MEDICAL MONITORS LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
Notes for the Ouarterly Report to June 30, 2003
The Company is pleased to announce that it has achieved a number of significant milestones over the past quarter. In particular, it has completed a number of first phase sales with top tier international pharmaceutical companies, for Medical Monitors' product and services.
Sales revenue increased over the quarter to $394,000, with almost $1,000,000 of revenue received over the financial year. This represents a significant turnaround for the Company from the previous year, and the Directors expect the Company to be in a 'cash positive' position in the coming months. Recent ASX releases have highlighted further significant sales revenue opportunities for the Company, in Australia and overseas.
The Company has significantly rationalised its cost base and further improvements continue to be made. The payments associated with the products and services were close to budget over the quarter. A recent private placement of shares raised a further $325,000 for working capital. Anticipated progressive sales revenue could amount to more than $5 million from all activities over the next 12 months, if current opportunities are successfully concluded.
A review of the quarterly activities includes:
-
US-based pharmaceutical company Biovail Pharmaceuticals has commenced a hypertension study using the BPfone™ monitor to evaluate their blood pressure drug in the USA. As previously stated, multi-level 'drug evaluation trials' will provide significant sales opportunities for the BPfoneTM.
-
$\blacksquare$ The Company has been given FDA approval for the PER cardiac rhythm monitor -Medical Monitors' portable ECG recorder – to be sold and marketed in the USA. The ECG monitoring market in the USA is highly profitable and is estimated to generate in excess of USD$150 million per year. According to Frost & Sullivan $(2003)$ , products used for cardiac investigation, such as the PER, account for about 16 percent of the total medical devices market. The cardiology devices market is expected to grow at a rate of 14 percent over the next 5 years.
-
Professor Bryan Williams, a leading British and international hypertension specialist, $\blacksquare$ has accepted an appointment as medical advisor to Medical Monitors. Professor Bryan Williams will provide counsel and expertise on hypertension management in the UK National Health Service, as well as with the pharmaceutical and medical industry.
-
In conjunction with Professor Williams, Medical Monitors is launching the world's $\blacksquare$ largest hypertension (high blood pressure) program in the United Kingdom (UK), based on the BPfoneTM and monitoring service. The program will see 1,000 GPs initially participating in the program and will then be extended nationally to 10,000 GPs over a six-month period, with 50,000 patients managed within the first 18 months. It is anticipated that revenue from these activities will be generated through sponsorship by major pharmaceutical companies.
-
The Telesalute Monitoring Service has commenced its operation in Italy with the $\blacksquare$ BPfoneTM. Initial sales have been in association with a top-tier pharmaceutical company to evaluate a blood pressure management program. It is expected that subsequent sales revenues will be generated after the evaluation phase.
-
The Company has recently initiated the $660,000 'line of credit', provided through Provident Capital, for inventory costs. This will allow for more efficient use of working capital and provide the Company with the necessary funding to build its inventory base in order to meet expected BPfoneTM demand.
The Directors are very confident of the continuing success for the Company's products and services. The increasing sales revenues, anticipated over the coming months, will provide a sound base for the Company to expand its current sales and marketing programs in Australia and overseas.
