CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

Overview

The Board has continued to follow its broad strategic plans which have provided the company with strong growth and improved profitability during the last financial year.

The company is in an excellent position to continue to capitalise on the increasing global and local opportunities that present themselves.

The Board and management are guided by our underlying commitment to continue investment in our best of breed suite of innovative products - to maintain market leadership, which we believe is fundamental to your company’s success.

The global management team has remained constant throughout the year and the Board is confident that they can continue to deliver long term sustainable financial results given the appropriate strategies.

Although we didn’t announce any new customer gains in North America or Europe last financial year it was pleasing to gain a significant new RIS customer in Australia. We did however very successfully implement a number of previously announced contracts in North America which has added significant ongoing revenue for the company.

There are a number of new opportunities, particularly in North America, that management is pursuing which hopefully will soon add to our client base. These opportunities are in various stages of negotiation with some reasonably well advanced.

The Primary Health Care RIS deal will further enhance our revenues when implementation commences in the first half of next calendar year. This contract vindicates the significant investment that we have made in our new RIS platform and confirms our leading position in the Australian market.

Long Term Incentive Plan

The Long Term Incentive Plan was introduced in 2011 and was renewed in 2014. This plan has served the company well and has assisted in retaining almost all of our key executives. As I indicated last year, with the assistance of remuneration consultants we revised the terms of the plan to make it more in keeping with the plans of other like companies. Whilst this hasn’t resulted in any material changes to total remuneration we believe it will better serve the company and its Key Management Personnel into the future.

A resolution is proposed to extend the plan for a further three years which will be put to a vote later in the meeting and I trust that you will support the resolution.

Directors

As the business continues to grow a range of diverse opportunities are being presented to the company. These are principally in the areas of research collaborations and licensing of software both inwards and outwards. In keeping with our strategic objective of diversifying and strengthening the skills of the Board we undertook a search for a suitably qualified additional Non- Executive Director to assist in the areas of need.

We were delighted to secure the services of Dr. Leigh Farrell who was appointed to the Board effective 8 September 2017. Leigh has attended two Board meetings to date and is already making a positive contribution.

As you are aware Leigh has offered himself for election and I trust that you will support the motion when it is put later in the meeting.

As was announced on 31 October 2017, Rod Lyle has indicated his intention to retire from the Board at the close of this meeting. I will make some comments at the close of the meeting in relation to his contribution to the success of the Company and will allow him to respond at that time.

Financial Results

The financial results for the 2017 financial year recorded another healthy increase in net profit after tax (2017 $9.321 million: 2016 $6.368 million or 46%). This result was a record for the company and a wonderful reward for maintaining our strategic focus and has been achieved after making the necessary ongoing investments for future growth.

The result was unfortunately negatively impacted by significant foreign currency losses ($0.777million before tax and $0.544 million after tax). Whilst a proportion of those losses were unrealised the Board has taken measures to mitigate the effect of future currency fluctuations on the company’s results .

The underlying profit for the year of $9.87million after tax was up 53% on the previous year.

The Company continued to be cash flow positive with retained cash increasing from $17 million to nearly $23 million after paying an increased dividend.

The Board anticipates another strong year with the majority of growth occurring in the second half of the financial year. Results to date are largely in line with our expectations. Many of our previously announced contracts are progressively contributing to our revenues and we expect this trend to continue as the year unfolds.

Dividend Policy

The Board was pleased to increase dividend payments for the 2017 financial year to 4 cents per share with the final dividend of 2.5 cents being fully franked. This represents an increase of 33% over the previous year and a payout ratio of 44%. The dividends were fully funded from the company’s internally generated cash flow. The Board anticipates that future dividends will be fully franked. The Board will continue to determine an appropriate level of dividends having regard to the profitability of the business, its need for ongoing investment and the necessity to retain sufficient funds to pursue other growth opportunities.

Closing

In closing, on your behalf, I would like to thank all of our dedicated staff in Australia, North America and Europe for their contribution to the company during what has been another very positive year. I would also like to thank my fellow directors who have also worked tirelessly and diligently to ensure that the company reaches its ultimate goals.
