  • The American Medical Association (AMA) released the CPT Category I code descriptor for bioimpedance spectroscopy for all cancer-related lymphoedema.

  • Leading US oncologist Dr Frank A. Vicini joined ImpediMed as Chief Medical Officer to provide oncology expertise and leadership for future business development and strategy.

President and CEO Richard Carreon commented, “The first 6 months of this fiscal year have been a transformational time for ImpediMed. We are focused in this half on firmly establishing routine usage of L-Dex in commercial pilots with 6 major US oncology sites, as a precursor to a broader US roll out of L-Dex planned for late in this calendar year. We are pleased with the progress we are making with 3 major oncology sites having recently commenced their commercial pilots of L- Dex.”

Directors’ Report

Your directors submit their report together with the consolidated interim financial report for ImpediMed Limited (“the Company” or “the Group”) for the half-year ended 31 December 2014 and the auditor’s review report therein.

Directors

The names of the directors in office during the half-year and until the date of this report are set out below. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated.

Cherrell Hirst, AO, FTSE, MBBS, BEdSt, DUniv, FAICD (Non-executive Chairman) David Adams, Juris Doctorate, BSc (Non-executive Director) Jim Hazel, BEc, SF Fin, FAICD (Non-executive Director) Michael Panaccio, PhD, MBA, BSc (Hons), FAICD (Non-executive Director) Scott Ward, Ms, BSc (Non-executive Director)

Principal activities

The principal activities of the Group during the period were the development, manufacture, placement and sale of bioimpedance devices and consumables and the sale of electronic test and measurement devices.

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 North America, 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 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 period was $4.6 million (31 December 2013: $3.5 million). The loss from continuing operations for the period after income tax was $6.1 million (31 December 2013 $3.6 million). The larger loss was primarily due to increased staff, advertising and promotions and consulting costs in the lead up to the CPT[®] Category I code becoming effective on 1 January 2015. During the period, the Company also adjusted base pay and short-term incentive (“STI”) percentages for key management personnel and other employees to remain competitive in the marketplace.

  • Sale of goods and services for the current period were $2.1 million (31 December 2013: $1.6 million), an increase of 29% from the previous corresponding period. The increase in revenue was due primarily to an increase in the US Lymphedema market of 18%. In addition, global Body Composition revenue increased by 29% and global Test and Measurement related revenue increased by 71%. The increased revenue in the US Lymphedema market was mainly due to an increase in patient assessments orders during the period from new and existing customers.

  • Cost of sales for the current period were $0.6 million (31 December 2013: $0.4 million). The increase in costs of sales is largely consistent with the increase in revenue during the period. In the medical segment, there was an increase in gross margin as a larger portion of revenue came from patient assessments, which carry a higher gross margin. This was offset by higher Test & Measurement revenue, which typically has a lower gross margin. In addition, during the period the Group made the election to move costs related to sales commissions out of cost of sales and in to employee related expenses and advertising expenses. The prior period was restated for comparative purposes.

3

Directors’ Report

Operating results for the period (continued)

The Parent and ImpediMed Inc. are the entities that generate revenue from bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) devices for the Group. These companies enter into agreements to place the L-Dex[®] U400 with customers.

Under these agreements, ImpediMed may retain title to the device and carry the cost in property, plant and equipment, depreciating the device over three years. As the U.S. marketplace business scales up, the investment in L-Dex devices is expected to have some impact on the working capital needs of the Group which are expected to be offset by revenue and profitability.

Expenses for the period were $7.8 million (31 December 2013: $4.8 million).

  • Salaries and benefits expense for the current period was $4.0 million (31 December 2013: $2.2 million). The increase in spending was primarily due to increased staff costs as the Company brought on additional sales and marketing personnel in the lead up to the CPT Category I code becoming effective on 1 January 2015, as well as adjustments made to base pay and STI’s for key management personnel and employees during the period. Headcount increased from 24 (31 December 2013) to 40 (31 December 2014) full and part-time employees.

  • Advertising and promotion expense for the current period was $0.6 million (31 December 2013: $0.2 million). The increase was primarily due to a Market Research study that began during the period, as well as increased activity from the increased sales and marketing related headcount.

  • Travel expenses for the current period were $0.5 million (31 December 2013: $0.3 million). The increase was primarily due to increased activity from the higher sales and marketing related headcount.

  • Share-based payment expense for the current period was $0.5 million (31 December 2013: $0.3 million). The increase was primarily due to grants to key management personnel and other participants during the period.

  • Consultants and professional fees for the current period were $0.9 million (31 December 2013: $0.7 million). The increase was primarily due to expansion of investor relation programs during the period, which included market research and analysis and other corporate advisory services.

Liquidity and capital resources

Cash and cash equivalents increased to $38.2 million at 31 December 2014 from $10.8 million at 30 June 2014 due primarily to the capital raise of $32.5 million before costs, netted partially by capital raising costs and cash used to fund operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities for the period was $4.1 million compared to $2.8 million for the six months ending 31 December 2013. The increase in cash outflows was mainly due to an increase in headcount and staff costs in the lead up to the CPT Category I code becoming effective on 1 January 2015.

The Group maintains a significant portion of available funds in U.S. dollars to match U.S. dollar expenditure needs. The loss from continuing operations for the period before income tax includes realised foreign exchange loss arising from the operating expenses in the U.S. The spot exchange rate for the beginning and end of the reporting period was AUD $1.00 to USD $0.942 and USD $0.816, respectively. The spot exchange rate for the beginning and end of the comparative period was AUD $1.00 to USD $0.913 and USD $0.887, respectively.

Directors’ Report

Significant events after the balance date

ImpediMed announced the launch of additional L-Dex pilots with two prominent community oncology groups in the US, which provide outpatient care for thousands of new cancer patients each year. The pilot programs will provide the Company a unique opportunity to gain insight into community oncology through constructive feedback regarding implementation, integration, and patient use aspects of the L-Dex system in order to optimise the utility and benefits of the L-Dex system in this environment.

Rounding of amounts

The amounts contained in this report and in the financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2014 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.

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014

1 Basis of preparation and accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of ImpediMed Limited for the six months ended 31 December 2014 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 25 February 2015.

The interim consolidated financial statements (“financial report”) for the half-year ended 31 December 2014 have 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 2014 and considered together with any public announcements made by the Group during the half-year ended 31 December 2014 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.

Changes in accounting policy

The accounting policies and methods of computation are consistent with those of the most recent annual report except the following amending Standards and Interpretations have been adopted in the current period. There was no material impact on the financial report as a result of the mandatory new and amended Accounting Standards adopted, which are outlined below:

  • AASB 2015-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 101 . The amendments to AASB 101 clarify, rather than significantly change, existing requirements related to materiality requirements, flexibility as to financial statements presentation and clarifying specific line items of other comprehensive income that may be disaggregated. These amendments make changes to presentation and disclosure requirements, but do not affect the Group’s accounting policies or the amounts reported in the financial statements.

  • AASB 2015-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Withdrawal of AASB 1031 Materiality. The Standard completes the AASB’s project to remove Australian guidance on materiality from the standards. These amendments make changes to presentation and disclosure requirements, but do not affect the Group’s accounting policies or the amounts reported in the financial statements.

The Group has not elected to early adopt any other new Standards or Amendments that are issued but not yet effective. Certain amounts in the comparative financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand ($000) unless 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.

Going concern (continued)

The Group has realised a loss after income tax of $6.1 million for the half-year ended 31 December 2014 (31 December 2013: $3.6 million) and net operating cash outflow of $4.1 million for the halfyear ended 31 December 2014 (31 December 2013: $2.8 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 in excess of 12 months from the date of signing this report due to the following:

  • (i) During the period, the Group completed a $32.5 million Rights Issue (Entitlement Offer), before costs. The capital raise was fully underwritten.

  • (ii) As at 31 December 2014, the Group had net assets of $40.2 million (30 June 2014: $13.5 million). At the same date, the market capitalisation of ImpediMed Limited was $243.3 million (30 June 2014: $44.1 million) and current assets of the Group exceeded current liabilities by a ratio of 14.7 : 1 (30 June 2014: 9.5 : 1).

  • (iii) The Group had cash at its disposal of $38.2 million at 31 December 2014 and had no borrowings from banks or other financial institutions at 31 December 2014.

  • (iv) The Group has the ability to vary certain expenditures; therefore cash outflows can be adjusted.

  • (v) The operating plans have been set such that cash on hand at the date of signing is expected to last in excess of 12 months from the date of issue of the financial report.

On this basis the directors believe that the going concern basis of presentation is appropriate. No adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

7 Share-based payments

For the six months ended 31 December 2014, the Group had $0.5 million (31 December 2013: $0.3 million) of share-based payment transactions expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

During the period, the Group granted awards under the Employee Incentive Plan (“EIP”) and the Employee Stock Option Plan. The EIP was approved at the Group’s Annual General Meeting held on 30 October 2014. Any awards granted after 30 October 2014 fall under the EIP.

The weighted average fair value of the options granted during the six month period was $0.39 (31 December 2013: $0.11).

In December 2014, 7,970,000 share options and 2,260,000 performance rights were granted under the various incentive plans. The award grants included 5,061,000 share options and 2,104,000 performance rights granted to key management personnel under the EIP during the period. The exercise price of the options of $0.69 was equal to the market price of the shares on the date of grant. The options incrementally vest on each monthly anniversary of the date of grant over four years if the participant is still employed on such dates. All outstanding unvested options shall fully vest on an accelerated basis as of immediately before a Change of Control Event. The fair value of the options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black Scholes model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted.

The performance rights were granted for nil consideration and fully vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the participant’s continuous employment with the Company or other Group entity. All outstanding unvested performance rights shall fully vest on an accelerated basis immediately before a Change of Control Event.

The fair value of awards granted, as mentioned above, were estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions:

Acquisitions and disposals

During the six months ended 31 December 2014, the Group acquired assets with a cost of $123,000 (six months ended 31 December 2013: $37,000) in relation to new computers for the Company and a new air conditioner unit for the Australian-based office.

9 Intangible assets and goodwill

Intangible assets increased in the current period due to foreign currency exchange movements, which was partially offset by the normal amortisation of computer software and licences.

Goodwill increased in the current period due to foreign currency exchange movements.

18

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014

9 Intangible assets and goodwill (continued)

Goodwill tests for impairment bi-annually (as at 31 December and 30 June) and when circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. The key inputs used in impairment testing were disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014.

The Group found no evidence of impairment of goodwill or other assets, and as a result, no impairment loss has been recognised at the reporting date.

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 interim consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2014, the interim consolidated statement of comprehensive income, interim consolidated statement of changes in equity and interim consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other 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 a Financial Report 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 2014 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.

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:

  • a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2014 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
