Review of Operations
PITNEY PHARMACEUTICALS PTY LIMITED – 100% OWNED SUBSIDIARY
PharmAust Limited (PharmAust) specialises in repurposing approved and marketed products and is currently focused on the
development of therapeutics for cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and viral infections for humans. PharmAust's veterinary
program, now approaching the commercialisation phase, is aimed at cancer for pet dogs. PharmAust’s lead molecule for this
purpose is monepantel (MPL). MPL is a veterinary drug registered and owned by a major pharmaceutical company for use as an
anti-parasitic in many global jurisdictions, however key patents owned by Elanco are due to expire in major global markets in
2024 and 2025. PharmAust discovered independently that MPL interacts in a previously unrecognized ”off-target” fashion with the
mTOR (mechanistic Target of Rapamycin) pathway, an important regulatory pathway in mammalian cells. It is apparent that
molecules such as MPL that target the mTOR pathway have a relevant and realised therapeutic value in a wide range of diseases.
PharmAust’s wholly owned subsidiary Pitney Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd (Pitney) owns a number of granted patents offering
protection for the use of MPL as a cancer therapy and providing coverage for the use of MPL in neurodegenerative diseases
such as Motor Neurone Disease (MND), Parkinson’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease. Pitney has additional novel patents to cover
the use of MPL in the treatment of viral infections and was granted a European Patentfor the use of MPL in combination with other
anti-cancer therapies for cancer. The fact that MPL is already approved and marketed for use in food chain animals in a number
of major jurisdictions (EU/UK and Australia) means that the drug development process for MPL is simpler, carries less risk and more
cost effective than it would be if MPL was a new API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient).
Phase I/II Human Trial in Motor Neurone Disease
PharmAust previously announced it has received a funding commitment of A$881,085 for a Phase ½ clinical trial examining the
effects of MPL in Motor Neurone Disease (MND), otherwise known as Lou Gehrig’s disease or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
These funds have been granted by FightMND, the largest independent funder of MND research in Australia. The trial’s lead
Principal Investigator is Professor Susan Mathers of Calvary Health Care, Bethlehem, Melbourne and includes a second trial site
headed by Professor Dominic Rowe of the Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Research Faculty of Medicine and Health Research
at Macquarie University in Sydney. The funding agreement provides that PharmAust will own all intellectual property generated
from the trial.
The trial has successfully completed treatment of 3 dosing Cohorts. The dose of MPL has been incrementally increased from one
cohort to the next to establish the recommended Phase 2 dose. Cohort 4 is currently in progress. Importantly, all patients have
-4-
2023 ANNUAL REPORT AND STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PharmAust Limited and its Controlled Entities
elected to continue on MPL treatment with some patients receiving MPL treatment for up to 10 months with no signs of significant
side effects and appeared "stable".
An interim analysis of preliminary biomarkers and efficacy endpoints was undertaken based on the recommendation by
thePrincipal Investigator. The interim analysis pointed to a possible benefit. PharmAust expects to proceed to a Phase 2 clinical
trial given the favourable efficacy biomarker results and planning is underway.
PharmAust expects that in due course MPL could receive Orphan Drug Designation by the United States (US) Food and Drug
Administration forMND/ALS. Such designations come with a number of financial incentives and regulatory development benefits.
The Orphan Drug Act provides for granting special status to a drug or biological product to treat a rare disease or condition upon
request of a sponsor.
Factors Supporting PharmAust’s Focus on MPL as Treatment for Neurodegenerative Disease:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Precedent published literature implicates mTOR pathways in the control of neurological diseases.
PharmAust has published preclinical research demonstrating that MPL impinges upon molecular cascades relevant to
correct induction of autophagic flux relevant to the clearance of misfolded neurodegenerative causing proteins.
PharmAust has demonstrated MPL’s capacity to cross the blood brain barrier, making MPL a rare drug that inhibits mTOR
signaling while being able to act directly on the brain following oral administration as a tablet.
MPL’s strong safety profile in the clinic and in animal models including the veterinary cancer studies will support development
through Phase I/II trials for the tablet.
FightMND, Australia's largest independent funder of MND research, is investing $881,085 in PharmAust’s Phase1/2 MND study.
Phase 2 Canine Trials
PharmAust has made significant progress in the clinical trials of its primary drug candidate, Monepantel (MPL). PharmAust is
endeavouring to repurpose MPL as a safe and effective cancer treatment without the associated side effects of chemotherapy..
Veterinary trial centres have been set up in Australia, New Zealand and the United States to evaluate the anti-cancer benefit of
MPL in dogs diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma and which have not received any treatment for the lymphoma. PharmAust is
recruiting pet dogs with untreated B cell lymphoma to finalise the Phase 2 evaluation of the drug MPL, which has demonstrated
statistically effective anti-cancer activity in the Phase 2 trial.
PharmAust has determined an optimum drug plasma range for anti-cancer activity and minimal side effects.
Two dogs have had a partial response (>30% decrease in cancer tumour) and ten others have enjoyed a stable disease response.
One patient (Louie the Beagle) surpassed one year with stable disease and continued excellent Quality of Life (QoL) In
comparison, the most common side effects of a dog being treated with chemotherapy include gastrointestinal effects (vomiting,
diarrhea or loss of appetite) and decreases in blood cell counts. Also, during chemotherapy, owners need to take precautions
when handling their pets and their waste. Drugs may be excreted in the urine and faeces, so it is not advisable for children to
play with their pets for a therapy specific duration.
Post-trial, some veterinarians and the respective pet owners have elected to continue MPL treatment and, sometimes, in
combination with prednisolone. The combination of MPL with prednisolone has provided extension of survival three-fold, to a
median of150 days. Canines treated with MPL during the trial and after the trial at this optimum level experienced a high quality
of life and minimum adverse events were reported. These canine outcomes bode well for further human cancer trials to be
pursued.
Phase 2 Human Cancer Trial
Further to the responses and outcomes in canines, PharmAust continues to take key steps towards progressing the evaluation of
MPL in human trials. Clinical interest has focused on leukaemia, glioblastoma, oesophageal, gastrointestinal, ovarian and
pancreatic cancers.
Factors Supporting PharmAust’s Focus on MPL as an Anti-Cancer Drug:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The successful reformulation of MPL by BRI/Catalent into a robust and suitable tablet formulation.
Demonstration of MPL activity against naturally occurring B-cell lymphoma in dogs.
Demonstration of activity against a key cancer marker in humans and canines.
Demonstration of and better understanding of the very good safety profile in animals tested to date. as well as the human
participants in the clinical trial conducted at the Royal Adelaide Hospital.
5. Extensive preclinical R&D package evaluating MPL in many cancers and in many species.
6. Publications in peer-review journals describing anti-cancer activity of MPL in preclinical models.
7. The fact that MPL is already approved for the treatment of parasitic infections in farm animals, which implies that the drug
has received extensive regulatory consideration as it is used in food-chain animals.
8. The provision by Elanco of 25 kg of GMP-quality MPL.
9. The independent capacity to produce GMP-quality MPL and the GMP-quality Pitney-owned MPL analogues using an
alternative method with an alternative company.
10. The provision of the comprehensive regulatory package by Elanco, enabling data cross reference for successful discussions
with regulatory bodies.

2023 ANNUAL REPORT AND STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PharmAust Limited and its Controlled Entities
EPICHEM PTY LTD - 100% OWNED SUBSIDIARY
On 1 August 2023, David Hodgson and Andrew Hewitt, of Grant Thornton Australia Limited, were appointed as joint and several
liquidators for the administration of the creditor’s voluntary winding-up proceedings for the Company’s 100% owned subsidiary,
Epichem Pty Ltd (Epichem).
A large contributing factor to Epichem’s success over the years has been its long-standing relationship and research contract
with Drugs of Neglected Diseases Initiative (DNDi). This contract funded Epichem to do research into developing new treatments
for neglected diseases.
The contract with DNDI was not renewed past March of 2023 and as a result, Epichem was operating at a loss with the shortfall
being funded by PharmAust.
Epichem, as a Contract Research Organisation (CRO) relies heavily on the pharmaceutical sector which has been significantly
impacted by COVID-19 and other movements in the industry.
The Australian pharmaceutical industry has experienced a significant shift towards contracting off-shore in recent years. This trend
can largely be attributed to the cost of running a CRO in Australia. Many CRO’s have elected to shift or expand their
manufacturing facilities, research and development centres, and clinical trial operations in countries with lower production costs
or emerging markets with high growth potential.
It follows that this shift has led to a decline in local opportunities for contracts and a reduction in domestic employment
opportunities within the industry. While Epichem has remained operational through these times, the increasing overseas presence
raises challenges in terms of securing ongoing contracts when competing against
overseas CRO’s who can operate at a lower cost.
This can be seen through the loss of Epichem’s longstanding contract with DNDi. Funding for the research in this sector has dried
up in Australia with much of the work being awarded to overseas CRO’s who can produce similar work for a reduced cost.
Despite Epichem’s best endeavours, key long term contracts to replace the DNDi contract could not be secured.
PharmAust engaged external advisors to conduct a review of the Epichem business and provide an independent report setting
out the options available to PharmAust on how to restructure, recapitalise or exit the business of Epichem, the consequences of
each option and what each option practically entails. Following review of this report, the Company has determined that it will
not provide any further funding to Epichem.
The decision to wind up Epichem was made in in the best interests of PharmAust shareholders. The voluntary liquidation of Epichem
is not expected to impact upon the rest of PharmAust’s operations and this decision will furthermore enable the Company to
focus all its resources on the clinical development of monepantel in human diseases and the canine anti-cancer and licensing
activities.

2023 ANNUAL REPORT AND STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PharmAust Limited and its Controlled Entities
DIRECTORS' REPORT (Cont.)
Remuneration Report (Audited)
The remuneration report, which has been audited, outlines the key management personnel (KMP) remuneration arrangements
for the consolidated entity, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director and executive of PharmAust Limited.
Remuneration policy
The remuneration of directors and executives of PharmAust Limited has been designed to align director and executive objectives
with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives
based on key performance areas affecting the Company’s financial results. The Board of PharmAust Limited believes the
remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and
manage the Company, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.
All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) and superannuation whilst
some executives receive fringe benefits. The Board reviews executive packages periodically by reference to the Company’s
performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar
industries.
The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed regularly with each executive and is based on factors including
the forecast growth of profits and shareholders’ value.
The remuneration is designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term
growth in shareholder wealth. The goal of the remuneration structures it to align the remuneration packages of the executives with
the Company’s performance and specifically the Company’s earnings and the consequences of the Company’s performance on
shareholder wealth including dividends, returns of capital and capital appreciation.
The executive directors and executives receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government and do not
receive any other retirement benefits. Individuals, however, have the option to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments
towards superannuation.
All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed. Any shares given to directors
and executives will be valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount paid by the director or
executive. Any options granted will be valued by an independent expert using the Black-Scholes, Binomial or any other
methodologies that the independent expert deems appropriate.
The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and
responsibilities. The Board (excluding the relevant director) determines payments to the directors and reviews their remuneration
regularly, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum
aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General
Meeting. Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company.
Voting and comments made at the Company's 2022 Annual General Meeting ('AGM').
At the 2022 AGM, held on 10 November 2022, 85.50% of the votes received supported the adoption of the remuneration report for
the year ended 30 June 2022. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.
Details of remuneration
Details of the nature and amount of each element of remuneration of each key management personnel of the consolidated
entity are set out in the following tables.
