New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of Australian stocks, typically moving 17% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change). Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$411k revenue, or US$283k). Market cap is less than US$10m (AU$9.41m market cap, or US$6.48m).

New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: AU$13.7m (US$9.88m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$411k revenue, or US$297k). Market cap is less than US$10m (AU$13.7m market cap, or US$9.88m). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (15% average weekly change).

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 27% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$411k revenue, or US$295k). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (27% increase in shares outstanding).

Firebrick Pharma Limited Announces That Trial Statisticians Have Completed Their Efficacy Analysis of the Headline Results in the Phase 3 Trial of Nasodine® Nasal Spray as A Treatment for the Common Cold Firebrick Pharma Limited announced that trial statisticians have completed their efficacy analysis of the headline results in the Phase 3 trial of Nasodine® Nasal Spray as a treatment for the common cold. The analysis has shown that the trial did not meet its primary endpoint, which was the impact of Nasodine on overall cold severity (GSS) in subjects with a confirmed viral infection (ITTi). Based on the reported results, the placebo (sterile water) performed better than Nasodine. In the QoL (`quality-of-life') measure (functional impairment caused by a cold), the results were also in favour of the placebo in the ITTi. Similar enigmatic results were seen in other population subsets. The results provided to the Company are shown in the table titled: Trial Headline Results Summary. These results are compared in summary form with the previous (2019) Phase 3 trial in the table titled: Phase 3 Trial Comparisons on Key Endpoints. The 2019 trial used the same protocol and treatment regimen as the current (2022-23) trialand both trials were robust Phase 3 trials. The 2019 trial took place in Australia, so a comparison of the results with the current trial for Australian sites only has been undertaken (not shown in summary tables). In the 2019 trial, the GSS benefit of Nasodine in the viral-infected subjects (N=52) was 22.9% (p=0.048), but in the current trial, for Australian sites, the benefit was reversed, with the water placebo outperforming Nasodine by 22.7% in the ITTi (N=181), the result being statistically significant (p=0.024). The reported results also appear to conflict with the Company's recently reported Phase 2 COVID-19 trial, where Nasodine treatment led to 100% clearance of the SARS-CoV-2 virus from the nasal passages. That result was significantly better than the placebo (p=0.028), which was the same water placebo as used in the 2022-23 Phase 3 trial. The Company is concerned that the results are so confounding, unexpected and at odds with previous data that there may be a systematic error or other issue in the data, and a detailed analysis is now underway to try to identify any causes of such an error. To that end, the Company is working with the Contract Research Organisation (CRO) responsible for trial governance and other service providers to thoroughly investigate the trial results. At this time, there is no evidence that the placebo and Nasodine treatments were switched during production, distribution or treatment. Reported Earnings • Aug 30

Firebrick Pharma Limited Provides Update on its Phase 3 Clinical Trial of Nasodine Nasal Spray in Treatment of Common Cold Firebrick Pharma Limited provided an update on its Phase 3 clinical trial of Nasodine Nasal Spray in the treatment of the common cold. As at 31 October, the trial has so far successfully recruited 224 subjects with early-stage colds into the ITT (Intent-To-Treat population), with an estimated 100 qualifying for the primary endpoint population of those with confirmed viral infection (ITTi), based on PCR of a throat and nasal swab. This represents at least 51% of the trial's full recruitment target of 196 subjects in the ITTi. The primary endpoint for the trial is the benefit of Nasodine treatment on overall cold severity 2 in the ITT. In the previous Phase 3 trial, Nasodine produced a statistically significant benefit in the 52 subjects who had confirmed viral infection (see p. 20 of the Company's Prospectus). The current Phase 3 trial was designed to support international registration of Nasodine and if completed by mid-2023, the EU application for approval could be filed by the end of calendar 2023. The US application will require a further Phase 3 trial to be conducted in the US. Duyuru • Oct 27

Firebrick Pharma Limited Starts Phase 3 Common Cold Trial Firebrick Pharma Limited announced that the first patient has been recruited into its confirmatory Phase 3 trial for Nasodine® Nasal Spray ("Nasodine") as a treatment for the common cold. The randomized controlled Phase 3 trial expects to recruit up to 450 adult subjects with early cold symptoms to achieve a target treatment population of 196 subjects, who are confirmed by PCR, to have a viral cold. The primary endpoint of the trial will be the impact of Nasodine treatment (3 sprays per nostril, 4 times daily for 5 days) on overall cold severity in the viral-infected population. Overall cold severity will be measured using the Global Severity Score (GSS) from the WURSS-21 cold severity survey. The trial is a multi-centre international study, with recruitment planned at three sites in Australia and two sites in South Africa. The first site to recruit patients is in Adelaide, with Victorian and South African sites planned to come online over the next month. Trial recruitment at all sites is expected to be completed by October this year. Any subjects found by PCR testing to have SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) will be excluded from the population for assessment of the primary endpoint but retained in the overall study population for assessment of some secondary endpoints. The company has previously completed a Phase 3 trial for the common cold in 2019 at sites in Adelaide and Brisbane. Following the completion of the trial, Firebrick filed a registration dossier with the TGA to determine whether Nasodine could be approved as an OTC (over the counter) treatment for the common cold based on then current data. The TGA has since provided advice to the Company that it has no concerns with the quality or safety of Nasodine, but that clinical efficacy was not satisfactorily established. This second Phase 3 trial was originally intended to support international regulatory approvals, but if the Australian appeal is unsuccessful, it will also be used to support approval in Australia.

Firebrick Pharma Limited Starts COVID-19 Trial of Nasodine Firebrick Pharma Limited announced that the first patient had been recruited into its Phase 2 clinical trial in South Africa of Nasodine® Nasal Spray ("Nasodine") for the management of COVID-19. The trial is scheduled to recruit up to 210 adults who are COVID-positive by Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) to achieve a target treatment population of 144 subjects who will be confirmed by viral culture to be shedding SARS-CoV-2 virus. Depending on patient recruitment, the trial could be completed by August 2022. The study is a randomised, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial, titled: `Reduction of nasal shedding of SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 positive patients by the use of Nasodine® (povidone- iodine 0.5%) Nasal Spray.' The short title for the trial is `Nasodine for Elimination of COVID- 19 Shedding study' or `NASO-ELOCS'. The primary aim of the trial will be to show that frequent Nasodine application (every 2 hours,up to eight-times-daily) over three days leads to a significant reduction in nasal shedding of SARS-CoV-2 virus, compared with a placebo nasal spray. Secondary aims will include whether Nasodine treatment (compared with placebo) reduces the number of days to a negative RAT and increases the percentage of subjects who have cleared the virus from the upper respiratory tract within 5 days, based on a combined throat and nasal swab. Prior to gaining regulatory approval for any role in the management of COVID-19, Nasodine would likely need to undergo a confirmatory Phase 3 trial in a specific aspect of COVID-19 that is clinically relevant to the management of the disease. Nasodine has already completed a Phase 3 clinical trial as a treatment for the common cold and Firebrick is preparing to start a second Phase 3 common cold trial this year, in order to support international regulatory approvals, and if the Australian appeal is unsuccessful it will also be used to support approval in Australia.

The in vitro experiments showed a 15-second exposure to Nasodine Nasal Spray (Nasodine) reduced infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 by 99.97%, while a 60-second exposure completely eliminated viral infectivity. The subsequent in vivo pilot study of six COVID-19 patients who were shedding the virus from the nose, showed that a single Nasodine dose (4 sprays per nostril) reduced viral shedding in 5 of the 6 subjects (83%) at 5 minutes after the dose, with an overall 79% reduction in viral shedding at one hour after the dose.

Firebrick Pharma Limited Announces That Its Planned Clinical Trial of Nasodine Nasal Spray (Povidone-Iodine 0.5%) in Covid-19 Patients in South Africa, Had Received Approval to Proceed from the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority Firebrick Pharma Limited announced that its planned clinical trial of Nasodine Nasal Spray (povidone-iodine 0.5%) in COVID-19 patients in South Africa, had received approval to proceed from the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA). The trial is titled: "Reduction of nasal shedding of SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 positive patients by the use of Nasodine® (povidone-iodine 0.5%) Nasal Spray." It is intended to demonstrate that frequent, repeated application of Nasodine Nasal Spray ("Nasodine") in COVID-19 subjects who are RAT-positive, leads to reduction or elimination of nasal shedding of the Sars-CoV-2 virus. The SAHPRA approval specifically allows Firebrick Pharma to import Nasodine into South Africa for the trial and to administer the product to patients during the trial, according to the trial protocol submitted to SAHPRA. As noted in the Company's prospectus (section 2.4.4(b)), prior to commencing the trial the Company will also need approval from the local clinical Ethics Committee, which has been applied for but has yet to be received.
