Explanation of Revenue (Appendix 4E item 2.6)

The group achieved growth in revenues from ordinary activities of 5%, despite a further 15% appreciation of the Australian dollar against the US dollar year on year.

The US business revenues grew by about 10% year on year in US dollars, largely due to a very good year for the brain research (Neuroscan) business (up 77% year on year). In addition the annuity-style revenues for the American business, being for supplies and technical service, also grew year on year and now represent about 16% of total US revenues, where as two years ago these two areas represented less than 10% of total revenues for the US business.

The Australian business at $6.0m sales for the full year was more than 12% higher than the same time last year, reflecting the strong trading conditions in the Australian market this year where the sleep diagnostic business performed very strongly.

The DWL business achieved 4% revenue growth year on year, with total sales this year of $5.9m.

The European business (excluding DWL) however performed below expectations with revenues there declining some 14% year on year to $4.3m. The European business will be subject to intensified review and action to bring it back as a key contributor to the overall business.

Compumedics Limited Final report Year ended 30 June 2008 Results for Announcement to the Market

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

EBITDA at $1.9m for the year ended June 30, 2008 was a 46% improvement from the prior year EBITDA result of $1.3m. The continuing improvement in EBITDA in the current year has been achieved despite a strengthening Australian dollar to the US dollar and a significant $0.7m charge to the income statement for net foreign exchange losses, as a consequence of this.

The underlying turnaround in the EBITDA result reflects the on-going focus of the business to achieve efficiency gains and margin improvements where it can. It also reflects the increased level of sales achieved in the current financial year

The net foreign exchange losses are primarily related to the appreciation of the Australian dollar against the US dollar. Over the last two years the Australian dollar has risen from 74.8 US cents, at June 30, 2006 to 84.2 US cents at June 30, 2007 to 96.3 US cents at June 30 this year. Despite this the business has been able to continue to restore profitability through diligence, focus and hard work.

During the year ended June 30, 2008 the Company capitalised development costs of $1.2m associated with its SomniLink® SPAP® sleep treatment technology. The intangible asset carrying value at June 30, 2008 was $2.0m.

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

Profits from ordinary activities after tax at $0.8m for the year ended June 30, 2008 was a $0.7m improvement from the $0.1m profit recorded for the prior year.

The above explanation for the improvement in EBITDA reflects the underlying operational improvements in earnings and the sales growth achieved 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 2008

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 2008 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 2007 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).

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 2008 the consolidated entity (Compumedics) generated an operating profit of $0.8m and positive cash flows from operations of $1.8m. In the prior year Compumedics generated an operating profit of $0.1m and positive cash flows from operations of $0.8m.

The consolidated entity has implemented new funding arrangements with HSBC during January 2008, which the consolidated entity believes will continue to provide it with sufficient funding facilities. These facilities are currently subject to a scheduled annual review process that is to be completed by September 30, 2008. The Directors, at this point in time, believe the facilities will be rolled over, as an outcome of that review and that facilities appropriate to the needs of the business will be obtained.

7

The continuing viability of the consolidated entity requires:

  • The consolidated entity to achieve its budget and comply with its bank covenants

  • Improvement in the terms under which receivables are collected

  • The successful launch of the SomniLink® SPAP® product

  • Obtaining increased flexibility of funding to better meet the cyclic cash flow requirements of the business

  • Improvement in the performance of the European business

The Directors believe the consolidated entity will be successful in the above activities and accordingly have prepared the financial report on the basis that the Company 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.
