Explanation of Revenue (Appendix 4E item 2.6)

Group revenues at $35.1m for the year ended 30 June 2020 were 15.5% lower than the prior corresponding period (pcp). The decrease in revenues primarily reflects the impact of containment measures around the world in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic in the second half of the financial year. This resulted in sleep and neurological diagnostic and monitoring service providers being temporarily suspended during lock downs in various countries around the world. Whilst restrictions and limitations remain, most facilities around the world have recommenced services as containment measures have been wound back.

The most significant impact on revenues from the COVID-19 pandemic has been the Company’s China-based sales, which fell by about 41% over the pcp. The Chinese market remains subdued for both sleep and neurological equipment sales now, despite easing of restrictions in much of the country. As such, the Company does not expect the China-based business to contribute as strongly to growth in sales for the foreseeable future. Europe was also impacted by the pandemic with sales across the continent down 38% over the pcp.

Importantly, and despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the Japan-based neurological business grew sales 642% over the pcp from $0.2m to $1.5m. The Company anticipates this business will continue to grow over future periods. Sales in the Australian business finished in line with the pcp at about $4.8m

Explanation of Revenue (continued) (Appendix 4E item 2.6)

Sales in the USA-based business whilst 10% lower than the pcp, did not fall as much as originally anticipated, due to lockdowns occurring differently state, by state.

The Company booked new sales orders for the year ended 30[th] June 2020 of $35.2m, a decrease of approximately 13% compared to new sales orders taken in the 12 months to 30[th] June 2019 of $40.5m, excluding MEG. The decrease in sales orders taken was largely a result of the containment measures put in place for the COVID-19 pandemic around the world in the second half of the financial year.

The Company finished the year with sales-orders on-hand of approximately $7.7m, which was in line with the same time last year.

Explanation of Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) (Appendix 4E item 2.6)

As a result of the lower sales EBITDA, before the intangible asset impairment fell to $2.3m for the year ended 30[th] June 2020, compared to the prior year EBITDA result of $5.9m. The Company’s reported statutory EBITDA was a loss of $5.4m which reflects a non-cash adjustment of $7.7m to the carrying value of the Company’s intangible assets.

Compumedics intangible assets had a carrying value of $9.7m at 31 December 2019. These intangible assets relate primarily to the capitalisation of expenses associated with both the Somfit and MEG technologies. The expenses were predominantly research and development costs associated with the two technology/product platforms and associated costs of getting the products ready for commercialisation. The intent was to amortise these costs over the useful life of the products once they were selling in commercial and consistent quantities. As such, Compumedics is continuing to actively pursue ongoing commercial opportunities for both the MEG and Somfit technology platforms and believes the Company will generate significant commercial returns from both these technology platforms in the future, having already sold the first MEG system. With that said, the COVID-19 pandemic has created significant uncertainty over the timing of those commercial activities and when they may develop sufficiently to justify the current carrying value of the intangible assets. As such the Company has reviewed the carrying value of the intangible assets in relation to the MEG and Somfit technology and has reduced the value of the intangible assets to $2.6m for these two opportunities. As a result, there is a one-off, non-cash charge of $7.7m to the profit and loss for the year ended 30 June 2020.

Explanation of Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) [continued] (Appendix 4E item 2.6)

Margins were negatively impacted by the loss of revenues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic falling from 60% in FY19 to 51% in FY20. The fall in margins largely reflects the drop in the volume of sales. Compumedics charges to cost of goods sold expenses related to logistics, customer care, training and installation, which do not vary significantly with the volume of sales. As a result, when the Company is faced with a situation such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which leads to a very quick and significant reduction in sales, margins have been adversely impacted. This is despite on-going efficiency gains from the Company’s ongoing project to selectively outsource manufacturing and minimise double handling of product globally together with new products being engineered at a lower target cost.

The EBITDA result also reflects on-going investment related to the MEG business and to a suite of next generation products for the core business, which will start to generate incremental revenues and margin over the course of FY21. The Company will continue to assess other operational efficiency gains, which can be implemented and locked in over the foreseeable future. These additional gains, once implemented, will have a positive impact on margins and EBITDA into FY21 as the Company trades through the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Explanation of Profit from ordinary activities after tax (Appendix 4E item 2.6)

The loss from ordinary activities after tax for the year ended 30 June 2020, which includes a non-cash impairment for intangible assets was $5.8m compared to a $4.0m profit recorded for the prior year.

The Company booked financing charges of $0.4m, an increase on the $0.2m for the prior year reflecting the change in accounting standards for leases where a $0.1m financing charge is now booked. Depreciation and amortisation were $1.7m for FY20, compared to $0.5m in the pcp. The change in the accounting for leases reflects $0.9m of the increase. The Company booked an income tax benefit of $1.7m, which mainly relates to deferred tax assets.

Apart from these charges the above explanation for the EBITDA result for the year ended 30 June 2020 reflects the underlying operational impacts on earnings for the full year over the prior year.

Explanation of Dividends (Appendix 4E item 2.6)

No dividends have been declared or paid in the period.

Compumedics Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020

Note 6. Lease Liabilities and Right-of-use Asset

The Group has lease liabilities relating primarily to the offices it runs the business from in Melbourne, Charlotte, Singen, Hamburg and El Paso. Additional lease liabilities included below relate to cars and office equipment in the DWL business in Germany. The total lease liabilities are:

Current lease liabilities are $902k. Non-current lease liabilities are $835k.

Approximately 90% of the lease liabilities that are non-current relate to the properties the business operates from. The underlying contracts for these properties have expiry dates from late 2021 through 2023.

A right-of-use assets have been booked on take up of the total lease liabilities. The initial take up amount was $2,502k at 1 July 2019. In the twelve months to 30 June 2020 an amortisation charge against this asset was booked to the profit and loss of $883k. An interest charge of $135k was also booked to the profit and loss in relation to the lease liabilities for the twelve-month period to June 30, 2020.

Note 7. Impairment of Intangible Asset

Compumedics’ statutory EBITDA result was impacted by a non-cash $7.7m write down of the value of the Company’s intangible assets. Compumedics intangible assets had a carrying value of $9.7m at 31 December 2019. These intangible assets relate primarily to the capitalisation of expenses associated with both the Somfit and MEG technologies. The expenses were predominantly research and development costs associated with the two technology/product platforms and associated costs of getting the products ready for commercialisation.

The intent was to amortise these costs over the useful life of the products once they were selling in commercial and consistent quantities. As such, Compumedics is continuing to actively pursue ongoing commercial opportunities for both the MEG and Somfit technology platforms and believes the Company will generate significant commercial returns from both these technology platforms in the future, having already sold the first MEG system.

With that said, the COVID-19 pandemic has created significant uncertainty over the timing of those commercial activities and when they may develop sufficiently to justify the current carrying value of the intangible assets. As such the Company has reviewed the carrying value of the intangible assets in relation to the MEG and Somfit technology and has reduced the value of the intangible assets to $2.6m for these two opportunities. As a result, there is a one-off, non-cash charge of $7.7m to earnings in the year ended 30 June 2020.

13

Compumedics Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020

Note 7. Impairment of Intangible Asset (continued)

The Company will also carry forward an intangible asset of $0.2m at 30 June 2020, related to technology in the DWL business and $0.2m of development costs related to the new products in the core business.

Whilst the COVID-19 pandemic may have created some uncertainty as to the timing of the future commercial benefits of these two technology platforms, the Company fundamentally believes and will actively continue to develop its MEG and Somfit technology platforms to capture the significant commercial returns it believes they will generate for the Company and its shareholders.

These include pursuing the next MEG sale, whilst finalising the existing MEG sale and continuing to develop other market opportunities for MEG. The MEG market opportunity in the US, Europe and Asia remains significant and the Company is well placed to capture new and growing sales as the pandemic retreats.

As it relates to the Somfit, the Company is continuing to pursue its primary goal for the device being sleep and other neurological applications in the larger consumer monitoring markets and more recently the potential application of the Somfit device as a multi-modal vital signs monitor for potential COVID-19 application. The Company has responded quickly to both State and Federal Government initiatives that could see the Somfit device utilised as part of an ongoing COVID-19 monitoring program.
