**MARSHALL
      EDWARDS, INC.**


**(A
      Development Stage Company)**


**NOTES
      TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**


**(Unaudited)**


**December
      31, 2005**








**1.** **The
      Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**





The
      accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
      and
      with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
      Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
      by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete
      financial statements. Marshall Edwards, Inc. (“MEI”) believes all adjustments
      (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
      presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months and
      six
      months ended December 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results
      that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2006 or any other period.
      The
      balance sheet at June 30, 2005 has been derived from the audited financial
      statements at that date. The financial statements and notes should be read
      in
      conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the
      year
      ended June 30, 2005 which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
      10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005.





MEI
      is a
      development stage company incorporated in December 2000 as a wholly-owned
      subsidiary of Novogen Limited, an Australian pharmaceutical company. MEI
      commenced operations in May 2002. MEI, including its wholly-owned Australian
      subsidiary, Marshall Edwards Pty Limited (“MEPL”) (together the “Company”) is a
      pharmaceutical company with a primary focus on the development and
      commercialization of drugs for the treatment of cancer. The Company is presently
      engaged in the clinical development and commercialization of a drug candidate
      called phenoxodiol. The Company intends to develop phenoxodiol for use in a
      number of human cancers. The Company operates primarily in Australia and the
      United States.





Novogen
      Limited and certain of its subsidiary companies (collectively “Novogen”), have
      granted to the Company an exclusive worldwide, non transferable license under
      their patents and patent applications and in their know-how to conduct clinical
      trials and commercialize and distribute all forms of administering phenoxodiol
      in the field of prevention, treatment and cure of cancer in humans, except
      topical applications. In addition, the Company has an exclusive first right
      and
      an exclusive last right to match any proposed dealing by Novogen of its
      intellectual property rights with a third party relating to synthetic
      pharmaceutical compounds (other than phenoxodiol), that have known or potential
      applications in the field of prevention, treatment or cure of cancer in humans
      in all forms other than topical applications.





The
      Company’s initial business focus is to continue the clinical program currently
      under way for the development and commercialization of phenoxodiol.





7








**Principles
      of Consolidation**





The
      consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Marshall Edwards,
      Inc.
      and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Marshall Edwards Pty Limited. Significant
      intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on
      consolidation.





**Estimates**





The
      preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
      accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
      management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
      in
      the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
      from those estimates.





**Revenue
      Recognition**





*Interest*





The
      only
      revenue earned to date is interest on cash balances.





**Cash
      and****Cash Equivalents and Short Term
      Investments**





Cash
      on
      hand and in banks and short-term deposits are stated at their nominal value.
      The
      Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months
      or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Highly liquid investments with
      stated maturities of greater than three months are classified as short-term
      investments. The Company’s cash, held in the U.S., is deposited in financial
      institutions that are FDIC insured. These deposits are in excess of the FDIC
      insurance limits. The Company also holds cash with Australian financial
      institutions.





**Income
      Taxes**





Income
      taxes have been provided for using the liability method in accordance with
      FASB
      Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred
      tax assets and liabilities are recognized and measured using enacted tax rates
      in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be recognized.
      Valuation allowances are established against the recorded deferred income tax
      assets to the extent that management believes that it is more likely than not
      that a portion of the deferred income tax assets are not
      realizable.





**Fair
      Value of Financial Instruments**





The
      carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash
      equivalents and accounts payable approximate fair value.





**Foreign
      Currency Translation**





The
      financial statements of MEPL have been translated into U.S. dollars in
      accordance with FASB Statement No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation.” Assets
      and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in
      effect at the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts have been translated
      using the average exchange rate for the periods. Realized gains and losses
      from
      foreign currency transactions are reflected in the consolidated statements
      of
      operations.





8


Translation
      of MEPL’s Financial Statements into U.S dollars does not have a material impact
      on the Company’s financial position.





**Research
      and Development Expenses**





Research
      and development expenses relate primarily to the cost of conducting human
      clinical trials of phenoxodiol. Research and development costs are charged
      to
      expense as incurred.





**License
      Fees**





Costs
      incurred related to the acquisition or licensing of products that have not
      yet
      received regulatory approval to be marketed, or that are not commercially viable
      and ready for use or have no alternative future use, are charged to earnings
      in
      the period incurred.





**Stock-Based
      Compensation**





The
      Company’s stock option plan provides for the grant of options to the Company’s
      directors, employees, employees of the Company’s affiliates and certain of the
      Company’s contractors and consultants. To date no options have been issued under
      the plan.





**Basic
      and Diluted Loss Per Share**





Basic
      and
      diluted earnings or loss per share is calculated in accordance with FASB
      Statement No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” In computing basic earnings or loss per
      share, the dilutive effect of stock options are excluded, whereas for diluted
      earnings per share they are included unless the effect is anti-dilutive. Since
      the Company has a loss for all periods presented, diluted and basic earnings
      per
      share are the same.





**Comprehensive
      Loss**





Comprehensive
      loss is comprised of net loss and other comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive
      loss includes certain changes in Stockholders’ Equity that are excluded from net
      loss. Comprehensive loss for all periods presented has been reflected in the
      Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity.

During
      the period presented the Company had warrants outstanding that could potentially
      dilute basic earnings per share in the future, but were excluded from the
      computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would have been
      anti-dilutive. Since the Company has a loss for all periods presented, diluted
      and basic earnings per share are the same. The outstanding warrants consist
      of
      the following potential common shares:

**License
      Agreement**





The
      license agreement is an agreement under which Novogen’s subsidiary, Novogen
      Research Pty Limited, grants to MEPL a worldwide non-transferable license under
      its patents and patent applications and in its know-how to conduct clinical
      trials and commercialize and distribute phenoxodiol products. The agreement
      covers uses of phenoxodiol in the field of prevention, treatment or cure of
      cancer in humans delivered in all forms except topical applications. The license
      is exclusive until the expiration or lapsing of the last relevant Novogen
      patents or patent applications in the world and thereafter is non-exclusive.
      MEPL may terminate the agreement by giving three months’ notice to Novogen. MEPL
      paid $5,000,000 to Novogen in February 2004 which was the first lump sum license
      fee payment due under the terms of the license agreement. Also, MEPL paid
      $2,000,000 to Novogen in January 2005 which was the annual milestone license
      fee
      payment due under the license agreement. MEPL paid $4,000,000 to Novogen in
      January 2006 which was the annual milestone license fee payment due under the
      license agreement. Future amounts payable to Novogen under terms of the license
      agreement are as follows:





1.
      A
      second lump sum license fee of $5,000,000 is payable to Novogen on the later
      of
      November 1, 2003 or such date when the cumulative total of all funds received
      from debt or equity issuances and revenue received from commercialization
      (income other than sales) and sales of phenoxodiol products exceeds $50,000,000.
      The Company has not yet reached these preconditions for payment.





2.
      In
      addition to the amounts above, until the expiration of the exclusivity period
      of
      the license, MEPL must pay Novogen 2.5% of all net sales and 25% of
      commercialization income. After the exclusivity period of the license, 1.5%
      of
      net sales must be paid to Novogen.





3.
      In
      addition to the amounts above, beginning in 2006, an $8 million annual milestone
      license fee is payable under the license agreement for each calendar year ended
      December 31 during the exclusivity period of the license.





Milestone
      license fees of $4,000,000 have been accrued as at the end of December 31,
      2005
      in connection with the annual milestone payment due within 30 days following
      the
      end of the calendar year December 31, 2005. The Company paid the December 31,
      2005 annual milestone license fee of $4,000,000 due to Novogen at the end of
      January 2006.





**License
      Option Deed**





The
      license option deed grants MEPL an exclusive right to accept and an exclusive
      right to match any proposed dealing by Novogen of its intellectual property
      rights with a third party relating to synthetic compounds (other than
      phenoxodiol) that have known or potential applications in the field of
      prevention, treatment or cure of cancer in humans in all forms other than
      topical applications.

**Services
      Agreement**





The
      Company does not currently intend to directly employ any staff. Under the terms
      of the services agreement, Novogen Limited or its subsidiaries have agreed
      to
      provide services reasonably required by the Company relating to the development
      and commercialization of phenoxodiol. Novogen has agreed to provide these
      services at cost plus a 10% mark-up. The Company may terminate the agreement
      on
      three months written notice to Novogen.





Transactions
      giving rise to expenditures amounting to $651,000 and $522,000 were made under
      the services agreement with Novogen during the six months ended December 31,
      2005 and 2004, respectively. Of these amounts, $296,000 and $187,000 related
      to
      service fees paid to Novogen for research and development services provided

      to
      parent company.





**Manufacturing
      License and Supply Agreement**





Under
      the
      terms of the manufacturing license and supply agreement, MEPL has granted to
      one
      of Novogen’s subsidiaries an exclusive, non-transferable sub license to
      manufacture and supply phenoxodiol in its primary manufactured form. Novogen’s

      giving rise to expenditures amounting to $226,000 and $220,000 were made under
      the manufacturing license and supply agreement with Novogen during the six
      months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.





At
      December 31, 2005 and 2004, $31,000 and $30,000, respectively, were due and
      owing to Novogen under the manufacturing license and supply agreement and are
      included in amounts due to parent company.

 **Overview**





MEI
      is a
      development stage company incorporated on December 1, 2000 as a wholly-owned
      subsidiary of Novogen. The Company commenced operations in May 2002 and its
      business purpose is the development and commercialization of drugs for the
      treatment of cancer. The Company is presently engaged in the clinical
      development of the anti-cancer drug candidate called phenoxodiol. Novogen’s
      subsidiary has granted to the Company’s subsidiary, a worldwide non-transferable
      license under its patent right and patent applications and its relevant know-how
      to conduct clinical trials and commercialize and distribute all forms of
      phenoxodiol for uses in the field of prevention, treatment, and cure of cancer
      in humans, except topical applications. Novogen currently owns approximately
      86.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.





The
      Company’s main focus during fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and in the six
      months ended December 31, 2005 was to undertake human clinical testing of
      phenoxodiol. During the six months ended December 31, 2005, the Company
      continued to recruit patients into the existing clinical trial programs. The
      Company is also in the planning phase of its phase III multinational ovarian
      cancer efficacy study.




The
      Company does not employ any staff directly but obtains services from Novogen
      under a services agreement. The Company has incurred losses since inception
      and
      expects to incur operating losses and generate negative cash flows from
      operations for the foreseeable future as it expands research and development
      activities and moves phenoxodiol into later stages of development. As of
      December 31, 2005, the Company had accumulated losses of
      $21,696,000.





The
      Company has not generated any revenues from operations since inception other
      than interest on cash assets.





Expenses
      have consisted primarily of costs associated with conducting the clinical trials
      of phenoxodiol and costs incurred under the license agreement, the services
      agreement and the manufacturing license and supply agreements with Novogen
      and
      its subsidiaries, including the costs of the clinical trial drug
      supplies.




16




To
      date,
      operations have been funded primarily through the sale of equity
      securities.





The
      Company expects that quarterly and annual operating results of operations will
      fluctuate for the foreseeable future due to several factors including the timing
      and extent of research and development efforts and the outcome and extent of
      clinical trial activities. The Company’s limited operating history makes
      accurate prediction of future operating results difficult or
      impossible.





**Critical
      Accounting Estimates**





The
      preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
      accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
      management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
      in
      the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
      from those estimates.

      and development costs incurred since inception through December 31, 2005
      aggregate to $7,808,000.





Research
      and development costs include clinical trial expenses and are expensed as they
      are incurred and are expected to increase in the future as the phenoxodiol
      clinical program progresses.





Historical
      research and development costs and clinical trial costs have not been documented
      on a project by project basis. In addition, research and development resources
      are supplied by Novogen across several projects. As a result, the costs incurred
      for each clinical project cannot be stated precisely on a project by project
      basis.





The
      Company expects that a large percentage of research and development expenses
      in
      the future will be incurred in support of current and future clinical
      development programs. These expenditures are subject to a number of
      uncertainties in timing and cost to completion.





The
      duration and cost of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of
      a
      project as a result of:




• the
      number of sites included in the trials;





• the
      length of time required to enroll suitable patients;





• the
      number of patients that participate in the trials;





• the
      end points and analyses required for regulatory approval; and





• the
      efficacy and safety profile of the product.





The
      Company’s strategy also includes the option of entering into collaborative
      arrangements with third parties to participate in the development and
      commercialization of phenoxodiol. In the event third parties have control over
      the clinical development process, the completion date would largely be under
      the
      control of that third party.





17


As
      a
      result of these uncertainties, the Company is unable to determine the duration
      of or completion costs for research and development projects or when and to
      what
      extent it will receive cash inflows from the commercialization and sale of
      phenoxodiol.





The
      Company intends to continue the clinical development of phenoxodiol and to
      assess the opportunity to license other cancer drugs developed by Novogen as
      the
      opportunities arise.





*Clinical
      Trial Expenses*





Estimates
      have been used in determining the expense liability under certain clinical
      trial
      contracts where services have been performed but not yet invoiced. The actual
      costs of those services could differ in amount and timing from the estimates
      used in completing the financial results.





Clinical
      trial expenses of $296,000 have been accrued at December 31, 2005. These
      estimates are based on the number of patients in each trial and the patient
      treatment cycles completed or milestones achieved.





Clinical
      research contracts may vary depending on the clinical trial design and protocol.
      Generally the costs, and therefore estimates, associated with clinical trial
      contracts are based on the number of patients, patient treatment cycles, the
      type of treatment and the outcome being measured. The length of time before
      actual amounts can be determined will vary depending on length of the patient
      cycles and the timing of the invoices by the clinical trial
      partners.








**Results
      of Operations**





**Three
      Months Ended December 2005 and 2004**





The
      Company recorded a consolidated loss of $1,778,000 and $1,375,000 for the three
      months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.





**Revenues:**
      The Company received interest on cash assets and cash equivalents and short
      term
      investments of $130,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 versus
      $64,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The increase was due
      to an
      increase in interest rates combined with the Company investing some of its
      cash
      in short term investment deposits which yield a greater rate of return than
      cash
      accounts.





**Research
      and Development:** Research and Development expenses decreased $74,000 to
      $469,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 compared to $543,000
      for
      the three months ended December 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to
      lower clinical trial expenses as the current trials are nearing completion.
      The
      Company expects research and development clinical trial expenses to increase
      in
      the future in accordance with the planned clinical trial program.





**License
      Fees:**Milestone license fees of $1,000,000 have been accrued in the
      three months ended December 31, 2005 in connection with the annual milestone
      license fee of $4,000,000 that is payable to Novogen, within 30 days after
      December 31, 2005 under the terms of the license agreement with Novogen.
      Milestone license fees of $500,000 were accrued during the three months ended
      December 31, 2004 in connection with the annual milestone license fee of
      $2,000,000 due to Novogen December 31, 2004. Milestone license fees are expected
      to increase to $8 million per year under the terms of the license agreement
      with
      Novogen.





18


**Selling,
      General and Administrative:**Selling, administrative and general
      expenses increased by $43,000 to $439,000 for the three months ended December
      31, 2005 compared to $396,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004.
      The
      increase was due primarily to additional spending on public relations, and
      additional costs of filing fees and share registry costs. Foreign exchange
      gains/(losses) are included in selling, general and administrative expenses
      and
      occur when revaluing cash denominated in foreign currencies and upon
      consolidation of MEI’s wholly owned Australian subsidiary Marshall Edwards Pty
      Ltd (“MEPL”). MEPL uses U.S. dollars as its functional currency and also engages
      in transactions in foreign currencies. Further, MEPL’s accounts and financial
      statements are denominated in Australian dollars. Translation of MEPL’s
      financial statements into U.S. dollars did not have a material impact on the
      Company’s financial position. Net foreign exchange losses during the three
      months ended December 31, 2005 were $16,000 compared with net foreign exchange
      losses of $16,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2004.





**Six
      Months Ended December 2005 and 2004**





The
      Company recorded a consolidated loss of $3,581,000 and $2,605,000 for the six
      months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.





**Revenues:**
      The Company received interest on cash assets and cash equivalents and short
      term
      investments of $252,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005 versus
      $131,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. The increase was due to
      an
      increase in interest rates combined with the Company investing some of its
      cash
      in short term investment deposits which yield a greater rate of return than
      cash
      accounts.





**Research
      and Development:** Research and Development expenses increased $73,000 to
      $1,055,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005 compared to $982,000
      for
      the six months ended December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to the
      additional costs charged under the Novogen Services Agreement, reflecting
      increased time spent by Novogen research staff on the development of
      phenoxodiol. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in the amount
      spent on legal advice relating to the development of phenoxodiol and reduced
      clinical trial expenses. The Company expects research and development clinical
      trial expenses to increase in the future in accordance with the planned clinical
      trial program.





**License
      Fees:**Milestone license fees of $2,000,000 were accrued in the six
      months ended December 31, 2005 in connection with the annual milestone license
      fee of $4,000,000 that is payable to Novogen, within 30 days, after December
      31,
      2005 under the terms of the license agreement with Novogen. The December 31,
      2005 milestone license fee of $4,000,000 was paid to Novogen in January 2006.
      .Milestone license fees of $1,000,000 were accrued during the six months ended
      December 31, 2004 in connection with the annual milestone license fee of
      $2,000,000 due to Novogen December 31, 2004. The December 31, 2004 milestone
      license fee of $2,000,000 was paid to Novogen in January 2005.








19


**Selling,
      General and Administrative:**Selling, administrative and general
      expenses increased by $24,000 to $778,000 for the six months ended December
      31,
      2005 compared to $754,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. The
      increase was due to additional cost of compliance, additional share registry
      costs and additional fees charged under the Services agreement with Novogen
      partially offset by a reduction in foreign exchange losses. Foreign exchange
      gains/(losses) are included in selling, general and administrative expenses
      and
      occur when revaluing cash denominated in foreign currencies and upon
      consolidation of MEI’s wholly owned Australian subsidiary Marshall Edwards Pty
      Ltd (“MEPL”). MEPL uses U.S. dollars as its functional currency and also engages
      in transactions in foreign currencies. Further, MEPL’s accounts and financial
      statements are denominated in Australian dollars. Translation of MEPL’s
      financial statements into U.S. dollars did not have a material impact on the
      Company’s financial position. Net foreign exchange losses during the six months
      ended December 31, 2005 were $19,000 compared with net foreign exchange losses
      of $40,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2004.





**Liquidity
      and Capital Resources**





At
      December 31, 2005, the Company had cash resources of $17,735,000 compared to
      $19,238,000 at June 30, 2005. Funds are invested in short term market accounts,
      pending use. The implementation of the Company’s business plan is dependent on
      the Company’s ability to maintain adequate cash resources to complete the
      clinical development program.








**Source
      and Uses of Cash**




*Cash
      Used in Operating Activities*





Cash
      used
      in operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was
      $1,503,000 compared to $1,713,000 for the same period in 2004. The decrease
      in
      cash outflow of $210,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was due
      primarily to the timing of clinical trial payments as the current clinical
      trials are nearing completion.





*Cash
      Requirements*





The
      Company believes that it will have to raise additional cash resources during
      the
      calendar year to fund its planned operations, and the Company is currently
      assessing the financing alternatives available to it.





The
      Company is planning to conduct a phase III clinical study to support marketing
      approval of phenoxodiol for ovarian cancer. The trial will use phenoxodiol
      in
      combination with an existing chemotherapeutic and will assess phenoxodiol’s
      safety and efficacy for late stage ovarian cancer patients who are refractory
      to
      standard chemotherapies. The Company is discussing trial design with the FDA
      to
      develop a trial protocol, including the number of treatment arms needed to
      be
      completed and the number of patients required to be tested in each arm. The
      Company has not completed the trial design and has not finally determined the
      cash resources needed to complete the trial.





Novogen
      has notified the Company that its new anti-cancer compound NV-196 (previously
      referred to as NV-18) is now an “option compound” under the terms of the license
      option deed and that Novogen has commenced phase I clinical trials. The Company
      has commissioned an independent evaluation report on NV-196 and will review
      initial clinical results before making a decision to commence license
      negotiations with Novogen. Additional cash resources will be required to enable
      the Company to confirm a license for NV-196 and to enable it to undertake the
      clinical development program for that compound.





20


Ongoing
      operations through the conduct of the clinical trial program will continue
      to
      consume cash resources without generating revenues and the Company will require
      additional cash resources to expand the clinical trial program for phenoxodiol
      in the treatment of prostate cancer.





The
      Company is also required to make payments under the terms of the license
      agreement with Novogen as follows:





1.
      A
      second lump sum license fee of $5,000,000 is payable to Novogen on the later
      of
      November 1, 2003 or such date when the cumulative total of all funds received
      from debt or equity issuances and revenue received from commercialization
      (income other than sales) and sales of phenoxodiol products exceeds $50,000,000.
      The Company has not yet reached these preconditions for payment.





2.
      In
      addition to the amounts above, until the expiration of the exclusivity period
      of
      the license, MEPL must pay Novogen 2.5% of all net sales and 25% of
      commercialization income. After the exclusivity period of the license, 1.5%
      of
      net sales must be paid to Novogen.





3.
      In
      addition to the amounts above, beginning in 2006, an $8 million annual milestone
      license fee is payable under the license agreement for each calendar year ended
      December 31 during the exclusivity period of the license.





At
      June
      30, 2005 an amount of $2,000,000 was accrued and reflected in amounts due to
      the
      parent company, being 50% of the $4,000,000 milestone payment payable to Novogen
      on December 31, 2005 under the terms of the license agreement with Novogen.
      An
      additional milestone license fee accrual of $2,000,000 was made at December
      31,
      2005 in connection with the $4,000,000 payment due within 30 days following
      the
      end of the calendar year, December 31, 2005. The Company paid the December
      31,
      2005 annual milestone license fee of $4,000,000 due to Novogen at the end of
      January 2006.





The
      Company will also be required to make payments to Novogen under the services
      agreement and manufacturing license and supply agreement.





The
      Company does not intend to incur any significant capital expenditures in the
      foreseeable future.





*Off-Balance
      Sheet Arrangements*





The
      Company does not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

      the agreements are subject to termination provisions.








*New
      Accounting Pronouncements*




Share-Based
      Payments




In
      December 2004, the FASB Issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
      No.
      123R (Statement 123R), "Share-Based Payments", the provisions of which are
      effective for the Company in fiscal 2006. This Statement eliminates the
      alternative to use APB No. 25's intrinsic value method of accounting that was
      provided in Statement 123 as originally issued. Statement 123R requires
      companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for
      awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards.
      While the fair-value-based method prescribed by Statement 123R is similar to
      the
      fair-value-based method disclosed under the provisions of Statement 123 in
      most
      respects, there are some differences. The Company’s stock option plan provides
      for the grant of options to the Company’s directors, employees, employees of the
      Company’s affiliates and certain of the Company’s contractors and consultants.
      To date no options have been issued under the plan.

Item
      3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk







**Interest
      Rate Risk**





The
      Company places cash in “on call” deposits and short term investments with high
      quality financial institutions.





The
      Company does not consider the effects of interest rate movements to be a
      material risk to its financial condition. The Company does not use derivative
      financial instruments to hedge its risks associated with the fluctuations of
      interest rates.





**Foreign
      Currency Risk**





The
      Company conducts a portion of its business in various currencies, primarily
      in
      U.S. and Australian dollars. At December 31, 2005, the Company had not
      established a foreign currency hedging program. Net foreign exchange losses
      during the six months ended December 31, 2005 were $19,000 compared with net
      foreign exchange losses of $40,000 during the six months ended December 31,
      2004. Foreign exchange gains and losses occur upon consolidation of MEPL, which
      uses U.S. dollars as its functional currency and also engages in transactions
      in
      foreign currencies. MEPL’s accounts are denominated in Australian dollars.
      Translation of MEPL’s financial statements into U.S. dollars did not have a
      material impact on the Company’s financial position.





The
      Company does not consider the effects of foreign currency movements to be a
      material risk to its financial condition.








23


Item
      4: Controls and Procedures




**Evaluation
      of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**





At
      the
      end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s management, with the
      participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal
      financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure
      controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
      the
      Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on this evaluation, the
      Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have
      concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to
      ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports
      that
      it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
      and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange
      Commission rules and forms.




The
      removal of the identified weakness in internal control over financial reporting
      and in disclosure controls, which was identified and reported in prior filings,
      is described below under the heading “Changes in Internal
      Controls”.






**Changes
      in Internal Controls**





In
      2004,
      the Company determined that the personnel and management of Novogen who perform
      its accounting and financial reporting functions pursuant to the services
      agreement were not sufficiently expert in U.S. GAAP and the requirements of
      the
      SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and that this lack of
      expertise represented a material weakness in the operation of the Company’s
      internal control over financial reporting.





In
      addition, the Company had concluded that its system of financial reporting
      was
      not designed to prepare financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and
      that its system of internal control, in particular the processes to review
      and
      analyze elements of the financial statement close process and prepare
      consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, had not reduced
      to a relatively low level the risk that errors in amounts that would be material
      in relation to those financial statements may occur and may not be detected
      within a timely period by management in the normal course of
      business.





In
      this
      regard, the Company required that Novogen engage personnel with expertise or
      train existing personnel in the following areas:


·
            U.S.
                GAAP;


·
            financial
                reporting in accordance with the SEC
                regulations;


·
            requirements
                of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
                and


·
            application
                of technical accounting
                pronouncements.





Prior
      to
      the period covered by this report, Novogen had made significant progress in
      implementing its plan to address the identified material weakness. However,
      as
      of the end of such reporting periods the Company was not satisfied that Novogen
      had fully addressed the issues underlying the material weakness. During the
      period covered by this report, Novogen finalized its procedures in addressing
      the material weakness and the Company now believes that Novogen has adopted
      processes that are designed to ensure that the preparation of the Company’s
      consolidated financial statements, including the processes to review and analyze
      elements of the Company’s financial statement close process, is in accordance
      with U.S. GAAP and that relevant information about U.S. GAAP, SEC financial
      reporting requirements and the requirements of the Public Company Accounting
      Oversight Board is available to those persons involved in the process by which
      the financial statements are prepared. As a result, the Company has re-assessed
      the effectiveness of Novogen’s disclosure controls and procedures as they relate
      to the Company and having allowed a period of time to determine the
      effectiveness of additional controls and procedures, it now believes that the
      weakness in internal accounting control as described above has been
      eliminated.


24


The
      changes that have been made to Novogen’s internal control procedures have
      occurred gradually over time. Therefore, during the quarter ended December
      31,

      on
      Form S-1 pursuant to Rule 462(b), both relating to the initial public offering
      in the United States of common stock units (each unit consisting of one share
      of
      the Company’s common stock and one warrant to purchase a share of the Company’s
      common stock at an exercise price of $9.00 per share), was December 17, 2003.
      Proceeds to the Company from the offering, after deduction of underwriting
      discounts and commissions of approximately $806,000 and offering costs of
      approximately $1,612,000, totalled approximately $15,522,000. As of December
      31,
      2005, the Company had used $14,569,000 of the proceeds of the offering, of
      which: $5,000,000 was used to make the first license fee payment due to Novogen
      under the terms of the license agreement; $2,000,000 was used to make the
      milestone license fee payment due to Novogen under the terms of the license
      agreement; and $7,569,000 was used to pay the ongoing expenses of clinical
      trials, amounts due to Novogen under the services agreement and the
      manufacturing license and supply agreement and for general corporate expenses.
      All remaining proceeds of the offering have been invested in short-term money
      market accounts.





The
      Company has used the remainder of the proceeds from the offering to partly
      pay
      the December 31, 2005 annual milestone license fee of $4,000,000 paid to Novogen
      at the end of January 2006.
