At a Glance • Molecular diagnostic company with a proprietary technology platform + significant in house expertise that accurately identifies diseases in People, Pets and Production Animals BEFORE symptoms appear. • Third party validation: Canadian military collaboration on human sepsis. Kills 5.1M annually worldwide. $24B annual health care costs in USA. Once symptoms appear chance of death increase 8% per hour. Phase 1a study – identified all 22 patients 2-3 days BEFORE the symptoms appeared. • Developing and monetizing an IP portfolio of diagnostic tests. • Process is standardized, repeatable, and scalable. • T o date 100% success rate in the identification of motifs for four diseases in humans (sepsis ~3 days), cattle (BSE – 10 months), elk (CWD – 10 months) and rats (radiation – 1 hour). • Business model is to stay within our niche and employ channel partners for distribution. • Low SG&A costs. Burning only $50k CAD per month plus R&D. Full wet lab benefits and large research team through intelligent partnerships. • Third party validation: license agreement for the distribution of production animal diseases with major European pharma for 67 countries. • Industry is attracting capital. Everyone is focused on human cancer. • Test pipeline is ready to expand aggressively.

IP Portfolio - Sepsis Opportunity • CNAD is working with Canadian Department of National • Highest burden of death and medical expenses in hospitals Defense. Mar. 2015 – Completed initial trial utilizing 22 worldwide. test Sepsis patients and a control group of 51 people. – Most expensive in-patient cost in U.S. hospitals - $24B annually. • CNAD is working with Medical University of Graz – Once signs of the disease appear ~20-30% chance of death. • 66 Candidiasis samples • 1.6M cases annually in U.S. with 500,000 deaths. • Expensive and unpredictable to health insurers. • Results: • Over 300 different forms of Sepsis. i.e. bacterial, fungal, etc. – 100% identification of sepsis in patients. • Competitors have developed solutions to diagnose specific forms – Diagnosed infection up to 3 days before any clinical of sepsis a patient has contracted. signs appeared. – These tests are not commonly run until clinical signs appear. • Next steps – Phase 1b bacterial – 33 E. Coli, 27 S.Aureus. Phase 1 Fungal. 66 Candidiasis. • Goal – Biomarkers identified and provisional patents filed by end of 2018.
Human Sepsis PCR Status: Infected Individuals vs. Controls The cycle at which fluorescence from amplification exceeds the background fluorescence The lower the CQ value is the higher is the amount of target CQ difference of 3.3 means 10 fold higher or lower amount of target! Still under evaluation (normalization needed)
Corporate Strategy - Positioning Barbell Strategy Deploy funds to animal diseases Selectively investigate high impact • Quick to market human diagnostics • Quick to cash flow • Massive upside potential • Lower risk to investors • Use non-dilutive funds as much as • Only diseases/conditions with high economic possible to reduce risked capital impact
Corporate Strategy – Business Offering Identification of biomarkers related to diseases or conditions CRO Pure Distribution Collaborative • Margin • CNAD keeps IP • CNAD keeps IP earned on • Royalty share • Samples, studies of Net Sales distribution, IP assigned CNAD bears costs sharing, • • Royalty tail costs disease ID are • unique to deal Appropriate for Appropriate for Unique deal terms large enterprises low risk appetite
Corporate Strategy - Partnering Product Distribution: Samples for New Diagnostic Tests: • Use of channel partners. • Securing human sepsis samples through Medical University of Graz, Canadian Military. • 67 country distribution agreement with Laboratorios Maymo for bovine tests • Agreement with Vetmed Vienna. • Limited sales costs. • Access to one of largest European biobanks. • Multiple partners (never just one). • Scientific Advisory Committee. • Access to new distribution partners via Director • Collaborative partnerships. networks, contracted sell side networks, and other existing contacts. • Accessing large scale manufacturing (sepsis). • In discussion with mid-sized pharma and vet operations. • Opening doors to government at high levels.
