The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'consolidated entity') consisting of Kazia Therapeutics Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 31 December 2022.

**Directors** 

The following persons were directors of Kazia Therapeutics Limited during the whole of the financial year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:

Iain Ross

Bryce Carmine

Steven Coffey

James Garner

**Principal activities** 

During the financial year the principal continuing activity of the consolidated entity consisted of pharmaceutical research and development.

**Review of operations** 

The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $13,586,027 (31 December 2021 restated: $13,201,848).

The attached financial statements detail the performance and financial position of the consolidated entity for the half-year ended 31 December 2022.

*Cash resources* 

At 31 December 2022, the consolidated entity had total funds of $4,390,523 comprising cash in hand and at bank.

*Research and development report* 

The lead R&D program for the consolidated entity is paxalisib (formerly known as GDC-0084), a small-molecule dual inhibitor of the phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which was licensed from Genentech, Inc. in October 2016. The development candidate is distinguished from the majority of molecules in this class by its ability to cross to the blood-brain barrier, which has been demonstrated in multiple animal species and confirmed in human data.

Paxalisib is protected by granted or pending composition-of-matter patents in all commercially relevant territories. Loss of exclusivity varies between territories, but is no earlier than 2030 in any territory. Paxalisib was granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) for glioblastoma by the US FDA in February 2018, and for the broader indication of glioma in August 2020. Paxalisib was granted Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD) for certain forms of childhood brain cancer by the US FDA in August 2020, and was also granted Fast Track Designation for glioblastoma in August 2020. In addition, paxalisib was granted ODD by the US FDA for the treatment of atypical rhabdoid/teratoid tumours (AT/RT), a rare pediatric brain cancer, in June 2022 and RPDD in July 2022. Paxalisib was also granted Fast Track Designation for glioblastoma in August 2020. Collectively, these special designations provide paxalisib with enhanced access to the FDA, a waiver of PDUFA fees, a period of data exclusivity and, in the specific cases of RPDD, the potential to secure a pediatric Priority Review Voucher (pPRV) should paxalisib be approved in either of these indications.

Paxalisib has completed a 47-patient phase I clinical study under Genentech in patients with progressive or recurrent high grade glioma (NCT01547546), which showed the drug to be generally safe and well-tolerated, and which provided pharmacodynamic proof of concept and signals of potential clinical activity. This study was published in *Clinical Cancer Research*, and a companion paper detailing a post hoc analysis of imaging data from the study has been published in the same journal.

Kazia has completed a phase II clinical trial of paxalisib in newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients with unmethylated MGMT promotor status (NCT03522298), which is expected to be the primarily target population at commercial launch. This study has confirmed the safety profile and pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug in this specific population, and has provided convincing signals of clinical efficacy. Final data from the completed phase ll study of paxalisib was presented at several neuro-oncology and medical oncology conferences. The key findings included a median overall survival of 15.7 months, which compares favorably to the figure of 12.7 months that has been reported for temolozolomide, the existing standard of care.

In October 2020, the company executed a definitive agreement with the Global Coalition for Adaptive Research (GCAR) to introduce paxalisib into the ongoing adaptive platform study, GBM AGILE (NCT03970447). This study is designed to provide substantial evidence for approval of new drugs in glioblastoma, and is intended to serve as the pivotal study for paxalisib in US, EU, and other markets. The first patient recruited by a site opened to the paxalisib arm occurred on 7 January 2021. In November 2021, the study opened to recruitment in Canada. Expansion to several countries in Europe was completed during CY2022. Final data from the GBM AGILE study is anticipated during 2H CY2023.

On 1 August 2022, the company announced that it had been informed by GCAR that the paxalisib arm had not graduated to the second stage of the GBM AGILE study, and that recruitment had therefore completed with approximately 150 patients enrolled to the first stage. Those patients remain ongoing, with final data anticipated in 2H CY2023. The interim 'graduation' analysis may have been affected by the rapid and back-loaded recruitment profile of the study, and does not preclude a positive outcome in the final data.

Seven investigator-initiated studies continued to progress during the period: a phase I study with paxalisib in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) at St Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN (NCT03696355), a phase ll study in DIPG and other diffuse midline pediatric gliomas run by the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC) (NCT05009992) (see description below), a phase II study with paxalisib in HER2+ breast cancer brain metastases at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA (NCT03765983), a phase II multi-drug, genomically-guided study in brain metastases run by the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology (NCT03994796), a phase I study with paxalisib in combination with radiotherapy for brain metastases at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, NY (NCT04192981), a phase II study with paxalisib in primary CNS lymphoma at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA(NCT04906096), and a phase ll study in glioblastoma with ketogenesis run by Weill Cornell Medicine (NCT05183204).

The investigator-initiated PNOC study is a phase II multi-arm study, which includes several combinations of paxalisib with ONC201 (Chimerix, Inc), in paediatric patients with diffuse midline gliomas, including DIPG (NCT05009992). This study is run by the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC), based at the University of California, San Francisco. In October 2022, the Company announced the expansion of the PNOC022 study to Australia and additional sites in Israel, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. The study is currently open to recruitment at 22 sites globally.

In August 2022, the Company announced the presentation of promising new data from an ongoing phase l study of paxalisib in combination with radiotherapy for the treatment of brain metastases, sponsored by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, NY. Interim data from the first stage of the study was presented during an oral presentation at an international neuro-oncology conference on CNS clinical trials and brain metastases. The data reported in the initial exploratory stage that of the 9 patients evaluated for efficacy, all 9 patients exhibited complete or partial response, according to RANO-BM criteria, with breast cancer representing the most common primary tumour. Recruitment to the expansion stage has commenced, with the objective of recruiting an additional 12 patients.

In the context of a previously declared strategy to explore the use of paxalisib in cancers outside the central nervous system, the Company has entered into a number of research collaborations with leading cancer centers. In October 2022, such a collaboration at the Huntsman Cancer Center at the University of Utah presented preclinical data for paxalisib in melanoma at a conference for melanoma research in Edinburgh, Scotland. The data, summarized in a poster presentation, demonstrated potent single agent activity for paxalisib, as well as synergy with BRAF and MEK inhibitors, which are standard of care therapies in this disease.

In December 2022, the Company announced the existence of a research collaboration with the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, to explore the use of paxalisib as an immodulator in the treatment of solid tumours. This work potentially identifies a novel mechanism of action for the drug, and consequently has been patented to secure novel intellectual property. Potentially, the project may support use of the drug in combination with immuno-oncology therapies.

The company's second R&D program is EVT801, a small-molecule selective inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3), which was licensed from Evotec SE in April 2021. The development candidate exhibits a very high degree of selectivity for VEGFR3 over other protein kinases, and this is expected to be associated with a favourable toxicity profile in the clinic and, potentially, a lesser propensity for secondary resistance.

In November 2021, the company commenced recruitment to a phase I multiple-ascending dose study of EVT801 in patients with advanced cancer (NCT05114668). This study is designed to provide information on the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of EVT801 in humans, and to establish the maximum tolerated dose for future studies. The study also includes a rich suite of translational biomarkers which will provide detailed information about the pharmacological activity of the drug. The study is ongoing at two sites in France, with initial data anticipated in CY2023.

In December 2022, scientists working for and with Evotec SE, the Company's licensing partner for EVT801, published a summary of their preclinical research on the drug in the cancer journal, Cancer Research Communications. The paper outlines the substantial body of evidence supporting the activity of EVT801 as an anti-cancer therapy, and includes comparative data against several approved therapies with similar mechanisms of action. The paper also presents combination data with several immuno-oncology agents showing evidence of synergy.

**Significant changes in the state of affairs** 

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial half-year.

**Matters subsequent to the end of the financial half-year** 

On 3 January 2023 a deposit of US$428,096 was received from Labcorp Early Development Laboratories Inc. representing the refund due on the completion of the Paxalisib Phase II trial.

On 16 January 2023 Kazia announced a placement to professional and sophisticated investors and the launch of an associated Share Purchase Plan for eligible shareholders. The placement of A$4,500,000, comprised of an unconditional placement of A$2,792,572 at $0.11 per share; and a conditional placement of A$1,707,428 at $0.11 per share, and was approved by shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 24 February 2023. Each placement was made to professional and sophisticated investors. The Placement was not underwritten. In addition, eligible shareholders were offered the opportunity to acquire up to A$30,000 of new shares through a Share Purchase Plan (SPP). All new shares issued under the Placement and the SPP ranked equally with the existing ordinary shares. Funding will be used to drive Kazia's clinical program toward several critical inflection points through CY2023, including the final data read out on the paxalisib GBM AGILE study and for general working capital purposes. Funds raised by the SPP totalled A$2,606,000.

**Note 1. Significant accounting policies** 

These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2022 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022 and any public announcements made by the company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.

**New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted** 

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.

**Going concern** 

During the half year ended 31 December 2022 the consolidated entity experienced net cash outflows from operating activities of $8,806,148 (December 2021: $11,391,410) and incurred a loss after tax of $13,586,027 (December 2021 restated: $13,201,848).

As at 31 December 2022 the consolidated entity had cash in hand and at bank of $4,390,523.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal activities and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. As is often the case with drug development companies, the ability of the consolidated entity to continue its development activities as a going concern is dependent upon it deriving sufficient cash from investors, from licensing and partnering activities, and from other sources of revenue such as grant funding.

The directors have considered the cash flow forecasts and the funding requirements of the business and continue to explore grant funding, licensing opportunities and equity investment opportunities in the Company.

An 'at-the-market' equity program (ATM) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (Oppenheimer), as sales agent was established in May 2022. Under the ATM, Kazia may offer and sell via Oppenheimer up to US$35 million of its ordinary shares, in the form of American Depository Shares (ADSs), with each ADS representing ten ordinary shares. Kazia entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement, dated 22 April 2022 (the Sales Agreement), with Oppenheimer, who acts as sales agent. As at 31 December 2022 net proceeds of A$9,560,357 have been raised.

On 3 January 2023 a deposit of US$428,096 was received from Labcorp Early Development Laboratories Inc. representing the refund due on the completion of the Paxalisib Phase II trial.

On 16 January 2023 Kazia announced a placement to professional and sophisticated investors and the launch of an associated Share Purchase Plan for eligible shareholders. The placement of A$4,500,000, comprised of an unconditional placement of A$2,792,572 at $0.11 per share; and a conditional placement of A$1,707,428 at $0.11 per share, and was approved by shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 24 February 2023. Each placement was made to professional and sophisticated investors. The Placement was not underwritten. In addition, eligible shareholders were offered the opportunity to acquire up to A$30,000 of new shares through a Share Purchase Plan (SPP). All new shares issued under the Placement and the SPP ranked equally with the existing ordinary shares. Funding will be used to drive Kazia's clinical program toward several critical inflection points through CY2023, including the final data read out on the paxalisib GBM AGILE study and for general working capital purposes.

Accordingly the directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. While the Company's current cash balance is not sufficient to fund the operations for a period of 12 months from the date of this report, the directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis as they are confident of the Company's ability to raise additional funding, via licensing and partnering activities, obtaining of grant funding or raising additional capital from investors. Should the above assumptions not prove to be appropriate, there is material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt whether the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in these financial statements.

**Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions** 

When preparing the half-year financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management and will seldom equal the estimated results.

The judgments, estimates and assumptions applied in the half-year financial statements, including key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Group's last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022.

**Note 3. Restatement of comparatives** 

*Correction of error* 

During the December 2022 review, the calculation of the EVT-801 asset and its contingent consideration was found to contain errors as discounting for the time value of money was not taken into account on initial recognition.

The contractual payments in relation to the milestones gave rise to a financial liability at acquisition. The cost of the intangible asset should comprise the initial payment plus an amount reflecting the fair value of the other contingent payments determined using a probability–weighted estimation. These values should be discounted to reflect the time value of money at the time of acquisition in April 2021. Management have utilised an Incremental Borrowing Rate of 6% to discount the future cash flows. The Incremental Borrowing Rate reflects the assumed credit rating of the Company.

The error resulted in a material overstatement of the EVT-801 asset and a corresponding overstatement of the liability at acquisition. The impact of this error is noted below with the restated balances disclosed in note 10,14 and 16:

**Note 4. Operating segments** 

*Identification of reportable operating segments* 

The consolidated entity's operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (being the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The information reported to the CODM, on at least a quarterly basis, is the consolidated results as shown in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and statement of financial position.

*Contingent consideration - paxalisib* 

During the 2017 financial year, the consolidated entity acquired 100% of the issued shares in Glioblast Pty Ltd, a privately held, neuro-oncology-focused Australian biotechnology company. On the same day, Kazia entered into a worldwide licensing agreement with Genentech to develop and commercialise GDC-0084, now known as paxalisib.

The Glioblast acquisition contains four contingent milestone payments, the first two milestone payments are to be settled with Kazia shares, and the third and fourth milestone payments are to be settled with either cash or Kazia shares at the discretion of Kazia. Milestones 1 and 4 have now been paid out, and Milestone 3 has lapsed. Milestone 2 comprises shares to the value of $1,250,000.

The Genentech agreement comprises of one milestone payment payable on the first commercial licensed product sale, in the amount of $1,394,000.

Each milestone payment is probability weighted for valuation purposes. The milestone payments are discounted to present value, using a discount rate of 15% (previously 35%) per annum. The discount rate was considered at 30 June 2021 and it was determined that the risk of the asset, and therefore of the milestones being met, has been considerably decreased as a result of paxalisib entering the pivotal GBM Agile trial, which is progressing well, and the license transaction with Simcere Pharmaceutical Group, which provides an external validation of paxalisib. Accordingly, the discount rate applied to future expected cash flows has been revised downwards.

Kazia is also required to pay royalties to Genentech in relation to net sales. These payments are related to future financial performance, and are not considered as part of the consideration in relation to the Genentech agreement.

*Contingent consideration - EVT801* 

The acquisition of EVT801 has been accounted for at cost, with milestones where the payment is considered probable being booked as a current or non-current liability at period end, according to the estimated payment date. The milestone payments that have a probability of 100% are discounted to present value, using a discount rate of 6% per annum. The discount rate was considered based on the incremental borrowing rate at the time of acquisition. Milestones where the payment is not considered probable at year end have not been accounted for as a liability. The total amount of milestone payments not booked at year end amounts to €300,500,000 ($472,558,578).

Funding will be used to drive Kazia's clinical program toward several critical inflection points through CY2023, including the final data read out on the paxalisib GBM AGILE study and for general working capital purposes. Funds raised by the SPP totalled A$2,606,000.

**INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT**

To the directors of Kazia Therapeutics Limited

**Report on the Half-Year Financial Report**

**Conclusion**

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Kazia Therapeutics Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of the Group does not comply with the *Corporations Act 2001* including:

(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2022 and of its financial
performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

(ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 *Interim Financial Reporting* and the *Corporations Regulations 2001.* 

**Basis for conclusion**

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 *Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity*. Our responsibilities are further described in the *Auditor's Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report* section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the *Corporations Act 2001* and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 *Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards)* (the Code) that are relevant to the audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the *Corporations Act 2001* which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.

**Material uncertainty relating to going concern**

We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

BDO Audit Pty Ltd ABN 33 134 022 870 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

**Responsibility of the directors for the financial report** 

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the *Corporations Act 2001* and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

**Auditor's responsibility for the review of the financial report**

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2022 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

**Key Points**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• AU$4.5 million raised from existing sophisticated and institutional investors, as announced to ASX on 16 January
2023. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• AU$2.606 million raised from existing shareholders via Share Purchase Plan (SPP), which closed on 24 February

pipeline, which comprises two assets in nine clinical trials.

development candidates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash inflows provide runway to 4Q CY2023, on current cashflow forecast.

"We are grateful for the emphatic support of our shareholders," commented Iain Ross, Chairman of the Board at Kazia Therapeutics. "The proceeds of this financing will help the company to deliver a number of key read-outs during CY2023, which we expect to materially advance the development of our two assets, and in particular to position paxalisib for its further development and ultimate commercialization."

**About Kazia Therapeutics Limited** 

Kazia Therapeutics Limited (NASDAQ: KZIA; ASX: KZA) is an oncology-focused drug development company, based in Sydney, Australia.

Our lead program is paxalisib, a brain-penetrant inhibitor of the PI3K / Akt / mTOR pathway, which is being developed to treat multiple forms of brain cancer. Licensed from Genentech in late 2016, paxalisib is or has been the subject of ten clinical trials in this disease. A completed phase II study in glioblastoma reported promising signals of efficacy in 2021, and a pivotal study for registration, GBM AGILE, is ongoing, with final data expected in CY2023. Other clinical trials are ongoing in brain metastases, diffuse midline gliomas, and primary CNS lymphoma, with several of these having reported encouraging interim data.

Paxalisib was granted Orphan Drug Designation for glioblastoma by the US FDA in February 2018, and Fast Track Designation for glioblastoma by the US FDA in August 2020. In addition, paxalisib was granted Rare Pediatric Disease Designation and Orphan Designation by the US FDA for DIPG in August 2020, and for atypical teratoid / rhabdoid tumours (AT/RT) in June 2022 and July 2022, respectively.

Kazia is also developing EVT801, a small-molecule inhibitor of VEGFR3, which was licensed from Evotec SE in April 2021. Preclinical data has shown EVT801 to be active against a broad range of tumour types and has provided compelling evidence of synergy with immuno-oncology agents. A phase I study commenced recruitment in November 2021.
