human trials due to the limited ability to mimic the extremely complex
process of human carcinogenesis, physiology and progression. Therefore, the
ongoing validation of Virtual Tumours predictive ability in human trials, has
the potential to further enhance the Companys position as a provider of
services that improve the outcomes of its clients development programmes.
We understand that the Companys sales strategy has previously focussed
largely on cost savings for its clients, but in targeting the likelihood of clinical
success, finding new indications for candidates, selecting the most effective
leads and optimising their dosing regimes, we believe Physiomics can
generate higher value long term agreements such as that with Merck Serono,
with new clients as well as building upon this long-established relationship.

iii. Other products and services.

the Company has a number of complementary services that generate smaller
revenue streams. We detail some of these below.

DrugCARD Regimen Database

The DrugCARD Regimen Database is a repository of preclinical and clinical


regimen data from relevant oncology specific literature. This database
facilitates inputs into Virtual Tumour where established targets or drugs are
part of the model. It is searchable by drug, regimen, company/investigator,
tumour type/indication, combination and mechanism of action. As well as

helping to drive Virtual Tumour simulations, the database is available to
researchers and clinicians on a standalone basis on an annual subscription.

iv. New management has the connections to expand customer base

We believe that Physiomics has developed a bio-simulation tool that fulfils a


large unmet need for drug developers in the oncology field, and has done well
to get it adopted by a selection of major pharmaceutical companies, including
by Merck Serono for the clinical version. However, the Companys financial

Physiomics can not only save time and money in the development of cancer
drugs, but also improve the likelihood of successful trials and enhancing the
value of successful trials by optimising dosage, and screening other tumour

v. The biosimulation market


According to MarketsandMarkets, the bio-simulation market is set to grow to
$2.1bn by 2020, a CAGR of 15.29% from 2015 levels. Within this market, there
are various subsectors from molecular modelling through to pharmacokinetic
and pharmacodynamics simulation (i.e. the key drivers of a drugs
bioavailability).

potential to become an important high value tool to the industry. There are
few listed comparators. Simulations Plus (NASDAQ:SLP) offers an arguably
more commoditised off the shelf product range than Physiomics and is not
involved in the simulation anti-cancer trials. With a market capitalisation of
$147.8m, it is trading on 7.4x trailing revenues and a 32x trailing PE ratio.

potential to reach a revenue footprint in the millions rather than the
hundreds of thousands. The Company is tightly run with a small skilled team
of permanent staff, plus contract resources familiar with the Physiomics
products. This suggests a business model with inherent operational gearing
which should see any increase in revenues translate into an improved
operating performance. As the product offering evolves to be more value
enhancing for its clients, we understand the company will seek to explore
longer term revenue models as opposed to a fee for service model that has
been predominant throughout the Companys history.

Given the revenue multiples above, investors who get in now, at a time when
little upside is priced into the valuation, stand the chance of making a return
a multiple of the current share price.

3. Final Results
The Companys recently published results for the year ending June 2016
showed a 26% increase in revenues to 297k and a 6% decrease in operating
underlying losses (pre-share based payments and exceptional items) to
371k. Working capital was broadly neutral with operating cash out flows of
347k. The company ended the period with cash of 139k which will have
been strengthened by the 555k placing completed in September 2016.

4. Board of Directors

Dr Jim Millen, Chief Executive Officer

7. Research Disclaimer
This document should not be relied upon as being an impartial or objective assessment of the subject matter and is not deemed to be
independent research for the purposes of the Financial Conduct Authority rules. As a consequence the research (a) has not been prepared
in accordance with legal requirements designed to promote the independence of investment research; and (b) is not subject to any
prohibition on dealing ahead of the dissemination of investment research (although Hybridan does impose restrictions on personal account
dealing in the run up to publishing research as set out in our Conflicts of Interest Policy).

Hybridan LLP is involved in providing other financial services to Physiomics PLC (the Company) and as a result Hybridan LLP may have
responsibilities that conflict with the interests of the persons who receive this document.

This document has been issued by Hybridan LLP for information purposes only and should not be construed in any circumstances as an
offer to sell or solicitation of any offer to buy any security or other financial instrument, nor shall it, or the fact of its distribution, form the
basis of, or be relied upon in connection with, any contract relating to such action. This document has no regard for the specific investment
objectives, financial situation or needs of any specific entity. Hybridan LLP and/or connected persons may, from time to time, effect
transactions in any investment or related investment mentioned herein and may provide financial services to the issuers of such
investments. The information contained herein is based on materials and sources that we believe to be reliable, however, Hybridan LLP
makes no representation or warranty, either express or implied, in relation to the accuracy, completeness or reliability of the information
contained herein. Opinions expressed are our current opinions as of the date appearing on this material only. Any opinions expressed are

In the UK, this report is directed at and is for distribution only to persons who (i) fall within Article 19(1) (persons who have professional
experience in matters relating to investments) or Article 49(2) (a) to (d) (high net worth companies, unincorporated associations, etc) of the
Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotions) Order 2005 (as amended) or (ii) are Professional Clients or Eligible

Neither this report nor any copy or part thereof may be distributed in any other jurisdictions where its distribution may be restricted by law

Investments in general involve some degree of risk, including the risk of capital loss. The services, securities and investments discussed in
this document may not be available to or suitable for all investors. Investors should make their own investment decisions based upon their
own financial objectives and financial resources and, if in any doubt, should seek advice from an investment advisor. Past performance is
not necessarily a guide to future performance and an investor may not get back the amount originally invested. Where investment is made
in currencies other than the investors base currency, movements in exchange rates will have an effect on the value, either favourable or
unfavourable. Levels and bases for taxation may change. When Hybridan LLP comments on AIM or ISDX Markets shares investors should be
aware that because the rules for those markets are less demanding than the Official List of the London Stock Exchange the risks are higher.
Furthermore, the marketability of these shares is often restricted.

from, any of the companies referred to in this document. Accordingly, information may be available to Hybridan LLP that is not reflected in

Hybridan LLP, the partners, directors and employees thereof and/or any connected persons may have an interest in the securities, warrants,
futures, options, derivatives or other financial instrument of any of the companies referred to in this document and may from time-to-time
add or dispose of such interests. Neither the whole nor any part of this material may be duplicated in any form or by any means. Neither
should any of this material be redistributed or disclosed to anyone without the prior consent of Hybridan LLP. Hybridan LLP is Authorised
