The consolidated loss for the 12 month period ended 30 June 2009 was $4,128,738 compared to a loss of $3,557,390 for the previous 12 months ended 30 June 2008.

The loss of $4,128,738 was split between the Australian based legal operating entity of $1,661,934 and the loss incurred in the US based drug screening segment of $2,466,804. The activities in the US drug screening segment were discontinued as at 30 April 2009.

During April 2009, the Company implemented a strategy to protect its intellectual property and preserve its cash resources. The directors determined that this is strategy was necessary as the business did not have the sufficient cash resources to sustain the current US manufacturing and distribution infrastructure. Consequently, the Company exercised its first ranking charge over all the assets of the US subsidiary, Sun Biomedical Laboratories, Inc. (“SBL”), which was held as security for the intercompany loan which amounted to US$3,088,806. The enforcement of security involved transferring the ownership of the drug screening patents to the Company from SBL, the retrenchment of all SBL staff and the closure of the premises at Blackwood, New Jersey by the end of April 2009. The entire intercompany loan has been written off as at 30 June 2009.

The Company is continuing to seek offers for its patents and is also evaluating a number of new investment opportunities.

The major component of the loss is the amortisation and impairment of the Sun Biomedical Laboratories intellectual property and patents of $1,781,824 which includes a

SUN BIOMEDICAL LIMITED ABN 18 001 285 230 PRELIMINARY FINAL REPORT APPENDIX 4E FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009

complete write off of $1,382,407 in the carrying value of the patents covering the VisuaLine and OraLine products. This is discussed in further detail below.

The accounting policies, estimation methods and measurement bases used in this Appendix 4E are the same as those used in the last annual report and the last half-year report.

Some of the key features of the year ended 30 June 2009 include:

  • The conclusion of the Rights Issue in August 2008 which raised a total of $3.179m;

  • The restructure and settlement of the final amount owing to Dr Ming and Alice Sun, the founders of SBL, in September 2008 as final consideration for the acquisition of SBL in August 2006;

  • The downturn in US drug screening sales as a result of the poor economic conditions;

  • The unsuccessful search for a strategic partner for its US subsidiary, Sun Biomedical Laboratories, Inc;

  • The termination of the Co-operation Agreement with Shanghai Siyi Biotechnology Co Ltd in April 2009; and

  • The enforcement of the first ranking security over the loan to SBL and the closure of the US operations in April 2009.

The table below summarises the sources and applications of the funds raised from the Rights Issue:

As discussed above, the closure of the US operations on 30 April 2009 resulted in the termination of work on all ongoing projects including China, BioScreens and Oraline VIII. This was clearly not anticipated at the time of the Rights Issue. Additional expenses incurred as a result of the closure were approximately $250,000.

Impairment of Intangibles

The loss for the year includes a write down of $1,382,407 in the carrying value of the patents covering the VisuaLine and OraLine products to zero. The Directors are of the view that this is the prudent approach given the closure of the US manufacturing and distribution operations discussed above. As noted above, the Company now has ownership of the patents and is continuing to seek third party offers.
