ASX ANNOUNCEMENT – HALF-YEAR RESULTS AND BUSINESS UPDATE 31 DECEMBER 2010
ImpediMed Limited (“ImpediMed” or the “Group”) today released final reviewed results for the half-year ended 31 December 2010.
“In the first half of the year, management made important progress on the key initiatives related to the Group’s strategy and operating plan” said Greg Brown, CEO. These included:
-
Stanford University (Stanford) filed a submission with the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for a “National Coverage Determination” (NCD), “Coverage with Evidence Development” (CED), for supporting a Stanford run registry. While most commercial CED applications fail, this Stanford arm registry, supported by a specific Medicare Evidence Development and Coverage Advisory Committee (MEDCAC) panel recommendation and a professional governing society in breast surgery, is well placed for meeting the requirements to be eligible for a CED. Stanford anticipates a draft decision memorandum before the Group’s financial year-end, at which point the Group would be required to support the running costs of the registry.
-
The Group continues to develop its new technology platform for submitting future regulatory claims in the clinical assessment of lymphoedema of the legs in both men and women. The Group made headway in the UB500 research and development project. Twenty (20) Beta II devices were completed with ten (10) ready to be distributed for use in clinical trials. The remaining ten (10) devices will be used in clinical research studies independently run by the Group in Australia and Europe.
-
Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC launched a lymphoedema prevention program in breast cancer patients. L-Dex[®] was selected as a technology to aid clinicians in the clinical assessment of unilateral lymphoedema of the arm in female breast cancer patients. UPMC is an $8 billion health enterprise integrating 20 hospitals and a health insurance service division. ImpediMed is working closely with UPMC Health plan in an effort to support establishing coverage.
-
The Group commissioned and announced an independent health economic model in November 2010 which demonstrates significant savings for the U.S. healthcare system when implementing pre-emptive care approaches to secondary
Page 1 of 3
lymphoedema. The model looks at the benefits of prospective care models and considers the costs of L-Dex testing, being used to aid medical providers in the clinical assessment of unilateral lymphoedema of the arms in female breast cancer patients. This is compared to current clinical practice of reactive diagnosis and treatment costs. This economic model will assist health insurers for supporting efforts to establish coverage.
- Successful capital raising activities carried over from the previous fiscal year resulting in $9.4 million, net of transaction costs, received during the first half of the current financial year. An additional $4.1 million, net of transaction costs, was raised via an underwritten Share Purchase Plan in January 2011.
“Based on the accumulation of clinical and health economic data related to ImpediMed’s L- Dex technology, we are encouraged about the prospects of reimbursement coverage from healthcare payers across the globe,” said Greg Brown, CEO. “ImpediMed’s L-Dex technology is a cost effective, standardised and objective measurement used to aid in the clinical assessment of unilateral lymphoedema of the arm in female breast cancer patients. We look forward with confidence to building coverage on the new CPT code and seeing the emergence of independent clinical recommendations supporting pre-emptive care.”
ImpediMed’s first six months of fiscal year 2011 have been strengthened by continued progress across several facets of the Group:
-
Revenue, excluding finance income, for the first half of the year grew to $1.9 million, an increase of 7% over $1.7 million revenue generated in the first half of the prior year. Using a constant currency exchange rate of the Australian dollar to the US dollar, current period revenue, excluding finance income, grew by 14% over the prior comparative period.
-
Total comprehensive loss for the first half of the year was $8.7 million compared to $6.1 million in the first half of the prior year. Due to the exchange rate fluctuation, the Group incurred a foreign currency translation loss of $2.3 million included in administrative and governance expense in the current period, compared to $0.7 million in the prior comparative period. The foreign currency translation loss is due to the translation of US dollar cash holdings by the Group’s parent which has a functional currency of Australian dollars. The Group maintains a significant portion of available cash in US dollars to match US dollar expenses.
-
Net cash flows used in operating activities decreased to $5.9 million in the first half of the year compared to $6.5 million for the comparative period due to increase in receipts from customers and lower payments to suppliers inclusive of goods and services tax. The half-year costs included increased spending for salaries and benefits due to headcount increases and spending on the UB500 program to complete the Beta II prototype devices.
-
L-Dex device placements continue to progress in the US lymphoedema market with 108 devices in the market at varying stages of qualification. The adoption of L-Dex
Page 2 of 3
agreements has slowed in the first half of the year due to clinicians waiting for coverage on a new Category III (CPT) code that became active on 1 January 2011.
-
Net assets at 31 December 2010 were $23.3 million versus $22.2 million at 30 June 2010, an increase of 5%. In January 2011, the Group raised an additional $4.1 million, net of transaction costs, from a Share Purchase Plan Offer to existing Australian and New Zealand shareholders.
-
The L-Dex annuity business will be driven, when medical providers are reimbursed (coding, payment and coverage) by insurers, at a reasonable payment, for performing L-Dex testing as an aid in their clinical assessment of unilateral lymphoedema of female breast cancer patients. This is a critical success requirement to drive future revenues.
The Group’s financial results for the first half of the year reflect a combination of continued hard work by management and our employees to deliver on our strategy and milestones for our shareholders.

L-Dex® is a trademark of ImpediMed Limited.
“L-Dex® values that lie outside the normal range may indicate the early signs of lymphoedema and values that have changed +10 L- Dex® units from baseline may also indicate early lymphoedema. The L-Dex® scale is a tool to aid 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”.

Operating and financial review
Group overview
ImpediMed Limited was founded in Australia in 1999, and was listed on the ASX on 24 October 2007.
The ImpediMed Group consists of three entities:
-
ImpediMed Limited, the parent company operating in medical markets in regions outside the U.S., incorporated in 1999 and listed on the ASX on 24 October 2007.
-
ImpediMed Inc, a Delaware corporation operating in medical markets in North America.
-
XiTRON Technologies, Inc, a California corporation operating in medical and power test and measurement markets globally. XiTRON Technologies, Inc was acquired by ImpediMed Limited on 1 October 2007.
Operating results for the period
-
Total comprehensive loss for the current period was $8.7 million versus $6.1 million in the comparative prior period. The loss from continuing operations after income tax was $8.1 million versus $5.6 million in the comparative prior period. The loss from continuing operations after income tax was impacted by foreign exchange rate losses.
-
The average exchange rate for the reporting period was US$0.945 to $1.00 versus US$0.902 to $1.00 for the comparative prior period. Due to this exchange rate fluctuation, the Group incurred a foreign currency translation loss of $2.3 million included in administrative and governance expense in the current period compared to $0.7 million in the prior comparative period. The Group maintains a significant portion of available funds in US dollars to match US dollar expenses.
-
Sale of goods and services for the current period were $1.9 million versus $1.7 million in the comparative prior period, an increase of 12%. The increase in revenue was due primarily to an increase in L-Dex® agreements in the US and device sales worldwide which was partially offset by the effect of a strengthening Australian dollar versus the US dollar.
The Group has continued its focus in the US Lymphoedema market to place L-Dex agreements with clinicians. The agreements often provide for an introductory period where clinicians are provided electrodes to perform the L-Dex readings without charge. Upon completion of the introductory period,
3
Directors’ Report
the clinicians pay a monthly or quarterly minimum payment to cover a predetermined number of L-Dex readings. Additional readings are sold to the customer at predetermined prices.
There was an increase of 34 L-Dex agreements in the US marketplace from December 2009 to December 2010. The rate of new agreements slowed in the first half of financial year 2011 due to clinicians waiting for the activation and, therefore, the ability to use the American Medical Association Category III current procedural terminology (CPT) code. This code is critical for the clinician to obtain reimbursement from US payers for taking readings with our L-Dex device. Our CPT code, 0239T, was available for use by clinicians in billing payers from 1 January 2011.
-
Cost of sales decreased by $0.1 million or 10% from the previous corresponding period on higher sales. The decrease was due to lower selling costs related to lower royalties and commissions in our test and measurement segment.
-
Salaries and benefits expense for the current period was $3.1 million versus $2.6 million in the comparative prior period. The increase is related to increased headcount in sales and marketing, managed care and corporate support.
-
Research and development expense for the current period was $0.7 million versus $0.2 million in the comparative prior period. The increase in spending was due primarily to the development of our next generation UB500 Beta II device. The UB500 device is an important product in our strategy to expand the Group’s bioimpedance spectroscopy technology to testing pelvic cancer survivors, both male and female. Twenty (20) Beta II devices were manufactured during the current period for use in upcoming clinical studies and trials.
-
Administrative and governance expense for the current period was $2.9 million versus $1.2 million in the comparative prior period. The increase was due primarily to an increase in foreign exchange losses on US dollar assets held by the Group in the period as the Australian dollar strengthened compared to the US dollar.
-
Advertising and promotion expense for the current period was $0.1 million versus $36,000 in the comparative prior period. The increase was due to increased activities at trade shows.
-
Other comprehensive loss was $0.6 million versus $0.5 million in the comparative prior period. The increase was primarily due to the improving translation rate of the Australian dollar versus the US dollar during the current period and the increase in US dollar assets held by the Group.
Liquidity and capital resources
-
Cash and cash equivalents increased to $19.9 million at 31 December 2010 from $18.8 million at 30 June 2010 due primarily to the capital raise on 13 December 2010 offset by net cash used in operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities for the period was $5.9 million which reflected a decrease from $6.5 million net cash used in operating activities in the comparative prior period.
-
Cash flow from financing activities generated $9.4 million, net of transaction costs, compared to $6.6 million, net of transaction costs in the comparative prior period.
Rounding of amounts
The amounts contained in this report and in the condensed financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2010 have been rounded to the nearest thousand (where rounding is applicable and where noted ($000)) under the option available to the Company under ASIC CO 98/100.

Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010
1 Basis of preparation and accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of ImpediMed Limited for the half-year ended 31 December 2010 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 23 February 2011.
This general purpose condensed financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2010 has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 .
The half-year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.
It is recommended that the half-year financial report be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2010 and considered together with any public announcements made by the Group during the half-year ended 31 December 2010 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX listing rules.
Apart from the changes in accounting policy noted below, the accounting policies and methods of computation are the same as those adopted in the most recent annual financial report.
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except where otherwise indicated.
Going concern
The going concern basis of accounting contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities. This report adopts the going concern basis.
The Group has incurred an operating loss after income tax of $8.1 million for the half-year ended 31 December 2010 (31 December 2009: $5.6 million) and net operating cash outflow of $5.9 million for the half-year ended 31 December 2010 (31 December 2009: $6.5 million).
The directors believe that the Group continues to be a going concern and that it will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due for a period of 12 months from the date of signing this report due to the following:
-
(i) The Group believes it will be able to raise additional capital from its shareholders and potential investors should this be necessary.
-
(ii) As at 31 December 2010, the Group had net assets of $23.3 million. At the same date, the market capitalisation of ImpediMed Limited was in excess of $121.8 million and as at 31 December 2010, assets of the Group exceeded liabilities by a ratio of 14.54 : 1.
-
(iii) The Group had cash at its disposal of $19.9 million at 31 December 2010 and had no borrowings from banks or other financial institutions at 31 December 2010.
-

Auditor’s Independent Review Report
To the members of ImpediMed Limited
Report on the Half Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half year financial report of ImpediMed Limited, which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2010, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other selected explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half year end or from time to time during the half year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the half year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of Interim and Other Financial Reports Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2010 and its performance for the half year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of ImpediMed Limited and the entities it controlled during the half year, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the Directors’ Report.
Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half year financial report of ImpediMed Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2010 and of its performance for the half year ended on that date; and
-
ii) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
