Operating Results

This compares to a net loss of $1,596,755 for the same period in 2002.
Review of Operations
Over the past half year the Company has continued with a number of cost reduction strategies in consolidating its operations, both in Australia and overseas. Importantly, this has occurred without staffing reductions within our highly qualified specialist team.
Significantly, a number of projects have been undertaken that have progressed Medical Monitors' technology and services in the international markets. These include:
- Italy, where our JV partner with the Telesalute Monitoring Service has advanced discussions with research and $\bullet$ other interested pharmaceutical companies, for blood pressure monitoring programmes in Europe. Initial sale of BP fone# blood pressure monitors has already been booked.
- Wellness Monitoring, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary in the USA, has completed a submission to utilise the $\bullet$ $BP$ fone $#$ blood pressure monitor and service, for a long term blood pressure monitoring programme through the prestigious Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore. As previously stated, this study has the potential to provide new business opportunities, for sales of BPfone* monitors, to evaluate new therapies on behalf of other major CRO's associated with this University and other institutions.
- Wellness Monitoring, also continues its evaluation programme with a major US-based pharmaceutical company using the BP fone* monitors. This trial is monitoring patients to evaluate the effects of a specific drug for hypertension. Further sales are antic ipated from this project.
- As announced, the Company has appointed Prof. Bryan Williams as the senior medical advisor in the UK for an anticipated large scale blood pressure monitoring programme. A new facility has been established in Leicester, England, to undertake this and similar projects, which may ultimately flow into a UK-wide programme within the National Health Service. A number of international pharmaceutical companies been approached to sponsor this important project. Pfizer Pharmaceuticals has provided a letter intent to be one of the first major pharmaceutical companies to participate.
In Australia, three major pharmaceutical companies continue with their evaluation programmes with the $\bullet$ BP fone* blood pressure monitor and service, for use in general practice based blood pressure management programmes.
Subsequent Events
In February, 2004, the Company received an initial payment of USD$54,000 for providing a blood pressure monitoring service for a clinical programme at the prestigious Johns Hopkins University.

Additional notes to Appendix 4D
1 Subsequent Events
In the USA, first phase payment of USD $54,000 (AUD $70,000) has been received for a specific blood pressure monitoring programme, at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. In Italy, further sales of BP fone units have occurred, to the Telesalute monitoring service, with Euro 10.000 (AUD $16.500) received.
$\overline{2}$ Basis of accounts preparation
a) Basis of preparation of the half-vear financial report
The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standard AASB 1029 "Interim Financial Reporting", the recognition and measurement requirements of applicable AASB standards, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. This half-year financial report is to be read in conjunction with the 30 June 2003 Annual Financial Report and any public announcements by Medical Monitors Limited and its controlled entities during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure obligations arising under 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 are consistent with those applied in the 30 June 2003 Annual Financial Report.
The half-year report does not include full note disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report.
Going concern ħ)
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 $2,162,706 during the half-year ended 31 December 2003, including an amortisation charge for Intellectual Property and Goodwill of $728.400, and had a deficiency of net current assets of $522,898.
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 developed a suite of products, including the PER ECG recorder and the BPfone* blood pressure monitor and receiving software system. The commercialisation of these products is currently being pursued through several channels, including the development of significant strategic alliances with key interest groups in both the UK/Europe and the USA.
- The directors have assessed the potential market for the company's products and are confident that strong commercial opportunities exist in the medium term. Initial sales of the
company's product have been completed and feedback received from customers and alliance partners supports the director's assessment of market potential.
The directors have completed a review of operating expenditure and have taken measures $\blacksquare$ steps to immediately reduce operating costs. The company's strategy also include the raising of additional capital, if required, to fund ongoing research and development opportunities; and, to provide working capital to fund the company's operations during this commercialisation phase.
The consolidated entity's ability to generate positive operating 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 USA and UK/European markets and the continued supply of monitoring devices from the manufacturer on a timely basis.
In the event that the consolidated entity does not meet its planned revenue and cash-flow targets and is unable to raise further capital or adopt alternate strategies in the twelve months from the date of this report, the consolidated entity may not be able to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in financial report. Accordingly, the going concern basis used in the preparation of the financial report would not be appropriate.
