Early FY2009 performance update

  • Compumedics, like all entities in the current environment, is having to deal with rapidly changing and unpredictable circumstances.

  • The Company remains firmly focused on achieving profitable growth despite the adverse and unique external circumstances we find ourselves in.

  • The substantial fall (some 30%) in the Australian dollar to the US dollar will assist the Company in its goal to continue to grow profitably.

  • The Company has yet to finalise its bank review and is working closely with its bankers to implement the most appropriate funding arrangements for the Company into the future.

Slide 19

Outlook – financial

� The Company is currently implementing the most significant new product release program in the Company’s history. The following three new product releases are into the existing core medical diagnostic business:

  • Grael PSG – the next generation laboratory based sleep diagnostic system is being released into existing markets

  • Neuvo® Long Term Monitoring EEG device – recently commenced selling into Europe. This device takes Compumedics into a new and substantial EEG market for the Company

  • Xegis® EMG device – recently commenced selling into Europe and Asia. This device also takes Compumedics into a new and complementary market to the EEG market

� In addition, the Company is soon to commence commercial shipping of its first medical treatment device into the substantial sleep-treatment market – the SomniLink® SPAP®

� A substantial reorganisation of the Company’s sales and marketing resources for the sleep diagnostic and EEG/Brain Research markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa has been implemented.
