Dear Shareholders iQN, since its inception in 2011, has been a pure play company focused on developing early stage life science assets for its clients or for itself and taking advantage of risk by establishing a sustainable “risk advantage” which is as important for the entry in the investment today as creating an exit in the future. Over the last three years iQN’s financials have improved as the charts in the following commentary on results section signifies, however still sustaining an operational cash burn of $6.5 million. Despite this cash burn, I believe the intrinsic value of the company remains multiple times higher than the market capitalisation of $37.3 million today. This intrinsic value is ascribed to the company by the assets it owns and develops as well as its subsidiary entities FarmaForce (FFC) and Clinical Research Corporation (CRC). My focus in this year’s operational review will be more about the development programs the company is running than the subsidiary entities which are consolidated into this report. iQN’s revenue is generated through three separate streams – commercial sales, capital gains, and Research and Development. Sales of ethical pharmaceuticals and medical devices to physicians and other healthcare practitioners on behalf of our global Biopharma clients through FFC; Research and Development, clinical and medical services to client global Biopharma companies; Incubation and development of Intellectual property on behalf of clients; and Capital gains from ownership of IP. Over the past four years, through a team of scientists, economists, analysts and external collaborators, we have been sourcing, identifying and validating discovery stage life science IP. In a field requiring the most highly skilled labour and scientific innovation to bring products to market, at any given time, the number of “good” opportunities to deploy capital that will be successful and offer a superior investment return is finite hence we have set very rigid and specific criteria of what we look for: Access the asset not the license; we have been looking to assign assignment of the IP as opposed to license the IP. (An assignment of IP is a transfer of ownership whereas an IP license allows the company to use the work without transferring ownership). It’s far more complicated to execute an assignment than it is to license e.g. in 2014 in Australia, 732 licensing agreements were achieved and only 10 assignments. Create vehicles that access the biotech themes for which benefits accrue to the companies, and by extension the shareholders, as opposed to just the customers. Correlate the scientific milestones to the business milestones, adding value to the projects through the creation of early financial exits. Minimize IP acquisition cost, acquiring the asset at realistic price given the development risk and investment necessary to de-risk and commence exit process. In the past, spikes of enthusiasm for the biotech markets have resulted in a very rapid advance in assets prices unjustified by the stage of development and therapeutic area, denoting a distortion in the perception of time by investors in their chase for outsized returns. Today a lot of the investors chasing returns in the biotechnology sector are doing so because of the performance of the past 5 years and not because they have a

Despite this cash burn, Ibelieve the intrinsic value of the company remainsmultiple times higher than themarket capitalisation of$37.3milliontoday.

This intrinsic value is ascribed to the company by the assets it owns and develops aswell as its subsidiaryentitiesFarmaForce(FFC)andClinicalResearchCorporation(CRC).

My focus in this year’s operational review will bemore about the development programs the company isrunningthanthesubsidiaryentitieswhichareconsolidatedintothisreport.

iQN’s revenue is generated through three separate streams– commercial sales, capital gains, andResearchandDevelopment.

• SalesofethicalpharmaceuticalsandmedicaldevicestophysiciansandotherhealthcarepractitionersonbehalfofourglobalBiopharmaclientsthroughFFC;
