A Differentiated Cannabinoid Pharmaceutical Company
Focused on the Therapeutic Application of Cannabinoids for the Treatment of Diseases with High Unmet Medical Needs
Researching the therapeutic potential of rare cannabinoids, beyond THC & CBD, beginning with cannabinol (CBN)
Developing a biosynthetic manufacturing approach that targets low cost production of bio-identical cannabinoids for internal and external commercial needs
Selecting innovative, topically applied cannabinoid therapies where we can establish a proprietary foothold in treating diseases with high unmet medical needs
Investor Presentation Feb 2020

The Opportunity & Challenge of Rare Cannabinoids
100+ Rare Cannabinoids2–20%<1%
Major Cannabinoids
THC CBD
• Epilepsy
• Anxiety
• Stress Disorder
• Pain
• Inflammation
• Nausea
• Stress Disorder
• Sleep Apnea
CBN, CBG, CBGA, CBGV, CBGVA, THCV, THCVA, CBC, CBCV, CBCVA, CBDV, CBC, CBCA, CBNA…
• The 100+ rare cannabinoids occur in extremely low amounts in the cannabis plant
• The cost of extracting sufficient quantities of these cannabinoids can be prohibitive
• The challenge is how to manufacture sufficient quantity & purity to investigate, and potentially commercialize, rare cannabinoid-based therapies
Investor Presentation Feb 2020
Proprietary Biosynthesis Process
Investor Presentation Feb 2020
7
The Opportunity for Biosynthesis
• InMed initiated the biosynthesis program over five years ago to ensure access to a supply of rare cannabinoids that is reasonably priced and ultra-high quality (pharmaceutical-grade).
• Valuable technology, not only to our own therapeutic development programs, but possibly as a licensor and supplier of rare and/or major cannabinoids for other pharmaceutical development programs and retail commercial opportunities.
Enabling internal access to rare cannabinoids…
… and expanding the commercial opportunities for the others

Cannabinoid Manufacturing Alternatives
Extraction from Plants Chemical Synthesis
Biosynthesis• Plant – Grow – Harvest – Extract – Purify process is resource intensive, large carbon footprint, QA/QC issues
• Expensive, takes months for a single production batch
• Pesticide removal is challenging, may result in import/export restrictions
• Access to rare cannabinoids prohibitively expensive
• Expensive for some, time consuming (weeks) for all
• Excessive chemical waste
• Problem of isomers (structural integrity) for some CBs that may affect efficacy/safety; risk that synthesized product may not be identical to the natural compounds
Bio-identical to Extracts
Cost Savings for Rare CBs
Enhanced Purity and QC
Pharma-grade CMC
Structural Integrity Advantage for some CBs

API in Lead Product Candidates: INM-755 (dermatology) & INM-088 (ocular)
Cannabinol (CBN) – InMed’s First Rare Cannabinoid API
• A rare cannabinoid with unique physiological and safety properties
• A natural compound, but qualifies as a new chemical entity (NCE) for pharmaceutical development
• Considered non-psychoactive
• Found in trace amounts in the plant; impractical to extract
• InMed preclinical studies show therapeutic potential for dermatology and ocular diseases

• Conducted 30+ preclinical pharmacology and toxicology studies
• No observed psychoactivity*:
• No adverse events on central nervous system (CNS) function from assessment of 108 aspects of behavior posture, gait, and movement
* Based on internal preclinical in vitro & in vivo studies

Epidermolysis Bullosa
• Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of genetic conditions that cause the skin to be very fragile and to blister/rupture easily in response to minor injury or friction, such as rubbing or scratching
• The most common form is EB Simplex (EBS), approximately 55% of all EB patients
• No approved treatments specific to EB; treatment involves many products
• INM-755 being investigated for both symptomatic relief and re-establishing skin integrity

INM-755: Pharmacology (based on CBN preclinical studies)
● CBN-mediated reduction of key inflammatory markers (IL-8 & MMP-9) suggests INM-755 may:
o reduce blistering if applied to intact skin
o reduce chronic wound occurrence and improve healing when applied directly
● INM-755 upregulation of Keratin 15 may offset Keratin 14 dysfunction, leading to increased skin integrity/strength and fewer blisters
● INM-755 may have potential pain-relief* effects

18
INM-755: Toxicology & Safety
● INM-755 API (CBN) demonstrated safety:
o 20+ toxicology and safety studies: no safety concerns
o Topical and systemic safety established at several orders of magnitude above expected exposure
• 383-fold margin of safety for topical treatment
• 10,000-fold margin of safety for expected systemic exposure after topical dosing
● INM-755 highly unlikely to produce psychoactivity or other CNS toxicity:
o 108 aspects of behavior and movement were assessed, with no adverse effects on CNS, even at 10,000 times the expected systemic exposure after topical dosing
o CBN showed no meaningful psychoactivity in independent research studies at exceptionally large IV doses*
● Cream formulation without CBN:
o well tolerated on intact skin and small open wounds in humans
o no interference/delay in wound healing*Perez-Reyes M. et. al. A comparison of the pharmacological activity in man of IV administered THC, CBN and CBD. Experientia 29/11; p 1368-69. 1973. Investor Presentation Feb 2020
