"On the regulatory front, we filed a 513(g) submission with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which will allow us to determine the most suitable regulatory path forward for our Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening Cartridge, a key step in our U.S. expansion strategy. More recently, we were granted a U.K. patent relating to our Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System DSR-Plus Cartridge Reader, our 13^th patent, strengthening the protection of our unique and proprietary drug screening technology."

"We further reached a pivotal milestone in our biosensor pipeline progression, releasing the successful results from Milestone 7, allowing our development team to move on to the next phase of testing human saliva. Additionally, we established a new sales team, distribution hub and office facility in Australia, a vital step in extending our reach throughout the Asia-Pacific region. We have made substantial progress on all fronts during the quarter and look forward to continuing this momentum throughout the rest of the year," Mr. Simeonidis concluded.

Third Quarter Highlights & Recent Operational Developments

Strategic Partnerships & Pipeline Development

• Announced the successful completion of the review of results from Milestone 7, a phase of the Company's biosensor platform development at the University of Newcastle, Australia. The results showed a record 4x improvement in time-to-result (TTR), enabling the biosensor to return test results in under one minute. The biosensor development team has now proceeded to its next testing phase, which will include testing human saliva.
• Selected HASTA, Australia's largest independent sports drug testing laboratory, as the Company's preferred drug testing specialist in Australia to complete lab-based confirmation testing for its Intelligent Fingerprinting System.
• Intelligent Bio Solutions continues advancing towards the next phase of the Biosensor development program with its second study, focused on eliminating the variables affecting glucose levels in saliva and the sample collection method.
  
  

Business Development

• In April 2023, announced the recruitment of four highly experienced sales executives from across the workplace safety and supply, manufacturing, and the drugs and alcohol testing industries for its new sales force in Australia. In addition, INBS secured a new distribution hub and office facility to manage sales and operations, significantly expanding its ability to service customers throughout the region. These initiatives have already begun supporting the Company's efforts to scale access to its Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
• The Company's Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System continued to expand its customer base by securing sales contracts with Dodman Limited, Boughey Distribution, A&F Sprinklers and Hozelock (a global garden equipment manufacturer).

Commercial Development

• Filed a 513(g) submission with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening Cartridge. The submission will allow Intelligent Bio Solutions to determine the most suitable FDA regulatory pathway as part of the Company's strategy for expansion into the U.S. market.
• In April 2023, INBS was granted a patent in the U.K. relating to its Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System DSR-Plus Cartridge Reader. This is the Company's 13th patent, which further strengthens the protection of its unique and proprietary drug screening technology.

Anticipated and Planned Events and Targeted Milestones for the Coming Fiscal Year

• Launch of the Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System in Australia, New Zealand and other countries in the Asia Pacific region, including required infrastructure and regulatory requirements.
• Focus on growing Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System sales across the United Kingdom and mainland Europe through enhanced marketing strategies and the creation of distribution channels.
• Investigate entry into non-FDA regulated markets in the United States.
• Initiate research aimed at broadening the capabilities of the Intelligent Fingerprinting System to test for additional drugs and indications, facilitating the expansion of the platform into point-of-care medical testing.
• Commence the 510k or DeNovo pathway, following FDA review of 513(g) request.
• Expand the Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System into new customer segments, including major sporting organizations, law enforcement, and commercial airlines.
• Obtain National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) accreditation.
• Develop a strategic network of distributors with established customer bases throughout Asia Pacific to distribute the IFP product.
