2.6 REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company reported a first half after tax profit of $1.094 million, an increase of 67.5%
compared to the same period last year. This was achieved on revenue of$7.452m which was
largely in line with revenue from the same period in 2011.
First-half profits grew as a result of higher margin sales, operational savings and positive
movements in foreign currency.
During this period the company continued its significant investment in R&D both in Australia
as well as overseas. This has led to a number of enhancements to the existing product lines
as well as significant progress with the company’s new technology RIS platform which went
live at its first site in December 2011.
Promedicus.net, the company's e-health offering, continued to perform well throughout the
period despite increasing competition.
The company’s cash reserves grew to $4.03 million at the end of December 2011, an
increase of over 23%. The company continues to remain debt free.
The Board is of the view that whilst difficult trading conditions in Europe and North America
may provide challenges in the short to medium term, the company is now better placed to
meet these challenges if and when they arise. As a result the company has announced an
interim dividend of .5c per share fully franked.
The company has also announced a share buyback scheme on 13thFebruary 2012 that will
enable the company to buy back up to 10% of its shares over the next twelve months as part
of its capital management strategy.
