Commentary

Comment

  • Other Services revenue excluding revenue generated from LifeScan comprises revenue from testing services undertaken by HRL and other services undertake on behalf of our partners
  • Other Services revenue excluding revenue generated from LifeScan was A$1.9 million, up from A$1.8 million in the pcp
  • During 2018, LifeSan exercised its right to convert its obligation to pay quarterly service fees to UBI. Accordingly UBI will not receive any further quarterly service fees beyond 2018

R&D Strategy: Why a non-medical device platform?

Overall assessment concludes faster & cheaper development cycle compared to medical devices

  • Alternative Industries: Food & Drink industry, no true point of use device commercially available
    Leverage Existing Work: Ability to use previously developed meter design, existing electrochemical
  • cell technology, and existing manufacturing process
    Regulatory Complexity: Focus on in-process testing (lower regulatory complexity) and no regulatory
  • authority review required prior to launch
    Project Timelines: Lower regulatory complexity has reduced development timelines, no complicated
  • clinical trials required
  • Project Costs: No large investment required (given no clinical trials), current infrastructure is suitable

16

R&D Strategy: Introducing Free Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Test

UBI is developing an in-process test to monitor the concentration of free SO2 during wine production

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is widely used in wine production as a preservative to protect wine from negative

effects of oxygen exposure and microbial contamination during ageing/storage

SO2 allows wine to continue developing safely throughout its entire lifetime

SO2 occurs naturally as a result of the fermentation process, but requires a supplement to fully

protect the wine

SO2 levels in wine is regulated, with the wine manufacturer requiring a final SO2 concentration value

from an accredited laboratory to export

UBI is developing an in-process test to monitor the concentration of free SO2 during wine production

17

R&D Strategy: Wine Industry Overview

The wine manufacturing market is stable and well established, with similar core processes and in-process testing performed worldwide.

Large Winery Footprint, comprising >100,000 wineries EU/RoW, 10,043 wineries in United States and

2,954 wineries in Australia and New Zealand1

Three main in-process tests conducted during wine production: 1) Free Sulfur Dioxide to confirm

sulphite present to preserve wine, 2) Malic Acid to confirms wine does not have flat or sour taste, and 3) Residual Sugars to confirm dry wine is not sweet

Global market for the three main in-process tests (above) is estimated at 70 million tests annually2

2. Free Sulfur Dioxide ~20 million tests annually, Malic Acid ~10 million tests annually and Residual Sugars ~40 million tests annually - UBI estimate

Market Opportunity: Point of Use Testing

Wine testing cannot replace the skills of the wine-maker, but providing real-time data can allow the wine-maker to optimize production and produce wines of a consistently high quality

  • High Accuracy (perceived)
  • Complex to Run
  • 20 minutes test time
  • Set Up > ~$1K
  • Reagents > ~$7-$15
  • High Accuracy
  • Complex to Run
  • High Throughput
  • 15-20minutes test time
  • Set Up > ~$ 50K
  • Reagents > ~$150

Testing

Performed in

Laboratory

(onsite or external)

  • High Accuracy
  • Complex to Run
  • 20 minutes test time
  • Set Up > ~$2K
  • Reagents > ~$35-$75

More Frequent Testing

  • No specialist operator
  • Ease of use
  • Cheaper set up
  • Cheaper test price
  • No dangerous chemicals

Growth

Opportunity

Continued Use of Preservatives

  • Preservative concentrations are regulated
  • SO2 industry standard preservative

Point of Use Testing

  • Immediate adjustment to the wine manufacturing process if required
  • Platform for In-Process Testing (multiple tests)

20

Market Opportunity: Market Differentiator

UBI's product meets all parameters1

Cost Efficiency: Current test cost ~A$15/sample at winery or lab (with overnight shipping costs). UBI strip

  • cost is substantially lower than this
    Time Efficiency: Current lab test time 24hrs+ (including shipping) and winery test time of ~20 minutes,
  • compared to UBI test time ~1 minute
    Usability: Simple to use with no special skills required, no sample preparation and no dangerous chemicals -
  • likely to lead to increased number of tests
    Quality: Early data indicates suitable performance for a non-lab test, simple test allows better monitoring
  • and quality of wine and low regulatory barriers
  • Lab Test: Point of use test accessible to all wineries

5. Strategic Considerations

22

FY20 Priorities

Comfortable cash position sufficient to drive strategic initiatives

  • Increase Xprecia Stride™ revenue by channelling new customers and distributors
  • Increase HRL revenues through sales and marketing initiatives
  • Undertake research and development work for the wine testing platform
  • Cost savings initiatives
  • Identify, investigate and evaluate inorganic growth options
