1 Bioventix Presentation: October 2017 Bioventix & antibodies for blood testing Bioventix portfolio of antibodies and their advantages 2016/17 results and analysis Business continuity Shareholders & the Board Conclusions & outlook
2 Farnham location 12 staff in a Bioventix- owned property
3 Automated Blood Testing Bioventix creates and manufactures sheep monoclonal antibodies (SMAs). Customers incorporate these antibodies in reagent packs for use on automated blood-testing machines antigen antibody Bioventix sells liquid “physical” SMAs and derives royalties from their downstream use
4 Creating Antibodies Myeloma fusion partner Immortal Secretes nothing of use White blood cell (B cell) mortal Secretes a single antibody Polyethylene glycol (PEG) Bioventix’s business is based on the ability of sheep to make better antibodies than mice Better antibodies can facilitate better tests
5 Why SMAs? (testosterone) In 2003, it became clear that testosterone testing for women was inadequate Roche published their prototype assay in 2008 and launched this assay in 2009 It is the Bioventix antibody that made this possible
6 Why SMAs? (troponin) Troponin is a component of heart muscle that leaks out after a heart attack A new improved Siemens assay for troponin Magnetic Fluorescent was released in ex-US markets in May 2017 particle label
7 Thyroid Clinician education and familiarisation and the need to change hospital protocols is likely to mean sales from the new Siemens assay gear up during 2018 Heart failure Fertility

12 Business Dynamics +1 year Prototype test 2-4 years Old test = 3-5 years total Bioventix takes about 1 year to make antibodies Customers take 2-4 years to: formulate a prototype test; conduct field trials; submit data to regulatory authorities; obtain marketing approval This is an impediment to revenue growth – but delivers longer term revenue continuity
