Dear Compumedics investors, colleagues and business partners,
On behalf of the Board, management and the Compumedics team, I present to you the results contained within the Compumedics 2017 Annual Report.
The financial year ending 30 June 2017 (FY17) delivered a number of positive and key milestones, despite some challenges within the core business. Of particular note was securing the first MEG sale, scheduled for delivery in the second half of FY18, to Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona. The Company managed to trade profitably during a challenging period and amidst a major USA restructure, designed to strengthen USA sales and marketing performance moving forward. Further, the Company continued advancing and commercially activating strategic growth platforms that will yield ongoing positive performance for FY18, and many years beyond.
A major restructure was implemented across the USA sales, marketing, management and operational units for stronger performance moving forward. As a result of this and the challenging core business sales environment, primarily in the USA, FY17 net profit after tax (NPAT) was down 60% to $1.3m compared to $3.3m for FY16. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) were down 44% to $2.8m compared to $5.0m for FY16. Despite the shortfall in sales, these results reflect an ongoing focus on performance, along with
both quality and efficiency improvements across all operational areas of the business.
Additionally, and further underscoring the core business profitability, over $1.8m was invested in next-generation growth platforms (medical innovations) including the new magnetoencephalography (MEG) neuroimaging business, eHealth (professional) sleep cloud-services (Nexus360), and Somfit[®] consumer-health platform, positioning Compumedics for significant upcoming realisation opportunities.
Revenues shipped and invoiced decreased 8% to $34.4m for FY17, compared to $37.5m for FY16, whilst sales orders taken, were down 9% at $34.4m for FY17, compared to $37.4m for FY16. Once again the China market was a solid performer for the business, growing by 33% over the prior year. This re-affirms Compumedics’ commitment to ongoing business growth in China, particularly in sleep diagnostics, brain research and DWL‘s Trans-cranial Doppler (TCD). In China, Compumedics has over 2,000 systems installed at more than 333 universities and 600 hospitals, including seven out of the top ten hospitals.
Cash on hand increased to $4.1m at 30 June 2017 compared to $3.1m at 30 June 2016, whilst debt levels were substantially lower at $0.7m at 30 June 2017, compared to $2.6m at 30 June 2016.

OPERATIONS
Strong Underlying Financial and Operational Performance . Compumedics continues to generate profits from its blue-chip client-based core business, whilst reducing debt levels ($0.7m) and maintaining strong investment in R&D (17% of revenue). The continued profits have been achieved in the face of continued investment in and commercial activation of new growth platforms, including professional eHealth cloud-services (Nexus360) and Somfit[®] consumer health platform milestones. These projects are all demonstrating commercial growth or lucrative break-out business opportunities.
The lower-cost Grael[® ] Version 2/Grael[®] Light (LT) products have successfully shipped, marking a transition of the core sleep and neurodiagnostic businesses from being mainly a premium-product supplier (30% of target market) to being a full-range product supplier for the complete premium, middle and lower tier sleep and neuro-diagnostic markets (opens up an additional 70% of addressable market), whilst some headwinds, such as employing more skilled sales professionals need to be overcome. The successful execution of the Company’s sales force expansion paves the way for a 2-3 fold increase of sales in the Company’s target markets, without compromising margins.
Ongoing Performance and Profitability Improvements.
Compumedics remains focussed on operational programs designed to drive improved efficiencies, capable of enhancing sales margins and product quality. For example:
-
Productivity-enhancement programs continue to improve quality whilst driving down costs, including the outsourcing of non-key functions such as larger scale production.
-
Streamlining of logistics including final product assembly, testing and shipment will yield further efficiencies as the business continues to grow.
-
The shipment of the new Grael[®] product range, resulting from a major redesign and enhancement of all Compumedics’ neurodiagnostic and polysomnography (PSG) systems. This new range of products will help to drive further sales growth within the the lower and mid-tier market segments, whilst improving margins.
-
The establishment of enhanced global online shopping cart capabilities designed to drive sales volumes, are now being rolled out.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE
Product research and development was maintained across all the Company’s divisions with a range of product updates, new product releases, and refreshed product pipelines prepped to underpin strong ongoing growth across the Compumedics[®] sleep, neuro-diagnostic, Neuroscan[®] research, DWL[®] (ultrasonic Doppler blood flow) and consumable businesses.

Compumedics Grael[®] Range of Patient Diagnostic Amplifiers
With the new entry-level Grael[®] sleep and EEG (neurology) amplifier range now shipping, Compumedics is ideally positioned to drive ongoing earnings growth. This new platform of products presents a highly competitive solution that has already been embraced with strong Asian sales and is now starting to gain traction in the USA on the back of the recent USA sales and marketing changes. As these products are rolled out world-wide, the newly expanded market is expected to drive strong, profitable growth and business expansion for the foreseeable future. Compumedics, for the first time in its history, can now offer the most competitive lower and mid-tier sleep and neuro-diagnostics solutions to complement its leading premier range of products. Compumedics now offers superior know-how and technology from routine EEG all the way to pre-surgical planning support and MEG. This data is available anytime, anywhere and across multiple platforms.

Neuroscan CURRY[®] and STIM
CURRY[® ] 8, Neuroscan’s Brain Analysis platform suite was released during FY17 with 150 new features, which greatly strengthen its existent brain analysis leading market position. A major focus of CURRY[® ] 8 brain analysis software includes support for the expanding user-base amongst the epilepsy community. In cases where MRIdetectable lesions are not identifiable, CURRY[®] brain analysis has become the new standard of care for identifying cortical origins of seizure activity. Other new CURRY[®] features include improved epilepsy-specific workflows, pre-surgical planning tools, additional source-analysis and enhanced statistical processing methods.
Neuroscan MEG Neuroimaging
Compumedics achieved a significant milestone in relation to its MEG business close to the end of FY17, with the confirmation of its first MEG sale to the USA-based Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, located in Phoenix, Arizona.
MEG is a functional neuroimaging technique for mapping brain activity by recording magnetic fields produced by electrical currents occurring naturally in the brain, using very sensitive axial gradiometers or magnetometers.
BNI, the world’s largest neurological disease treatment and research institution, is the home of the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center and is consistently ranked as one of the best neurosurgical training centers in the world. The institute was founded in 1962 and has since grown into one of the premier destinations in the world for neurology and neurosurgery.
More operative neurosurgical procedures are undertaken at BNI than at any other United States institution.
Compumedics has overcome earlier MEG system barriers with the Compumedics Neuroscan Orion LifeSpan™’s increased precision, coupled with fully-integrated MEG (Curry MEG) “gold standard” brain analysis software.

Further, shipments of Compumedics new Grael[®] LT range of products, which ramped up in FY17, ushers in a new era for the Company. The traditional top-end premium Compumedics sleep and neurology products will now be complemented by a new range of highly competitive mid-tier and lower- tier products. Whilst Compumedics has now opened up its addressable market via the roll-out of the new range of lower cost Grael[®] amplifiers, the focus is now intensified on strengthening Compumedics global sales and marketing forces.
Ongoing Growth and Profitability resulting in FY18 revenues in the range of $40m to $42m, with a corresponding EBITDA of about $5.5m to $6.5m, and NPAT of about $4.0m to $5.0m, is expected to be realised. Earnings forecasts include ongoing investments in the next-generation growth platforms, via medical innovations, as noted in this report. Moreover, this guidance includes continued high levels of R&D investment (17% of revenue) but at this stage excludes growthplatform revenues or profit contribution to the FY18 results.
SUMMARY
Compumedics remains well positioned , following a solid FY17, whilst executing upon its geographical sales expansion strategy underpinned by major product roll-outs across all business divisions, including securing its first MEG sale.
The core business continues to generate operating profitability and is well positioned for solid earnings growth.
The recent announcement of the first MEG sale to BNI transitions Compumedics from a USD30K brain analytics software sale to a 7 USD4M complete system sale company. 8
The next generation step-out growth platforms including professional sleep cloud-services (Nexus 360), and the Somfit[®] consumer-health platform, together with MEG, positions Compumedics for a combination of strong ongoing core financial performance with extraordinary step-out business up-side.
The year ahead will remain sharply focussed on driving our profitable core business growth, accelerating geographical market expansion, and commercial activation of our highly lucrative nextgeneration growth platforms. Whilst we have some challenges, but entirely addressable headwinds in the core business, we are transitioning Compumedics into a higher performance global organisation.
I would like to thank you all for your continued support and we look forward to on-going advancements over the year ahead.
Yours sincerely,

THE NEW ORION LIFESPAN™ MEG
- AN EXCITING INNOVATION FROM COMPUMEDICS
What is MEG? How Does it Work?
Orion LifeSpan™ key advantages
Invented by David Cohen at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1970s, MEG technology can record the magnetic fields produced by electric currents generated by neurons in the brain.
It does this using a highly sensitive detector called a SQUID, short for super-conducting quantum interference device.
Patented dual helmet rotating adult/pediatric dewar
By maintaining superconducting magnetic detectors at super-cooled temperatures, the tiny but very fast (too fast for traditional MRI) brain characteristics associated with widespread neurological disorders such as dementia, autism, epilepsy can be detected.

Market & Competition
-
The CURRY[®] Neuroimaging platform and MEG have a history stretching back over 25 years. CURRY was first conceived as a product in the early 1990’s when Philips Electronics investigated the feasibility of developing its own MEG hardware platform. Ultimately, the hardware platform did not survive, but the software, along with its core engineering architects, Dr. Manfred Fuchs and Dr. Michael Wagner, continued on.
-
The MEG market is currently estimated at about 20 systems a year at an average selling price of USD4.0m each = US$80m/pa
-
This is expected to grow about 10% a year, excluding China
-
It is estimated that China could double the existing market size to about 70 units a year
-
The benefits associated with CURRY’s ability to integrate MEG with EEG and co-register both kinds of high-temporal resolution functional imaging data with the structural neuroimaging data including MRI, CT, DTI, as well as PET, SPECT and fMRI accelerated the adoption of the software by both the research and clinical communities. Early clinical adopters, such as Dr. John Ebersole, supported and championed the benefits of source localization tools such as CURRY, contributing to the development of specific source analysis billing codes for EEG and MEG. For a long time, CURRY has been the de-facto software platform for clinical MEG community, particularly those assessing epilepsy. This has culminated in the adoption of CURRY as the standard analysis platform by the European Epilepsy Consortium.
-
The dominant existing player is Elekta, based out of Sweden, followed by Yokogawa (Japanese market) and CTF MEG (a much smaller player)

Quality Sleep is Essential
==> picture [57 x 50] intentionally omitted <==
“Every aspect of who you are as a human, every capability is degraded, impaired, when you lose sleep. What does that mean? Your decision-making, reaction time, situational awareness, memory, communication, and those things go down by 20 to 50 percent.” (Mark Rosekind, member of the National Transportation Safety Board in Sleepless in America – National Geographic Channel Documentary December 2014)

What is Sleep Fitness?
Sleep fitness is getting the right type or stages of sleep and the right amount of sleep.
There are five stages of sleep, each characterized by different brain activity.
The most important sleep stages are REM (dream sleep) that enables brain restoration for learning and memory and deep sleep for body recovery.
The body also needs alignment of our internal circadian clock with the sleep/wake cycle - otherwise sleep quantity suffers (ie the “jet lag effect”) and sleep fitness is degraded.
Are you getting quality sleep (how do you know)?
Movement detection is not clinically accepted as a true measure of sleep-wake.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) recommends that to clinically and scientifically distinguish between various sleep stages to determine sleep quality or fitness - sleep scientists measure brain waves (electroencephalography or EEG), eye movements and muscle tone. This is the Gold Standard for a sleep test.
The Somfit[®]
For the first time, a fitness tracker with gold standard sleep technology.
During the day, use Somfit[®] to track your daily activities – when you are walking, running, biking or even on an elliptical machine.
At night, the Somfit[®] will track your sleep collecting medical grade data to provide true sleep insights - understand your night’s sleep architecture - accurately measure the quality of your sleep through accurate measurements of durations you spend in REM, deep sleep or light sleep.
Why use Gold Standard Sleep Technology?
The technology in Somfit[®] is medically validated and the data collected is Gold standard – meaning that it is the accepted methodology to accurately measure and detect true deep sleep and REM, essential measures for body recovery and brain restoration. The data can be used for medical consultations with your GP or sleep specialist if and when the need arises.
