COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

Dear Shareholders,

Sales of Paclical in Russia has started and we shipped products to our distributor in both November and January. The manufacturing costs for the product is invoiced at shipment and later a share of the profits, which is a considerably larger amount, is received in arrears. The actual revenue will become increasingly visible during the year when profits are shared. Our partner, Hetero Group, has laid the foundation for growth and is making investments, amongst other things by increasing the number of sales staff dedicated to the product. We now confidently look forward to steadily increasing sales.

The supplementary analysis of data from a previously performed PK study which EMA requested as part of the registration process for Apealea has now been completed and we expect to receive notification from EMA in April. As stated previously, the specific question does not concern our phase III study regarding ovarian cancer. In parallel we are working on developing a registration application for Apealea for the American market. We assess that the feedback that we have received from the European Medicines Agency will reduce the time taken for the regulatory process in the US.

Development of Docecal is proceeding according to plan. Docecal is based on the cytostatic docetaxel, in combination with XR17. Docetaxel is the main substance in Taxotere®, which is the single most sold cytostatic product ever, with peak sales of USD 3 billion in 2009. A phase I, so-called PK crossover study and a randomized clinical study, both in comparison with Taxotere, are ongoing for the indication of metastatic breast cancer. Both these studies are approaching the final phase as all of the 228 patients in total have now completed treatment. The randomized study will form the basis for the sales and marketing submission in Russia, as well as the registration discussions in other countries.

AdvaVet Inc., Oasmia’s American subsidiary, is being prepared for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in New York. The process regarding the listing prospectus is ongoing and we expect to submit it to the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, shortly. The American market is the most important market for veterinary drugs. By listing AdvaVet, Inc. we intend to give the subsidiary a stable financial foundation in order to be able to commercialize our veterinary products, Paccal Vet and Doxophos Vet.

Furthermore, the company has secured extended financing by signing an agreement to replace the loan we have from Nexttobe AB in May. The existing loan will be replaced by a loan of MSEK 108, which will mainly come from Arwidsro Investment AB, formerly Granitplattan AB, currently our largest shareholder. The company’s cost cutting programme continues to have an impact and the cost mass has decreased significantly compared with the same period the previous year.

Everyone at Oasmia has high expectations of what 2018 will bring for the company. The focus is now on accelerating commercialization by growing sales in Russia, obtaining further market approvals and establishing AdvaVet in the American market.
