CHAIRMAN AND MANAGING DIRECTOR'S REPORT
The past year has been a landmark year with several major commercialisation milestones achieved. The Company has completed a number of significant sales with major international pharmaceutical companies, in Australia, the USA and the UK, for its unique range of home based monitoring products and services.
The Company has also invested significant resources in the overseas markets in order to establish relationships with the key medical opinion leaders and clinical researchers. These have led to the BPfone™ being recognised as a superior tool for conducting clinical trial programs, several of which are now being commenced in the UK and USA.
Australian Activities
The Australian market has experienced growth in several areas. Firstly, several large sales of BPfones to the pharmaceutical industry have been concluded. These companies are distributing BPfones to General Practitioners nationwide. The BPfone is now well established among Australian GPs, with over 8,000 patients having had their blood pressure monitored through the service over the last year.
The successful implementation of the BPfone programs with the pharmaceutical companies has resulted in their ongoing commitment to the monitoring program. This will result in further sales of BPfones as these services are expanded.
The service contracts with the pharmaceutical companies require renewal annually. This year saw the Company's first renewal for another year of monitoring service. This underlines a commitment from the pharmaceutical company to an ongoing program. Further renewals are expected in the coming year from the other contracts.
Another key achievement was an endorsement by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), recognising the clinical usefulness of the BPfone program. This endorsement allows the Company to provide specific educational programs for GPs about blood pressure management. Australia's 23,000 GPs are required to participate in continuing medical education to remain abreast of current medical knowledge and to comply with professional registration.
The Company generated interest in the medical community with the release of a retrospective survey measuring the effectiveness of blood pressure treatment. It was found that only 25% of patients taking blood pressure therapy achieved normal blood pressures. This finding surprised many participating doctors, emphasising the need for the BPfone program for accurate long-term blood pressure monitoring.
United States
The US market is the largest in the world for blood pressure and the Company has achieved a number of key goals towards establishing a presence there. We are pursuing several market segments, each of which have the potential to establish the BPfone service as a leading provider of blood pressure monitoring. These market segments are clinical trials, pharmaceutical companies and home healthcare.
The BPfone was chosen to be the cornerstone of a major US clinical trial of a new class of blood pressure medication. The BPfone was chosen for its ability to accurately measure blood pressure and transmit the measurements over a standard telephone. This dramatically reduces the cost of conducting a trial and therefore allows the study to include many more patients. This current trial will involve 10,000 patients, each of whom will require their own BPfone. The first phase of the study involves refining the protocol and procedure and is now well under way. The major phase of the trial is expected to commence in the $1st$ quarter of 2004.
The clinical trials segment is an exciting area and one which the Company views as a major priority. The US pharmaceutical industry spends more than US\$165 million each year on blood pressure trials alone. It is estimated that there are currently 31 drugs in the development pipeline for blood pressure.
In the pharmaceutical company market segment, relationships with the major companies have been established and are now progressing to refining proposals. These proposals encompass the provision of nationwide clinical and marketing programs designed to be implemented by their large sales forces. This mode of marketing is increasingly successful and the BPfone
service is well positioned to take advantage of the budgeted expenditure of such programs. A number of these programs are anticipated to be launched by the middle of 2004.
Our partners at TSI, in Chicago, have introduced Medical Monitors products and services to a number of major healthcare providers in the USA. Typically, these companies provide health care and risk reduction programs for health insurance companies (HMOs) and large employer groups. It is anticipated that Medical Monitors' blood pressure monitoring products and services can offer significant enhancements to this segment.
Enhancing the Company's market offering in the home healthcare segment, is the PER heart monitor. The PER heart monitor received clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for marketing and sales. The Company is looking to establish a heart monitoring service similar to that currently operating as the HEARTLINE * Monitoring Service in Australia.
United Kingdom
The Company recently announced the appointment of Prof. Bryan Williams in the UK, as medical advisor to Medical Monitors Limited. Prof. Williams is a distinguished international medical expert on blood pressure management, is the current President of the British Hypertension Society and a member of the European Society for Hypertension and is involved in research with the international pharmaceutical industry. Prof. Williams' appointment is another indication of the recognition that the Company is receiving from the international medical community, particularly for its BPfoneTM blood pressure monitoring system.
Subsequent to this announcement, the Company has joined with Prof. Williams to launch the world's largest hypertension management program. It is intended that more than 50,000 patients will be monitored and treated over the first 18 months. This program will identify the most effective medications for each patient and enable doctors to better manage their patients with high blood pressure. It is estimated that about 12 million people suffer from high blood pressure in the UK, yet only 9% of those taking treatment achieve normal blood pressure.
Leading pharmaceutical companies were approached to sponsor the program and several are now finalising their commitment to developing a long term relationship with the service and the potential to expand the service to other key European markets.
Revenue and Expenses
Overall revenue from ordinary activities was up by 164%, and losses down by 18%, when compared to the previous year. As announced to the market, a number of large scale projects, with top tier pharmaceutical companies in the UK and USA, are expected to provide for ongoing and significant sales revenue in FY 2003/2004.
Operating expenses have been markedly reduced in the USA in relocating the wholly owned subsidiary Wellness Monitoring to San Jose, and with the consolidation of staffing levels, wages and general expenses. Other monitoring service partners, such as Telesalute in Italy, have utilised local infrastructure arrangements to reduce costs.
Manufacturing agreement of BPfoneTM with European leader Bosch+Sohn
Medical Monitors has maintained its good working relationship with Bosch+Sohn (Boso), a leading European blood pressure instrumentation manufacturer and distributor, to produce the BPfoneTM monitors in commercial quantities for the global market.
The Boso brand enjoys a very high level of recognition for its competence in blood pressure instrumentation, and it is anticipated that Boso will provide monitoring services in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, as well as a distribution channel for the BPfone™ monitor to the rest of Europe.
Shareholder Share Placement Scheme and Private Placement Activities
The successful completion of the Shareholder Share Placement Scheme, in September 2002, and a private placement following approval at the AGM in November, 2002, provided the Company with funds in excess of \$860,000.
As well, the Company highlighted the need for additional working capital for investment in BPfone production and infrastructure, in particular, and to support the successful international roll out of product and services across a number of markets. As a subsequent event, the Company completed a capital raising of more than \$1.3 million, in August 2003, for those working capital and infrastructure requirements.
Importantly, these transactions confirm shareholder and stock market support for the Company's current and future anticipated activities; and, they provide ongoing support for the opportunities that have been created by the Company's unique products and services in Australia and overseas.
Sale of Mining Tenements
As previously stated, final settlement of the remaining mining tenements is expected by end November 2003.
Future Market Opportunities
The Company remains focused on a number of opportunities, particularly within the growing home healthcare sector of North America. We are already established as a significant player in the medical diagnostic services business, and are recognised world-wide by the healthcare profession and the pharmaceutical industry for our leading edge products and services.
As planned, international blood pressure monitoring services are established and operational in the USA, the UK, and more recently in Italy and Malaysia. Revenues from these monitoring services are expected to grow significantly over the coming year.
Finally, we thank the shareholders for their continued support and the Company's employees for their significant input during the year. We believe that the future will consolidate the opportunities that have been created and provide for substantial revenues and sustainable profits.
Yours sincerely
Dr Jerome Goldberg Chairman
Dr Allan Shell Managing Director

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES $\mathbf{1}$ .
$\left( a\right)$ Basis of preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
It has been prepared on the basis of historical costs and except where stated, does not take into account changing money values or fair values of non-current assets.
These accounting policies have been consistently applied by each entity in the consolidated entity and, except where there is a change in accounting policy as set out in Note 2, are consistent with those of the previous year.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The consolidated entity incurred an operating loss of \$3.052 million during the year ended 30 June 2003, which included depreciation and amortisation charges of \$1.316 million, and had a deficiency of net current assets of \$1.053 million. The operating loss represents a reduction of 19% on the previous year's \$3.741 million.
The Directors nevertheless believe that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis for the following reasons:
- The Company has completed initial sales with major pharmaceutical companies during 2003. The Directors are confident that further major sales will be achieved as contemplated in the business plan.
- The Company believes it has sufficient working capital arrangements in place to be able to achieve the objectives as contemplated in the business plan.
- The Company has raised further share capital of \$1,325,000 subsequent to year end as advised to the Australian Stock Exchange on 29th August 2003.
The consolidated entity's ability to generate positive net cash flow in the twelve months from the date of this report, as contemplated in the business plan, is dependent on a number of factors but primarily on its ability to successfully develop both the US and UK / European markets and the continued supply of monitoring devices from the manufacturer on a timely basis.
If the Company is unable to successfully develop the business as contemplated in the business plan, alternative strategies may be employed to either raise additional capital or debt funding, or reduce expenditure through a scale back of the international marketing initiatives.
In the event that the Company does not meet its planned revenue and cashflow targets, or successfully adopts alternative strategies in the period to October 2004, the Company may not be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in the financial report. Accordingly, the going concern basis used in the preparation of the financial report would not be appropriate.
Principles of consolidation $(b)$
Controlled entities
The financial statements of controlled entities are included from the date control commences until the date control ceases. Outside interests in the equity and results of the entities that are controlled by the Company are shown as a separate item in the consolidated financial statements.
Unrealised gains and losses and inter-entity balances resulting from transactions with or between controlled entities are eliminated in full on consolidation.
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) $\mathbf{1}$ .
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
$(c)$ Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognised at fair value of the consideration received net of the amounts of GST.
Revenue from rendering of services
Revenue from rendering of monitoring and diagnostic services is recognised in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract when the stage of the contract can be reliably measured.
Sale of Goods
Revenue from the sale of goods (net of returns, discounts and allowances) is recognised when the consolidated entity has passed control of the goods or other assets to the customer.
Interest Revenue
Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues.
Sale of Non-Current Assets
The gross proceeds of non-current asset sales are included as revenue at the date control of the asset passes to the buyer, usually when an unconditional contract of sale is signed.
The gain or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal and the net proceeds on disposal.
Goods and Services Tax $(d)$
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax ("GST"), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office ("ATO"). In these circumstances GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position.
Items are included in the Statement of Cash Flows are disclosed on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating eash flows.
$(e)$ Foreign Currency
Transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated to Australian currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the dates of the transactions. Amounts receivable and payable in foreign currencies at balance date are translated at the rates of exchange ruling on that date. Exchange differences relating to amounts payable and receivable in foreign currencies are brought to account as exchange gains or losses in the statement of financial performance in the financial year in which the exchange rates change.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
$\mathbf{1}$ . STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
$(e)$ Foreign Currency (continued)
Translation of controlled foreign entities
The assets and liabilities of integrated foreign operations are translated using the temporal method. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Australian currency at rates of exchange current at balance date, while nonmonetary items and revenue and expense items are translated at exchange rates current when the transactions occurred. Exchange differences arising on translation are brought to account in the statement of financial performance.
$(f)$ Income Tax
The consolidated entity adopts the income statement liability method of tax effect accounting. Income tax expense is calculated on operating profit adjusted for permanent differences between taxable and accounting income. The tax effect of timing differences, which arise from items being brought to account in different periods for income tax and accounting purposes, is carried forward in the statement of financial position as a future income tax benefit or a provision for deferred income tax.
Future income tax benefits are not brought to account unless realisation of the asset is assured beyond reasonable doubt. Future income tax benefits relating to tax losses are only brought to account when their realisation is virtually certain. The tax effects of capital losses are not recorded unless realisation is virtually certain.
To the extent that dividends are proposed by controlled entities incorporated overseas, the consolidated entity has provided for withholding tax. A provision is also made for the withholding tax on the balance of unremitted profits that eventually will be remitted to the Company.
$(g)$ Acquisitions of assets
All assets acquired including property, plant and equipment and intangibles other than goodwill are initially recorded at their cost of acquisition at the date of acquisition, being the fair value of the consideration provided plus incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition. When equity instruments are issued as consideration, their market price at the date of acquisition is used as fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity subject to the extent off proceeds received, otherwise expensed.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable are recorded at their preset value, discounted at the rate applicable to the company if a similar borrowing were obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.
The costs of assets constructed or internally generated by the consolidated entity, other than goodwill, include the cost of materials and direct labour. Directly attributable overheads and other incidental cost are also capitalised to the asset.
Expenditure including that on internally generated assets is only recognised as an asset when the entity controls future economic benefits as a result of the costs incurred, it is probable that those future economic benefits will eventuate, and the costs can be measured reliably. Costs attributable to feasibility and alternative approach assessments are expensed as incurred.
Research and development costs
Research and development expenditure is expensed as incurred except to the extent that its recoverability is assured beyond any reasonable doubt, in which case it is deferred.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Subsequent additional costs
Costs incurred on assets subsequent to initial recognition are capitalised when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed performance of the asset will flow to the consolidated entity in future years. Costs that do not meet the criteria for capitalisation are expensed as incurred.
Receivables $(h)$
Trade receivables and other receivables are recorded at amounts due less any provision for doubtful debts. The ability to recover amounts owed to the company are regularly assessed and specific provisions are made if required.
$(i)$ Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost includes direct materials, direct labour, other direct viable costs and allocated production overheads necessary to bring inventories to their present location and condition, based on normal operating capacity of the production facilities.
Manufacturing activities
The cost of manufacturing inventories and work-in-progress are assigned on a first-in, first-out basis. Costs arising from exceptional wastage are expensed as incurred.
Mining activities
The cost of mining inventories is determined using a weighted average basis.
Net realisable value
Net realisable value is determined in the basis of each inventory line's normal selling pattern. Expenses of marketing, selling and distribution to customers are estimated and are deducted to establish net realisable value.
$(i)$ Investments
Investments in controlled entities are carried in the Company's financial statements at the lower of cost and recoverable amount.
$(k)$ Leased assets
Leases under which the company or its controlled entity assume substantiality all the risks and benefits of ownership are classified as finance leases. Other leases are classified as operating leases.
Finance leases
Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and a lease liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments are recorded at the inception of the lease.
Lease liabilities are reduced by repayments of principal. The interest components of the lease payments are expensed. Contingent rentals are expensed as incurred.
Operating leases
Payments made under operating leases are expensed on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased property.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
$(1)$ Exploration & Evaluation Expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditure is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest, and carried forward in the Statement of Financial Position where:
- $(a)$ rights to tenure of the area of interest are current; and
- $(b)$ one of the following conditions is met:
- such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the $(i)$ area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or
- $(ii)$ exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the areas are continuing.
Accumulated expenditure on areas, which have been abandoned, or are considered to be of no value, are written off in the financial period in which such a decision is made.
$(m)$ Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase consideration plus incidental costs over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is amortised over a period of five years on a straight line basis being the estimated useful life of this intangible asset.
$(n)$ Recoverable Amount of Non Current Assets valued on a cost basis
The carrying amounts of non-current assets valued on the cost basis, other than exploration and evaluation expenditure carried forward, are reviewed to determine whether they are in excess of their recoverable amount at balance date. If the carrying amount of a non-current asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to the lower amount. The write-down is expensed in the reporting period in which it occurs.
Current valuations for land and buildings valued on the cost basis are carried out at least once every three years. Where a group of assets working together supports the generation of cash inflows, recoverable amount is assessed in relation to that group of assets.
In assessing recoverable amounts of non-current assets, the relevant cash flows have not been discounted to their present value, except where specifically stated.
Except where specifically stated, non-current assets are recorded at the lower of cost and recoverable amount.
$(0)$ Depreciation and amortisation
Complex assets
The components of major assets that have materially different useful lives, are effectively accounted for as separate assets, and are separately depreciated.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
$\mathbf{1}$ . STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
$(0)$ Depreciation and amortisation (continued)
Useful Lives
All assets, including intangibles, have limited useful lives and are depreciated/amortised using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives, with the exception of carried forward exploration and evaluation expenditure. Finance lease assets are amortised over the term of the relevant lease, or where it is likely the consolidated entity will obtain ownership of the asset, the life of the asset, Assets are depreciated or amortised from the state of acquisition or, in respect of internally constructed assets, from the time an asset is completed and held ready for use.
Amortisation is not charged on costs carried forward in respect of areas of interest in the development phase until the commercial production commences.
Depreciation and amortisation rates and methods are reviewed annually for appropriateness. When changes are made, adjustments are reflected prospectively in current and future periods only. Depreciation and amortisation are expensed, except to the extent that they are included in the carrying amount of another asset as an allocation of production overheads.
The depreciation/amortisation rates used for each class of each class of non-current asset are as follows:
| Property, plant and equipment | $13 - 40%$ |
|---|---|
| Research and development costs | 20% |
| Goodwill | 20% |
| Intellectual property | 10% |
$(p)$ Pavables
Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the consolidated entity becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and/or services.
Employee Entitlements $(q)$
Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave, and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.
Provisions made in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, and other employee entitlements expected to be settled within 12 months, are measured at their nominal values.
Provisions made in respect of other employee entitlements which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the consolidated entity in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.
$(r)$ Provisions
A provision is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability, except where noted below.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
$(s)$ Capital Raising Costs
Costs incurred in relation to the proposed and foreseeable issue of share capital are capitalised as a current asset pending the issue of the shares to which they relate. On issue of these shares the balance of the capitalised share issue costs are recognised in contributed equity.
$(f)$ Employee share and option plans
Where shares or options are issued to employees as remuneration for past services, the difference between fair value of the shares or options issued and the consideration received, if any, from the employee is expensed. The fair value of these shares or options issued is recorded as contributed equity.
Other share or options issued to employees are recorded in contributed equity at the fair value of consideration received if any.
Transaction costs associated with issuing shares and options are recognised in equity subject to the extent of the proceeds received, otherwise expensed. Other administrative costs are expensed.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY $2^{\circ}$
The following changes in accounting policy have arisen from the first time application of revised accounting standards:
Employee benefits - Note 17 $(a)$
The consolidated entity has applied the revised AASB 1028 "Employee Benefits" for the first time from 1 July 2002. The liability for wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave is now calculated using the remuneration rates the Company expects to pay as at each reporting date, not wage and salary rates current at reporting date.
There was no impact on net profit in the current financial year to 30 June 2003 as a result of this change.
$(b)$ Provisions and contingent liabilities
The consolidated entity has applied AASB 1044 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" for the first time from 1 July 2002.
AASB 1044 requires disclosure of contingent liabilities only when the probability of payment is not remote. This has not affected current or prior period disclosures.
There was no impact on net profit for the current financial year to 30 June 2003 as a result of this change.

| Allowable research and development recognised as Future Income Tax |
S 929,267 |
S 1,255,276 |
S 683,633 |
The taxation benefits will only be obtained if:
- the relevant company derives future assessable income of a nature and amount sufficient to enable the benefit to $(i)$ be realised, or the benefit can be utilised ay another company in the consolidated entity in accordance with Division 170 of the Income tax Assessment Act 1997;
- the relevant company and/or consolidated entity continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed $(ii)$ by the law:
- $(iii)$ no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the relevant company and/or consolidated entity in realising the benefit.
The nature of the Company's operations and ownership changed substantially during the year ended 30 June 2002. Accordingly, future income tax benefit not brought to account in the 2003 year excludes unrecognised prior tax benefits on the basis that the Company is unlikely to satisfy the same business or same ownership requirements of the Income Tax Assessment Act.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) 32.
$(b)$ Credit Risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security at the balance date, to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and notes to the financial statements.
The consolidated entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by it.
Net Fair Values $(c)$
Methods and assumptions used in determining net fair value:
For assets and other liabilities, the net fair value approximates their carrying values. No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form, other than listed investments. The consolidated entity has no financial assets where the carrying amount exceeds net fair values at balance date.
The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and in the notes to and forming part of the financial statements.
$(d)$ Financing Arrangements
The Company has arranged a 'line of credit' facility (\$660,000), with Provident Trade Capital Limited, which has been fully drawn to fund inventory manufacture.

Independent audit report to the members of Medical Monitors Limited
Scope
We have audited the financial report of Medical Monitors Limited for the financial vear ended 30 June 2003, consisting of the statements of financial performance, statements of financial position, statements of cash flows, accompanying notes 1 to 37, and the directors' declaration, set out on pages 12 to 39. The financial report includes the consolidated financial statements of the consolidated entity, comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the end of the year or from time to time during the financial year. The Company's directors are responsible for the financial report. We have conducted an independent audit of this financial report in order to express an opinion on it to the members of the Company.
Our audit has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards to provide reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. Our procedures included examination, on a test basis, of evidence supporting the amounts and other disclosures in the financial report, and the evaluation of accounting policies and significant accounting estimates. These procedures have been undertaken to form an opinion whether, in all material respects, the financial report is presented fairly in accordance with Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia and statutory requirements so as to present a view which is consistent with our understanding of the Company's and the consolidated entity's financial position, and performance as represented by the results of their operations and their cash flows. The audit opinion expressed in this report has been formed on the above basis.
Audit opinion
In our opinion, the financial report of Medical Monitors Limited is in accordance with:
- a) the Corporations Act 2001, including:
- i. giving a true and fair view of the Company's and the consolidated entity's financial position as at 30 June 2003 and of their performance for the financial year ended on that date; and
- ii. complying with Accounting Standards in Australia and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and
- b) other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia.
Inherent uncertainty regarding continuation as a going concern
Without qualification to the opinion expressed above, attention is drawn to the following matter. As a result of matters described by the Directors in Note 1(a), there is inherent uncertainty surrounding the ability of the Company and the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern and therefore realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
Should the Company and the consolidated entity be unable to achieve the objectives referred to in Note 1(a), the Company and the consolidated entity may not be able to realise the full value of their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
