Why are sales not growing?

  • Lack of outcomes data

― No data to show that continuous brain monitoring and intervention results in lower rates of brain impairment e.g. at 2 years of age

― Interventions are not well established - current data shows that more seizures are detected with monitoring, and also fewer babies with clinically suspected seizures with no EEG signs of seizures on monitoring are treated with anti-epileptic drugs ― Results of cooling trials without aEEG triage are at least as good ― First outcomes data MRI likely 2010

  • Other factors

    • BrainZ is preferred brand, but there is some competitive price cutting ― Medico-legal considerations in the USA

Current Strategy

  • Accept the facts - insufficient capital to continue current operations until outcomes data are available to drive market expansion

  • Present efforts:

    1. Integrate BZI into a broader neonatal business

    2. Partnership/trade sale with parties with an interest in the assets of BZI 3. Potential OEM arrangements
