PROXY STATEMENT

      This Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of Proxies by and on behalf of the Board of Directors of Marshall Edwards, Inc. (the “Company”) to be used at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Wednesday, November 30, 2005, and at any adjournment thereof (the “Annual Meeting”), for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting. The Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 accompanies this Proxy Statement. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials are expected to be first sent or given to stockholders of the Company on or about November 2, 2005.

      The close of business on October 20, 2005 has been fixed as the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Only holders of record as of that date of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.00000002 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.

      Each share of the Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share on each matter presented to the stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting. On October 20, 2005, there were 56,938,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

      Execution of a Proxy by a stockholder will not affect such stockholder’s right to attend the Annual Meeting and to vote in person. Any stockholder who executes a Proxy has a right to revoke it at any time before it is voted by advising David R. Seaton, Secretary of the Company, in writing of such revocation, by executing a later-dated Proxy which is presented to the Company at or prior to the Annual Meeting, or by appearing at the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a Proxy. Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a bank, broker or other agent and you wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a proxy issued in your name from that record holder.

      The presence, in person or by Proxy, of the holders of one-third of the shares of the Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum. Assuming a quorum is met, the two nominees receiving a plurality of the votes of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by Proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors will be elected as directors. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of Common Stock represented and voting at the meeting will be required to ratify the appointment of BDO as our independent auditors. The affirmative vote of the holders of seventy-five percent of shares of Common Stock represented and voted at the meeting will be required to approve the voluntary cancellation of the Company’s Common Stock from trading on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange.

      With regard to the election of directors, votes may be cast in favour or withheld. Votes that are withheld and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but will have no effect on the election of directors. You may vote either for or against or abstain from voting on the proposal to ratify the selection of BDO as our independent auditors. If you abstain from voting on this proposal, it will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. You may vote either for or against or abstain from voting on the proposal to voluntarily cancel the trading of the Company’s Common Stock on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange. If you abstain from voting on this proposal, it will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

      Unless specified otherwise, the Proxies will be voted (i) FOR the election of all the nominees to serve as directors of the Company until the annual meeting in 2007 and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, (ii) FOR the ratification of the appointment of BDO as our independent auditors and (iii) FOR the voluntary cancellation of the Company’s Common Stock from trading on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange. In the discretion of the Proxy holders, the Proxies will also be voted for or against such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting. Management is not aware of any other matters to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting.

Proposal 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

      Below are the two nominees for election to the Board of Directors to serve for terms expiring at the annual meeting in 2008 and until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors shall be determined by a resolution of the Board of Directors, but shall be between two and nine. The number of directors on the Board of Directors is currently fixed at six. Also, under our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the Company’s Board of Directors is divided into three classes, with the classes serving three-year staggered terms. Each class contains one-third (or if that number is not a whole number, the whole number nearest one-third) of the directors, with members of each class holding office for a three-year term. Currently there are two directors whose terms expire in 2006, two directors whose terms expire in 2007 and two directors whose terms will expire at the Annual Meeting in 2005.

      The presence, in person or by Proxy, of the holders of one-third of the shares of the Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum. Assuming a quorum is met, the two nominees receiving a plurality of the votes of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by Proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors will be elected as directors.

Information About the Board of Directors and its Committees

      The Board of Directors has responsibility for the overall corporate governance of the Company.

      Four of the six Board members are also currently directors of Novogen. The Company is a “controlled corporation” within the meaning given to that term by Nasdaq because Novogen owns more than 50% of our voting power. As a controlled corporation, we are exempt from the requirement that our Board be composed of a majority of independent directors, however, a majority of the members of the Board of Directors are independent in accordance with Nasdaq requirements.

      The Board of Directors held a total of 12 meetings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. Each director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the total number of meetings held by the committees of the Board of Directors on which each director served, in each case during the periods in which he served. In addition to regularly scheduled meetings, the directors discharge their responsibility through telephone and other communications with each other and with the executive officers. As required under The Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards, the independent directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only independent directors are present, in conjunction with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Directors. All of the directors, except Professor de Kretser, are expected to attend the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders. All six of the Company’s directors attended the 2004 annual meeting of stockholders.

      The Board has established an Audit Committee to oversee our financial matters and a Remuneration Committee to review the performance of executive directors and their remuneration.

      The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing financial and accounting activities. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities include the annual appointment of independent auditors and the review of the scope of audit and non-audit assignments and related fees, the accounting principles used in financial reporting, internal auditing and our internal control procedures. The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Stephen Breckenridge (chairman), Mr. Philip Johnston, Professor de Kretser and Professor Nestel, all of whom are independent as defined by applicable Nasdaq and SEC rules. The Board of Directors has also determined that Mr. Stephen Breckenridge is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules. The Company has adopted a written audit committee charter which is available on the Company’s website at www.marshalledwardsinc.com and is attached hereto as Appendix A.

      The Audit Committee held 8 meetings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. Three of our members of the Audit Committee attended all of the meetings and one attended 6 of our meetings.

      The Remuneration Committee generally reviews the performance of the executive directors and sets their remuneration. The Remuneration Committee also has the power to make recommendations to the full Board concerning the allocation of share options to directors and employees. The remuneration and terms of appointment of non-executive directors is set by the Board of Directors. The members of the Remuneration Committee are Mr. Philip Johnston, Professor de Kretser, Mr. Stephen Breckenridge and Professor Nestel.

      Because the Company has no employees and no remuneration was paid directly to the Chief Executive Officer or to any of the other executive officers of the Company, there were no meetings held of the Remuneration Committee during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

      As a “controlled corporation”, the Company is not subject to the Nasdaq rules requiring (i) Board of Director nominations to be selected, or recommended for the Board’s selection, by either a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on the Board, and (ii) each Nasdaq-listed company to have a formal written charter or Board resolutions addressing the nominating process. The duties and responsibilities typically delegated to a nominating committee are included in the responsibilities of the entire Board. Accordingly, during the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company did not have a separately established Nominating Committee. The Board does not believe that any marked efficiencies or enhancements would be achieved by the creation of a separate Nominating Committee.

Communications with the Board

      The stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors including non-executive directors or officers by sending written communications addressed to such person or persons in care of Marshall Edwards, Inc., 140 Wicks Road, North Ryde NSW 2113, Australia. All communications will be compiled by the Secretary and submitted to the addressee. If the Board modifies this process, the revised process will be posted on the Company’s website.

Proposal 2

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

      The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have selected BDO as independent auditors to audit the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. The Board of Directors is submitting the appointment of BDO to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice.

      The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares represented and voting at the meeting will be required to ratify the appointment of BDO. Stockholders may vote either for or against or abstain from voting on the proposal to ratify the selection of BDO as the Company’s independent auditors. If a stockholder abstains from voting on this proposal, it will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

      In the event that the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider its selection of audit firms, but may decide not to change its selection. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee may appoint different independent auditors at any time if it determines that such a change would be in our stockholders’ best interest.

      Representatives of BDO are not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting.

      The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors recommend the stockholders vote “FOR” the ratification of BDO to act as independent auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006.

      BDO served as the Company’s independent accountants to audit the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

      Ernst & Young served as the Company’s independent accountants to audit the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. Ernst & Young LLP served as the Company’s independent accountants to audit the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. Ernst & Young were dismissed as our independent auditors and principle outside accountants effective September 12, 2004 and were replaced by BDO. The Audit Committee approved the dismissal of Ernst & Young and the Board of Directors ratified the Audit Committee’s dismissal of Ernst & Young. The Audit Committee approved the appointment of BDO effective from September 12, 2004. The appointment of BDO occurred following a bid process which the Company regularly undertakes to ensure it receives cost effective audit services.

      Ernst &Young’s and Ernst & Young LLP’s respective reports on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

      During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years, there were no disagreements, as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Commission, between the Company and Ernst &Young or Ernst &Young LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst &Young or Ernst &Young LLP, would have caused Ernst &Young or Ernst &Young LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.

      During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years, there were no “reportable events,” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for a material weakness in the Company’s internal control for the year ended June 30, 2004 which was identified and disclosed in Item 9a in the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2005. Specifically, the Company noted that the personnel and management of Novogen who perform the Company’s accounting and financial reporting functions pursuant to a services agreement, are not sufficiently expert in U.S. GAAP and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and that this lack of expertise represents a material weakness in the operation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. It was further noted that the Company’s system of financial reporting was not designed to prepare financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and that the Company’s system of internal control, in particular its processes to review and analyze elements of the financial statement close process and prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, has not reduced to a

relatively low level the risk that errors in amounts that would be material in relation to those financial statements may occur and may not be detected within a timely period by management in the normal course of business.

      See the Audit Committee Report included in this Proxy Statement for more information on the corrective plans the Company has in place to address these matters.

      The Company has authorized Ernst & Young to respond fully to the inquiries of BDO regarding these matters.

      During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, the Company did not consult BDO on (i) either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that BDO concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) the subject of any disagreement or reportable event.

Proposal 3

CANCELLATION OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK

FROM TRADING ON THE ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT MARKET

OF THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE

      The Board of Directors is submitting for the stockholders’ approval the voluntary cancellation of trading of the Company’s Common Stock on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange.

      The Board of Directors previously adopted a resolution, effective October 4, 2005, authorizing and approving the cancellation of the Company’s Common Stock from trading on the Alternative Investment Market, pending receipt of the approval of seventy-five percent of the stockholders present and voting at the Annual Meeting.

      The Rules of the London Stock Exchange require that a company seeking cancellation of the trading of any class of securities on the Alternative Investment Market receive the consent of seventy-five percent of the votes cast by holders of those securities at a stockholders’ meeting.

      Stockholders may vote either for or against or abstain from voting on the proposal to voluntarily cancel the trading of the Company’s Common Stock on the Alternative Investment Market. If a stockholder abstains from voting on this proposal, it will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

      The Company originally listed its Common Stock on the Alternative Investment Market in 2002. At the time, the Company had only been in existence for two years and could not satisfy many of the listing requirements of the larger U.S. or foreign exchanges and automated dealer quotation systems. Unlike certain other U.S. and foreign exchanges, the Alternative Investment Market does not require companies to maintain a minimum number of publicly traded shares outstanding at any given time, nor does it require companies to maintain a minimum market capitalization. The Company gained access to the public market during the early stages of its development by listing its Common Stock on the Alternative Investment Market.

      By 2003, the Company had grown and developed to the point where it qualified for listing on the Nasdaq National Market. The Company listed its Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market in December 2003. Since this time, the Company has enjoyed satisfactory trading volume in addition to other benefits of trading as a public company in the U.S.

      The Board of Director’s recommendation to cancel the trading of the Company’s Common Stock on the Alternative Investment Market is based on (i) the decreased trading volumes recently experienced by the Company on the Alternative Investment Market for the fourth quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, (ii) the reality that the overwhelming majority of the Company’s stockholders trade their shares of Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market and (iii) the costs associated with continuation of the trading of the Company’s Common Stock on the Alternative Investment Market.

      The Company’s trading volume on the Alternative Investment Market for the fourth quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, was 20,655 shares of Common Stock, representing a decrease of fifty-six percent compared to the trading volume of 47,657 shares of Common Stock reported by the Company during its third quarter for 2005.

      The Nasdaq National Market has become the Company’s primary trading market over which the overwhelming majority of the Company’s stockholders trade their Common Stock. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, the Company’s reported trading volume on the Nasdaq National Market was ninety-eight percent higher than the Company’s reported trading volume on the Alternative Investment Market. The Company’s membership with the Nasdaq National Market also enables it to enjoy all of the benefits available to a company traded publicly over a major U.S. market.

      The Company also incurs ongoing costs, including U.K. legal fees, listing fees and nominated advisor fees in connection with the continued listing of its Common Stock on the Alternative Investment Market.

      Given the Company’s recent decrease in trading volume on the Alternative Investment Market, the substantially higher trading volumes on the Nasdaq National Market and the expenses associated with continuing to trade the Company’s Common Stock on the Alternative Investment Market, the costs associated with continuing to trade the Company’s Common Stock on the Alternative Investment Market outweigh the benefits of cancelling the trading of the Company’s Common Stock on the Alternative Investment Market.

      The continuation of trading of the Company’s Common Stock on the Alternative Investment Market no longer provides satisfactory benefits to the Company’s stockholders

      The Board of Directors recommend the stockholders vote “FOR” the cancellation of the Company’s Common Stock from trading on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership, as of September 12, 2005, of shares of Common Stock of the Company by each person known to beneficially own more than 5% of the Company’s Common Stock as of the record date.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

      Our agreements with Novogen are each summarized below. Each of these agreements was approved by a majority of our independent directors who did not have an interest in the transaction. We believe that each of our agreements with Novogen is on terms as favorable to us as we could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties. The following description is only a summary of what we believe are the material provisions of the agreements.

The License Agreement

      Novogen’s subsidiary, Novogen Research Pty Limited, has granted our subsidiary, Marshall Edwards Pty Limited, a world-wide, non-transferable license under its patents and patent applications and in its licensed know-how to conduct clinical trials and commercialize and distribute phenoxodiol products. We and Novogen have each guaranteed the obligations of our respective subsidiaries under this license agreement. See “Guarantee and Indemnity Agreement.” The license is exclusive until the expiration or lapsing of the last relevant Novogen patents or patent applications in the world, which we expect will be no earlier than August 29, 2017, and thereafter is non-exclusive for the remainder of the term of the agreement. The license grants us the right to make, have made, market, distribute, sell, hire or otherwise dispose of phenoxodiol products in the field (the “Field”) of prevention treatment or cure of cancer in humans by pharmaceuticals delivered in all forms except topical applications

      We are obliged to continue current and undertake further clinical trials of phenoxodiol, and are responsible for paying for all materials necessary to conduct clinical trials. We must conduct all such trials diligently and professionally, must use reasonable endeavors to design and conduct clinical trials to generate outcomes which are calculated to result in regulatory approval of phenoxodiol products. We must also keep proper records of all clinical trials and allow Novogen to inspect those records.

      All intellectual property rights in the medication, trial protocols, results of the clinical trials, case report forms and any other materials used in the conduct of the clinical trials are assigned by us to Novogen and we must not publish the results of clinical trials without the prior written consent of Novogen. Each party must disclose to the other party developments, improvements, enhancements or new know-how in relation to the phenoxodiol product which are made or acquired by either party.

      We may not sub-license, sub-contract, or engage agents without the prior written consent of Novogen. Any proposed sub-contractors and agents must first agree in writing to comply with certain confidentiality obligations and to assign to Novogen all intellectual property rights in the Field created or acquired by them in the course of their engagement.

      We may market and commercialize phenoxodiol products under the license in any manner we think fit, so long as we conduct any marketing and commercialization activities on a commercially reasonable basis in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, comply with reasonable directions given by Novogen, act in a manner which we consider to be most beneficial to the interests of us and Novogen, and otherwise act in good faith to Novogen. All advertising and promotional material must he submitted to Novogen for prior approval.

      The following table summarizes our responsibility for fees, charges and costs under the license agreement.

      Marshall Edwards Pty Limited paid $5,000,000 to Novogen in February 2004 which was the first lump sum license fee payment due under the terms of the license agreement. Also, Marshall Edwards Pty Limited paid $2,000,000 to Novogen in January 2005 which was the annual milestone license fee payment due under

terms of the license agreement. Future amounts payable to Novogen under terms of the license agreement are as follows:

      The exclusivity period of the license ends on the later of:

      For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 we have included $3,000,000 as a license fee expense in our consolidated statements of operations.

      We may terminate the license agreement at any time, by giving three months’ notice to Novogen. We may also terminate the agreement if Novogen commits a breach of any of its material obligations under the agreement, becomes the subject of certain bankruptcy proceedings or is unable to lawfully perform its obligations. Novogen may terminate the agreement if we commit a breach of any of our material obligations under the agreement, become the subject of certain bankruptcy proceedings or are unable to lawfully perform our obligations. Novogen may also terminate the agreement immediately if a change of control, as defined in the license agreement, occurs without the consent of Novogen.

The Manufacturing License and Supply Agreement

      Our subsidiary, Marshall Edwards Pty Limited has granted to Novogen’s subsidiary, Novogen Laboratories Pty Limited, an exclusive, non-transferable sub-license to manufacture and supply phenoxodiol to us in its primary manufactured form. We and Novogen have each guaranteed the obligations of our respective subsidiaries under this manufacturing license and supply agreement. See “Guarantee and Indemnity Agreement.” Novogen must not sublicense its rights or engage agents or subcontractors to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under the agreement without our prior written consent.

      We provide to Novogen rolling forecasts quarterly of our estimated supply requirements for phenoxodiol, and issue purchase orders for phenoxodiol to Novogen specifying the volume of phenoxodiol required. Novogen must confirm the quantity it is able to supply to fulfill the purchase order within 5 business days of receiving the purchase order. Novogen must then supply the volume of phenoxodiol it agreed to supply, and must otherwise use all reasonable endeavors to fulfill the purchase order. Novogen must manufacture and

deliver phenoxodiol to us at a port nominated by us. Title to the phenoxodiol does not pass to us until we have paid the purchase price (as described below) and retention of title arrangements apply. We are not obligated to purchase any minimum amount of phenoxodiol from Novogen.

      We must also provide to Novogen at least one year’s advance written notice of the date on which the phenoxodiol product will be first offered for sale commercially.

      If Novogen materially and persistently fails to supply the amount of phenoxodiol ordered by us by the required date, we may manufacture (or engage a third party, without Novogen’s consent, to manufacture) the amount of the shortfall of phenoxodiol until Novogen demonstrates that it is able to consistently supply phenoxodiol in accordance with our requirements. In this case, Novogen must take all reasonable steps to make available to us or the third party, on commercial terms, the know-how necessary to enable that manufacture to occur.

      The purchase price for phenoxodiol supplied is the total costs to Novogen plus a mark-up of 50%. The purchase price may be adjusted quarterly by Novogen by reference to the actual costs referred to above for the preceding quarter. If at any time we do not pay any amount due to Novogen, Novogen may suspend the supply of phenoxodiol to us until payment is received. Interest accrues daily on the outstanding balance of all overdue amounts payable to Novogen under the manufacturing license and supply agreement.

      For the fiscal year ended June 2005, we expensed $612,000 in fees under the manufacturing and supply agreement.

      Each party must disclose to the other any new developments, improvements and new know-how relating to the manufacture of phenoxodiol which are made or acquired by it during the term of the agreement. All intellectual property rights in developments, improvements and new know-how made or acquired by Novogen are to be assigned to us. We must provide to Novogen such technical information and assistance as Novogen reasonably requests in order to exercise its rights and perform its obligations.

      Each party acknowledges that nothing in the agreement shall have the effect of transferring or assigning to Novogen any right, title or interest in any intellectual property rights in the phenoxodiol products licensed under the agreement.

      Novogen agrees to notify us immediately on becoming aware of any infringement of the intellectual property rights in the licensed products or any claim by a third party that the activities of the parties under the agreement infringe such third party’s intellectual property rights. If required, Novogen agrees to be a party to any proceedings brought by us in relation to any infringement of intellectual property rights in the licensed products and also agrees, at our cost, to provide all reasonable assistance in relation to such proceedings and to execute such documents as we reasonably require.

      Either party may terminate the agreement immediately at any time if the other party becomes the subject of certain bankruptcy proceedings, becomes unable to carry out the transactions contemplated by the agreement or breaches its obligations and does not cure such breach within 21 days notice. We may also terminate the agreement immediately if the license agreement expires or is terminated. Novogen may also terminate the agreement immediately if a change of control, as defined in the manufacturing license and supply agreement, occurs without the consent of Novogen.

      The liability of Novogen for breach of conditions or warranties imposed by statute is limited to the replacement of goods, supply of equivalent goods, repair or replacement value of goods or the re-supply or payment for re-supply of services.

The License Option Deed

      Novogen’s subsidiary, Novogen Research Pty Limited has granted our subsidiary, Marshall Edwards Pty Limited, an exclusive first right to accept and an exclusive last right to match any proposed dealing by Novogen with its intellectual property rights with a third party relating to certain synthetic pharmaceutical compounds (other than phenoxodiol) developed by Novogen or its affiliates.

      The rights relate to all synthetic pharmaceutical compounds, known as Option Compounds, delivered or taken in all forms except topical applications (other than phenoxodiol, which is the subject of the license agreement), developed before or during the term of the deed, by or on behalf of Novogen or its affiliates, which have known applications in the Field of prevention, treatment or cure of cancer in humans.

      Novogen must not, and must ensure that its affiliates other than us do not, deal, solicit entertain or discuss dealings with any intellectual property rights in the Field or in relation to any Option Compounds without giving us an exclusive first right to accept and an exclusive last right to match any such dealing. If we exercise our first right to accept or last right to match, Novogen must deal with the intellectual property rights in favor of us on the terms and conditions proposed. We have 15 business days to exercise those rights and, if we fail to do so, Novogen may deal with those intellectual property rights in favor of a third party provided that the terms are no more favorable to that third party than those first offered to us or which we declined to match.

      Novogen must act in good faith toward us in relation to its obligations under the deed and must ensure that all persons involved in any research or development work in the Field in relation to Option Compounds assign all intellectual property rights relating to the Option Compounds to Novogen. Novogen must also ensure that its affiliates, other than us, do the same. Novogen continues to be solely responsible for the maintenance of any patent rights in the Option Compounds, which it may maintain and enforce at its sole discretion and expense.

      Novogen must provide to us from time to time, and in no event less frequently than every six months, development reports relating to the clinical trials and development of Option Compounds, and must notify us immediately of any regulatory approvals granted and assessments made by any government agency.

      The term of the deed is sixteen years from the commencement date of the agreement, unless terminated earlier. We may terminate the deed at any time on three months’ notice to Novogen. Either party may terminate the deed immediately at any time if the other party becomes the subject of certain bankruptcy proceedings, becomes unable to carry out the transactions contemplated by the agreement or breaches its obligations and does not cure such breach within 21 days notice.

      Novogen may also terminate the deed immediately if a change of control, as defined in the license option deed, occurs without the consent of Novogen.

The Services Agreement

      Novogen has agreed to provide a range of services to us, or procure that its subsidiaries provide those services.

      These services include providing general assistance and advice on research and development and commercializing phenoxodiol products and other compounds in which we may acquire intellectual property rights in the future, such as Option Compounds in relation to which we have exercised our rights under the license option deed.

      Novogen’s obligations also include providing, within the agreed budgets described below, our needs with respect to secretarial, marketing, finance, logistics, administrative and managerial support. Novogen also plans, conducts and supervises pre-clinical and clinical trials with phenoxodiol and with other compounds in which we have intellectual property rights. Novogen also provides scientific and technical advice on management of pre-clinical and clinical research programs undertaken by us and manages such research provisions. We have guaranteed the obligations of our subsidiary under the services agreement. See “Guarantee and Indemnity Agreement.”

      Novogen may not sub-contract the provision of any part of the services without our prior written consent.

      We pay services fees to Novogen on a monthly basis in accordance with an agreed annual budget. At the beginning of each financial year Novogen prepares a budget estimate for us with respect to the percentage of time spent by Novogen’s employees and consultants in the provision of services to us in the previous financial year and any relevant considerations which are likely to influence the time spent for the following financial year. Each estimate must include the remuneration paid by Novogen to each person expected to provide the services and the percentage of time Novogen expects those persons will spend on our business, the allocated on-costs attributable to each person, a premises rental charge and a charge for asset usage and general overheads. The total estimate is to be the sum of these charges plus a mark-up of 10%. We also pay Novogen’s reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in providing the services to us. At the end of the fiscal year an adjustment is made to reflect actual costs incurred where they differ from budget.

      For the fiscal year ended June 2005, we expensed $1,073,000 in fees under the services agreement.

      All intellectual property rights created by Novogen in the performance of the services for or at the request of us are licensed to us. Each party also has obligations to the other party to honor the other’s confidential information.

      We may terminate our rights and obligations under the services agreement on three months’ written notice to Novogen. Either we or Novogen may terminate the agreement immediately at any time if the other party becomes the subject of certain bankruptcy proceedings, becomes unable to carry out the transactions contemplated by the agreement, breaches its obligations and does not cure such breach within 21 days notice or if a change of control in the other party occurs. Novogen may also terminate the agreement immediately if a change of control, as defined in the services agreement, occurs without the consent of Novogen.

Guarantee and Indemnity Agreement

      We have guaranteed the payment and performance of the obligations of our subsidiary, Marshall Edwards Pty Limited, to Novogen and its subsidiaries, Novogen Laboratories Pty Limited and Novogen Research Pty Limited, under the license agreement, the manufacturing license and supply agreement and the services agreement. Novogen has guaranteed the performance of the obligations of Novogen Research Pty Limited under the license agreement and the obligations of Novogen Laboratories Pty Limited under the

manufacturing license and supply agreement to Marshall Edwards Pty Limited. Each of our and Novogen’s obligations in the guarantee and indemnity agreement are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable.

      We and Novogen have each agreed to indemnity the other if either of our respective subsidiaries default in the performance of any obligation under the license agreement, the manufacturing license and supply agreement or the services agreement. The defaulting party must indemnify the other against all losses, liabilities and expenses, including legal expenses on a full indemnity basis, incurred, directly or indirectly, as a result of that default. The party in default must pay the amount of those losses, liabilities and expenses on demand to the non-defaulting party. Furthermore, if Marshall Edwards Pty Limited defaults on its payment obligations, we must pay that money as directed by Novogen.

      This agreement is a continuing obligation, and remains in full force until all the guaranteed obligations have been irrevocably paid and performed in full.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

      The Audit committee of the Board of Directors has furnished the following report on its activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. The report is not deemed to be “soliciting material” or “filed” with the SEC or subject to the SEC’s proxy rules or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, and the report shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any prior or subsequent filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act except to the extent that we specifically incorporate it by reference into any such filing.

      The Audit Committee oversees the financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial reporting process, principles and internal controls as well as preparation of our financial statements. The audit committee is comprised of Mr. Stephen Breckenridge (chairman), Mr. Philip Johnston, Professor David de Kretser and Professor Paul Nestel, each of whom is an independent director as defined by the applicable Nasdaq and SEC rules. The audit committee held 8 meetings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

      In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Audit Committee appointed independent auditors BDO for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with the independent auditors the overall scope and specific plans for their Audit. The Audit Committee also reviewed and discussed with the independent auditors and with management our audited financial statements and the adequacy of our internal controls. The Audit Committee met with the independent auditors, without management present, to discuss the results of our independent auditor’s audits, their evaluations of our internal controls and the overall quality of our financial reporting.

      In 2004, the Company determined that the personnel and management of Novogen who perform our accounting and financial reporting functions pursuant to the Services Agreement are not sufficiently expert in U.S. GAAP and the requirements of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and that this lack of expertise represents a material weakness in the operation of our internal control over financial reporting.

      In addition, our system of financial reporting was not designed to prepare financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and our system of internal control, in particular our processes to review and analyze elements of the financial statement close process and prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, has not reduced to a relatively low level the risk that errors in amounts that would be material in relation to those financial statements may occur and may not be detected within a timely period by management in the normal course of business.

      In this regard, we recommended that Novogen engage personnel with expertise or train existing personnel in the following areas:

      We have sought assurances from Novogen that it will promptly remedy the concerns raised and Novogen has presented to us a plan for addressing these concerns. We believe that Novogen’s plan is designed to ensure that the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, including the processes to review and analyze elements of our financial statement close process, is in accordance with U.S. GAAP and that relevant information about U.S. GAAP, SEC financial reporting requirements, and the requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board is available to those persons involved in the process by which our

financial statements are prepared. Specifically Novogen’s plan provides for additional resources and further training of the Novogen accounting team including:

      During the period covered by the report, Novogen has made significant progress in implementing its plan to address the identified material weakness.

      Novogen has already recruited an additional degree qualified accountant, enabling senior finance staff responsible for the preparation of U.S. GAAP financial reports to spend more time dealing with U.S GAAP reporting issues. Additionally, Novogen’s senior finance staff has completed training courses including the SEC Institute’s SEC Reporting Conference, the SEC Institute’s Workshop on Implementing SOX404 Internal Control Reporting and will continue to evaluate the merits of additional courses as they become available. Novogen has already begun to receive additional publications and updates of SEC, U.S. GAAP and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requirements and will continue to review the adequacy of this additional information to determine whether additional resources are required.

      Until we are satisfied that we have addressed our needs for sufficient expertise in preparing financial statements required in our filings under the securities law we will seek to mitigate this weakness by conferring with our outside accounting advisors with respect to the technical requirements applicable to our financial statements.

      The implementation of the initiatives described above is among our highest priorities. Our Board of Directors, in coordination with our Audit Committee, will continually assess the progress and sufficiency of these initiatives and make adjustments as and when necessary. As of the date of this report, we believe that the plans outlined above, when completed, will eliminate the weakness in internal accounting control as described above. Nonetheless, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected.

      The Audit Committee monitored the independence and performance of the independent auditors. The Audit committee discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statements on Auditing Standards No 61 as amended by Statements on Auditing Standards No 90 (Communication with Audit Committees). The Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors the auditors’ independence from management and the Company, including the matters in the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No 1, and considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the auditors’ independence.

      Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 for filing with the SEC.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ FEES

      The following presents aggregate fees billed to us for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 by BDO our independent auditors and principle outside accountants and Ernst & Young, our former independent auditors and principle outside accountants.

Audit Fees

      Audit fees were $83,000 and $95,000 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively. The fees were for professional services rendered for audits of our annual consolidated financial statements and for reviews of the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

Audit Related Fees

      There were no audit related fees for the year ended June 30, 2005. Audit-related fees were $119,250 for the year ended June 30, 2004 related to the audit of the Company’s registration statement filed with the SEC in December 2003.

Tax Fees

      Tax fees were $8,850 and $5,450 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively. Tax fees were incurred in connection with the preparation of tax returns.

All Other Fees

      There were no other fees billed by BDO or Ernst & Young in the years ended June 30, 2005 or June 30, 2004.

PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

      The Audit Committee has adopted a policy and the procedure for pre-approving all audit and non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditors. The policy requires pre-approval of all services rendered by our independent auditors either as part of the Audit Committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent auditors or on a case by case basis.

      The services provided above for 2005 were 90% audit services, 0% audit related fees and 10% tax fees. The services provided for 2004 were 43% audit services, 55% audit related fees and 2% tax fees.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

      Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company’s officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the Common Stock of the Company to file initial reports of ownership of such securities and reports of changes in ownership of such securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such officers, directors and 10% stockholders of the Company are also required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

      Based solely on the Company’s review of the copies of the forms furnished by such persons, the Company believes that, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, officers, directors and 10% stockholders filed all required 16(a) forms on a timely basis.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

      For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, the members of the Remuneration Committee were Mr. Philip Johnston, Professor de Kretser and Mr. Stephen Breckenridge. All of the Remuneration Committee members during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 were non-employee directors and not former officers. During the

fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, no executive officer served as a member of a board of directors or compensation committee of a corporation where any of its executive officers served on the Company’s Remuneration Committee or Board of Directors.

CODE OF ETHICS

      We have adopted a Code of Business and Ethics policy that applies to our Directors and employees (including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer), and have posted the text of our policy on our website (www.marshalledwardsinc.com).
