The information in this interim report is such that RaySearch must disclose publicly in accordance with the Swedish Securities and Clearing Operating Act and/or the Financial Instruments Trading Act. The information was made public on August 27 at 7.45 am.
The first half of 2010 was an outstanding period for RaySearch. The number of licenses sold more than doubled to 568 and revenues rose 76 percent to SEK 60.9 M, despite the negative impact of currency effects during the period. The volume growth was attributable to the positive reception to all of the new products launched in late 2009, as well as increased sales of the older products during the period. This meant that the first half of 2010 was RaySearch's strongest six-month period to date in terms of revenues, with net profit increasing 41 percent to SEK 17.4 M.
Much of the sales increase derived from the product for VMAT (Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy) that our partner Philips began selling under the SmartArc brand in November 2009. VMAT is an important trend in the market and demand has remained strong. It was also positive to note that sales of older Philips products increased significantly during the period. This was probably because sales of these products are driven by SmartArc sales, since they are a prerequisite for upgrading to SmartArc.
Sales through Nucletron were largely in line with the year-earlier period. Nucletron launched our solution for VMAT along with a product for model-based segmentation in late 2009. Unlike Philips, however, the bulk of Nucletron's sales are carried out in Europe where the introduction of VMAT is progressing at a slower rate than in the US, which means that Nucletron is experiencing lower growth than Philips. During the past few years, Nucletron has implemented a number of improvements to boost its growth in the software segment and we are now in the process of completing new versions of the new products for this company, so the prospects for increased sales through Nucletron are favorable.
Our collaboration with IBA Dosimetry regarding the jointly developed COMPASS® quality assurance system continued to progress favorably. With the system now well-established as one of the most competitive solutions for quality assurance of VMAT treatments, sales rose sharply during the period. We are also working to expand the system to include advanced adaptive functionality, although this feature will now be launched in 2011 and not in 2010 as previously announced.
At the end of April, we restructured our partnership with Varian, the leading supplier of radiation therapy equipment with a very large installed base. We entered into the original agreement in 2007 and launched the first three RaySearch products in 2009, integrated with Varian's Eclipse™ treatment planning system. The new agreement adds an exciting new product and makes it easier to add further products in the future. As a result of the restructuring, the partnership began to generate significant revenues during the second quarter. Varian's sales are now fully under way and the company is receiving numerous orders. Meanwhile, RaySearch is working to further enhance the products, which means that the potential for continued increased sales is considerable.
It is also gratifying to note that our collaborative project with TomoTherapy began generating revenues for RaySearch during the second quarter, when customer deliveries of the company's new SharePlan™ product commenced. Accordingly, all of RaySearch's partnerships are now generating revenues, with the exception of the collaboration project with Siemens, which was initiated in May 2009. Under the terms of the agreement with Siemens, RaySearch will provide a number of treatment planning modules for advanced radiation therapy. We are now working hard to complete the integration of the modules into Siemens' syngo® Suite for Oncology, an integrated platform for workflow management in radiation therapy clinics. The project is proceeding well and the collaboration is expected to start generating revenues for RaySearch during 2010.
We continued the intense development of our system for treatment planning of proton therapy. The proton system is integrated with RaySearch's proprietary treatment planning system RayStation®. Proton therapy is one of the most advanced forms of radiation therapy and will be a key area for RaySearch in the future. Our first customer in the proton therapy area is the German clinic WPE in Essen and a clinical release for them is planned in 2010 with final delivery in 2011. In this segment, we are also participating with Nucletron in the procurement process for a treatment planning system for
the Skandion Clinic, a new proton center that will be built in Sweden. The process is expected to be concluded in 2010.
In addition to these projects, we are also updating our existing products and product development pace is very intense. This has decreased the available resources for long-term research. In order for RaySearch to further strengthen its position as the leading development company for advanced software used in radiation therapy, we have recruited some ten additional system developers. They are now assuming their new positions and this will free up capacity for research. We are also working intensively on business development. We are discussing the expansion of several of our partnership agreements and have several new, highly interesting solutions under development.
As a complement to our existing partner-based business model, we are continuing to seek clinical collaborations where we offer RayStation® directly to a few selected leading research-intensive clinics. WPE is a good example of such a clinic. The company achieved an important milestone during the period when it received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for RayStation®. This means that RaySearch can now market RayStation® in the US and enter into similar collaboration agreements in the region. Accordingly, the company participated as an exhibitor at a major US radiation therapy trade fair held by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) at the end of July. We performed a number of demonstrations and our RayStation® system generated considerable interest. I am convinced that we will soon be able to enter into more collaborative projects of this sort.
Several exciting products will be completed during the year, including our first products for Siemens and our proprietary treatment planning system for delivery to WPE. While many of the new products released at the end of 2009 are already selling well, several continue to offer substantial growth potential. There is also a good chance that we could enter into a new agreement regarding RayStation® directly with a clinic during the year. On June 19 we celebrated RaySearch's tenth birthday and I am pleased to be able to say that the company is currently doing better than ever.
Stockholm, August 27, 2010
Johan Löf President and CEO RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ)
In April, the license agreement with Varian Medical Systems was restructured to add one new product, strengthen the collaborative product development efforts and make it easier to add new capabilities and features to Varian's Eclipse™ treatment planning system in the future. The original agreement was signed in May 2007 and three products from RaySearch have been integrated into Eclipse to date. These are tools for radiobiological evaluation, radiobiological optimization, and optimization of conventional 3D-CRT.
During the second quarter of 2010, sales rose 85.3 percent compared with the year-earlier to SEK 32.8 M (17.7). Operating profit improved during the quarter to SEK 12.5 M (6.8), corresponding to an operating margin of 38.1 percent (38.1). Profit after tax for the second quarter amounted to SEK 9.1 M (5.0). The main reason for the sharp sales increase was that the new product in the collaborative project with Philips and the new products in the collaborative project with Varian that began to generate revenues in late 2009. License sales of older products sold via Philips were also significantly higher than in the relatively weak second quarter of 2009. The collaborative project with TomoTherapy also began generating revenues during the second quarter.
During the first six months of 2010, total sales rose 75.5 percent compared with the year-earlier period to SEK 60.9 M (34.7). Sales primarily consist of license revenues via partners and support revenues. The number of licenses sold via partners amounted to 568 (258) and license revenues for the first half of 2010 to SEK 51.0 M (22.1). The main reason for the increase in license revenues was that the new products via Philips, Nucletron and Varian started generating revenues at the end of 2009. License sales were also impacted positively by increased volumes of older products sold via Philips and IBA Dosimetry. Sales were affected adversely by a 20.8-percent decline in support revenues to SEK 9.9 M (12.5) during the first six months of 2010. Since support revenues are based on accumulated license sales, they generally increase continuously. However, support revenues from RaySearch's first product, p-RayOptimizer, began to decline as of the second quarter of 2009 since the product, which has been on the market since 2001, now requires less maintenance.
The company is dependent on trends in the USD and EUR exchange rates in relation to SEK, since invoicing is conducted in USD and EUR. During the first half of 2010, revenues in USD were reported at an average exchange rate of SEK 7.37, compared with SEK 8.20 during the corresponding period in 2009. In the first six months of 2010, revenues in EUR were recognized at an average exchange rate of SEK 9.69, compared with SEK 10.78 during the year-earlier period. Accordingly, exchange rates had an adverse impact on sales during the first half of the year. With unchanged exchange rates, sales would have increased by 95.5 percent compared with the corresponding period in 2009. A sensitivity analysis of currency exposure shows that a change in the USD exchange rate of +/- 10 percent would have impacted operating profit for the first six months of 2010 by +/- SEK 4.9 M and that the corresponding effect of a change in the average EUR exchange rate of +/- 10 percent would have been SEK +/- 1.1 M. The company pursues the currency policy set by the Board of Directors.
Operating profit for the first half of 2010 totaled SEK 23.8 M (16.6), corresponding to an operating margin of 39.0 percent (47.9). Operating expenses, excluding exchange-rate gains and losses, increased SEK 20.0 M compared with the year-earlier period to SEK 37.0 M. Other operating income and other operating expenses derived from exchange-rate gains and losses, with the net of these amounting to an expense of SEK -0.1 M (0.0) for the first half of 2010. The increase in operating expenses was mainly attributable to higher research and development costs, with amortization of capitalized development costs accounting for the largest increase. In 2010, RaySearch allocates SEK 2.4 M (including applicable taxes) to a profit-sharing foundation regarding the profit for 2009. After the AGM approved the dividend the entire cost for this allocation was charged during the second quarter. For more information regarding the profit –sharing foundation, refer to page 46 of the 2009 Annual Report.
As of June 30, 2010, 56 (45) employees were engaged in research and development. Research and development costs include payroll costs, consulting fees, computer equipment and premises. Research and development costs before capitalization and amortization of development costs amounted to SEK 35.8 M (27.4). During the first six months of 2010, capitalized development costs totaled SEK 22.9 M (20.8). Amortization of capitalized development costs during the first six months of 2010 amounted to SEK 13.2 M (3.4). The reason for the increase during the period was that the company began amortizing capitalized development costs for its products during the third and fourth quarters of 2009
as installations of the new products in clinics commenced. Research and development costs after adjustments for capitalization and amortization of development costs totaled SEK 26.1 M (10.0).
Amortization of intangible assets during the first half of 2010 amounted to SEK 13.2 M (3.4) and depreciation of tangible assets to SEK 0.2 M (0.1). Total amortization and depreciation during the first six months of the year amounted to SEK 13.4 M (3.5). Amortization and depreciation pertained primarily to capitalized development costs.
Profit after tax during the first half-year amounted to SEK 17.4 M (12.3), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 0.51 (0.36).
Most of RaySearch's existing customers operate in the US. It is worth noting that the proportion of license revenues that derive from North America increased during the period after having declined in the year-earlier period. Revenues from installed licenses for the first half of 2010 were distributed as follows: North America 51 percent (28), Asia 23 percent (23), Europe and the rest of the world 26 percent (49).
Cash flow from operating activities during the first six months of 2010 totaled SEK 43.1 M (22.4), which was primarily due to improved earnings. Total cash flow during the first half-year amounted to SEK 2.1 M (1.7). The reason for the smaller increase in total cash flow was that dividends of SEK 17.0 M were paid out during the period, while no dividends were paid in 2009. Cash flow from investing activities declined to a negative SEK 24.1 M (neg: 20.6) due to higher development expenditure.
As of June 30, 2010, cash and cash equivalents totaled SEK 82.1 M, compared with SEK 72.4 M on June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2010, current receivables amounted to SEK 27.5 M, compared with SEK 21.7 M as of June 30, 2009. The current receivables mainly consist of accounts receivable that increased sharply due to the substantial sales growth in recent quarters. RaySearch has no interest-bearing liabilities.
Fixed assets primarily comprise capitalized development costs. Investments in intangible fixed assets during the first half of 2010 amounted to SEK 23.0 M (20.8) M and investments in tangible fixed assets to SEK 1.7 M (0.4).
At the end of the first six months of the year, the number of RaySearch employees was 62 (49). The average number of employees during the period January-June 2010 was 61 (50).
Since the financial reporting of the Parent Company corresponds in all material respects to the financial reporting of the Group, the comments for the Group are also largely relevant for the Parent Company. Capitalization of development costs is recognized in the Group, but not in the Parent Company.

This condensed interim report for the Group was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the Parent Company was prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, Chapter 9 Interim Reports. The accounting policies and basis of calculation applied for the Group and the Parent Company were the same as those applied in the most recent Annual Report.
New or revised IFRS introduced in 2010 did not impact RaySearch.
As RaySearch's operations comprise one segment no segment report has been prepared.
RaySearch's financial policy governing the management of financial risks was established by the Board of Directors and represents a framework of guidelines and rules in the form of risk mandates and limits for financial activities. RaySearch is primarily affected by exchange-rate risk. All of RaySearch's net sales are in USD or EUR. In accordance with the established financial policy, no currency hedging is employed. The financial policy is updated at least once annually.
As a result of its activities, RaySearch is exposed to various operational risks, including the following: dependency on key persons, competition and strategic partnerships. RaySearch currently has partnerships with Philips, Varian, Siemens, Nucletron, IBA Dosimetry and TomoTherapy. RaySearch also has several research partnerships. If RaySearch were to lose one or more of these partners, this could have a major impact on the company's sales, profit and financial position. This risk decreases as the number of partners increases. RaySearch engages in continuous discussions with a number of medical technology companies in respect of new collaborations.
For more detailed information about RaySearch's financial risk management and operational risks, refer to page 48 of the 2009 Annual Report.
No transactions between RaySearch and related parties materially affected the company's position and earnings.
Preparation of the six-month report requires that company management makes estimates that affect the recognized amounts for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The actual outcome could deviate from these estimates. The critical sources of uncertainty in the estimates are the same as those in the most recent Annual Report.
This six-month report was subject to review by the company's auditor. The review report is available on page 14.
The Board of Directors and President affirm that the six-month report provides a fair view of the Group's and the Parent Company's operations, financial position and profit and describes the significant risks and uncertainties facing the Parent Company and the companies included in the Group.

To the Board of RaySearch Laboratories AB Corporate Registration Number 556322-6157
I have reviewed the attached six-month report for RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ) for the period January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation of this six-month report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. My responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial information based on my review.
I conducted my review in accordance with the Swedish standard for such reviews, (SÖG) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Company. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially more limited in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden (RS) and good auditing practice in general. The measures taken during a review do not enable me to obtain assurance that I would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Thus, the conclusion expressed on the basis of a review does not offer the same degree of assurance as a conclusion based on an audit.
Based on my review, nothing has come to my attention that causes me to believe that the attached sixmonth report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the Group and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the Parent Company.
