MEDICAL MONITORS LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

Notes for the third Ouarter to March 31, 2004

The Directors recently announced a most important milestone for the Company, in the signing of an MOU with an established USA investment group. Subject to final contractual arrangements, MDM will grant exclusive licensing rights to the investment group for the Americas and the European Union (including the UK), for the Company's ECG and Blood Pressure monitoring technologies. It is anticipated that an ECG monitoring service will be established in these territories, and will include device promotion and sales.

A new USA sales and service company will be incorporated to effect this licensing agreement, and MDM will retain a major ownership through its share-holding $-$ the agreed value of that asset will be in excess of AUD\$13 million (USD\$10 million). MDM will receive a royalty fee based on revenues generated, and management fees for the provision of technical services. MDM will be contracted for the manufacture of the ECG recorders and BPfone® monitors to the new company on an agreed profit margin basis.

Contracts will also include the sale of $3,000$ BPfone® monitors from existing inventory, which will be used in the previously announced blood pressure monitoring program in the UK. The Directors are confident that current advanced negotiations will be completed before June 30, and further significant sales revenue will occur through 2004.

The Directors are also pleased to report that current projects, in the USA, UK and Italy, are nearing the completion of their evaluation phase. A review of the quarterly activities include:

Wellness Monitoring executives have now signed a contract with clinical researchers at the prestigious Johns Hopkins University Hospital, Baltimore, to provide a blood pressure monitoring service for a long term study on US-Asian migrant patients. Johns Hopkins is one of the world's leading health care institutions and one of the most highly rated medical facilities in the USA. A first phase payment of USD \$54,000 (AUD \$73,000) has been received

As previously announced, Medical Monitors' BPfone® blood pressure monitoring program has been chosen as the preferred instrument, in the collection of the blood pressure data for this project. Being involved in multi level monitoring programs with established institutions will provide significant sales opportunity for the BPfone® to be used in the expanding USA clinical research and medical data collection market – estimated at more than US \$5.3 billion in 2001. In the USA, the BPfone® has already been granted FDA clearance for sales and marketing.

In the UK, the Company's senior medical advisor Professor Bryan Williams is a leading British hypertension specialist and the immediate past president of the prestigious British Hypertension Society (BHS). The Society has recently released guidelines in the UK that will influence the way doctors manage patients with a blood pressure problem (hypertension).

The BPfone® has been chosen by Prof Williams to be the monitoring device of choice in undertaking the largest blood pressure monitoring program in the UK. Hypertension is a major risk factor in cardiovascular disease and effects more than 10 million people in the UK alone. The British Government has targeted hypertension as a key healthcare issue requiring better management. Over time, the project under Prof Williams' supervision is expected to have a significant positive impact on the future management of all patients with hypertension in the national health service of the UK, and potentially the rest of the world.

In Italy, Telesalute Monitoring Service, the joint venture (JV) partner, has entered $\blacksquare$ into a sales, marketing and distribution agreement to provide the BP fone $^{\circledast}$ in the Bergamo / Milan region. An initial payment of EURO $\epsilon$ 20,000 (AUD\$33,000) has been received, and it is anticipated that further sales will occur in other centres in Italy.

As previously stated, the JV partner is in ongoing discussion with a number of established research institutions in Italy, as well as a top-tier pharmaceutical company, to expand the program Italy-wide in the near future.

Subsequent events

The Company raised a further \$850,000 through a private placement of shares on 27 April, 2004. The funds will be used as working capital to consolidate the Company's position as a leading provider of remote monitoring products and services in the diagnostic monitoring market.

Importantly, as part of a cost reduction programme and in terms of Clause 26 of the Company's Constitution, the Directors gave notice on 29 April, 2004 to undertake the sale of shares of less than a marketable parcel as defined by the ASX. The effective date for this notice is 4 June, 2004. All shareholders will appreciate that the Company incurs considerable costs to administer shareholdings and in providing Annual Reports, Notices of Meeting, and other information to its Shareholders. In the case of small holdings these expenses often outweigh the value of the shares.

The Directors are confident of the continuing success for the Company's products and services in Australia and in the overseas markets.
