Control Bionics Limited Half Year Report FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Directors’ Report

The directors of Control Bionics Limited submit herewith the financial report of Control Bionics Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group) for the half year ended 31 December 2020. In order to comply with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001, the directors report as follows:

The names of the directors of the company during or since the end of the half year are:

Roger Hawke Robert Wong Peter Ford Damian Lismore – appointed 30 September 2020 Lindsay Phillips William B. McMurray - resigned 29 September 2020

The above-named directors held office during and since the end of the half year except as noted above.

Principal activities

During the half year, the principal activities of the Group continued to be the development, commercialisation and sale of assistive communications technology systems within the disability sector. The Group's core systems include NeuroNode Trilogy and NeuroNode3. These systems allow people with speech and movement difficulties to control a computer for speech generation, electronic communications (e.g. email, social media), entertainment and external control of other devices.

No significant change in the nature of these activities occurred during the half year .

On 14 September 2020, the parent Company changed its name from Control Bionics Holdings Pty Limited to Control Bionics Limited, in keeping with the change of type to a Public Limited Company in preparation for its Initial Public Offering (IPO) and listing on Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) .

In December 2020, the Company undertook an IPO on the ASX, resulting in gross cash proceeds of $15,000,000 from the issue of 25,000,000 Ordinary shares at $0.60 per share.

The funds will be used for ongoing sales expansion in Australia and the USA, as well as opening in new markets such as Japan, in the near future and for the Group’s Research and Development plan.

Review of operations and financial position

Profit/Loss

During the half year the business not only saw an impact on revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic but also a reduction in expenses in areas such as trade show marketing and travel. Overall the Group recorded a loss for the period of $1,067,352 but excluding IPO related costs expensed of $774,961, the Group reported a modest loss for the half-year of $292,391(2019: $544,268).

Operations

USA

In the USA, we saw the first quarter impacted by COVID-19 lockdowns, with some recovery in sales in the second quarter helped by insurance funding seasonality and growing awareness of our NeuroNode Trilogy system capabilities. Access to clinicians and clients improved in the second quarter, with some easing of COVID-19 restrictions, but we remain exposed to snap restrictions.

Post IPO in early December 2020, Management focussed on implementing key operational staffing, sales recruitment, marketing and operational investment plans in line with our Prospectus.

Control Bionics Limited Half Year Report FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Directors’ Report (continued)

In February 2021, Control Bionics Inc. signed a sales/reseller agreement with United Seating & Mobility LLC (whose brand is NuMotion) giving additional sales reach in the Upper East region of the USA. NuMotion is a leading provider of Complex Rehabilitation Technology (CRT) in the USA.

The agreement, which covers the territories of New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York (excluding the five boroughs of NY and Long Island), will increase market awareness and strengthen sales reach for our Control Bionics Assistive Technology. This agreement is aligned with our strategy to access the larger rehabilitation market and reinforces our commitment to provide industry best solutions with access to all.

Australia

Sales for the first half year in Australia were stronger than the corresponding period in 2019 due to better pipeline conversion, despite the COVID-19 impact.

In December 2020, Management increased the Group’s marketing and sales presence across Australia.

Control Bionics received IPO-related media coverage in December 2020 with national TV (The Project) and ABC National Radio with Geraldine Doogue, which assisted with increased brand awareness.

International markets

In December 2020, the Group commenced recruitment of a Director of International Business Development to lead our international growth ambitions, and made the appointment on 22 February 2021.

Management has identified Japan as a priority market. During the half year, we commenced NeuroNode Trilogy product conversion for the Japanese market, allowing us to plan trials with a Japanese assistive technology distributor/reseller. We continue to work with Austrade and JETRO (Japanese Economic Trade Relations Organisation) on market entry planning.

In line with the Group’s strategy to expand into Japan, a senior local market representative has been appointed. We have also confirmed through our relationship with JETRO (Japanese External Trade Organisation) that there are no significant regulatory barriers to exporting into Japan.

We signed a distribution agreement for Australia, USA and Japan with DESiN LLC (Dayton, OHIO), the maker of the Obi Feeding Robot. We expect this to aid in increasing appeal of NeuroNode system sales for customers.

Group research and development

We have commenced resourcing our Research and Development Group, working on two primary R&D projects initially.

The first is to decrease the physical size and reduce power consumption of our core NeuroNode technology. This work will provide the necessary platform to apply our technology to additional market applications outside of disability. The second is a NeuroNode controller that will allow for power wheelchair control, and extended control of game consoles, dining robots and other devices.

Control Bionics Limited Half Year Report FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Directors’ Report (continued)

COVID-19 Update

COVID-19 has affected the industry’s ability to access specifiers of the product (e.g. speech language pathologists) and potential end users due to travel restrictions and lock downs globally. In Q2 (OctoberDecember 2020) we saw some easing of restrictions in the USA, but remain cautious as the threat of COVID-19 business interruption is still high.

Given the nature of our business, we already had in place a high degree of hygiene work practices. All employees are well trained in safety procedures to protect staff, clinicians and clients. In the half year, the USA remained challenging with COVID-19 case numbers still increasing and the hospital system compromised in some areas. In Australia, lockdowns did affect the ability of Australian staff to maximise assessments with clinicians in December 2020.

In April 2020, and in response to the potential adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group signed loan documents with Chase Business Banking and received funding of $A235,738 (USD161,787) from the United States Government Small Business Administration (SBA) under the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) which is part of a program created by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). This loan was forgiven under the provisions of the PPP Program in December 2020 and was recognised as income in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss for the half year.

The directors continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on business operations and the financial performance of the Group.

Key Management Personnel Changes

John Bell was appointed on a part-time basis as CFO in October 2020 to assist Control Bionics through the IPO process given his strong ASX experience. Neale Java commenced as CFO-designate with the Company on 8 February 2021, assuming full CFO responsibilities from 1 March 2021. Brett Crowley was also appointed as Company Secretary in October 2020.

Outlook

We are cautiously optimistic about sales in the next two quarters, given the ongoing COVID-19 uncertainty.

We intend to invest in core sales, marketing and operational infrastructure to support our product suite in the markets of USA, Australia and developing international market entry, particularly Japan and to ensure we are well placed to take advantage of opportunities once COVID-19 impacts recede.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

On 14 September 2020, the Company changed its name from Control Bionics Holdings Pty Limited to Control Bionics Limited, in keeping with its change of type to a Public Limited Company in preparation for its IPO and listing on ASX.

In December 2020, the Company undertook an IPO on ASX, resulting in gross cash proceeds of $15,000,000 from the issue of 25,000,000 ordinary shares at $0.60 per share.

Events Subsequent to the end of the reporting period

No matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Consolidated Group's state of affairs in future financial years.

This Report complies with section 304 of the Corporations Act 2001. No additional information was considered necessary to give a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half year to that date.

Control Bionics Limited Half Year Report FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated interim financial statements and notes represent those of Control Bionics Limited (Company) and its controlled entities (Group).

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 24 February 2021 by the directors of the Company.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report for the interim half year reporting period ended 31 December 2020, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' as appropriate for for-profit entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis and is presented in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated.

These financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by the company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The Consolidated Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgments, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

COVID-19 has affected the industry’s ability to access specifiers of the product (e.g. speech language pathologists) and potential end users due to travel restrictions and lock downs globally. In Q2 (October- December 2020) we saw some easing of restrictions in the USA but remain cautious as the threat of COVID-19 business interruption is still high.

Given the nature of our business, the Group already had in place a high degree of hygiene work practices, and all employees are now well trained in safety procedures to protect staff, clinicians and clients.

11

Control Bionics Limited Half Year Report FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The USA remains challenging with COVID-19 case numbers still increasing and the hospital system is compromised in some areas. In Australia, lockdowns did affect the ability of Australian staff to maximise assessments with clinicians.

In April 2020, and in response to the potential adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group signed loan documents with Chase Business Banking and received funding of $A235,738 (USD161,787) from the United States Government Small Business Administration (SBA) under the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) which is part of a program created by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). This loan was forgiven under the provisions of the PPP Program in December 2020 and was recognised as income in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss for the half year.

The directors continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on business operations and the financial performance of the Group.

IPO Costs

Costs relating to the Company’s IPO have been apportioned on the following basis:

Incremental costs that are directly attributable to issuing new shares were deducted from equity (net of any income tax benefit); and costs that related to the ASX listing or were otherwise not incremental and directly attributable to issuing new shares, were recorded as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income.

Costs that related to both share issuance and listing were allocated between those functions based on the proportion of new shares issued to the total number of (new and existing) shares listed.

NOTE 2: SEGMENT INFORMATION

(a) Description of segments and principal activities

The Company has identified a sole operating segment as the sale of assistive communications technology systems within the disability sector. The segment reported a loss before income tax $1,067,352 (2019: $544,268). This is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker and is aligned to the one major revenue stream.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Control Bionics Limited

Report on the Half Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half year financial report of Control Bionics Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half year ended on that date, a summary of statement of accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half year financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its financial performance for the half year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to the audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Other matter

The half year financial report for 6 months ending 31 December 2019 was not reviewed. Accordingly, the corresponding figures within the Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income have not been reviewed.

Responsibility of the directors for the financial report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its financial performance for the half year ended on that date and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

A review of a half year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
