EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
This registration statement contains two forms of prospectus, as set forth below:
 
§  
Public Offering Prospectus.  A prospectus to be used for the public offering by the registrant of up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Public Offering Prospectus”); and
§  
Selling Shareholders Prospectus.  A prospectus to be used in connection with the potential resale by the selling shareholders listed on page SS-4 hereof of up to 14,383,174 shares of our common stock (the “Selling Shareholders Prospectus”).
 
The Public Offering Prospectus and the Selling Shareholders Prospectus will be identical in all respects except for the following principal points:
 
§  
they contain different front covers;
§  
the Shares Registered for Resale section is included in the Selling Shareholders Prospectus;
§  
they contain different Plan of Distribution sections;
§  
they contain different Use of Proceeds sections;
§  
a Selling Shareholders section is included in the Selling Shareholders Prospectus; and
§  
they contain different back covers.
 
The registrant has included in this registration statement, after the financial statements, a set of alternate pages to reflect the foregoing differences between the Public Offering Prospectus and the Selling Shareholders Prospectus.
 
Investors who receive the Public Offering Prospectus from the company will all be potential investors in the public offering. The purpose of the alternative prospectus in connection with the resale offering is that the selling shareholders, whose shares are being registered in the Selling Shareholders Prospectus, will be responsible for delivering the alternative prospectus in connection with the sales made by such selling Shareholders.

 
 

 
 
The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed.  These securities may not be sold until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission of which this prospectus is a part becomes effective.  This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

PROSPECTUS
 
5,000,000 Shares of Common Stock
 
This prospectus relates to the sale of a minimum amount of 500,000 (the “Minimum Shares”) and a maximum of up to 5,000,000 (the “Maximum Shares”) shares of our common stock that we are offering on a best efforts basis for up to ninety (90) days following the date of this prospectus at a fixed price of $1.50, which period may be extended by the company for up to an additional ninety (90) day period. If all shares being offered by the company are sold, we will receive an aggregate of $7,500,000, less approximately $50,000 in expenses.  

Since this Offering is being done on a best-efforts basis, we may receive no proceeds if we are not successful in selling the Minimum Shares.

Funds received for subscriptions of up to the Minimum Shares will be placed into escrow.  Following the sale of the Minimum Shares, any subscriptions in excess of the Minimum Shares, up the number of Maximum Shares, will be accepted on a rolling basis. Once we accept subscriptions in excess of the Minimum Shares, the funds will be deposited into an account maintained by us and be immediately available to us.
 
This offering is a self-underwritten offering and there will be no underwriter involved in the sale of the shares.  We intend to offer the Shares through our officers and directors who will not be paid any commission for such sales.  The company’s officers and directors may be deemed “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any commissions or discounts given to any such officers and directors may be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933.

No public market currently exists for the shares being offered. The shares being offered by the selling shareholders will be sold at $1.50 per share until such time as the company’s shares of common stock are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices.

Our common stock is presently not listed on any national securities exchange. Subsequent to the initial filing date of this registration statement on Form S-1, in which this Prospectus is included, we intend to have an application filed on our behalf by a market maker for approval of our common stock for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board quotation system.  No assurance can be made, however, that we will be able to locate a market maker to submit such application or that such application will be approved.

The company is currently in the development stage and has minimal operations and revenues to date and there can be no assurance that the company will be successful in furthering its operations and/or revenues .  Persons should not invest unless they can afford to lose their entire investment.  Before purchasing any of the shares covered by this Prospectus, carefully read and consider the risk factors included in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on Page 5 .  These securities involve a high degree of risk, and prospective purchasers should be prepared to sustain the loss of their entire investment.  There is currently no public trading market for the securities.  

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined whether this prospectus is truthful or complete.  Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus.  You should read the entire prospectus carefully including the section entitled “Risk Factors” before making an investment decision.  Propanc Health Group Corporation, is referred to throughout this prospectus as “Propanc,” “we,” “our” or “us.”

Our Company

We are a research and development company whose primary activity is to develop new treatments for chronic diseases, in particular , cancer.  We have generated very limited revenue, have no cancer treatment products available to market and have no products which have reached the clinical trial stage.  We require substantial additional financing to develop our products.
 
In January 29, 2011, we completed an exchange offer with the shareholders of Propanc Pty Ltd., an Australian entity, which is now our operating subsidiary.  Pursuant to the exchange offer, each shareholder of Propanc Pty Ltd. received one share of our common stock for every share of Propanc Pty Ltd. that such shareholder owned , and as a result thereof, we issued an aggregate of 64,700,525 shares of our common stock the shareholders of Propanc Pty Ltd.  On the date of the exchange offer, the 64,700,525 shares of Propanc Pty Ltd., common stock that were exchanged for shares in Propanc Health Group Corporation represented 100% of total stock of Propanc Pty Ltd at that time.  

The nature of operations of the Australian subsidiary prior to the exchange offer was, and continues to be, focused on research and development activities for chronic diseases, in particular cancer.  Since the establishment of the Australian subsidiary in late 2007, James Nathanielsz has served as CEO and in collaboration with its directors, established the company’s research and development programs, set up joint research collaborations with academic institutions and developed its intellectual property base for commercial purposes.

We had nominal assets and liabilities as of the time of the exchange offer.  All historical references in this prospectus are to Propanc Australia.  All references in this prospectus are to U.S. dollars.

Corporate Information

We are a Delaware corporation formed on November 23, 2010.  Our principal executive offices are located at 576 Swan Street, Richmond, VIC, 3121, Australia.  Our phone number is +61(0)39208-4182 and our website can be found at www.propanc.com.  The information on our website does not form a part of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
 
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.  You should carefully consider the following risk factors before deciding whether to invest in Propanc. If any of the events discussed in the risk factors below occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially and adversely affected.  In such case, the value and marketability of the common stock could decline.

Risks Relating to our Business

Our ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt absent obtaining adequate new debt or equity financings.

Our continued existence is dependent upon us obtaining adequate working capital to fund all of our operations.  Working capital limitations continue to impinge on our day-to-day operations, thus contributing to continued operating losses.   For the year ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, we have sustained net losses of $443,849 and $842,487, respectively.  Further, as of March 31, 2011, we had only $54 in cash, $2,608 in receivables and had an accumulated deficit of $3,192,656 .  Thus, if we are unable to raise funds to fund the research and development of our products, we may not be able to continue as a going concern and you will lose your investment.

Because we are an early stage drug development company with no product near commercialization, we expect to incur significant additional operating losses.

Our Australian subsidiary was organized in 2007. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years as our research, development, pre-clinical testing, and clinical trial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. We have no products that have generated any commercial revenue, do not expect to generate revenues from the commercial sale of our products in the near future, if at all. Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, the following:

successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our products;
 
obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, or other regulatory authority;

establishing manufacturing, sales, and marketing arrangements, either alone or with third parties; and

raising sufficient funds to finance our activities.

We might not succeed at any of these undertakings. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Because we will need to finance our future cash needs through securities offerings, any additional funds that we obtain may not be on terms favorable to us or our shareholders and may be very dilutive.

To date, we have no approved product on the market and have generated no product revenues.  The minimal revenue generated to date relate to a small non-commercial supply of an original three component formulation rather than a commercial sale of our products.  Unless and until we receive approval from the EMA , the FDA or other regulatory authorities for our products, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, we will have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from private or public equity offerings and debt financings.

We may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities, obtain a bank credit facility, or enter into a corporate collaboration or licensing arrangement. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, (if convertible,) will result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could also result in covenants that would restrict our operations. Raising additional funds through collaboration or licensing arrangements with third parties may require us to relinquish valuable rights to our products, future revenue streams, research programs or products, or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us or our shareholders.

 
5

 

If we need additional capital to fund our growing operations, we may not be able to obtain sufficient capital and may be forced to limit the scope of our operations.

A severe recession, or freezing of the global credit markets may adversely affect our ability to raise capital in the future. If adequate additional financing is not available on reasonable terms or at all, we may not be able to undertake expansion and we may have to modify our business plans accordingly.
 
Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate favorabe terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital. Any future capital investments will dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders. In addition, new equity or debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.

Our independent registered accounting firm has expressed concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern indicating the possibility that we may not be able to operate in the future.
 
The report of our independent registered accounting firm expresses concern about our ability to continue as a going concern based on the absence of significant revenues, recurring losses from operations, and our need for additional financing.  We can provide no assurance that we will be able to generate a sufficient amount of revenue, if any, from our business in order to achieve profitability.  It is not possible at this time for us to predict with assurance the potential success of our business. The revenue and income potential of our proposed business and operations are unknown. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, we may be unable to continue our operations and you may lose some or all of your investment in our common stock.

Because our product candidates are in the early stages of development and may never lead to commercially viable drugs, you may lose your investment.

We are a research and development company presently focused on the development of new cancer treatments, all of which are at an early stage of development, which may be effective in treating cancer and have use in reducing the risk of cancer recurrence. Our drug development methods may not lead to commercially viable drugs for any of several reasons. For example, we may fail to identify appropriate compounds, our drug candidates may fail to be safe and effective in additional preclinical or clinical trials, or we may have inadequate financial or other resources to pursue discovery and development efforts for new drug candidates. Our product candidates will require significant additional development, clinical trials, regulatory clearances and additional investment by us before they can be commercialized. If, for any of these reasons, we are unsuccessful at commercializing our drug candidates, you may lose your investment.
 
Our products may cause undesirable side effects that could limit their use, require their removal from the market or prevent further development.
 
Side effects that may be caused by our products could interrupt, delay or halt our development programs, including clinical trials, and could result in adverse regulatory action by the FDA or other regulatory authorities. More severe side effects associated with our products may be also observed in the future. Even if we are able to complete the development of a new product and obtain any required regulatory approval, undesirable side effects could prevent us from achieving or maintaining market acceptance of the product or could substantially increase the costs and expenses of commercializing the product. Negative publicity concerning our products, whether accurate or inaccurate, could also reduce market or regulatory acceptance of our products, which could result in decreased product demand, removal from the market or an increased number of product liability claims, whether or not such claims have merit.
 
Because successful development of our products is uncertain, our results of operations may be materially harmed.

Our development of current and future product candidates is subject to the risks of failure and delay inherent in the development of new pharmaceutical products and products based on new technologies, including but not limited to the following:

delays in product development, clinical testing, or manufacturing;
unplanned expenditures in product development, clinical testing, or manufacturing;
unexpected scientific, non-clinical or clinical findings relating to safety and/or efficacy;
failure to receive regulatory approvals;
emergence of superior or equivalent products;
inability to manufacture our product candidates on a commercial scale on our own, or in collaboration with third parties; and
failure to achieve market acceptance.
 
 
6

 
 
Because of these risks, our development efforts may not result in any commercially viable products. If a significant portion of these development efforts are not successfully completed, required regulatory approvals will not be obtained, or if any approved products are not commercialized successfully, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially harmed.

Because pre-clinical and clinical trials required for our product candidates are expensive and time-consuming and their outcome is uncertain, we may incur significant additional operating expenses which would adversely affect our results of operations.

We have conducted a variety of pre-clinical studies which have provided evidence supporting the potential therapeutic utility of our lead product candidates, PRP and PRP-DCM.  Studies include the in vitro assessment of these product’s key components on cell growth and differentiation, and in vitro combination assays identifying synergistic effects by optimizing the ratios between the key components.
 
In addition, we, together with our scientific founder, Dr Julian Kenyon, have undertaken a retrospective analysis of cancer patients treated with PRP under UK and Australian compassionate access schemes.  This review has generated clinical evidence supportive of the further development of PRP as a potential therapeutic for cancer.
 
However, before regulatory approval can be obtained for the commercial sale of PRP, or any of the product candidates currently under development by us , we will be required to complete formal preclinical studies and then comprehensive clinical trials in order to demonstrate the product’s safety, tolerability and efficacy.   Regulatory approval to market a new product will only be obtained once we can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the EMA , the FDA or other applicable regulatory authority that the product candidate has an acceptable safety profile , is effective in treating the target indication and otherwise meets the appropriate standards required by regulators for approval.

Conducting pre-clinical and clinical trials is a lengthy, time consuming, and expensive process. The length of time may vary substantially according to the type, complexity, novelty, and intended use of the product candidate, and often can be several years or more per clinical trial.  Delays associated with products for which we are directly conducting pre-clinical or clinical trials may cause us to incur additional operating expenses. The commencement and time to completion of clinical trials may be delayed by many factors, including, for example:

  
inability to manufacture sufficient quantities of drug suitable for use in clinical trials;
  
failure to recruit a sufficient number of patients or slower than expected rates of recruitment;
  
modification by regulatory authorities or ethics committees of clinical trial protocols;
  
changes in regulatory requirements for obtaining drug approval;
  
lack of the anticipated effectiveness during clinical trials;
  
emergence of unforeseen safety issues in preclinical or clinical trials;
  
delays, suspension, or termination of clinical trials by the institutional review board responsible for overseeing the study at a particular study site; and
  
government or institutional review board or other regulatory delays or “clinical holds” requiring suspension or termination of the trials.

The results from pre-clinical testing and early clinical trials are not necessarily predictive of results that may be obtained in later clinical trials. Accordingly, even if we obtain positive results from pre-clinical or early clinical trials, we may not achieve the same success in later clinical trials.

Clinical trials may not demonstrate safety and effectiveness to the statistical standards required to obtain the regulatory approvals. The failure of clinical trials to demonstrate adequate safety and effectiveness for the desired indications could harm the development of our products. This failure could cause us to abandon a product and could delay development of other products. Any delay in, or termination of, our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our products which would cause the market price of our shares to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing and, ultimately, our ability to commercialize our products and generate product revenues. Any change in, or termination of, our clinical trials could materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we do not obtain the requisite regulatory approvals we need to market our products, we will not be able to commercialize our products.

We have not applied for nor received the regulatory approvals required for the commercial sale of any of our products in the United States or in any foreign jurisdiction. None of our product candidates has been determined to be safe and effective, and we have not submitted an application to the EMA , FDA or other regulatory authority for any of our products.

It is possible that none of our products will be approved for commercialization. Failure to obtain regulatory approvals, or delays in obtaining regulatory approvals, may adversely affect the successful commercialization of any of the products that we develop, impose additional costs on us, diminish any competitive advantages that we may have, and/or adversely affect our receipt of revenues or royalties.

If we are unable to obtain sufficient and adequate supplies necessary for manufacturing our product, our ability to obtain approval to commercialize our products will be harmed.

In order to minimize our dependency on a single product supplier, it is our intention to source the components of our product from a number of potential suppliers.   We intend to use suppliers able to provide components manufactured to the required Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standard1, with the suppliers providing the product documentation necessary to support our regulatory submission.  Such regulatory authority may require testing and prior review and approval before they permit us to use an intended supplier. The loss of a supplier, or any significant decrease or interruption in supply could interrupt the development and/or testing of our products. Furthermore, the regulatory authority could extend these delays in situations where it requires approval of an alternative supplier. The loss of one of these suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Even if regulatory approval is obtained, our products will be subject to extensive post-approval regulation.

Once a product is approved, numerous post-approval requirements apply, including but not limited to requirements relating to manufacturing, labeling, packaging, advertising and record keeping.  Even if regulatory approval of a product is obtained, the approval may be subject to limitations on the uses for which the product may be marketed, or contain requirements for costly post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. Any such post-approval requirement could reduce our revenues, increase our expenses and render the approved product candidate not commercially viable. In addition, as clinical experience with a drug expands after approval because it is typically used by a greater number and more diverse group of patients after approval than during clinical trials, side effects and other problems may be observed after approval that were not seen or anticipated during pre-approval clinical trials or other studies. Any adverse effects observed after the approval and marketing of a product candidate could result in limitations on the use of such approved product or its withdrawal from the marketplace. Absence of long-term safety data may also limit the approved uses of our products. If we fail to comply with the regulatory requirements of the applicable regulatory authorities, or if previously unknown problems with any approved commercial products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes are discovered, we could be subject to administrative or judicially imposed sanctions or other setbacks, including:
_________
1 The standards used by pharmaceutical and biotech firms to ensure that products meet specific requirements for identity, strength, quality and purity
 
 
8

 
 
restrictions on the products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;
warning letters and untitled letters;
civil penalties and criminal prosecutions and penalties;
fines;
injunctions;
product seizures or detentions;
import or export bans or restrictions;
voluntary or mandatory product recalls and related publicity requirements;
suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals;
total or partial suspension of production; and
refusal to approve pending applications for marketing approval of new products or of supplements to approved applications.
 
If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing regulatory requirements or the promulgation of new regulatory requirements or policies, we or our licensees may lose marketing approval for our products which will impact our ability to conduct business in the future.

The successful commercialization of our products will depend on obtaining coverage and reimbursement for use of these products from third-party payors.

Sales of pharmaceutical products largely depend on the reimbursement of patients’ medical expenses by government health care programs and private health insurers. Without the financial support of the government or third-party payors, the market for our products could be limited. These third-party payors are increasingly challenging the price of and examining the cost effectiveness of medical products and services. Significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved health care products. Third-party payors may not reimburse sales of our products or enable our collaborators to sell them at profitable prices, which would adversely affect our business.
 
If physicians and patients do not accept and use our products, our results of operations will be adversely affected.

Even if the EMA, the FDA or another regulatory authority approves one or more of our product candidates, physicians and patients may not accept and use it. Acceptance and use of our products will depend upon a number of factors including, but not limited to the following:

perceptions by members of the health care community, including physicians, about the safety and effectiveness of our products;
cost-effectiveness of our products relative to competing products;
availability of reimbursement for our products from government or other healthcare payors; and
effective marketing and distribution efforts by us and our licensees and distributors, if any.
 
 
9

 
 
If our current product candidates are approved, we expect sales to generate substantially all of our product revenues for the foreseeable future, and as such, the failure of these products to find market acceptance would harm our business and could require us to seek additional financing.
 
Because we plan on operating in multiple countries, we are exposed to political, economic and other risks that may adversely affect our business.
 
Currently our headquarters are in Australia, but we intend to penetrate other markets in the future. At such time, we will therefore be exposed to risks inherent in international operations. These risks include, but are not limited to:

changes in general economic, social and political conditions;
 
adverse tax consequences;
 
the difficulty of enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through certain legal systems;
inadequate protection of intellectual property;
 
required compliance with a variety of laws and regulations of jurisdictions outside of Australia, including labor and tax laws;
customers outside of the United States may have longer payment cycles;
 
changes in laws and regulations of jurisdictions outside of Australia; and
 
terrorist acts and natural disasters.
 
 
Our business success depends in part on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other regulatory, economic, social and political risks inherent in a multinational business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively manage these risks or that they will not have a material adverse effect on our multinational business or on our business as a whole.

If we lose key management or scientific personnel, cannot recruit qualified employees, directors, officers, or other personnel or experience increases in our compensation costs, our business may materially suffer.

We are highly dependent on our management team, specifically Dr. Julian Kenyon, Mr. James Nathanielsz and Dr. Douglas Mitchell. While we have a current employment agreement with our CEO, Mr. James Nathanielsz and while both Dr. Julian Kenyon and Dr. Douglas Mitchell each have letters of appointment, which outline their respective roles and responsibilities, such employment agreement with Mr. Nathanielsz, and each of the letters of appointment for Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Kenyon, permit the parties thereto to terminate such agreements upon notice. As such, each of these individuals may terminate their relationship with us upon notice. If we lose key employees, our business may suffer. Furthermore, our future success will also depend in part on the continued service of our key scientific and management personnel and our ability to identify, hire, and retain additional personnel. We do not carry “key-man” life insurance on the lives of any of our employees or advisors. We experience intense competition for qualified personnel and may be unable to attract and retain the personnel necessary for the development of our business. Because of this competition, our compensation costs may increase significantly.  

We do not have any independent directors and there is a potential conflict of interest
 
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors, two of whom also serve as officers of the Company. Thus, there is an inherent conflict of interest.

If we fail to establish a method to sell, market or distribute our products, our results of operations would be adversely affected.

We have no experience in the sales, marketing and distribution of pharmaceutical products.  If we fail to enter into arrangements with third parties relative to the provisioning sales and marketing services for any of our future potential product candidates, we would need to develop an internal sales and marketing organization with supporting distribution capability in order to directly market our products. Significant additional expenditures would be required for us to develop such an in-house sales and marketing organization, which would increase our operating cost and may adversely affect our results of operations.

If we do not obtain protection for our intellectual property rights, our competitors may be able to take advantage of our research and development efforts to develop competing drugs.

Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to maintain the confidentiality of our trade secrets and know how, and on our ability to operate and prevent others from infringing our proprietary rights.  We have filed two national patent applications in Australia as well as an international application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty, or PCT. (See Page  28 of this prospectus for a further description.)  The PCT will provide priority for any foreign applications that we may file for these inventions. The applications include claims intended to provide market exclusivity for certain commercial aspects of the product, including the formulation, the methods of making, the methods of using and the commercial packaging of the product.

Because the patent position of biopharmaceutical companies involves complex legal and factual questions, we cannot predict the validity and enforceability of patents with certainty. Our pending patent applications, those we may file in the future or those we may license from third parties may not result in patents being issued. If these patents are issued, they may not provide us with proprietary protection or competitive advantages against competitors with similar technology. The degree of future protection to be afforded by our proprietary rights is uncertain because legal means afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to gain or keep our competitive advantage.
 
Competitors may successfully challenge our patent applications, produce similar drugs or products that do not infringe our patents, or produce drugs in countries where we have not applied for patent protection or that do not respect our patents.

 If any of these events occurs, or we otherwise lose protection for our trade secrets or proprietary know-how, the value of this information may be greatly reduced.  Patent protection and other intellectual property protection are important to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that such protections will prove inadequate.

Legal proceedings or third-party claims of intellectual property infringement may require us to spend substantial time and money and could prevent us from developing or commercializing products.

The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries have been characterized by extensive litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights, and companies have employed intellectual property litigation to gain a competitive advantage. We may become subject to infringement claims or litigation arising out of patents and pending applications of our competitors.  The manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale or importation of our product candidates might infringe on the claims of third-party patents. A party might file an infringement action against us. The cost to us of any patent litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of such litigation or proceedings more effectively because of their substantially greater financial resources. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation or defense of patent litigation or other proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete in the marketplace. Patent litigation and other proceedings may also absorb significant management time. Consequently, we are unable to guarantee that we will be able to manufacture, use, offer for sale, sell or import our product candidates in the event of an infringement action. At present, we are not aware of pending or threatened patent infringement actions against us.
 
As a result of patent infringement claims, or to avoid potential claims, we may choose or be required to seek a license from a third party and would most likely be required to pay license fees or royalties or both. These licenses may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Even if we were able to obtain a license, the rights may be non-exclusive, which could potentially limit our competitive advantage. Ultimately, we could be prevented from commercializing a product or be forced to cease some aspect of our business operations if, as a result of actual or threatened patent infringement claims, we are unable to enter into licenses on acceptable terms. This inability to enter into licenses could harm our business significantly.

In addition to infringement claims against us, we may in the future become a party to other patent litigation or proceedings, including interference or re-examination proceedings filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or opposition proceedings in the European Patent Office regarding intellectual property rights with respect to our products and technology, as well as other disputes regarding intellectual property rights with licensees, licensors or others with whom we have contractual or other business relationships.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Currently there is no public market for our common stock, and we cannot predict the future prices or the amount of liquidity of our common stock.

Currently, there is no public market for our common stock and a public market may never develop.  We are in the process of applying to list our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. However, the Bulletin Board is not a liquid market in contrast to the major stock exchanges. We cannot assure you as to the liquidity or the future market prices of our common stock if a market does develop. If an active market for our common stock does not develop, the fair market value of our common stock could be materially adversely affected. Any public market will follow effectiveness of the registration statement for which this prospectus forms a part of and we cannot predict the price at which we will begin trading or the future prices of our common stock.

If we do not comply with the state regulations in regard to the sale of our common stock or find an exemption there may be potential limitations on the resale of your stock.

With few exceptions, every offer or sale of a security must, before it is offered or sold in a state, be registered or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky laws, of the state(s) in which the security is offered and sold.  Blue sky statutes vary widely and there is very little uniformity in the blue sky filing requirements among state securities laws. As of the date hereof, we intend to offer our common stock upon effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part to potential purchasers in the states of New York, Florida, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Illinois.  While we intend to review the relevant blue sky laws of these states before the distribution of the common stock therein, should we fail to properly register the common stock as required by the respective states or find an exemption from registration,  you may not be able to resell your stock once purchased. 
 
We will be subject to the “penny stock” rules which will adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. We expect the market price of our common stock will be less than $5.00 per share and therefore we will be considered a “penny stock” according to SEC rules. This designation requires any broker-dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules limit the ability of broker-dealers to solicit purchases of our common stock and therefore reduce the liquidity of the public market for our shares should one develop.

Because directors and officers currently and for the foreseeable future will continue to control Propanc, it is not likely that you will be able to elect directors or have any say in the policies of Propanc.

Our shareholders are not entitled to cumulative voting rights. Consequently, the election of directors and all other matters requiring shareholder approval will be decided by majority vote. The directors and officers of Propanc beneficially own approximately 74.8% of our outstanding common stock.  Due to such significant ownership position held by our insiders, new investors may not be able to effect a change in our business or management, and therefore, shareholders would have no recourse as a result of decisions made by management.

In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our officer and directors, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

In the future we may issue preferred stock without the approval of our shareholders, which could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us and could depress our stock price.

Our board of directors may issue, without a vote of our shareholders, one or more series of preferred stock with such rights and preferences.  This could permit our board of directors to issue preferred stock to investors who support us and our management and permit our management to retain control of our business. Additionally, issuance of preferred stock could block an acquisition which could result in both a drop in our stock price and a decline in interest of our common stock.

Since we intend to retain any earnings for development of our business for the foreseeable future, you will likely not receive any dividends for the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

A significant number of our shares will be eligible for sale and their sale or potential sale may depress the market price of our common stock.

Sales of a significant number of shares of our common stock in the public market could harm the market price of our common stock. This prospectus covers 14,383,174 shares of our common stock, which represents approximately 20% of our current issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. As additional shares of our common stock become available for resale in the public market pursuant to this offering, and otherwise, the supply of our common stock will increase, which could decrease its price.  In addition some or all of the shares of common stock may be offered from time to time in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, and these sales may have a depressive effect on the market for our shares of common stock. Subject to certain restrictions beginning on July 29, 2011, a person who has held restricted shares for a period of six months may sell common stock into the market.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This prospectus includes forward-looking statements including statements regarding our liquidity and capital requirements, our beliefs regarding our cancer treatments, expected intellectual property protection and expected clinical trials.

All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this prospectus, including statements regarding our future financial position, liquidity, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.  The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “potential,” “is likely,” “will,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.  These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions described in “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this prospectus.
  
Other sections of this prospectus may include additional factors which could adversely affect our business and financial performance.  New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any risk factor, or combination of risk factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

We are not providing any tax advice as to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the securities offered herein. In making an investment decision, investors are strongly encouraged to consult their own tax advisor to determine the U.S. federal, state and any applicable foreign tax consequences relating to their investment in our securities.

USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We are offering a minimum amount of 500,000 (the “Minimum Shares”) and a maximum of up to 5,000,000 (the “Maximum Shares”) shares of common stock on a best efforts basis at a fixed price of $1.50 per share, and accordingly we would receive gross proceeds of up to $7,500,000, assuming the sale of the Maximum Shares . We intend to use the net proceeds received from the sale of the 5,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the best efforts offering for clinical trials, continued research and development, the expansion of our business and for general working capital.  The remaining funds will be used for working capital. There can be no assurance that we will sell any of such shares and accordingly, we may not receive proceeds from the offering.

In the event that less than the Maximum Shares are sold, we intend to reduce our investment of capital into our portfolio of earlier stage products, and to focus our capital investment on our lead products, PRP and PRP-DCM, with a view to progressing one or both of those products towards a value-adding event.
 
The following table summarizes our plans in respect of the development stage we expect to reach with the maximum proceeds being raised, and the stages we expect to reach if less than the proposed maximum amount of proceeds is obtained.

DETERMINATION OF THE OFFERING PRICE

There is no established public market for our shares of common stock. The offering price for the sale of common stock held by the selling shareholders of $1.50 per share was determined by us arbitrarily. This price bears no relationship whatsoever to our business plan, the price paid for our shares by our founder, our assets, earnings, book value or any other criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the market price, if any, of the common stock that may develop in a trading market after this offering, which is likely to fluctuate.

The $1.50 price of the shares that are being offered on a best efforts basis was arbitrarily determined in order for us to raise up to a total of $7,500,000 in this offering, assuming we are able to sell the Maximum Shares.
 
There are no warrants, rights or convertible securities associated with this offering.
 
DILUTION

Our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2011 was approximately $95,000, or $0.00 per share of common stock based on 64,700,525 shares of common stock outstanding as of such date. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2011. Dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of common stock immediately after completion of this offering.

After giving effect to the sale of all the shares being sold pursuant to this offering at the offering price of $1.50 per share, and after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us in the amount of $50,000, our net tangible book value would be approximately 7,545,000, or $0.11 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.11 per share of common stock to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $1.39 per share, or 92.7% per share, to new investors purchasing the shares in this offering.

MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK

There is no public market for our common stock.  After the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we intend to try to identify a market maker to file an application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, to have our common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.

Although our common stock is not currently listed on a public exchange, we will be filing to obtain a listing on the OTC Bulletin Board when the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective by the SEC. In order to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.  However, sales by a selling shareholder must be made at the fixed price of $1.50 until a market develops for the stock. In the event we are successful in our attempts to have a market maker quote our stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, we will need to comply with ongoing reporting requirements in order to insure that the market maker will continue to quote our stock.

Our common stock may never be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or, even if quoted, a liquid or viable market may not materialize. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for our shares will develop, or, if developed, that it will be sustained.

As of the date of this prospectus, there were 16 shareholders of record.

Beginning July 29, 2011, 18,110,950 shares may be sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act by non-affiliates.  The remaining shares may be sold by affiliates subject to the restrictions of Rule 144.   A person who is one of our affiliates, or has been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock that are deemed restricted securities for at least six months would be entitled after such six-month holding period to sell his or her securities, provided that he or she sells an amount that does not exceed 1% of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding (or 724,158 shares if the Minimum Shares is sold, or 769,158 in the event that the Maximum Shares is sold pursuant to this offering) immediately after this offering (or, if our common stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the average weekly trading volume of the shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale), subject to the continued availability of current public information about us, compliance with certain manner of sale provisions, and the filing of a Form 144 notice of sale if the sale is for an amount in excess of 5,000 shares or for an aggregate sale price of more than $50,000 in a three-month period.

Dividend Policy

We have not paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not plan to pay such dividends in the foreseeable future.  Our Board of Directors will determine our future dividend policy on the basis of many factors, including results of operations, capital requirements, and general business conditions. Dividends, under Delaware General Corporation Law, may only be paid from our net profits or surplus. To date, we have not had a fiscal year with net profits and do not have surplus.
 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a research and development company whose primary activity is to develop new treatments for chronic diseases, in particular cancer.  We have generated very limited revenue, have no cancer treatment products available to market and have no products which have reached the clinical trial stage.  We require substantial additional financing to develop our products.
 
Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.  The results discussed below are of the Company and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, Propanc Pty Ltd .

For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010

Revenue

We did not generate any revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 nor any for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.  We sustained net losses of $1,498,293 and $293,874, respectively, primarily due to recording of consulting fees paid and stock-based compensation expense in connection with the issuance of shares for services.

 
15

 

Administration Expense

Administration expense increased by $1,051,442 to $1,208,412 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 as compared with $156,970 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. This increase is primarily attributable to $816,365 of consulting fees paid to Churchill and Associates for financial consulting work, $113,474 of stock based compensation expense recorded in connection with the shares issued to Churchill and Associates and $100,550 of accounting and audit expense.

Occupancy Expense

Occupancy expense decreased by $447 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 due to relocation of office space to a location with a lower rental rate.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and Development expense increased by $338,201 to $362,585 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 as compared with $24,384 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. This is principally attributable to expenses incurred as a continuation of the initial work undertaken at University of Bath and University of Granada. This work is centered on additional cell cultures and animal studies, investigation of new combinations of ingredients selected, which were designed to enhance the effects of the proenzymes and create new patentable opportunities.

Interest Expense/Income

For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 interest expense decreased to $0 from $103,722 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2010.  This is primarily attributable to conversion of interest bearing loans into common stock held by two directors and the CEO during fiscal 2010.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2010 compared to the Year ended June 30, 2009

Revenue

For the fiscal year 2010, we generated no revenue as compared to $2,657 of revenue in fiscal year 2009. The revenue of $2,657 in 2009 is related to the sale to European Nutripharm ENP for a supply of an unlicensed medicine (pancreatic proenzyme formulation) for the treatment of metastatic cancer patients at the Dove Clinic. A Limited Distributor Deed between Propanc and ENP Limited recognizes the intellectual property rights in respect of the unlicensed medicine supplied by ENP to Dove Clinic, where ENP paid to Propanc 25% of the wholesale purchase price payable for the unlicensed medicine. Our management believes, although no assurance can be given, that there will be no potential ramifications to the company, whether legal or from a liability standpoint, relating to the supply of unlicensed medicine to the Dove Clinic as such was undertaken by The Dove Clinic Ltd under informed consent via the UK Specials License Scheme.

 Administration Expense

Administration expense increased by $421,275 to $680,110 for the year ended June 30, 2010 as compared with $258,835 for the year ended June 30, 2009.  This increase is primarily attributable to the recording of stock based compensation expense during the year 2010 in connection with the issuance of shares issued during 2010 for services rendered to the company of approximately $476,000.

Occupancy Expense

Occupancy expense decreased by $2,405 or 17% for the year ended June 30, 2010 due to the relocation of our office to a location with a lower rental rate.  

Research and Development Expenses

Research and Development expense decreased by $87,338 or 72% for the year ended June 30, 2010 as compared with $121,369 for the year ended June 30, 2009.  This is primarily attributable to reduced funding being made available for further research and development work.

Interest Expense/Income

Interest expense increased by $62,152 to $116,674 for the year ended June 30, 2010 as compared with $54,522 for the year ended June 30, 2009.  This is primarily attributable to additional shareholder loans offered to the company from two of the directors for year ended June 30, 2010 as compared to June 30, 2009.

Net cash used in operations was $191,509 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 compared to $408,350 for the same period in 2009.   This decrease was primarily attributable to our net loss in 2010 of $(842,487), offset by stock-based compensation expense of $176,705 and $299,737 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $172,708.  In 2009 net cash used in operations of $(408,350) was primarily attributable to net loss of $(443,849) offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $33,267.

There were no cash transactions from investing activities in fiscal year 2010 and 2009.

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 were $180,810 compared to $280,178 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we received $91,810 and $0, respectively, from the sale of common stock.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we received $89,000 and $280,174, respectively, in loan proceeds.

We have substantial capital resource requirements and have incurred significant losses since inception.  As of March 31, 2011, we had $54 in cash.  Based upon our current business plans, we will need considerable cash investments to be successful.  Such capital requirements are in excess of what we have in available cash and what we currently have commitment for.  Therefore, we do not have enough available cash to meet our obligations over the next 12 months.

On August 3, 2010 we entered into an Investment Banking & Listing Agreement with Churchill and Associates, LLC (“C&A”), a financial services consulting firm located in Atlanta, GA, to provide certain business consulting services involving: (i) assisting with causing our common stock to trade on the OTC markets in the U.S., (ii) assisting in negotiating any proposed equity and/or debt financings; and (iii) interfacing with investor and public relations firms and presenting us to the investment community.  On September 16, 2010, we entered into an additional Investment Banking & Listing Agreement with C&A which provided for services involving assisting us in locating certain targets to acquire and analyzing and negotiating any proposed agreements to acquire those targets.   As compensation for services in connection with the August 3, 2010 agreement, C&A received $300,000 in consulting fees.  As compensation for the September 16, 2010 agreement, C&A received $467,000, which consisted of $67,000 in consulting fees and $400,000 as a down payment toward prospective acquisitions. On June 6, 2011, we terminated both agreements. The Company is currently evaluating its position with respect to C&A. No affiliation exists between Propanc and C&A.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”.  This update provides amendments to Topic 820 to provide more robust disclosures about (1) the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, (2) the valuation techniques and inputs used, (3) the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and (4) the transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3.  The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”.  This update addresses both the interaction of the requirements of Topic 855, “Subsequent Events”, with the SEC’s reporting requirements and the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosures provision related to subsequent events (paragraph 855-10-50-4).  The amendments in this update have the potential to change reporting by both private and public entities, however, the nature of the change may vary depending on facts and circumstances.  The adoption of ASU 2010-09 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”.  This update clarified the classification of an employee share based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying security trades.  This update will be effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted.  We do not expect the provisions of ASU  2010-13 to have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Critical Accounting Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.  The following items in our financial statements require significant estimates and judgments:

Accounting for Income Taxes.  We are governed by the income tax laws of the Australian Taxing Authority. We follow FASB ASC 740 when accounting for income taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

We have adopted provisions of ASC 740, Sections 25 through 60, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes."  These sections provide detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of ASC 740 and in subsequent periods. Upon the adoption of ASC 740, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. During the years ended June 30, 2010 no adjustments were recognized for uncertain tax benefits. All years from 2008 through 2010 are still subject to audit.  Any change in the income tax laws of Australian Taxing Authority or significant change in the tax basis of our assets and liability could result in a significant change in our estimate of tax position.

Related Party Transactions
 
From inception through June 30, 2010, we borrowed approximately $370,000 from three directors, one of whom is also an officer of the company such loans had no specific repayment terms and bore interest at a rate of 30% per annum. The loans were to be convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion rate equal to the initial price we sold our stock, which is $0.16.   On May 13, 2010, the entire outstanding amount on the loans and accrued interest due to the directors was converted into 3,305,615 shares of common stock.

During fiscal year 2011, we borrowed additional sums from a shareholder .  These advances are non-interest bearing.  The total amount owed the shareholder at August 16 , 2011 is $94,850.50.  The shareholder has agreed that the entire amount outstanding will be converted into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share.

BUSINESS

Overview

Propanc Health Group Corporation is a development stage healthcare company whose current focus is the development of new cancer treatments for patients with solid tumors such as pancreatic and colorectal cancer.

Propanc, together with its scientific and oncology consultants, has developed a rational, composite formulation of anti-cancer compounds which together exert a number of anti-cancer actions.   Propanc’s leading products, PRP and PRP-DCM, are novel, patented suppository formulations based on proenzymes, which are inactive precursors of enzymes.  There is a substantial body of literature on the potential utility of both proenzymes and enzymes in the treatment of cancer, and Propanc is of the view that its proprietary products PRP and PRP-DCM will provide a potent, multi-pronged attack on cancerous cells.

In the near term, Propanc’s development target is patients with limited remaining therapeutic options for the treatment of solid tumors such as colorectal or pancreatic tumors.  The data generated to date suggests that Propanc’s lead product, PRP, is well tolerated, and hence in the longer term, Propanc will be targeting the development of its lead product as a treatment for earlier stage cancer, and also as a preventative for patients at high risk of developing cancer –eg. those diagnosed with precancerous diseases, or patients identified as being at high risk of developing cancer based on genetic analysis.
 
Company History
 
Propanc’s scientific roots date back almost 100 years to the work of Professor John Beard at the University of Edinburgh in the UK whose pioneering work on tumor cell biology and potential new approaches to treating cancer by targeting specific pathways which kill off cancer cells, but leave healthy cells alone.  In more recent times interest in the work of Professor Beard has re-emerged, driven by the insights into his work offered with modern day knowledge of tumor cell and molecular biology.
 
Work over the last fifteen years by other scientists and clinicians, including Dr. Josef Novak in the US and a since-retired oncologist, Dr. Frantisek Trnka, from the Czech Republic, has shined new light on the therapeutic potential of Professor Beard’s insights .

In early 2007, Dr. Julian Kenyon, the Medical Director of the Dove Clinic in the United Kingdom and now a director of our company, and Dr. Douglas Mitchell, also a director, further developed the therapeutic concepts of Beard and identified strategies which could improve upon the therapeutic potential of Beard’s original ground-breaking work.  In 2007, Drs. Kenyon and Mitchell received approval from the UK and Australian regulatory authorities respectively to treat cancer patients with a novel, suppository formulation of proenzymes.  The approval to undertake this patient treatment was provided in the UK by the MHRA under their ‘Specials’ regulations designed for patients who have special clinical needs that cannot be met by licensed medicinal products, and in Australia by the TGA under the Special Access Scheme, a mechanism which provides for the import and/or supply of an unapproved therapeutic good for a single patient, on a case by case basis.  No suppository formulation of the proenzymes was available and it was necessary for a novel suppository formulation to be manufactured specifically for these patients. The suppository formulation was developed by Drs Kenyon and Mitchell in an effort to improve on results reported in the literature pertaining to the potential therapeutic use of enzymes in cancer treatment.  To date, proenzyme suppositories have not been available for commercial use for the treatment of cancer.
 
Forty-six late stage cancer patients suffering from a range of malignancies in the UK and Australia received treatment with the proenzyme suppositories over periods of time ranging from 1 month to in excess of 17 months.  A retrospective patient history review was undertaken by Dr Kenyon, and this report was subject to review by Professor Klaus Kutz who, at the time of the review, was an independent consultant in clinical pharmacology and safety, specializing in oncology.  It should be noted that, as this was not a formally constituted clinical trial but a retrospective review of the patient notes and that the data is incomplete with some details not recorded in the patient notes, with some patients discontinuing treatment for a variety of reasons, and some patients being lost to follow up.  In addition, there were no predefined treatment or control groups, no formal end-points, and no statistical analysis was or could reasonably be conducted.  Of the approximately 50% of patients for whom there is sufficient data, 16 lived substantially longer than the treating clinician predicted, based on their clinical experience, at the time of commencing treatment with the proenzyme suppositories, and 6 more reached the expected survival time.  No patients were reported as living for a period less than that predicted by the treating clinician. Please see Table 1 below.

Neither Propanc nor its founders have conducted any other clinical treatments or investigations with the proenzyme suppository formulation
 
Following the unpublished retrospective review of the patient histories of the 46 cancer patients, Dr. Kenyon, Dr. Mitchell and Mr. James Nathanielsz, Propanc’s Chief Executive Officer, developed a strategy to commercialize the newly developed proenzyme suppository formulation, now designated PRP.  Propanc Pty Ltd, our subsidiary, was established in Australia late 2007 to refine, develop and commercialize novel, patented proenzyme therapeutics for the treatment of cancer.
 
Important milestones over the years following the establishment of Propanc Pty Ltd include:
 
  
The establishment of a research collaborative partnership with Dr David Tosh from Bath University in early 2008 to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which the Propanc proenzyme formulation is acting.
  
The establishment in 2008 of a Scientific Advisory Board comprising Professor John Smyth (Edinburgh University), Professor Klaus Kutz (Bonn University) and Professor Karrar Khan (De Montfort University).
  
A meeting in 2008 with the MHRA (UK Health Authority) who advised that, based on the data presented, the pharmacology supported the clinical development of PRP, and that the conduct of a 28 day multiple ascending dose study in patients with advanced carcinoma (cancer) could be initiated.
  
In 2009, two provisional patents were filed covering novel formulations of proenzymes and their use in the treatment of cancer.
  
In 2009, additional scientific research was undertaken with Bath University and Granada University identifying anti-cancer effects of the proenzymes including triggering cell necrosis (cell death) and apoptosis (programmed cell death) and the induction of cell differentiation (i.e. inducing cancer cells to exhibit more normal cell behaviour). This provided an avenue for Propanc to increase its intellectual property base and patent new pharmaceutical compositions designed to enhance the effects of the proenzymes whilst maintaining their safety profile.
  
In 2010, the above work was supplemented with additional data showing further mechanisms of anticancer effects of proenzymes, including anti-angiogenic activity (preventing new blood vessel formation) in tumors, and anti-metastases (prevention of tumor spreading) by increasing adhesion between tumor cells.
  
In mid 2010 the identification of an enhanced formulation of PRP, designated PRP-DCM with greater ability to inhibit blood vessel formation in tumors compared to PRP.  Patents covering this additional formulation were filed in late 2010.
  
In late 2010, the establishment of Propanc Inc.

Propanc’s Technology
 
PRP

Our lead product, PRP, is a novel, patented once daily suppository formulation of proenzymes. In limited human testing as outlined earlier, supplemented by laboratory research at the Universities of Bath and Granada on the mechanism of action of the proenzyme mixture, evidence has been obtained which suggests PRP:
 
 
20

 

  
Increases survival rates and quality of life;
  
Does not cause substantial major side effects;
  
Is easily self-administered; and
  
May be effective against a range of common solid tumors
 
Most cancer treatments currently on the market suffer from limitations of excessive toxicity or the development of resistance, limiting the extent to which they can be used chronically to control cancer over the long term.  Whilst the clinical findings with PRP are early and subject to confirmation in future clinical trials, these data gathered to date, together with the observation that no evidence has been observed of the development of resistance by the cancer to PRP, suggest that PRP may be suitable for long term, chronic therapy.
 
PRP-DCM
 
Recent work undertaken by Propanc has focused on maximizing the potential of PRP as a drug suitable for long term maintenance by:
 
  
Enhancing the effects of the proenzyme formulation by selecting additional ingredients at non-toxic dose levels which can augment the anti-cancer activity; and
  
Building on Propanc’s knowledge of the mechanism of action of proenzymes in treating cancer to create additional patent opportunities to further protect Propanc’s competitive position in the field.
 
Scientific research has focused on developing a novel combination of anti-cancer agents working in combination with proenzymes which enhance PRP’s anti-cancer effects.  The enhanced proenzymes-based formulations combine PRP with at least one of two types of identified compounds considered on the basis PRP’s mechanism of action to synergistically enhance the anti-cancer effects of PRP.
 
In November 2010, in collaboration with Dr. Paul Clayton, an expert in cancer prevention and nutrition and former advisor to the Committee on Safety of Medicines (UK), we identified a novel formula comprising of specific anti-cancer agents in combination with PRP which enhance the ability of PRP to target cancerous cells with minimal side effects to healthy cells.  Experimental results conducted by Propanc researchers show the novel formulation, designated PRP-DCM, was superior to PRP in vitro.  As a result of the work undertaken in collaboration with Dr. Paul Clayton, an international patent application was filed late 2010 which is directed to enhanced proenzyme patent formulations and combination therapies comprising trypsinogen and chymotrypsin.  Dr. Clayton was awarded a success fee in the form of shares of our common stock representing 1% of the shares then currently issued and outstanding in recognition of his contribution to this research.
 
As is frequently seen in cancer research, animal cancer models using PRP-DCM have in some instances shown very encouraging results, with activity comparable to the approved drug Nexavar™, with less clear cut results in other animal models.  Propanc is working to understand which models are most appropriate, and how to further optimize the PRP-DCM formulation.
 
The research work being undertaken on PRP-DCM is being conducted by the University of Granada and the Australian companies vivoPharm who are undertaking the work under contract with Propanc and have no continuing financial interest in the development and commercialization of PRP-DCM.  Alternative suppliers of these research services have been identified, should such alternatives be required.  For completeness, it should be noted that the Managing Director of vivoPharm, Dr Ralf Brandt, is presently engaged as a member of the Propanc Scientific Advisory Board.
 
POP1
 
In order to maximize its proprietary knowledge on the use of proenzymes in the treatment of cancer, Propanc is presently undertaking research to identify the mechanism at the molecular level by which Propanc’s proenzyme formulation is acting to cause cancer cell death.  A research program has been established with Propanc’s collaborators at the University of Granada to investigate the changes in genetic and protein expression which occur in cancer cells as a consequence to being exposed to Propanc’s proenzyme formulation.  The objective of this work is to understand at the molecular level the targets of Propanc’s proenzyme formulation, thereby providing the opportunity for the identification of new, patentable drugs which can be further developed by Propanc, such as synthetic recombinant proteins designed to improve the quality, safety and performance of proenzymes used in the proposed formulations.
 
The POP1 research work is being conducted by the University of Granada which is undertaking the work under contract with Propanc and has no continuing financial interest in the development and commercialization of any outcomes from this project.
 
PRP Injection
 
The present focus of the development of PRP is to create an anti-cancer product that is effective in treating cancer, and which is sufficiently well tolerated to be suitable for chronic, long term use in patients with diagnosed cancer, and potentially in the longer term in patients at high risk of developing cancer.
 
 
21

 

An additional opportunity for PRP is in the treatment of solid tumor masses by the direct injection of PRP into those tumor masses.  In order to achieve this, Propanc is developing an injectable form of PRP which would be suitable for direct injection into tumor masses, the intention being to cause shrinkage of individual problematic tumor masses.
 
The development of the PRP Injection is still at the early stage, with the focus for Propanc being on the development of the PRP suppository.  Subject to the availability of sufficient capital, Propanc’s intention is to undertake the early development of the PRP Injection in parallel with the non-clinical and clinical development of PRP.  Should the data from this development work support the further development of the PRP Injection, Propanc may undertake the development of the PRP Injection as a follow on product to PRP, leveraging the data package which has been generated on PRP to progress the PRP Injection relatively rapidly through non-clinical development and into clinical studies.
 
No research organizations are currently under contract in respect of the research and development of PRP Injection.
 
The PRP Mechanism of Action
 
The mechanism by which proenzymes exert an anticancer effect is not fully known.
 
There is evidence showing that proenzymes are activated at the tumor site and tumor cell surface and that these in turn activate Protease Activated Receptors Type 2 (PAR2).  Activation of PAR2 results in a cascade of intracellular activities, including activation of a major component of the cell which controls its structure and architecture, the actin cytoskeleton.  In a cancer cell, proenzymes have the effect of converting globular actin into tight filamentous actin, which causes the cancer cell structure to collapse and induce cell death.  This reduces tumor volume and is often noticed in clinical practice.
 
Other mechanisms are thought to also contribute to the anticancer effects of proenzymes, including inactivation of growth factors which can often contribute to cancer cell growth.  Inactivation of growth factors is one of the mechanisms of action by which other anti cancer drugs work, eg. Avastin™ which blocks a growth factor called vascular endothelial growth factor, or VEGF, and inhibits the growth of blood vessels at the site of the tumor.  Data has been generated showing PRP also inhibits the growth of blood vessels, although the mechanism by which this is achieved is not fully known.
 
Additional effects which have been observed, although their mechanism is not fully understood, include triggering cell necrosis (cell death), induction of apoptosis (programmed cell death), the induction of cell differentiation (i.e. inducing cancer cells to exhibit more normal cell behavior), the inhibition of angiogenesis (preventing new blood vessel formation) in tumors, and anti-metastases (prevention of tumor spreading) by increasing adhesion between tumor cells.
 
The PRP Formulation
 
Oral enzymes have been administered previously in a variety of circumstances, and are in current clinical use in conditions where the pancreas is unable to produce sufficient enzymes for the digestion of food.  Oral enzymes have also been investigated previously for the treatment of cancer and, whilst generating encouraging results, their widespread use has been hampered by the very large quantities that have been considered necessary for effective treatment – 130 or more tablets per day!  The high dose used with oral delivery is considered necessary due to the oral enzymes being broken down in the stomach and duodenum, the first part of the small intestine, and very little actually being absorbed into the general circulation.
 
The patented PRP drug product is a mixture containing amylase and proenzymes that has been specifically formulated as suppositories suitable for rectal administration.  By administering a proenzyme mixture rectally, and by using a specific formulation, the normal digestion of the oral enzymes in the duodenum is avoided and the drug can be absorbed intact.  Recent scientific evidence suggests a rectally administered proenzyme formulation may dramatically reduce the dose required to achieve beneficial clinical results.
 
Target Indications
 
The management of cancer differs widely, with a multitude of factors impacting on the choice of treatment strategy.  Some of those factors include:
 
  
The type of tumor, usually defined by the tissue in the body from which it originated.
  
The extent to which it has spread beyond its original location.
  
The availability of treatments, driven by multiple factors including cost, drugs approved, local availability of suitable facilities etc.
  
Regional and geographic differences.
  
Whether the primary tumor is amenable to surgery, either as a potentially curative procedure, or as a palliative one.
  
The balance between potential risks and potential benefits from the various treatments, and probably most importantly,the patient’s wishes.
 
 
22

 
 
For many patients with solid cancers, such as breast, colorectal, lung and pancreatic cancer, surgery is frequently the first treatment option, frequently followed by first line chemotherapy +/- radiotherapy.  Whilst hopefully such procedures are curative, in many instances the tumor returns, and second line treatment strategies are chosen in an effort to achieve a degree of control of the tumor.  Sadly, in many such instances, the benefit is temporary, and eventually the point is reached where the patient’s tumor either fails to adequately respond to treatment, or the treatment has unacceptable toxicity which severely limits its usefulness.
 
Should the larger scale clinical trials confirm the efficacy of Propanc’s PRP products, along with the excellent safety and tolerability profile suggested by experience to date, Propanc envisages PRP, and/or PRP-DCM, will potentially have utility in a number of clinical situations, including:
 
  
In the early stage management of solid tumors, most likely as part of a multi-pronged treatment strategy in combination with existing therapeutic interventions
  
As a product that can be administered long term for patients following the completion of their initial treatment, in order to prevent or delay recurrence
  
As an agent which can reduce the risk of the development of cancer in patients at high risk of developing cancer, e.g. Patients who have been diagnosed with pre-cancerous conditions, or those in whom genetic analysis identifies them as being at high risk of developing cancer.
 
Whilst the above constitute long term opportunities for PRP and/or PRP-DCM, they are not the initial targets for which Propanc plans to develop PRP and/or PRP-DCM.  In the first instance, Propanc plans to target patients with solid tumors, most likely colorectal and pancreatic tumors, for whom other treatment options have been exhausted.  This is a common approach by which most new drugs for cancer are initially tested.  Once efficacy and safety has been demonstrated in this patient population, exploration of the potential utility of the drug in earlier stage disease can be undertaken, together with investigation of the drug’s utility in other types of cancer.
 
Development Strategy
 
Propanc’s strategy for the development of its technology is to undertake early stage non-clinical and clinical development of its drug products through to a significant value inflexion point.  Such value inflexion points in the context of cancer drugs are typically at the point where formal, controlled clinical trials have demonstrated ‘proof of concept’ – typically meaning that there is controlled clinical trial evidence that the drug is effective in the proposed target patient population, has an acceptable safety profile, and is suitable for further development.  From a ‘big picture’ perspective, it is Propanc’s intention to progress the development of its technology through to completion of a ‘proof of concept’ clinical trial, and then to seek a licensee for the further development beyond that point.
 
As part of that commercial strategy, Propanc will:
 
  
Continue research and development to build our existing intellectual property portfolio, and to seek new, patentable discoveries.
  
Seek to ensure all product development is undertaken in a manner that makes its products approvable in the major pharmaceutical markets, including the U.S., Europe, the UK and Japan.
  
Aggressively pursue the protection of our technology through all means possible, including patents in all major jurisdictions, and potentially trade secrets
  
Acquire new targets:  We will investigate opportunities to acquire new targets which complement our future goals and expand our products and services within related healthcare fields.  Examples of potential acquisitions include research and development facilities, intellectual property to expand our pipeline, radiology clinics and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
 
Development Plan and Milestones
 
Propanc’s development plans for its existing product portfolio are summarized below.
 
PRP and PRP-DCM
 
As outlined earlier, Propanc has identified an enhanced version of PRP, designated PRP-DCM, which based on data to date, potentially offers improved efficacy compared to the existing lead product, PRP.  Propanc is presently undertaking additional preclinical studies investigating the potential of PRP-DCM and, based on the results of those studies, plans to select one of PRP or PRP-DCM to progress into formal non-clinical and clinical development.
 
Once the development candidate has been selected, Propanc plans to progress the selected candidate down a conventional non-clinical and early stage clinical development pathway.  Propanc plans to undertake its early clinical development in Germany, and thus the first step proposed is a meeting with the German regulatory authority, BfArM, to discuss Propanc’s non-clinical and clinical development plans.  Following that advice, the development program will be finalized, key aspects of which will be:
 
 
23

 
 
  
Finalisation of formulation
  
Development of manufacturing and manufacture of drug substance for non-clinical development
  
Conduct of non-clinical safety pharmacology, genotoxicity and toxicology studies
  
Finalise a regulatory submission to conduct a Phase I safety study in Germany, and submit to the German regulatory authority, BfArM, for approval.
  
Undertake a Phase I safety study in Germany – potentially in healthy volunteers and then late stage cancer patients – dependent on outcomes from non-clinical studies.
  
Undertake a Phase IIa proof of concept study in late stage solid tumor patients utilising surrogate efficacy markers and clinical end-points.

As outlined previously, a research program has been established with Propanc’s collaborators at the University of Granada to investigate the changes in genetic and protein expression which occur in cancer cells as a consequence to being exposed to Propanc’s proenzyme formulation.  The objective of this work is to understand at the molecular level the targets of Propanc’s proenzyme formulation, thereby providing the opportunity for new, patentable drugs which can be further developed by Propanc.
 
Propanc anticipates results from this work flowing from early 2012.  Subject to the results from this work identifying the potential mechanism by which PRP is acting, Propanc plans to commence a targeted drug discovery program utilizing the identified molecular target to search for novel anticancer agents.
 
PRP Injection
 
Propanc’s initial focus will be on the selection of a PRP development candidate, and the progression of the selected candidate down a formal drug development pathway.  In parallel with that work, Propanc plans to investigate in animal models of cancer the potential efficacy and tolerability of injecting PRP directly into a solid tumor.  Subject to that work producing favorable results, Propanc plans to commence the formal non-clinical and clinical development of the injectable PRP formulation.  It is anticipated that the animal model studies will be completed by mid-2012, enabling a decision in respect of progressing PRP Injection at that time.

Multiple factors, many of which are outside of Propanc’s control, can impact on the ability of Propanc to achieve its target objectives within the planned time and budgetary constraints.  Subject to these caveats, it is Propanc’s objective to achieve the following R&D milestones within the proposed budget:
 
  
One of PRP or PRP-DCM completed Phase I clinical trial
  
Development candidate identified from the POP1 program
  
PRP Injection completed animal efficacy testing
 
Corporate Strategy
 
Propanc operates as a ‘virtual’ company contracting services, skills and expertise as required to achieve its scientific and corporate objectives.  This out-sourcing strategy is common in the biotechnology sector, and is an efficient way to obtain access to the necessary skills required to progress a project, in particular as the required skills change as the project progresses from discovery, through manufacturing and non-clinical development, and into clinical trials.  Propanc anticipates continuing to utilize this model, thereby retaining the flexibility to contract in the appropriate resource as and when required.  Additional project management expertise is likely to be required, and Propanc anticipates a modest increase in employees in order to effectively manage its contractors as the project progress down the development pathway.
 
Current Operations
 
Propanc is at a pre-revenue stage.  We do not know when, if ever, we will be able to commercialize our PRP products .  Presently, we are focusing our efforts on organizing, coordinating and financing the various aspects of the drug research and development program outlined earlier in this document .  In order to commercialize our PRP products , we must complete preclinical development, and Phase 1, 2 and 3 clinical trials in Germany, the UK, Australia, or elsewhere, and satisfy the applicable regulatory authority that PRP is safe and effective.  We estimate that this will take approximately seven years.   Once we have progressed our development projects sufficiently down the development pathway to achieve a major increase in value , we will consider seeking a suitable licensing partner to complete the remaining development activities, seek regulatory approval, and market the product .
 
Key Highlights
 
In summary, the key highlights of this opportunity are:
 
  
A new treatment in oncology:  Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide.  Global demand for effective, safe and easy to administer cancer treatments is increasing rapidly.  We believe our treatment will uniquely target many aggressive tumor types for which little or few treatment options exist.  We are ready to capitalize on the significant market opportunity which exists for an effective, well tolerated anti-cancer therapeutic.
  
Multiple mechanisms of action:  Unlike many products approved for the treatment of cancer, our treatment exerts multiple effects on cancerous cells which inhibits tumor growth and potentially stops it from spreading throughout the body.
  
Encouraging data from patient treatment:  Scientific research undertaken over the last 15 years and the clinical experience from treating patients in the UK and Australia has provided persuasive evidence that PRP is an effective treatment against cancer.
  
Unique intellectual property:  We are focusing on building a significant portfolio of intellectual property around our scientific understanding of the effects of proenzymes in cancer, identifying new formulations, new routes of administration and potential new therapeutic targets.  To date, we have filed two patent applications covering PRP, and one covering the novel product PRP-DCM.

Current Therapies/Drugs Available

Current drugs in the market offer, at most, a few months of extra life or tumor stabilization.  Studies are revealing the genetic changes in cells that cause cancer and spur its growth and are providing scientific researchers with dozens of molecules, or “targets” that drugs could block.  Tumor cells, however, can develop resistance to drugs.  Some experts believe that drugs that kill most tumor cells do not affect cancer stem cells which can regenerate the tumor (e.g. chemotherapy).

We are developing a therapeutic solution for the treatment of patients with advanced stages of cancer targeting solid tumors, which is cancer that originates in organs or tissues other than bone marrow or the lymph system.  Common cancer types classified as solid tumors include lung, colorectal, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer and liver cancers.  In each of these indications , there is a large market opportunity to capitalize on the limitations of current therapies.

Limitations of Current Therapies

PRP was developed because of the limitation of current cancer therapies.  While surgery is often safe and effective for early stage cancer, many standard therapies for late stage cancer urgently need improvement; with current treatments generally providing modest benefits, and frequently causing significant adverse effects .  Our focus is to provide oncologists and their patients with therapies for metastatic cancer which are more effective than current therapies, and which have a substantially better side effect profile.

According to an article by Catherine Arnst in Business Week magazine issued on May 21, 2008, while progress has been made within the oncology sector in developing new treatments, the overall cancer death rate has only improved 7% over the last 30 years.  Most of these new treatments have some limitations, such as :

§  
Have significant toxic effects
§  
Are highly expensive
§  
Often have limited survival benefits

We believe that our treatment will provide a competitive advantage over the following treatments:

  
Chemotherapeutics:  Side effects from chemotherapy can include pain, diarrhea, constipation, mouth sores, hair loss, nausea and vomiting, as well as blood-related side effects, which may include a low number of infection fighting white blood cell count (neutropenia), low red blood cell count (anemia), and low platelet count (thrombocytopenia). Our goal is to demonstrate that our treatment will be more effective than chemotherapeutic and hormonal therapies with fewer side effects.
  
Targeted therapies:  Most common type is multi-targeted kinase inhibitors.  Common side effects include fatigue, rash, hand–foot reaction, diarrhea, hypertension and dyspnoea (shortness of breath).  Furthermore, the tyrosine kinases inhibited by these drugs appear to develop resistance to these inhibitors.  Whilst the clinical findings with PRP are early and subject to confirmation in future clinical trials, no evidence has yet been observed of the development of resistance by the cancer to PRP.
  
Monoclonal antibodies:  Development of monoclonal antibodies is often difficult due to safety concerns.  Side effects which are most common include skin and gastro-intestinal toxicities.  For example, several serious side effects from Avastin, a leading cancer drug, include gastrointestinal perforation and dehiscence (e.g. rupture of the bowel), severe hypertension (often requiring emergency treatment) and nephrotic syndrome (protein leakage into the urine).  Antibody therapy can be applied to various cancer types in some cases, but can also be limited to certain genetic sub populations in many instances.
  
Immunotherapy:  There is a long history of attempts to develop therapeutic cancer vaccines to stimulate the body’s own immune system to attack cancer cells.  These products, whilst they generally do not have the poor safety profile of standard therapeutic approaches, have rarely been particularly effective.  Whilst there are a number of therapeutic cancer vaccines currently in development, most are in the early stages of clinical development.  To date, only one therapeutic cancer vaccine has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.

Market Opportunity

Oncology drug sales are experiencing rapid growth and reached US$ 56.7 billion in 2007 according to IMS Health (© Business Insights Limited, 2008). This will make oncology the single biggest segment in the global drug market.   Some important factors which contribute are :

  
Cancer currently affects 1 in 3 people: The most commonly occurring cancers are those of the lung, breast and colon and it is these tumors that we seek to treat. (IMS Health, The Challenge Goes Commercial, 2006)
 
  
Growth in cancer comparative to other medical segments:  Cancer is one of the largest and fastest growing markets in the pharmaceutical industry. (IMS Health, The Challenge Goes Commercial, 2006)

 
26

 

As a proportion of the total global oncology drug sales, the market for new cancer treatments (defined as any new chemical or biological entity approved in the last ten years to treat cancer) has steadily risen, with the segment growing in absolute terms from US$7B in 2003 to just under US$22B in 2006. This definition ensures that only drugs recently launched, showing some superiority over established therapies, are included.   Our cancer treatment is intended to be positioned among the five types of cancer drug classes currently contributing to the significant growth in the oncology market.  The five main drug classes are chemotherapeutics, hormonals, immunotherapy and vaccines, targeted therapies and monoclonal antibodies.

(© Business Insights Limited, 2007)
 
Demand for new cancer products can largely be attributed to a combination of a rapidly aging population in western countries and changing environmental factors, which together are resulting in rising cancer incidence rates. According to the World Health Organization, cancer is expected to increase from 7.6 million annual deaths in 2005 to 9 million annual deaths by 2015, exceeding 11 million annual deaths by 2030.  As such, global demand for new cancer treatments which are effective, safe and easy to administer is rapidly increasing.  Our treatment will potentially target many aggressive tumor types for which little or few treatment options exist.
 
In the first instance, Propanc plans to target patients with solid tumors, most likely colorectal and pancreatic tumors, for whom other treatment options have been exhausted.  It is reported by the World Health Organization that in 2008, globally these cancers resulted in over 600,000 and 260,000 deaths per year, respectively.  With such a high mortality rate, a substantial unmet medical need exists for new treatments which can extend survival.
 
For example, current standard treatment for colorectal cancer consists of cytotoxics, which are associated with high levels of toxicity.  Despite the relatively recent approval of Erbitux™ and Avastin™, both of which are monoclonal antibodies, for the treatment of colorectal cancer, significant treatment-related adverse effects continue to be problematic for patients with colorectal cancer.  The need exists for tolerable agents that will improve quality of life for patients as well as offering a potential cure (Datamonitor, 2004).
 
For pancreatic cancer, due to a lack of effective therapies on the market for pancreatic cancer, any newly approved agents with some efficacy are likely to see significant uptake once commercialized (Datamonitor, 2004). Targeted therapies may fulfill this need, although further intensive R&D is necessary.
 
Once the efficacy and safety of PRP has been demonstrated in late stage patient populations, Propanc plans to undertake exploration of the utility of the drug in earlier stage disease, together with investigation of the drug’s utility in other types of cancer.

License Agreements

We currently have an exclusive license with the University of Bath (UK), where we and the University co-own the intellectual property relating our proenzyme formulations.  This exclusive license will convert into an assignment of the intellectual property to us once certain development milestones are met.  An opportunity to purchase the commercial rights is available to us at any stage of development.

We have a joint commercialization agreement with the University of Bath and will continue to work together to patent and commercialize these discoveries, while continuing to elucidate the properties of proenzymes with the long term aim of screening new compounds for development.  At present, we are engaged in discussions with several technology companies who are progressing new developments in the oncology field as potential additions to our product line.  Initially targeting the oncology sector, our focus is to identify and develop novel treatments which are highly effective targeted therapies, with few side effects as a result of toxicity to healthy cells.

Propanc previously sponsored a collaborative research project at the University of Bath to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the potential clinical application of Propanc’s proprietary pancreatic proenzyme formulation.  Under the terms of the contract in respect of that project (effective 18th July 2008) the University of Bath owns the intellectual property in the project results (with Propanc having certain rights to the same).  Ownership of intellectual property in Propanc’s proprietary application existing prior to the commencement of the research project remained unaffected.
 
At the completion of the research, Propanc and The University of Bath established an agreement regarding the proenzyme technology where Propanc retained the exclusive rights and license to commercialize the joint patents and any other original research IP.  The agreement enabled the two parties to agree to terms for the commercialization of the technology, specifying future income sharing, royalty rates and license payments.  Terms of the Agreement include:
 
  
Propanc shall pay to the University of Bath a royalty being two (2) per cent of any and all net revenues.
  
In addition to payment of the royalty, Propanc shall pay to the University of Bath an additional sum of five (5) per cent of each and every licensee payment.
  
Propanc can make an upfront payment to the University of Bath which would serve as a buyout option, which takes into account future royalty rates and additional sums in the future to the University of Bath.
  
Unless terminated earlier, the agreement between the University of Bath and Propanc will continue until the date on which all of the patents worldwide have been held invalid or abandoned, or the date of expiration of the last patent.
  
Propanc has the exclusive right to prepare, file, prosecute, maintain, re-examine and reissue the patents, at Propanc’s sole cost and expense.
  
Following both successful completion of a Phase I clinical trial in man and commencement of a Phase IIa (Proof of Concept) clinical trial in man, in both cases involving the administration of a product or materials within a claim of any of the patents, the University of Bath shall assign its entire right, title and interest in and to the patents to Propanc.

Intellectual Property

We have recently filed an international patent application directed to enhanced proenzyme formulations and combination therapies comprising trypsinogen and chymotrypsin.  The international patent application has been based on previous provisional patent applications capturing our ongoing research and development in this area.

The international patent application was filed on October 22, 2010, which claims priority from Australian provisional patent application nos. 2009905147 (filed October 22, 2010) and 2010902655 (filed June 17, 2010).   The details of such patent is as follows:

  
Title:  A Pharmaceutical Composition For Treating Cancer Comprising Trypsinogen And/Or Chymotrypsinogen And An Active Agent Selected From A Selenium Compound, A Vanilloid Compound, And A Cytoplasmic Glycolysis Reduction Agent
  
Date filed: 22nd October 2010
  
Jurisdiction:  The Patent Cooperation Treaty or PCT is an international agreement for filing patent applications having effect in up to 117 countries.  Under the PCT, an inventor can file a single international patent application in one language with one patent office in order to simultaneously seek protection for an invention in up to 117 countries.
  
Application Status:  Pending
  
Patent costs:  To be paid by Propanc.
  
Expiration date:  Not applicable.
 
 
28

 

The Company is currently undergoing the 30-month national phase filing deadline for this international PCT application, which is on the 22nd of April 2012.  This date is the deadline for entering the national phase in each country.  We have allocated expenses for costs related to intellectual property in the amount of $80,000.

Further, provisional patents (patent filing applications which do not include any formal patent claim, oath, declaration or informational disclosures.  These applications provide the means to establish an early effective filing date in a non-provisional patent application filed later in time and allow the term “patent pending” to be applied in connection with the description of the invention or work subject to the patent application.) are also expected to be filed to capture and protect additional patentable subject matter that is identified, namely further enhanced formulations, combination treatments, use of recombinant products, modes of action and molecular targets.

Our intellectual property portfolio also includes an extensive amount of confidential information, know-how and expertise in relation to the development and formulation of proenzyme based combination therapies.
 
The basis of Propanc’s intellectual property protection will be built around the following elements:

Method of use:  Understanding the mechanism of action of the PRP proenzyme formulations, enabling the identification of new molecular targets, potential new therapeutic compounds and identification of new formulations that are adapted to enhance activity.
 
Formulation:  We have developed an enhanced formulation containing the proenzyme trypsinogen in combination with at least one of two types of identified compounds considered effective for providing synergistic enhancement of the proenzyme based formulations.  A patentability assessment, based on an international prior art search, has indicated that strong potential exists for successfully obtaining patent claims covering a broad class of compounds based on the compounds identified.
 
Composition of Matter:  Synthetic recombinant proteins designed to improve the quality, safety and performance of proenzymes used in the proposed formulations form part of the research and development program.

Government Approvals

Dr. Julian Kenyon, as Medical Director of Dove Clinic, received approval via a UK ‘Specials’ License to have manufactured and use a novel three component suppository formulation.   The suppository formulation was developed by Dr. Julian Kenyon and was manufactured by an approved UK ‘Specials’ licensed manufacturer.  This custom manufactured product was used in the treatment of patients, at their expense, at the Dove Clinic and was also made available for the treatment of patients at the Opal Clinic in Australia, with an approval granted via Australia’s Special Access Scheme.  The UK ‘Specials’ regulations are designed to enable access to unlicensed products by individual patients who have special clinical needs that cannot be met by licensed medicinal products, and in Australia the TGA’s Special Access Scheme is a mechanism which provides for the import and/or supply of an unapproved therapeutic good for a single patient, on a case by case basis.

Based on the favorable results reported for the patients treated by the Dove Clinic and the Opal Clinic, as well as some initial experimental animal studies, a meeting was held with the Medicinal Products and Healthcare Regulatory Agency, or the MHRA, in the UK, to determine whether sufficient data was available to initiate patient trials.

In 2008 the MHRA advised that, based on the data presented, the pharmacology supported the clinical development of PRP, and that the conduct of a 28 day multiple ascending dose study in patients with advanced carcinoma could be initiated . This meeting helped Propanc to formalize the development program , with the objective of seeking worldwide regulatory approval for PRP to establish broader commercial acceptance for this type of treatment and thus enable us to generate global sales.

Since that meeting, we have identified a potentially superior formulation of PRP, designated PRP-DCM.  A decision as to the final development candidate will be made once additional data is available on PRP-DCM, and this may impact on the product development pathway.  Unlike the proenzyme formulation of PRP, for which there is considerable clinical experience, albeit by a different route of administration, some of the components in PRP-DCM have limited previous clinical usage, and thus a more substantial non-clinical and early clinical development program will be required should PRP-DCM be the selected development candidate.
 
 
29

 

The current goals for our lead development program are:

  
The development of a PRP treatment for late stage colorectal or pancreatic cancer, with development for earlier stage disease to follow.
 
  
Conduct clinical trials in Central Europe, possibly through the German Health Authorities who have experience with enzyme therapy and its use in oncology.  This approach should help facilitate a path to approval in Europe through the European Medicines Agency and eventually US Food and Drug Administration approval.

We intend to meet the German regulatory authority to discuss the proposed development program in the second half of 2011.

Clinical Trials

We intend to run the Phase I clinical trials in Central Europe within the next 12 – 18 months.  The trials will be managed and supervised by Professor Klaus Kutz, our Acting Chief Medical Officer, and assisted by Dr. Julian Kenyon and Professor John Smyth, a Scientific Advisory Board Member.

Although we do not have a formal policy regarding communications with the Board, shareholders may communicate with the Board by writing to us at 576 Swan Street, Richmond, VIC, 3121, Australia, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or by facsimile +61 (0) 3 9208 4110.  Shareholders who would like their submission directed to a member of the Board may so specify, and the communication will be forwarded, as appropriate.

Board Diversity

While we do not have a formal policy on diversity, our Board considers diversity to include the skill set, background, reputation, type and length of business experience of our Board members as well as a particular nominee’s contributions to that mix.  Our Board believes that diversity brings a variety of ideas, judgments and considerations that benefit Propanc and our shareholders.  Although there are many other factors, the Board seeks individuals with experience in business, financial and scientific research and development.

Board Structure

We have chosen to separate the Chief Executive Officer and Board Chairman positions.  We believe that this Board leadership structure is the most appropriate for Propanc.  Our chairman provides us with significant experience in research and development. Our Chief Executive Officer who is responsible for day to day operations is the founder of Propanc who brings significant experience in manufacturing and distribution.

Board Assessment of Risk

Our risk management function is overseen by our Board.  Our management keeps our Board apprised of material risks and provides our directors access to all information necessary for them to understand and evaluate how these risks interrelate, how they affect Propanc, and how management addresses those risks.  Mr. Nathanielsz, as our Chief Executive Officer works closely together with the Board once material risks are identified on how to best address such risk.  If the identified risk poses an actual or potential conflict with management, our independent directors may conduct the assessment.  Presently, the primary risks affecting Propanc is the lack of working capital, the inability to generate sufficient revenues so that we have positive cash flow from operations and success of future clinical trials.  The Board focuses on these key risks at each meeting and actively interfaces with management on seeking solutions.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Termination Provisions

From inception, we borrowed approximately $370,000, which including interest, totaled $534,856 from three directors, one of whom is also an officer, where the loans had no specific repayment terms and bore interest at a rate of 30% per annum. The loans were to be convertible into shares of common stock at $0.16 per share.  On May 13, 2010 loans and accrued interest due to directors was converted into 3,305,615 shares of common stock.
  
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
 
Common Stock

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, including the election of directors. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors. The holders of common stock are entitled to any dividends that may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for payment of dividends subject to the prior rights of holders of preferred stock and any contractual restrictions we have against the payment of dividends on common stock. In the event of our liquidation or dissolution, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preferences of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights and have no right to convert their common stock into any other securities.
 
Anti-takeover Effects of Delaware Law

We are subject to the “business combination” provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  In general, such provisions prohibit a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in various “business combination” transactions such as a merger with any interested shareholder which includes, a shareholder owning 15% of a corporation’s outstanding voting securities, for a period of three years after the date in which the person became an interested shareholder, unless:

The transaction is approved by the corporation’s Board prior to the date the shareholder became an interested shareholder;
Upon closing of the transaction which resulted in the shareholder becoming an interested shareholder, the shareholder owned at least 85% of the shares of stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the corporation outstanding excluding those shares owned by persons who are both directors and officers and specified types of employee stock plans; or
On or after such date, the business combination is approved by the Board and at least 66 2/3% of outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested shareholder.

A Delaware corporation may opt out of Section 203 with either an express provision in its original Certificate of Incorporation or an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws approved by its shareholders.  We have not opted out of this Statute.  This Statute could prohibit, discourage or delay mergers or other takeover attempts to acquire us.
 
Dividends
 
We have not paid dividends on our common stock since inception and do not plan to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Upon effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, we will conduct the sale of shares we are offering on a self-underwritten, best-efforts basis. This offering will be conducted on a best-efforts basis utilizing the efforts of our officers and directors. Further, these officers and directors conducting our best efforts offering will inform prospective investors that the shares they may purchase are offered by the Company and not the officers and directors personally.   There is no public market for our common stock. To date, we have not obtained listing or quotation of our securities on a national stock exchange or association, or inter-dealer quotation system. We have not identified any market makers with regard to assisting us to apply for such quotation. We are unable to estimate when we expect to undertake this endeavor or whether we will be successful. In the absence of listing, no market is available for investors in our common stock to sell the shares offered herein. We cannot guarantee that a meaningful trading market will develop or that we will be able to get the shares listed for trading.

If the shares ever become tradable, the trading price of such could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various events or factors, many of which are beyond our control. As a result, investors may be unable to sell the shares at a price greater than the price at which they are being offered. We do not anticipate entering into any agreements or arrangements for the sale of the shares with any broker/dealer or sales agent.  However, if we were to enter into such arrangements, we will file a post effective amendment to disclose those arrangements.  
 
We will not be conducting a mass-mailing in connection with this offering, nor will we use the Internet to conduct this Offering.  

Our CEO, James Nathanielz, is not subject to a statutory disqualification as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  He will rely on Rule 3a4-1 to sell our securities without registering as a broker-dealer.  Mr. Nathanielz serves as an our Chief Executive Officer and primarily perform substantial duties for or on our behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities and will continue to do so at the end of the offering, and has not been a broker or dealer, or an associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding 12 months, and has not nor will not participate in the sale of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months.  He will not receive commissions in connection with his participation.

We plan to offer our shares to the public at a price of $1.50 per share, with a minimum of 500,000 shares to be sold.  Our officers and directors will not purchase any shares under this offering.  We will keep the offering open until we sell all of the shares registered, or for ninety (90) days from the date of this offering, whichever occurs first.  The Board of Directors may also elect to extend the offering for up to a further ninety (90) days, if all shares have not been sold by the end of the initial ninety (90) day period. There can be no assurance that we will sell all or any of the shares offered.  We have no arrangement or guarantee that we will sell any shares.  

In order to comply with the applicable securities laws of certain states, the securities may not be offered or sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in such states or an exemption from such registration or qualification requirement is available and with which we have complied. The purchasers in this offering and in any subsequent trading market must be residents of such states where the shares have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from such registration or qualification requirement is available. As of this date, we intend to offer our common stock upon effectiveness of this prospectus in New York, Florida, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Illinois.   The Company anticipates opening an office in New York prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of:
Propanc Health Group Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Propanc Health Group Corporation (a development stage company) at June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2010 and for the period from October 15, 2007 (Inception) through June 30, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Propanc Health Group Corporation (a development stage company) as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2010 and for the period from October 15, 2007 (Inception) through June 30, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has a net loss and net cash used in operating activities in 2010 of $842,487 and $191,509, respectively, and has a working capital deficit, stockholders' deficit and a deficit accumulated during development stage of $190,820, $186,903 and $1,694,363, respectively, at June 30, 2010. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s Plan in regards to these matters is also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
