In addition we provide this update to those unable to attend.

2016 was essentially our inaugural year, being our first full calendar year pursuing innovative opportunities in the biotechnology space. It was a very busy year as the Company established itself in the space and commenced its effort to find innovative technologies and management teams with inherent, yet unrealized, value. By adding strategic resources to accelerate the development of those technologies, we hope to realize that value.

We closed 2016 with two pipeline technologies under the 'Q' umbrella; essentially bookends of the multi-asset business model we are building. One early stage, opportunity in the highly sought after glaucoma space and one FDA approved, drug for bone cancer palliation. In addition, we recently secured the funding to allow us to execute on the near term milestones to advance our business.

Over the course of the next several months we will continue performing due diligence on additional attractive assets with the goal of adding one or more to our pipeline in calendar 2017.

Review of Strontium Chloride 89 Injection (SR89): 

In September 2016 we licensed an FDA approved drug that provides relief for patients suffering from debilitating bone pain due to metastatic cancer, typically caused by advanced-stage breast, prostate or lung cancer. It has been proven to provide a long-term effect resulting in cancer pain relief and enhanced quality of life.

Revenue from sales of our non-narcotic pain palliative drug will be a major catalyst for Q BioMed and we look forward to providing additional guidance on the timing of this in the near future.

Review of Man-01 our glaucoma asset licensed from Mannin Research Inc:  

The MAN-01 asset for treatment of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG), is continuing to progress in its pre-clinical lead candidate optimization of a small molecule for a topical application.

Mannin will continue with preclinical research and development activities for 2017 before progressing into IND enabling studies, expected in 2018 to be followed by first in human proof-of-concept clinical trials.

Our efforts in establishing research and development partnerships with commercial partners, as well as government organizations to provide technical and financial support for the development of MAN-01 for POAG is ongoing. To this end, Mannin is continuing strategic partnership discussions with companies and technologies that will strengthen its intellectual property portfolio in the Tie2/TEK mechanism of action market.

Thank you for your interest in Q BioMed and we hope you continue following our progress.

Happy New Year and may it bring you good health, happiness and prosperity!
