Company

Anti Cancer Platform Technology

Patented anti-cancer drugs known as Photo Dynamic Compounds (PDCs) localize to the DNA of cancer cells and when light activated destroy the DNA resulting in natural cell death (apoptosis)

Highlights

Up to 100% cancer cell kill at very low concentrations (< 0.8µM) Virtually 0% toxicity at high concentrations (> 100µM) leading to very high safety profile More effective at killing cancer cells than FDA approved drugs (668,000 x ALA, 198 x PHOTOFRIN) No side effects were observed from treatment (quick evacuation of PDC from healthy cells and high light fluence required for activation provides extremely high safety profile) Ultra low toxicity as PDC never enters blood stream (bladder cancer) Water soluble & readily penetrates cellular membrane (DNA localizing) Activated by laser light providing excellent specificity and selectivity Lethal to cancer and bacteria Able to treat solid core hypoxic tumours, such as: breast, prostate and lung Research performed at world renowned Princess Margaret Cancer Centre Activated at long wavelengths (allows deeper tumour destruction) Issued USA Patents: 6,962,910, 7,612,057, 8,148,360, 8,445,475 Pending USA Patent Applications: 61/801,674, 13/863,089, PCT/US13/36595

Bladder Cancer

USA Bladder Cancer Treatment Annual Spending

$3.9 billion (2012)

Statistics

70,000 new cases, > 14,000 deaths in the US each year 386,000 new cases are diagnosed worldwide annually Standard treatment unchanged with no new drugs approved since 1998 5th most common cancer, 4th in men, 8th in women Most expensive cancer to treat with a recurrence rate up to 80% 70% of new bladder cancer cases are early stage disease and 90% of bladder cancers are Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC)

Current Standard of Care

Early stage disease (Ta, T1): Trans Urethral Resection of the Bladder Tumour (TURBT) followed by treatment with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) – 5 year survival rate of 75%. Mid Stage disease (T2, T3a/b): Entire bladder removed along with nearby reproductive organs and lymph nodes in a procedure called a radical cystectomy - 5 year survival rate of 31 to 63% depending on progression

  • f disease.

Late stage disease (T4): Disease has spread to distant sites, such as the bones, liver and lungs and is generally regarded as incurable - 5 year survival rate of 21%.

Scientific Risk

in-vitro and small animal in-vivo results show virtually zero toxicity and up to 100% cancer kill across a wide range of cancers

Manufacturing Risk

Drug manufacturing will be outsourced to a GMP facility. Laser design will be completed by Theralase which is ISO- 13485 certified and has designed and manufactured laser systems for over 20 years. Manufacturing of sub components will occur at ISO-9001 manufacturing facilities

Regulatory Risk

Very low as anti-cancer technology has demonstrated up to 100% effectiveness in bladder cancer cells with virtually zero toxicity as it never enters the blood stream. FDA is very supportive of approving new cancer drugs

Financing Risk

$3.15 M financing completed in November 2013 to commercialize next generation therapeutic laser and commence Phase 1/2a anti-cancer clinical trial

Liquidity Risk

Company currently trades on the TSXV under ticker TLT and is a fully reporting issuer

Execution Risk

Outsourced to Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, one of the top 5 cancer institutes in the world. Canada’s top uro-

  • ncologist and Head of Urology at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre will lead bladder cancer clinical trials

2013 PRACTITIONER SURVEY

Company

20 Canadian and US Theralase customers (MDs, DCs, NPs PTs) Survey Results

Practitioners charge between $25 to $75 per treatment (Average: $50) Practitioners treat a single location 8 to 12 minutes per location (Average: 10 minutes) Practitioners treat 100 to 400 patient treatments per month (Average: 200 treatments per month)

Summary

On average, Canadian and US medical practitioner utilize the Theralase therapeutic medical laser for 2000 minutes per month charging patients $5 per minute, generating $10,000 in monthly revenue for their practice At an average purchase price of $16,500 for the Theralase TLC-2000 therapeutic medical laser system, the ROI is > 700%

Business Model

TLC-2000

No Up Front Fee

Practitioners sign a 42 month lease (6 payments @ $99 per month, followed by 36 payments at $500 + tax per month) for the Professional Model, which allows for a $1,000 trade up allowance. Program includes: 42 month equipment warranty and 42 month marketing program. At end of 42 month term, customer must continue with monthly payments into perpetuity or system ceases to operate.

Unlimited Use (Tracked through Internet)

10 treatments per month @ $50 per treatment covers cost of lease. Medical practitioner retains all revenue in excess of $500 per month (typically $10,000 per month generated from use of product) Monthly report of usage per condition e-mailed to customer with marketing support to increase usage per condition

Conclusions

Practitioner Revenue: 200 patient treatments @ $50 per treatment = $10,000 monthly revenue Practitioner Cost: $500 per month Practitioner is generating 20X return on investment

2014 Objective

Installed base of 400 units financed initially through 42 month leases at $16,500 each equating to $6.6 M in annual revenue
