REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company reported a first half after tax profit of $0.653 million, a decrease of 47.2% on the December 2009 reported result. This was based on total revenue of $7.569m which decreased by 11.1% compared with the comparable prior period. The decrease in revenue is reflective of a decline in major new sales made during the period.
First-half profits were also lower primarily due to the strong Australian dollar, significant R&D costs and the effects of slower than expected spending in overseas markets, particularly the US. During this period the company experienced substantial start up costs relating to the introduction of new technology at several reference sites in Australia without seeing the upside through increased sales.
With operational reference sites having been established, Pro Medicus anticipates sales growth to increase as these new innovative products are available to the market.
Pro Medicus continues to invest in new product development and will release its new RIS technology in February 2011
Promedicus.net, the company's e-health offering, continued to perform well throughout the period.
The company has cash reserves, as at the end of December of $3.1 million and continues to remain debt free.
The Board is of the view that at the current stage of development and roll out of new technology it is prudent to place priority on conservation of its cash reserves. It has consequently decided not to pay an interim dividend and will review the position at year's end.

Notes to the Financial Statements
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010
1. Corporate Information The condensed half-year report of Pro Medicus Limited (the Company) for the half-year ended 31 December 2010 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 24 February 2011. Pro Medicus Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian stock exchange. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Company are described in note 2.
BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES The condensed 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 condensed half-year financial report be read in conjunction with the annual Financial Report of Pro Medicus Limited for the year ended 30 June 2010. It is also recommended that the half-year financial report be considered together with any public announcements made by Pro Medicus Limited during the half-year ended 31 December 2010 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX listing rules. (a) Basis of Preparation The condensed half-year report is a general-purpose financial report, prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and, AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. For the purpose of preparing the condensed half-year report, the half-year has been treated as a discrete reporting period. (b) Significant accounting policies Apart from the changes in accounting policy noted below, accounting policies and methods of computation are the same as those adopted in the most recent annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2010. (c) Changes in accounting policy The following amending standards have been adopted from 1 January 2011. Adoption of these standards did not have any effect on the financial position or performance of the Group. ▪ AASB 5 Non Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations: clarifies that the disclosures required in respect of non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale or discontinued operations are only those set out in AASB 5. The disclosure requirements of other Accounting Standards only apply if specifically required for such non-current assets or discontinued operations. ▪ AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows: States that only expenditure that results in recognising as asset can be classified as a cash flow from investing activities. ▪ AASB 136 Impairment of Assets: The amendment clarifies that the largest unit permitted for allocating goodwill, acquired in a business combination, is the operating segment as defined in AASB 8 before aggregation for reporting purposes. The amendment has no impact on the Group as the annual impairment test is performed before aggregation. ▪ AASB Interpretation 17 Distribution of Non-cash Assets to Owners: This interpretation provides guidance on accounting for arrangements whereby an entity distributes non-cash assets to shareholders either as a distribution of reserves or as dividends. The interpretation has no effect on either, the financial position or the performance of the Group. The Group has not elected to early adopt any other new Standards or amendments that are issued but not yet effective.

Notes to the Financial Statements
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010
2. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the executive management team (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
The operating segments are identified by management based on country of origin. Discrete financial information is reported to the executive management team on at least a monthly basis.
The reportable segments are based on aggregated operating segments determined by the similarity of the products produced and sold and the services provided, as these are the sources of the Group's major risk and have the most effect on the rates of return.
Types of products and services
The Group produces integrated software applications for the health care industry. In addition the Group provides services in the form of installation and support.
Accounting policies and inter-segment transactions
The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments internally is the same as those contained in note 1 to the accounts and in prior periods except as detailed below:
Inter-entity Sales
Inter-entity sales are recognised based on an internally set transfer price. The price aims to reflect what the business operation could achieve if they sold their output and services to external parties at arm's length.

To the members of Pro Medicus Limited
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Pro Medicus Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2010, 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, other selected explanatory notes 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 [period date] 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 Pro Medicus 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 Pro Medicus 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 2010 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 .
