MEDICAL MONITORS LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES

Notes for the Half Year Report to December 31, 2003

The Directors look forward to 2004 and anticipate that current projects nearing the completion of their evaluation phase - in the USA, UK and Italy - will convert to significant sales revenues. This revenue stream will be exclusive of other business opportunities in the Australian and Asian markets

A review of the quarterly activities include:

Executives of Medical Monitors wholly owned USA subsidiary, Wellness Monitoring, are in discussion with clinical researchers at 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..

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. As previously stated, being involved in multi level monitoring programs with established institutions will provide significant sales opportunity for the $BP$ fone $^{\circledR}$ to be used in the expanding USA clinical research and medical data collection market - an estimated market of more than US $5.2 billion in 2001. The BP fone $^{\circledR}$ has already been granted FDA clearance for its sale and marketing in the USA.

  • In Italy, the joint venture $(V)$ with Telesalute Monitoring Service is growing and already provides the BPfone® in the Bergamo / Milan region. The JV partner is in $\blacksquare$ discussion with a number of established research institutions, as well as a top-tier pharmaceutical company, to expand the program Italy-wide. Initial sales have been made, as announced, and it is anticipated that sales will continue from these and other activities in the near future.
  • $\blacksquare$ In the UK, the Company's senior medical advisor, Professor Bryan Williams, has been appointed to the UK Department of Health's Executive Committee on Blood Pressure Monitoring in Clinical Practice. Internationally recognised in the area of hypertension and cardiovascular risk management, Prof Williams is a leading British hypertension specialist, the Professor of Medicine, at Leicester Royal Infirmary and University of Leicester and immediate past president of the prestigious British Hypertension Society.

The BP fone $&$ has been chosen by Prof Williams to be the monitoring device of choice in the largest blood pressure monitoring program to be undertaken in the UK. One of the world's leading international companies, Pfizer Pharmaceutical, has already provided a letter of intent to be one of the sponsors for this significant study.

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a major risk factor in cardiovascular disease. It effects more than 10 million people in the UK alone, and has been targeted by the British Government 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.

$\blacksquare$ The appointment of two new (non-executive) Directors, Neville Buch and Boris Patkin, who have significant local and international business experience, will be invaluable for the global rollout of Medical Monitor's products and services. Importantly, the Directors have reviewed the Company's cost base and believe that an overall reduction of expenses, of at least 30%, can be achieved over the financial year. A number of initiatives have already been implemented, without impacting on current staff numbers.

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