EcoBiotics Capital Raising Oversubscribed
Recreational Vehicle business achieves 15% growth
EcoBiotics is pleased to announce that they have successfully raised $3.126m as a result of listing in Wholesale Investor. The funding is to complete further trials and registration of their anti-cancer drug ECB-46 for the veterinarian market. Following registration, EcoBiotics will commercialise the drug globally.
The company, currently listed with Wholesale Investor, is one of the leading manufacturers of mobile homes in Australia. The company is pleased to report an increase in sales during 2009 of over 15% despite the global financial crises.
ECB-46 has achieved 100% success for treatment for solid tumours in a range of tumours in all horses, cats and dogs treated to date. This has resulted in a feature on A Current Affair and also Seven’s Sunrise. Dr Victoria Gordon, CEO of EcoBiotics is very pleased with the results achieved to date. “ With a growing number of animals successfully treated, and with no adverse side effects, EBC-46 is proving to be an exceptional drug with the potential to change the way we view the treatment of many cancers”, Dr Gordon said. 2010 will also see the commencement of Phase 1 Human trials. If successful, the global potential for ECB-46 in the human market is extremely large with expected annual sales to exceed US$1 billion. EcoBiotics may raise a further round of funding in early 2010 to help accelerate these trials. EcoBiotics were advised on the capital raising Steve Hobbs of Achieve Capital, a corporate advisory firm specialising in Health Care.
Globo Hydro Power in pre-IPO phase
On the 30th October an Official Product Launch was held at the Royal Automobile Club of Australia, Sydney, winning the commitment of Industry Professionals, Industry Authorities and Clean/Green Tech Investors towards Globo Hydro Power™ - “Wholesale Investor” magazine Representatives were equally in attendance at this milestone moment. The science behind Globo Hydro Power, as a product, was shared, it’s due diligence reviews conducted by Insurance and Warranty companies were publicly and proudly talked about in detail, together with the reasons why Industry Support is strongly behind this innovation. Globo Hydro Power Limited as the business entity commercialising Globo Hydro Power™, the product, was equally in the spot light with focus on its Pre-IPO investment opportunities available now, significant interest and action arose in this area of opportunity due to Globo Hydro Power’s inclusion in the prestigious investment magazine “Wholesale Investor” (www.wholesaleinvestor.com.au). A viewing of our demonstration motor vehicle proved to be the moment everyone was waiting for, with the “green box in the boot” now on display, any fears of size, safety and user difficulty were all removed, public acceptance of Globo Hydro Power, the product, was assured. And, to cause a show stopper at the event, was the disclosure of future business directions and associated future technologies that will bring about smaller cylinders of hydrogen being in use, following IPO investment and business expansion. For more information about Globo Hydro Power, please their listing on www.wholesaleinvestor.com.au
The company is currently reviewing its product range and has two new models on the drawing board which will bring their range to leading edge innovation and design. The models will be released at the Caravan and Camping Supershow in April 2010 The owner of the business, who now wishes to retire himself, has built a very strong base on which to expand in this sunrise industry. With revenue of around $5 Million the business is ready for its next growth phase and as such represents an ideal opportunity for a new owner with the skills and resources to take it to a $10 Million business. Investors interested in obtaining more information on the business, including a full Information Memorandum can contact John Stevens at Dunross Business Services on (02) 9879 5567 or jbs@dunrossbusiness.com.au
Deep Value Microcap Fund Returns 75.46% for investors Despite a falling market (All Ordinaries –1.95%) our Deep Value Microcap Fund month on month performance was positive +5.44%, bringing the total performance since inception to +75.46% (net of fees). During the month, one of Fund’s holdings, KLM Group was subjected to an off market takeover offer from Programmed Maintenance Services. KLM Group shareholders have been offered a conditional all cash bid of $0.47 per share. Our Deep Value Fund acquired its KLM Group stake at an average price of $0.28. We believe that the bid does not offer fair value for KLM’s business; it also, disappointingly provides no premium for control. We strongly oppose the conditions of the offer, and we will not be tendering the Fund’s shares based on the current terms, which is not in the best interests of our investors. In light of a significantly different economic setting to the one we encountered during the launch of our Deep Value Microcap Fund, we have realigned some of the Fund’s composition. The Fund has sold out of stakes in Amcom, Cash Converters and Infomedia and it has taken positions in companies that have business models that are more operationally leveraged to an expanding local economy. However, all new positions were taken in adherence to our deep value approach. The new companies were acquired at significant discounts to our appraised value. The realignment of our portfolio is consistent with a fundamental shift in the prevailing economic cycle.

New developments for AgriFuels Several exciting new developments have occurred in past few weeks as AgriFuels continues to develop its sweet sorghum based renewable energy and food production project. NEW PRODUCT: Analysis of AgriFuels sweet sorghum by Queensland University of Technology has revealed that waste fibre from the most recent demonstration crop exhibits ideal properties as an input for the manufacture of high quality fibre products. Sugar juice ethanol plants produce substantial clean water outputs and paper production requires large water inputs. A paper production plant alongside an ethanol plant provides an ideal synergy, producing significant shared infrastructure cost savings and providing complimentary co-use of waste products, resulting in reduced environmental impact AND improved overall profitability. NEW CROP TRIALS: In October, AgriFuels planted its third demonstration crop of sweet sorghum in SE QLD, with the objective of comparing five varieties from overseas to determine the variety optimally suited to Australian conditions. Results are expected in January. JV’S AND PARTNERSHIPS: AgriFuels has recently initiated discussions with several potential new joint venture partners to assist in the rapid deployment of the project and may soon enter an exclusive final-stage capital raising with a private equity partner. Investors interested in AgriFuels should contact the company ASAP, as the offer to outside investors is reaching a close More information on AgriFuels can be found on wholesaleinvesor.com.au

Confidence returns to
The Life Sciences Sector Dr Anna Lavelle, CEO of AusBiotech
It has been a turbulent period for all biotechnology companies – both listed and private – but indications are that the tide has now turned and a bright future is ahead. In May 2008 the industry was seriously challenged when the Commercial Ready grant scheme was axed, followed within a few months by the onset of the global financial crisis – bringing to a screeching halt new capital to the market from both public and private investors.
be done in terms of gaining traction with the international business and investment communities and underpinning this is the ASX which serves as a fantastic platform to achieve corporate growth goals,” Mr Hershel added. There has been a visible improvement in the state of the sector with a significant rise in both local and international funding of companies over the last three months, and a clear flow of capital back into the sector opening up a number of new opportunities for Australian biotechs. According to Bioshares analysis $164 million was raised in the third quarter of this year, up from $132 million in the second quarter. This shows a starkly different climate from the fourth quarter in 2008, when only $18 million was raised by 11 companies.
In order to survive the dark times, many biotechs reacted to the global financial crisis by dropping staff, delaying or cutting back clinical trials, in order to preserve cash reserves, until capital became available again. Twelve months on, it is evident the Australian biotech sector has weathered the global financial storm very well and, if sentiment at the recent AusBiotech 2009 annual conference is representative, the sector will emerge from this downturn stronger than ever before. The resilience of the sector is clear – industry analyst Bioshares, have produced a Bioshares Index, which tracks 111 ASX-listed biotech companies and reported that the index rose 33.1 per cent in the September quarter, outperforming the ASX 300 Index, which rose by 20.1 per cent. Indeed the ASX Life Sciences Index (ex-majors) has seen strong and convincing gains over the last three quarters. Part of the reason for the renewed interest in biotech is that confidence has returned, especially given that the sector is now ‘coming of age’ with a growing number of companies advancing into the final stages of commercialisation, and becoming revenue generating, profitable companies. As biotech stocks mature the inherent risks (such as the risk of product failure, regulatory risk and valuation difficulties) are reduced. Furthermore with some of the world’s blockbuster drugs coming off patent over the next five years, the relevance of biotechnology will only grow exponentially, providing investors with ample reason to enter the market now. People must realise that the fundamentals have not changed. The world will always need first class biotechnology - investors will see this after they get over the shock of the last 12 months. The key is to realise the local investment potential ahead of the pack. International investors are well attuned to the investment opportunities within the Australian life sciences market. Attending the inaugural Australasian Life Science Investment Summit in October, Hershel Berry, Managing Partner at Blueprint Life Science Group based in San Francisco said, “It is unanimous that everyone has tremendous respect for Australian life sciences and research and in terms of the technologies that are coming out of Australia...”
Further a growing appetite for private investment in the biotechnology sector points to significant opportunity for the industry’s developing companies. After a turbulent 18 months we are seeing not only market gains, but also strong interest from private investors. Indeed delegate sentiment at AusBiotech 2009 pointed to a general belief that the worst of the global recession is behind us and that the high calibre of Australian R&D coupled with the loosening of the capital markets will ensure the recent strong performance of the sector is sustained over the coming year. Australia’s biotech companies have produced impressive results despite tough operating conditions, highlighting the benefits of the long-term investment strategy that underpins the industry.
Indeed, delegate sentiment at the Summit confirmed Australian life science companies offer compelling investment propositions to international investors. “There are great companies in Australia. There is a lot that can
