotech’s can progress only 1-2 candidates

High risk: requires long-term investment and mostly fails

Traditional Biotech Model

De-risking investment in drug development by focusing on drug discovery

Proprietary peptide libraries and screening systems for drug discovery

Maximizing near-term revenue growth through drug discovery alliances

Anticipate 3-4 deals required to reach cash flow sustainability

Entered first major drug discovery alliance with Roche in December 2009
