ASX RELEASE

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT – APPENDIX 4C – QUARTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

Brisbane, Australia - ImpediMed Limited (ASX:IPD) (the Company) is pleased to provide its Appendix 4C quarterly cash flow report (unaudited) for the quarter ended 30 June 2012.

ImpediMed Executive Director, Mr. Greg Brown said, “During fourth quarter we saw the U.S. Lymphoedema market up slightly over the same quarter for the previous year. Widespread reimbursement continues to be a critical success factor and the Company remains focused in building L-Dex[®] U400 testing.”

“As we enter financial year 2013, we are focused on accelerating access to this technology and continuing to educate physicians, patients and payers on the importance and improved outcomes of early detection of Lymphoedema,” added ImpediMed President & CEO, Mr. Richard Carreon.

The following are some highlights from the quarter:

  • We announced the appointment of Richard Carreon as our new U.S. based CEO starting in July 2012. Richard is a seasoned medical device executive having spent 11 years in senior (Vice President) roles at Medtronic Inc., a global provider of medical technology and devices.

  • U.S. lymphoedema revenue from L-Dex readings is up 16.3% over the same twelve months in the prior year. Customers ordered more electrodes than in the previous year.

  • We announced the publication of the Health Economic model in a key U.S. managed care journal. This model supports both the clinical and economic outcomes of using L- Dex in the care continuum of breast cancer patients. The publication model compares the impact based on the clinical outcomes of a theoretical population of one (1) million covered lives in the United States and compares the new prospective management model with today’s reactive model of care. The model shows savings to the healthcare system using pre-emptive care.

  • Magee’s Womens Hospital of UPMC also presented at the MASCC/ISOO - 2012 International Symposium on Supportive Care in Cancer held in New York. The clinical outcomes data was directly linked to the use of the L-Dex U400 technology (BIS) in a routine setting for helping lymphoedema prevention in breast cancer patients. The conclusion drawn from the data collected was that early detection and timely intervention demonstrated the greatest promise of reducing the incidence of late-stage lymphoedema. UPMC also anticipated, with an extended period of follow-up, a delay or elimination of more advanced breast cancer related lymphoedema (BCRL) in the future.

  • We announced winning the “Life Changing” award at the Medical Device & Diagnostics Expo hosted by BIOCOM in California, USA in May. The award was for the U400 limb application, which we received U.S. FDA clearance for in November 2011.

  • We held a Board Room Radio address on “Common Questions Addressed on U.S. Reimbursement” in June 2012 to further educate shareholders and analysts on U.S. reimbursement issues.

  • We completed an Institutional Entitlement Offer and a Retail Entitlement Offer in the fourth quarter with net proceeds of $8.1 million.

Cash Flow Report Commentary

Cash on hand as of 30 June 2012 was $14.5 million as compared with $17.9 million at 30 June 2011. Receipts from customers for the quarter ending 30 June 2012 were $0.7 million down from $1.0 million for the corresponding quarter ending 30 June 2011 and was stable compared to the $0.7 million for the most recent quarter ending 31 March 2012.

Receipts from customers for the twelve months ending 30 June 2012 were $2.9 million compared to $3.8 million in the previous twelve months ending 30 June 2011. As in the first three quarters, receipts continue to be down in the non-core businesses of test and measurement (T&M) and body composition (BC) as revenue from these customer bases continue to be slower this financial year. Customer purchases from T&M and BC are generally of a capital expenditure nature and continue to be impacted by broader market conditions.

Net cash used in operations for the quarter was $3.0 million compared to $2.6 million cash used in the previous quarter ended 31 March 2012, a 15% increase. The increase in net cash used from the previous quarter relates to an increase in research and development expenses, staff costs and other working capital.

Net cash used in operations for the twelve month period ending 30 June 2012 was $11.8 million compared to $11.3 million cash used in the previous twelve month period ended 30 June 2011, a 4% increase. The increase in net cash used relates to decreases in receipt from customers, higher advertising and marketing expenses and research and development expenses offset by a decrease in other working capital spending.
