Explanation of Revenue (Appendix 4E item 2.6)

Growth was achieved in many parts of the group for the full year when compared to the prior year but these gains were not enough to offset reduced sales in Asia and in particular China resulting in an overall 2.6% decline in revenues for the full year ended June 30, 2007 to $36.7m for the entire group as compared to $37.7m for the prior full year.

The group reported revenue growth in other areas with Europe and the USA performing well despite the significant movement with the Australian dollar to the US dollar. The US business grew 12.1% to USD12.0m for the year ended June 30, 2007 when compared to USD10.7m for the prior full year. In Australian dollars the growth was 7.8% to AUD15.2m compared to AUD14.1m for the prior full year.

Europe clinical sales (excluding DWL) posted growth of 16.3% to AUD5.0m for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to AUD4.3m for the prior full year.

Australia performed well despite the relative market size with growth of 6% to AUD5.3m for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to AUD5.0m for the prior full year.

Finally DWL also achieved growth of 6.3% to EUR3.4m for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to EUR3.2m for the full prior year.

Explanation of Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation

(EBITDA) (Appendix 4E item 2.6)

EBITDA at $1.3m for the year ended June 30, 2007 was a significant $1.8m turnaround from the prior full year EBITDA loss of $0.5m. The positive turnaround in EBITDA in the current year has been achieved despite lower sales and a significant $1.0m charge to the income statement for net foreign exchange losses. These net foreign exchange losses are primarily related to the consolidation of the US and DWL businesses into group numbers and the appreciation of the Australian dollar against the US dollar and the Euro in the year ended June 30, 2007.

The underlying turnaround in the EBITDA result reflects the significant cost reductions put in place in late calendar 2005 and early calendar 2006 and an on-going focus on continuing to remove costs from the business and improve operational efficiencies.

The Company also capitalised development costs as an intangible asset ($0.8m) for the year ended June 30, 2007 associated with its SomniLink SPAP sleep treatment technology.

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

Profits from ordinary activities after tax at $0.1m for the year ended June 30, 2007 was a $1.7m improvement from the $1.6m loss recorded for the prior full year.

The above explanation for the improvement in EBITDA reflects the underlying operational improvements in earnings, whilst the profit from ordinary activities after tax was adversely impacted by the significant on-going financing costs incurred by the business as it has worked its way back to profitable trading.

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 2007

1 Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below.

These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of preparation of consolidated financial report

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.

This preliminary consolidated financial report for the year ended 30 June 2007 does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2006 and any public announcements made by Compumedics Limited during the year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Compliance with IFRS

Australian Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the consolidated financial statements and notes of Compumedics Limited comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Early adoption of standards

The Group has elected to apply the following pronouncement to the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2006:

  • revised AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements (issued October 2006)

This includes applying the pronouncement to the comparatives in accordance with AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. No adjustments to any of the financial statements were required for the above pronouncement, but certain disclosures are no longer required and have therefore been omitted.

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available for sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and investment property.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AIFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies.

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.

Going Concern

During the full year ended 30 June 2007 the consolidated entity (Compumedics) returned to an operating profit of $0.1m and positive cash flows from operations of $0.8m. However, repayment of borrowings of $2.7m contributed to a net decrease in cash of $2.9 million during the full year ended 30 June, 2007.

The past financial year has seen the initial evidence of an aggressive restructure across the sales and marketing functions in each geographic territory of the business conducted in late 2005 and during 2006. This was combined with further restructuring of the operational facets of the business and the reduction of cash expenses. These cost reductions have largely been the result of head count reductions which have been implemented across all parts of the business.

The focus on cost reductions has continued during the financial year ended 30 June 2007.

The Directors of Compumedics will continue to maintain vigorous control of its costs as the improvements in revenues continue to emerge, to give the company the best opportunity of continuing to generate profits, without jeopardising the sustainability of the business over the longer term.

The Directors are actively seeking new financing with an alternative finance provider at this time to provide the Company with more commercially acceptable funding arrangements. The Directors expect to complete this process within the next few months.

The Directors also continue to progress a number of additional strategies in order to potentially raise capital or reduce costs further should the need arise.

The Directors will continue to focus efforts on the earnings turnaround that was evident during the financial year ended June 30, 2007. The turnaround in profitability and cash generation remains very dependent on margin improvement and also Compumedics’ ability to reduce debtor days through greater compliance to sales terms.

As a result of the above matters, the Directors believe Compumedics will be successful in the above activities and accordingly have prepared the financial report on the basis that Compumedics will realise its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and for at least the amounts stated in the financial report.

Note 3. Business Combination

Prior Year

Upon transition to AIFRS the company reviewed the carrying value of the intellectual property at June 30, 2006 in relation to the acquisition of the DWL business. At that time and in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets the business reduced the carrying value of the intellectual property as described in Note 6.

At 31 December 2006 the Directors identified an impairment indicator and consequently reviewed the carrying value of the intellectual property for impairment. This resulted in $252,000 of intangible assets being written off. The carrying value of the intellectual property at June 30, 2006 was NIL (June 2006: $0.3m)

Current Year

The have been no business combinations in the current year.
