NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS
ImpediMed Limited (ASX:IPD) (the Group or the Company) is pleased to provide its Appendix 4C quarterly cash flow report (unaudited) for the quarter and year ended 30 June 2011.
ImpediMed CEO, Mr. Greg Brown said, “We are pleased with the Group’s progress during the quarter in advancing key programs for reimbursement and for U.S. physician adoption of L-Dex® medical devices to aid in the clinical assessment of unilateral lymphoedema in females. Significant work during the quarter culminated in the Company expanding its coverage for L-Dex testing”.
The following are some highlights from the quarter:
-
The achievement of the first covered lives milestone with the release of 12 million covered lives.

-
The independent IMS health economic paper was submitted for publication to a recognised key journal in the Managed Care field.
-
Three scientific articles were published around the use/application of bioimpedance spectroscopy devices (U400 L-Dex) in a hospital or clinical environment. In addition, a number of surgeons are authoring publications of clinical data which documents the performance value of L-Dex readings to aid in the clinical assessment of unilateral lymphoedema in female patients. Several articles are approved and in the process of being published in important industry journals.
-
ImpediMed finished the year with over 1,200 shareholders and the Company is now included in the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries indices effective late March 2011.

Cash Flow Report Commentary
Cash on hand as of 30 June 2011 was $17.9 million as compared with $21.0 for the previous quarter ended 31 March 2011. Receipts from customers for the quarter and twelve months ending 30 June 2011 were $1.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
Net cash used in operations for the quarter was $2.7 million, representing a nil increase in cash used as compared to the $2.7 million cash used in the previous quarter ended 31 March 2011 and $2.2 million for the quarter ended 30 June 2010. The increase in net cash used from the previous quarters relates to an increase in employee salaries and benefit costs, advertising and promotion, professional and consulting fees and other working capital items.
“Insurance coverage continues to be the key driver to our business model, we remain focused on building clinical support and independent medical guidelines to aid in building coverage for reimbursement,” said Mr. Brown.

L-Dex® is a trademark of ImpediMed Limited.
The L-Dex scale is a tool to assist in the clinical assessment of lymphoedema by a medical provider. The L-Dex scale is not intended to diagnose or predict lymphoedema of an extremity.
L-Dex® values that have an increase of ten (10) L-Dex units from a patient's baseline L-Dex value represent a change of three (3) standard deviations (3SD). This has been demonstrated in a matched normal population to be potentially clinically relevant to the medical provider in aiding in the clinical assessment of unilateral lymphoedema of the arm. For an initial assessment where no measurement history exists, a range representing 3SD either side of a normal population mean is highlighted on the L-Dex scale to aid the medical provider in their clinical assessment. Medical providers need to be aware that a 3SD change can still occur within this range and where possible should utilize changes from baseline of 10 L-Dex units.
