2.6 Commentary on results for the year

At the time of the last Annual Report the financial performance of BrainZ was disappointing. Sales growth was slow with no near term substantial reduction in cash burn foreseeable in spite of our leading brand in neonatal bedside brain monitoring with good opinion leader awareness. The Board of Directors of BrainZ sought ways of maximising the value of the assets, recognising that both capital and clinical outcomes data were likely to be necessary to achieve satisfactory sales results. Alternatives explored included (1) integrating BrainZ into a broader neonatal business in order to achieve the necessary critical mass and capital, (2)

appropriate OEM arrangements, and/or (3) entering partnerships with parties with an interest in specific products such as the seizure detection product RecogniZeTM.

In October 2008 BrainZ entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Natus Medical Inc (NASDAQ: BABY) to sell all or substantially all of its assets to Natus for NZ$1,300,000. A Special Meeting of BrainZ shareholders was held on 5 November 2008, approving the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to Natus as outlined in an explanatory statement dated 16 October 2008. Under this Agreement Natus took ownership of the assets and assumed BrainZ's obligations under its then-existing customer and supplier contracts. The Asset Purchase Agreement closed on 2 Dec 2008 with some transitional services being provided to Natus and the majority of BrainZ employees completing their notice periods around the end of January 2009. The final monies outstanding from Natus under the Asset purchase agreement were collected by BrainZ in May 2009.

The total cash burn during the 2008-9 fiscal year was $1.3 million, with first half-year burn of $1.0 million. These figures incorporate funds received from Natus in the second half-year, including the $1.3m received in Dec 2008, as well as costs related to the sale and costs of final staff payments. The final payments due from Natus under the contract were received in May 2009. As previously announced to the ASX, the Directors are considering a return of capital towards the end of 2009, which may require the company to be liquidated. This timeframe is dictated by the length of time to fully wind down the business. Depending on the legal means of effecting any distribution, shareholder approval may also be required.
