Explanation of Revenue (Appendix 4E item 2.6)
Group revenues at $35.7m for the year ended 30 June 2021 were 2% higher than the prior corresponding period (pcp). On a constant-currency basis revenues increased 9% over the pcp. The increase in revenues, on both bases, reflects a pick-up in business across Europe, which includes our Germany-based DWL business, which was up 6% compared to the pcp. The gains in Europe were partially off-set by declines in Asia, including China and Japan, with both countries continuing to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
With that said, our China-based revenues returned to pre COVID-19 pandemic levels for our DWL and brain research (Neuroscan) product lines. This was offset by on-going softness in our sleep diagnostic and neuro diagnostic and monitoring product lines resulting in an overall decline in sales by 4% for China in FY21, compared to the pcp. We anticipate our China-based markets will remain challenging.
Our Japan-based neurological business declined 26% over the pcp from $1.5m to $1.1m, due to the on-going issues with the COVID-19 pandemic there. The Company anticipates this business will return to growth over future periods.
Sales in the Australian business finished in line with the pcp at about $4.7m.

Compumedics Limited Financial Report Year ended 30 June 2021 Results for Announcement to the Market
Explanation of Revenue (continued) (Appendix 4E item 2.6)
Sales in the USA-based business whilst 4% lower than the pcp, largely a result of softness in the brain research (Neuroscan) business, showed increased momentum over the end of FY21 as the US embraced vaccinations and returned to some form of normalcy. We anticipate this momentum and increased selling activity to continue in FY22.
The Company booked new sales orders for the year ended 30[th] June 2021 of $35.2m, which was in line with the pcp. On a constant currency basis sales orders taken improved 4% over the pcp. The geographic split of new sales orders taken in FY21 largely mirrors the commentary above on sales revenues booked for FY21.
The Company finished the year with sales-orders on-hand of approximately $6.5m, which compared with $7.7m at the same time last year.
Explanation of Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) (Appendix 4E item 2.6)
Reported EBITDA for the year ended 30 June 2021 improved to $2.6m, compared to the EBITDA loss in the pcp of $5.4m. The loss for the pcp included a non-cash adjustment of $7.7m to the carrying value of the Company’s intangible assets. On an underly basis, excluding the impairment charge, EBITDA was higher at $2.6m for the year ended 30[th] June 2021, compared to $2.3m for the pcp.
The underlying EBITDA result for the year ended 30[th] June 2021 was primarily impacted by a non-cash foreign exchange charge of $0.8m, which resulted from the appreciation of the Australian dollar against the US dollar in FY21, compared to FY20. The average AUD/USD exchange rate for FY20 was 0.67 compared to 0.75 in FY21. As the Company carries a net USD exposure this resulted in an adverse impact to the EBITDA result for the financial year.
Margins have improved to 54% for the year ended 30 June 2021, compared to 51% in pcp. The increase in margins reflects the improved volume of sales. As the Company has moved through the year and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic we have continued to focus on efficiency and effectivity gains and improved margins as a result. The Company will continue to focus on on-going efficiency gains by continuing to selectively review manufacturing processes and minimising double handling of product globally together with new products being engineered at a lower target cost.

Compumedics Limited Financial Report Year ended 30 June 2021 Results for Announcement to the Market
Explanation of Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) [continued] (Appendix 4E item 2.6)
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 FY22. 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 FY22.
Explanation of Profit from ordinary activities after tax (Appendix 4E item 2.6)
The profit from ordinary activities after tax for the year ended 30 June 2021, was a profit of $1.0m compared to a loss of $5.8m for the prior year.
The Company booked financing charges of $0.3m, a decrease on the $0.4m from the prior year. Depreciation and amortisation was $1.5m for FY21, compared to $1.7m in the pcp. The income tax benefit for FY21 was $0.2m compared to $1.7m in FY20. FY20 reflected an initial take up of a tax asset, due to timing differences.
Apart from these charges the above explanation for the EBITDA result for the year ended 30 June 2021 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.

Note 4. Events occurring after reporting date
In the financial year ended 30 June 2020 the Company’s wholly owned USA subsidiary, Compumedics USA, Inc., became eligible for and received a loan under the USA Government’s CARES ACT PPP Loan arrangement.

Note 6. Lease Liabilities and Right-of-use Assets
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 $663k. Non-current lease liabilities are $156k.
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.
The right-of-use asset related to these leases had a value of $756k on 30 June 2021. In the year ended 30 June 2021 an amortisation charge against this asset was booked to the profit and loss of $818k. An interest charge of $103k was also booked to the profit and loss in relation to the lease liabilities for the twelvemonth period to June 30, 2021.
Note 7. Impairment of Intangible Assets in the prior year ended 30 June 2020
Compumedics’ statutory EBITDA result for the prior year ended 30 June 2020 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 had created significant uncertainty over the timing of those commercial activities and when they may develop sufficiently to justify the carrying value of the intangible assets at 30 June 2020. As such the Company had reviewed the carrying value of the intangible assets in relation to the MEG and Somfit technology and, at that time, reduced the value of the intangible assets to $2.6m for these two opportunities. As a result, there was a one-off, non-cash charge of $7.7m to earnings in the year ended 30 June 2020.

The Company did carry forward an intangible asset of $0.2m on 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, at that time, created some uncertainty as to the timing of the future commercial benefits of these two technology platforms, the Company fundamentally believed and has actively continued 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 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.
