Interim Report - 31 December 2021

Control Bionics Limited Directors' report 31 December 2021

The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'Group' or ‘Control Bionics’) consisting of Control Bionics Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'Company' or 'Parent Entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half year ended 31 December 2021.

Directors

The following persons were directors of Control Bionics Limited during the whole of the financial half year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:

Roger Hawke Robert Wong Peter Ford Damian Lismore Lindsay Phillips

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, NeuroNode Duo and Eye-gaze Duo. 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 .

Review of Financials

The loss for the Group after providing for income tax amounted to $3,129,841 (31 December 2020: $1,067,352). Key components include:

  • $2.36 million in total revenue;

  • $0.09 million in other income;

  • $0.45 million for advertising and marketing expenses;

  • $0.99 million for raw materials and production costs;

  • $2.36 million for total employee expenses; and

  • $1.79 million other expenses including general administration, travel, R&D expenses, legal costs and depreciation expenses.

Since the IPO in December 2020, the Group has embarked on a considered investment strategy to build out the business platform that maximises the long term sales potential of the NeuroNode technology in Australia, North America and Japanese assistive technology markets. Management’s assessment of COVID-19 was that it would have a significant short to medium term impact on top-line revenue, but would ultimately abate. The strategy is to be ready with a strong footprint as markets open. Great progress has been made with the fundamental plan by investing in:

  • broadening the product offering with improvements to the NeuroNode range and augmenting the range with new products like COSMOS Connect and UNO Touch;

  • growing and training specialist sales personnel to strengthen our USA/Australian sales teams;

  • expanding into regions where we were not represented both across North America/Australia and into new markets including Japan and Singapore;

  • appointment of senior talent to lead critical operational aspects of the business;

  • building an insurance funding team in preparation for more insurance funded sales;

  • building market awareness of NeuroNode technology and brand with key specifiers in key regions; and

  • building out quality scalable support systems and resources to assist the business across international multilanguage markets

Control Bionics Limited Directors' report 31 December 2021

Review of operations

The key highlights for the half year and up to the date of this Directors’ Report:

  • Revenue for the half year to 31 December 2021 of $2,361,786 representing 18% growth over the same period (31 December 2020: $2,005,390).

  • Cash receipts for the half year to 31 December 2021 of $1,849,351 representing 32% growth over the same period (31 December 2020: $1,395,964).

  • Revenue growth was impacted by COVID-19 restrictions in our key markets, but identified sales pipeline is substantial at approximately $9m.

  • Key investments in people and infrastructure continued in the half year as part of the Group’s broader strategic plan to increase productivity and grow sales.

  • Reseller agreement signed with DNR Wheels in Singapore.

  • Rental model activated in Australia adding a new revenue stream.

  • Two new products released in the half year: COSMOS Connect and UNO Touch, with more under development.

  • Control Bionics named in the top 10 most innovative companies by the Australian Financial Review and named one of the top MedTech providers in 2021 by MedTech Outlook.

  • Cash as at 31 December 2021 was $8,527,205 (30 June 2021: $12,331,109).

Operations

North America

North American sales operations shipped a record number of devices in November and again in December 2021. Reseller channels like Numotion are becoming regularly active. The new North American VP is having a strong impact on team performance. The Group made planned investments in reimbursement claims talent, to reflect the growing insurance claims sales mix and to expedite accounts receivable collections.

Australia

Australian sales operations have seen an increasing trend for assessments, trials and prescriber meetings as we continue developing strong relationships with significant patient rehabilitation centres ( specifiers ) and patient advocacy groups.

International markets

COVID-19 lockdowns restricted activities in Singapore, Canada and Japan during the period. The Group’s investment in securing a distributor in Japan and customising our product for this market is progressing well. We expect to product launch in Japan in March 2022.

Group research and development

The Group continued to develop and extend its product range in order to target expanded sales opportunities and new user groups. Notable actions in the quarter included:

  • Launched COSMOS Connect. This product uniquely enables users to extend application of their NeuroNode system to be able to control multiple platforms from one NeuroNode device, including PCs, Macs, iPhones, iPads and Androids; and to play Xbox games, operate robots (such as Obi dining robot) and to operate articulated beds and electronic toys. This product will augment core NeuroNode Trilogy system sales, and also shows significant potential as a standalone controller for the much wider population of people with less severe disabilities than those using NeuroNode. This represents a substantial expansion of our technology to people with disabilities globally.

  • Launching the UNO Touch system (both iOS and Windows). This is the Group’s first product which targets users who are ambulatory with conditions such as autism. It has been well received by specifiers, with whom trials are underway.

2

Control Bionics Limited Directors' report 31 December 2021

Group research and development (continued)

  • Continuing to develop a new NeuroNode software application and firmware which will be launched in February 2022, extending our technology leadership.

  • Continuing to develop a new miniaturised NeuroNode device which will help extend the use to more complex conditions, plus provides a basis for potential new applications of our technology.

  • Wheelchair control project in collaboration with Deakin University is on schedule for release in calendar 2022.

COVID-19 Impact

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 lockdowns globally.

During 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.

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.

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

Outlook

As the Group rounds out these investments in FY22 and COVID-19 conditions abate, management expects to see solid growing sales and productivity gains. The total identified sales opportunity pipeline is now valued at approximately $9m, a strong leading indicator of the momentum of the business. While we expect this pipeline to continue to grow, not all will convert into actual sales. The pipeline has various stages and it’s important to note, with insurance reimbursement trial/sale requirements, the rolling sales funnel can take up to 9 months to be realised.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial half year.

Rounding of amounts

The Group is of a kind referred to in Corporations Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest dollar.

Events Subsequent to the end of the reporting period

No matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2021 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.

Auditor's independence declaration

A copy of the auditor's independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out immediately after this directors' report.

Control Bionics Limited Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2021

Note 1. Significant accounting policies

These general purpose financial statements for the interim half year reporting period ended 31 December 2021 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021 and any public announcements made by the Group 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, unless otherwise stated.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The 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.

Note 2. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

Segment information is based on the information that management uses to make decisions about operating matters and allows users to review operations through the eyes of management. Operating segments represent the information reported to the chief operating decision makers (CODM), being the executive management team, for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.

The Group has identified one operating segment as the sale of assistive communications technology systems within the disability sector. The segment reported a loss before income tax of $3,129,841 for the half year ended 31 December 2021 (31 December 2020: $1,067,352 loss). The segment currently has operations in two geographical locations: Australia and North America. This is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the CODM and is aligned to the one major revenue stream.

The CODM reviews EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements.

The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis.

Types of products and services

The principal products and services of each of the geographical locations within the operating segment are as follows:

Australia Sales of Trilogy units and components in Australia
North America Manufacture and sales of Trilogy units and components in North America

During the half year the Group entered into two new lease agreements as outlined further below.

Control Bionics Inc

On 1 September 2021, a new 4-year lease agreement commenced for Control Bionics Inc in Milford, Ohio, US. This represents a significantly larger area of floor space for the global manufacturing and distribution operations in North America to support the future growth potential of the Group.

Control Bionics Limited

On 22 November 2021, a new 2-year lease agreement commenced for Control Bionics Limited Inc in Camberwell, Victoria. This represents a larger and better equipped Head Office and distribution centre for the Australian operation to support the future operations of the Australian organisation.

The Group leases buildings for its offices and manufacturing facilities under agreements of two to four years with, in some cases, options to extend. Options to extend current leases have not been included in lease calculations as the Group did not have sufficient certainty at the time of commencement of the lease as to whether such options would be taken up. The leases have various escalation clauses. On renewal, the terms of the leases are renegotiated.

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 2021, 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 halfyear ended on that date, a summary of significant 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 2021 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.

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.

BDO Audit Pty Ltd ABN 33 134 022 870 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee.

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 2021 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.
