PRELIMINARY FINAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2020
HERAMED LIMITED
PRELIMINARY FINAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2020
Review of operations
Unless otherwise stated, all figures in this report are in the Company’s presentation currency, the US Dollar (“$”).
HeraMED Limited had a loss for the year ended 31 December 2020 of $3,358,969 (2019: $3,128,885). The net assets of the Group have decreased by $389,703, from $2,387,886 at 31 December 2019 to $1,998,183 at 31 December 2020.
As at 31 December 2020, the Group's cash and cash equivalents decreased from $2,045,612 at 31 December 2019 to $1,903,949.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
There were no significant changes to the Company or the state of its affairs during the year except for the issuance of shares raising ~$2.5M (net of issuance expenses).
Additional requirements for capital
The Group’s future capital requirements depend on numerous factors. The Group may require further funding – the amount will depend on the Group’s ability to generate income and the extent of development activities. Additional equity financing may dilute existing shareholders. If the Group is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and/or scale back its development programmes as the case may be. There is no guarantee that the Group will be able to secure additional funding or be able to secure funding on terms acceptable to the Group.
Highlights during the year
During the year ended 31 December 2020, the Company had the following highlights:
-
The Company raised ~$2.5M (net of issuance expenses) from sophisticated and professional investors and from Mayo Clinic, to pursue growth opportunities.
-
Outstanding results achieved in the independent clinical trial at Joondalup Health Campus, Western Australia.
-
● Mayo Clinic’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved the launch of a Clinical Study of the HeraBEAT™ device and the HeraCARE platform to review foetal and maternal heart rates.
-
Initial partnerships in the US including eCare21 and Teleperinatal.
-
With the recent cooperation with Sheba Medical Centre (Sheba) in Israel (ASX announcement of 8 February 2021), HeraMED is now collaborating with 2 of the top 10 hospitals in the world - Mayo Clinic and Sheba.
During 2020, there were several changes to the Company’s strategy: under the previous commercialisation strategy, HeraBEAT devices were purchased, however, under the new strategy, a SaaS - per-user-per-month subscription model is offered. Most recently, on 27 January 2021, HMD announced that Hapvida, one of Brazil’s largest healthcare groups had extended its subscription for SaaS and cloud monitoring services for a further 24 months under the new recurring revenue subscription model.
Independent clinical trial at Joondalup Health Campus, Western Australia
On 8 October 2020, HMD announced outstanding clinical study results that confirmed the accuracy of the HeraBEAT device against a hospital-grade Cardiotocography CTG machine (Philips Avalon). The study, led by top-tier clinicians and researchers at Joondalup Health Campus, WA, validates the ability for HMD’s technology to offer physicians the same level of data accuracy they are used to in the hospital, done by a patient from the comforts of their home. During the trial, the HeraBEAT device demonstrated hospital-grade accuracy for monitoring foetal heart rates, as well as excellent usability scores and user satisfaction – for use both by clinicians and pregnant women who have successfully used it without any support. At the same time, HMD announced that Joondalup Health Campus is expanding the study to explore additional applications for HeraBEAT. During December 2020, approval was granted for this expanded study to begin and as a result, recruitment is now underway. Further details will be provided at the relevant time.
Collaboration with Mayo Clinic
On 21 July 2020, HMD announced an extension of the collaboration with Mayo Clinic, with a new agreement for the development of its HeraCARE pregnancy management platform that includes an equity investment of USD100,000 to support the project as well as expert medical know-how and guidelines in the field of prenatal care, and a license to Mayo’s library of educational content in the space.
On 16 December 2020, HMD announced that the Mayo Clinic’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) had approved the launch of a Clinical Study of the HeraBEAT device and the HeraCARE platform to review foetal and maternal heart rates.

HERAMED LIMITED
PRELIMINARY FINAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2020
The clinical study is being conducted at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. The study is being led by Principal Investigator Yvonne S Butler Tobah M.D., head of Mayo’s OB Nest program with co-investigators Regan Theiler M.D., Ph.D, Chair, Division of Obstetrics, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Abimbola Famuyide, MBBS, Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
The overall study will encompass an assessment of the solution’s functionality, usability, and user acceptability, as well as an evaluation of the impact of the device on the expectant mothers’ perception of foetal wellbeing, measured by standardised surveys. In addition to the clinical trial, HeraMED is also working with the Mayo Clinic to undertake a pilot of the complete HeraCARE solution. HMD will update the market when the pilot begins.
COVID-19
The onset of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has presented a unique opportunity to fast-track the adoption of digital health in maternity care. HeraMED is well-placed to deliver high-quality, prenatal, and postpartum care to improve the safety, efficiency, and cost of maternal healthcare. HeraMED continues to receive significant interest from prospects from around the world and is focused on progressing the growing pipeline of opportunities.
While offering unique opportunities for HeraMED, COVID-19 also presented some challenges for all companies globally and HeraMED is not different:
-
The medical community was and still is under a lot of pressure and therefore HMD experienced certain delays in R&D projects such as Orion as well as in its ability to leverage the above to commercial success.
-
The Company had to carefully and responsibly adjust its operational costs keeping a dynamic and flexible approach optimising its ability to navigate through the pandemic.
-
HeraMED further implemented strict health and safety procedures internally and took all possible measures to mitigate the challenges of working from home.
-
As with manufacturing companies globally, supply chain management remains a challenge. The Company delayed the move of its manufacturing processes to China and is currently manufacturing in Israel.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and it is not practicable to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting period. The timing, extent of the impact and recovery from COVID-19 on our employees, customers, and suppliers is unknown at this stage. The full impact of COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, the Group is unable to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Group’s financial position, liquidity, and operations in the 2021 financial year.
Outlook for 2021
The focus at HeraMED is to continue to create value for our shareholders and to capitalise on our growing pipeline of potential partnerships across the US, Australia, EU, and Israel.
COVID has presented a unique opportunity to fast-track adoption of digital health in maternity care and the focus remains on progressing the growing pipeline and adding new potential partnerships.
So far in 2021, we have already seen improved momentum across several important initiatives – and an expansion to our target market from purely the traditional healthcare providers to now incorporating digital health platforms and medical software companies as new potential channel partners. These groups already have a substantial relationship with multiple parties such as healthcare providers, insurers and so forth, so joining forces will enable us to have access to a much wider potential network and shortcut the sales cycles.
Supported by our recently strengthened balance sheet with the latest raise, we will continue to focus on our well-defined commercialisation strategy, to further expand the pipeline of opportunities, underpinned by the fast-track adoption of telehealth globally.

HERAMED LIMITED
PRELIMINARY FINAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2020
CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE PRELIMINARY FINAL REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation of the financial report
The preliminary final report has been prepared in accordance with the ASX Listing Rule 4.3A and the disclosure requirements of ASX Appendix 4E.
This report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001 .
a) Going concern
The preliminary final report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Group incurred a loss for the year ended 31 December 2020 of $3,358,969 (31 December 2019: $3,128,885) and net cash outflows used in operating activities was $2,788,072 (31 December 2019: $2,645,584).
Whilst the Group is expected to be cash-flow negative in the foreseeable future as a result of continued expenditures, the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional funding through equity to continue to fund its operational and technology development activities. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The directors believe that there are sufficient funds available to continue to meet the Group’s working capital requirements as at the date of this report and that sufficient funds will be available to finance the operations of the Group for the following reasons:
-
the Group has recently been successful in raising equity and is planning to raise further funds;
-
on 4 February 2021, the Group raised A$2,332,275 pursuant to a share placement at A$0.09 per share;
-
the level of expenditure can be managed; and
-
the directors of HeraMED have reason to believe that in addition to the cash flow currently available, additional funds from receipts are expected through the sale of the Group’s products and services.
Should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the preliminary report or raise additional capital through equity raisings and that the preliminary report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they become due and payable.
The directors plan to continue the Group’s operations on the basis outlined above and believe there will be sufficient funds for the Group to meet its obligations and liabilities for at least twelve months from the date of this report.
This report is based on accounts which are in the process of being audited. It is likely that the Auditor will issue an Independent Auditor’s Report that will contain an ‘Emphasis of Matter’ paragraph drawing attention to a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The preliminary financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis.
b) Basis of Measurement and Reporting Conventions
The financial statements, except for cash flow information, have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. The amounts presented in the financial statements have been rounded off to the nearest dollar unless stated otherwise.

CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE PRELIMINARY FINAL REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
c) Adoption of new and revised Australian Accounting Standards
The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the financial year.
New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the financial year that are relevant to the Group include:
AASB 2018-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of a Business
This Standard amends AASB 3 Business Combinations . The amendments clarify that while businesses usually have outputs, outputs are not required for an integrated set of activities and assets to qualify as business. To be considered a business an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs.
AASB 2019-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – References to the Conceptual Framework
The amendments include consequential amendments to affected Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations and other pronouncements to reflect the issuance of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework) by the AASB.
AASB 2019-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
The amendments in AASB 2019-3 modify specific hedge accounting requirements to allow hedge accounting to continue for affected hedges during the period of uncertainty before the hedged items or hedging instruments affected by the current interest rate benchmarks are amended as a result of the ongoing interest rate benchmark reforms.
AASB 2019-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of the Effect of New IFRS Standards Not Yet Issued in Australia
This Standard makes amendments to AASB 1054 Additional Australian Disclosures by adding a disclosure requirement for an entity intending to comply with IFRS Standards to disclose information specified in paragraphs 30 and 31 of AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors on the potential effect of an IFRS Standard that has not yet been issued by the AASB.
The adoption of these Amendments has had no significant impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
d) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
Key Estimates and Judgements
Share based payments
The Group initially measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant.
This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them, as well as an assessment of the probability of achieving non-market based vesting conditions.
The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 4.

CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO THE PRELIMINARY FINAL REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Impairment
In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash-generating unit based on the fair value less cost of disposal. The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment once a year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is an impairment. An impairment loss is recognised if the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is lower than the carrying value of the cashgenerating unit.
The Directors make estimates and judgements in preparing the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events based and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.
Development costs
Costs relating to the development of HeraBEAT are capitalised in accordance with AASB 138 Intangible Assets . Capitalised costs include all direct costs associated with the development of the asset. The development asset is amortised over a 6-year period from the capitalisation date which is determined by the useful life of the asset, ability to use or sell the asset, generation of future benefits and the ability to measure the costs reliably and whether the costs, including payroll costs are directly attributable to relevant projects.
Fair value of long-term liabilities
The Company measured its liability on governmental grants received, each period, based on discounted cash flows derived from the Group's future anticipated revenues. The grant is repayable upon the Group commencing product commercialisation and generating revenue from the sale of the product, with repayments being based on 3%-4.5% of each dollar of revenue. As required by AASB 9 Financial Instruments , the liability has been recognised at fair value on initial recognition and subject to management’s estimate of the discount rate and the timing and quantity of future revenues.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company evaluates, based on its best estimate of future sales, whether there is reasonable assurance that the liability recognised, in whole or in part, will not be repaid (since the Company will not be required to pay royalties). If there is such reasonable assurance, the appropriate amount of the liability is derecognised and recorded in profit or loss as a revaluation of research and development expenses. If the estimate of future sales indicates that there is no such reasonable assurance, the appropriate amount of the liability that reflects expected future royalty payments is recognised with a corresponding adjustment to financial expenses or income.
Deferred Consideration Shares
Deferred consideration shares will convert into ordinary shares subject to the satisfaction of certain performance milestones within 36 months of quotation (further details are provided at note 3(d)). The probability of achieving non-market-based performance milestones is assessed at each reporting date.

(c) Capital Management
Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, the Group does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the Group’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the Group to meet research and development programs and corporate overheads. The Group’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. Any surplus funds are invested with major financial institutions.
