OPERATIONAL STATUS

Europe

In Europe there has been a positive trend both for the quarter and for the year. There has been an increase in investments in systems for flow measurements (VeriQ) and the combined solution with imaging and flow measurements (VeriQ C). The consumables probes have also had a positive development with an increase in sales of 4.7 % for the quarter and 5.4 % for the year.

Despite the challenging economic situation in many European countries, investment in Medistims products increases. This is a strong indication that European hospitals prioritizes Medistims equipment and that it is regarded as a necessity.

USA

Medistim has a business model in the US that is mainly based upon sales of procedures and not capital sale as in other markets.

For the quarter there was sold 7.042 procedures, compared to last year 7.784. During the quarter 610 procedures was sold to customers using the imaging system VeriQ CTM compared 490 procedures in 2012. Number of flow procedures was 6.432 (7.294). In 2013 there were sold 31.170 procedures, compared to last year 31.883 procedures. Total number of imaging and flow procedures sold was 2.870 (1.550), and total number of flow procedures sold were 28.300 (30.333).

The decrease in revenue from US derives from a lower sale of capital installations for the quarter and for the year in total. In 2013 5 capital installations were sold compared to 12 last year. Historically 5 capital installations were sold on average per year, so 2012 represented an exceptionally good year.

Number of procedures sold per quarter

The company has not managed to follow up the double digit growth as the company achieved the two previous years, and is not satisfied with the development in 2013. A change in management in the US was initiated in January 2014.

In the US about 80 % of the bypass surgeries are performed with no other quality assurance of blood flow other than the surgeons experience by feeling pulse on the vessels using the finger. It is clinically proven that this method is not reliable. It is therefore a large potential and need for Medistims products in the US. Medistim has large ambitions in the US market. So far Medistim has achieved a market penetration of about 13 % of the total market of approximately 240.000 bypass surgery procedures performed annually.

Asia

In Asia, driven by Japan, sales increased with 40 % for the quarter. For 2013 there was a growth of 4.1 %. Sales of probe consumables increased for the quarter and in 2013 with 26.8 % and 10.1 % respectively. For 2013 system sales was at the same level as last year.

Other markets

In other markets system sales increased with 8.6 % in number of units. The portion of VeriQ C sold has increased to be just under 50 % of the system sales. Probe sale increased with 4.2 % in 2013 and total sales increased with 15.1 % for the year.

R & D

New system platform

Main focus for the 4th quarter and year has been the work with the new system platform for future flowmeasurement and imaging systems. The new platform will have a flexibility that will allow customer adaptions and new applications. The technological improvement will secure and strenghten Medistim's leading position.Products based upon the new platform will be launched in 2014/ 2015. Medistims Skattefunn application related to the project was approved in the 4th quarter.

PROSPECTS AND TRENDS

Goals and vision

The company aims to develop products to meet surgeons' growing need for quality control of heart-bypass surgery, peripheral vascular surgery and transplant surgery. Our vision is that Medistim's solutions should represent the «standard of care» for clinical practice and that blood flow measurements are performed on all patients.

Strategy

Medistim's focus is to strengthen the company's ability to effectively commercialize existing product portfolio on a

global basis. One of the key tasks to achieve this is closer contact with customers through a strengthened sales and marketing organization. Another important task is to produce enhanced clinical documentation and focus on putting blood flow measurements, ultrasound imaging and quality assurance on the agenda in relevant forums and channels.

Continious technology and product development will secure Medistims products and leading position within cardiac surgery also in the future. The company also has ambitions to launch new products adapted to specialities within vascular- and transplant surgery.

Market size and trends

On a global basis it is performed more than 700,000 heart bypass surgeries per year. The US represents the largest market for Medistims products with 33 % of the world market. The global number of procedures has in the past been constant. The decrease in number of procedures perfomed in the western countries has been compensated by an increase in the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China). It is therefore expected to have a stabil growing trend in the years to come.

The introduction of Medistim,s new instrument, VeriQ C, more than doubles Medistims market potential because of new applications and relevance. Because of this the value of the system increases significantly compared with VeriQ. VeriQ does not have imaging functionality. Total market size within cardiac surgery is estimated to be 2 billion NOK. The imagingfunctionallity makes VeriQ C relevant in other cardiac surgeries and not just by pass surgery. Medistim estimates this potential to be 1 billion NOK.

In addition, the company has a significant potential within the global vascular market, which is estimated to be about 600,000 vascular procedures annually. Total market size within vascular surgery is estimated to be over 1 billion NOK.

The trend in surgery moves towards less intervention and keyhole surgery, which gives the surgeon less workspace and the ability to control in a traditional way. It is therefore an increased need to verify the desired result in the future.

Global demographic trends are an important driving force for the many cost-efficiency measures around the world, with America's health care reform as very important. Focus on quality is growing, driven by the need to reduce costs, particularly related to correction of errors, the need for repeated treatments and repeated hospital admissions. Medistim therefore has a good opportunity to position their products as an important contributor to achieving these goals.

Position and Competition

Medistim's flow meters have been in use in more than 1 million patients worldwide since it came on the market, and the company is the clear leader in its niche. The equipment is used today in more than 20 % of the total number of by-pass surgeries performed worldwide. Medistims penetration and market share is expected to increase gradually as quality assurance in surgery is getting more attention and acceptance.

There are competitors that use the transit time measurement principle. Equipment from competitors is estimated to be in use in about 7 % of the procedures performed. This means that in about 70 % of the cases where by pass surgery is performed there is no equipment in use to verify blood flow. This market represent Medistim's largest opportunity. With Medistim's VeriQ C system, the company has acquired a new edge compared to competitors, with a unique and differentiated product that is currently alone in its segment.

Exposure towards currency

The company is exposed to EUR and USD. Exposure can vary depending on how large share of revenues and costs USD and EUR account for of total income and expenses. For 2013 a 10 % change in the exchange rate against USD and EUR would result in a 6.8 % change in sales and a 20.7 % change in operating result. The company partly secures its positions with hedging contracts.

SHARHOLDER AFFAIRS

The company had 236.000 Medistim shares by the end of December 2013. The shares were purchased at a price per share of NOK 15.34. The share price was NOK 23.00 per share at the end of the quarter.
