Chairman's Address AGM November 2018

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

Overview

The Board has continued to follow its strategic plans which have provided the company with significant growth and improved profitability during the last financial year. Each of our businesses in our main markets (Australia, Europe and North America) contributed strongly to the result.

The group continues to invest 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.

In late August of this year the Board held a two-day strategy meeting attended by all members of the global leadership team. With the core principles of our strategy intact we focused on developing trends within our existing markets and how best we could position the company for emerging future opportunities. These include conducting research and developing innovative solutions with some of our prestigious clients. In September the group appointed an experienced researcher to lead our efforts in this area. We are also in the process of further developing our capacity in the artificial intelligence (AI) space.

During the year we announced several new contracts including Yale New Haven Health and Visage Open Archive to Mercy Health, in North America as well as the expansion of our relationship with I-MED Radiology Network in Australia. Each of these will contribute to our future revenues.

The group remains in an excellent position to continue to capitalise on the increasing global and local opportunities that present themselves. The management team is working on a number of new opportunities and our pipeline is greater than it has ever been.

Financial Results

The financial results for the 2018 financial year recorded another healthy increase in net profit after tax (2018 $12.744 million: 2017 $9.321 million or 36.7%). This result was another record for the company and just reward for maintaining our strategic focus and has been achieved after making the necessary ongoing investments for future growth. The underlying profit for the year of $12.567million after tax was up 27.4% on the previous year.

As I foreshadowed last year the Board has taken steps to mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations and this resulted in a positive result for the year, after taking into account the cost of hedging the company's exposure.

The Company continued to be cash flow positive with retained cash increasing from $23 million to nearly $25 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 tracking in line with our expectations and are slightly ahead of budget. 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 2018 financial year to 6 cents per share fully franked. This represents an increase of 50% over the previous year and a payout ratio of just below 50%. 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.
