Chairman's Report

 

I am extremely pleased to announce that our Group continues to grow and evolve as a global supplier of medical equipment.

 

The Group's revenue rose to a record £15.5 million for the year ended 31st January 2018 ("2018") (2017: £14.3 million) representing a rise of 8% over the previous year.

 

This is the second full year as an enlarged Group on the Alternative Investment Market and shows the progress made as the Group thrives and continues to invest in its staff and infrastructure as revenues increase.  Having discontinued the acquired Inditherm Industrial business when the factory was closed at the end of January 2017, we are now fully focussed as a medical device company.

 

Revenue growth was in line with expectations and was achieved both internationally and domestically, and we are encouraged that the NHS continues to choose our products ahead of our competitors.  We have had particularly good growth of our Critical Care products in Europe.

 

As we have previously indicated, we expected our revenue to grow and our profits to remain at similar levels to last year as we invest in our business.  Our Operating Profit was in line with our expectations at £1.2 million (2017: £1.2million) with EBITDA1 improving by 6% from £1.4 million to £1.5 million.  We will continue to invest in the areas of our business that fundamentally underpin our strategies for growth as we believe this is the best use of resources at this stage of the Group's development.  Underlying diluted Earnings per Share ("EPS")2 is up 3% to 3.5 pence per share.

 

We have made significant progress in relation to the regulatory changes that are happening within the medical device industry.  Last year, I mentioned that regulatory requirements are becoming more stringent in our industry and rightly so - medical devices need to be fundamentally safe as well as effective. The tightening of these regulations has led to some delays in new products coming to market. However, with the investment we have made in our people and across the business, we now have a more robust business management system to allow us to develop and launch new products which are compliant with the new regulatory requirements. We are in a strong position to benefit from this investment over the next two to three years.

 

In March we were pleased to be able to have Henry Smith MP open our new corporate head office in Crawley.  The new 4,800 sq ft facility has improved areas for R&D and meeting space for customers and is close to Gatwick airport allowing for easy access for customers, suppliers and staff. 

 

Employees

 

Yet again we are indebted to our staff who have made a significant contribution in a year of great challenge and immense change.  To maintain revenue growth, as the Group has continued to invest and challenge its internal processes, is testament to the fantastic people we have in the Group.  It is very difficult to grow a business without losing the ethos of the Group, but I am delighted to say that every one of the staff I have personally met is completely behind our corporate philosophy of putting the patient first.  The drive to improve outcomes for patients is inherent in all our staff and it continues to propel our business forward.

 

We have attracted high calibre staff to join our team over the past year and we are seeing the benefits of this as we change the business processes to align with the new Regulatory and Quality Systems that we have to adhere to and to our plans for future growth.

 

Given the changes within the business I would like to give, on behalf of the entire Board, my sincere thanks to all our employees for their dedication throughout the year.

 

Outlook

 

At the end of the year we obtained market approval in the European Union for some exciting new products and we expect them to gain traction in their markets over the next couple of years.  Some of these innovative and disruptive technologies may take longer to fully penetrate the market as an evidence base is created for their clinical impact. The early signs of acceptance are very good and give us an indication of their potential contribution to the success of the Group in the future.

 

Last year we continued to invest in our business and its core competencies, including increasing our R&D spend by over 40% to approximately 6% of revenue.  We intend to continue to invest in R&D and regulatory expertise as we believe that this will stand us in good stead going forward to create market ready products more efficiently.  We are evaluating the method and timing for us to penetrate the US market once our product offerings have gained clearance from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).

 

The impact of Brexit, as with most companies, remains to be fully understood.  Based upon general practice around the world we believe our products are unlikely to incur any trade tariffs, but clearly changes in import and export

documentation and logistics could increase costs. We will continually monitor this and develop plans for our business as the situation clarifies.

 

As previously described the tougher regulatory environment will again slow the process of product launches however, as the year unfolds, we increasingly expect to turn this challenge into a competitive advantage. We expect to continue our growth trend in the coming year, although it will again be characterised by investment in product development and strengthening of our resources, enabling us to move through the next stages of expansion.

 

We are optimistic about the potential for our business over the next few years and, accordingly, plan to reinvest the growth in profits to benefit future years.

 

The underlying strength of the business is starting to show through improving EBITDA and we expect to show some progress in the coming year.  In future years, as new products are launched we anticipate a favourable impact on margins.

Operating and Financial Review

 

Our revenue grew by 8% during the year ended 31 January 2018 ("2018") to £15.5 million with good growth being achieved both domestically and internationally. Excluding revenue from the discontinued industrial business in 2017, the growth in 2018 was 9%.

 

Underlying EBITDA1 increased by 6% to £1.5 million (2017: £1.4 million). Operating profit was £1.20 million (2017: £1.16 million, before exceptional items) up 4% and marginally ahead of expectations. Operating margin for 2018 was 7.8%, slightly down on prior year (2017: 8.1%) as anticipated. Profit after tax was £1.2 million, up £0.9 million on 2017.  Undiluted EPS was 4.0p per share (2017: 1.0p).  Underlying diluted EPS2 was up 3% to 3.5p per share (2017: 3.4p).

 

Revenue

The overall performance of the Group was in line with expectations at £15.5 million up from £14.3 million in 2017.

 

In a year where the launch of in-house developed products was delayed due to increased regulatory requirements, it is pleasing to be able to deliver an 8% growth in revenue, with our sales resources focusing on the existing product portfolio. As previously reported, revenues were weighted towards the second half ("H2") with the first half ("H1") slightly up on H1 2017, whereas H2 revenues grew by 15%.

 

International revenue growth was 14%, partially boosted by exchange rate movements, with particularly strong growth in Europe and the Middle East. Domestic revenue growth was stronger than anticipated, being 6% up year on year, with sales of capital items within the Distributed product range performing well in the second half.

 

Critical Care

£11.1 million, +11% year on year

 

Our Critical Care sector grew strongly with Domestic revenue increasing by 4% and international revenue up 29%. The Domestic market is particularly important to us in our distribution model, but in the longer term the real growth will be attained internationally from our Inspiration Branded products. During this financial year we had good performances in both Europe and the Middle East. Revenue from our Technical Support is included within this sector and rose 3% year on year.

 

Operating Theatre

£1.7 million, -11% year on year

 

Our Operating Theatre business includes our own brand of surgical warming products. Revenue in this sector showed an anticipated reduction whilst we develop the product offerings around our upgraded patient warming system (which has been delayed due to the regulatory issues referred to above).  Once regulatory clearance for the new products is obtained we expect to build the customer base and long-term revenue as the products are promoted globally.

 

Home Healthcare

£2.7 million, +12% year on year

 

Our parenteral feeding product range continues to perform well and we are pleased with the mix between capital and revenue items in this sector.  In 2017 we reported Industrial products revenues of £0.1 million in this sector, which we have now discontinued.

 

 

 

 

1 Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and share based payments

2 EPS before significant prior year tax recoveries in 2018 and for 2017, before exceptional items

Gross Profit

Gross Profit at £6.8 million increased by 7% (2017: £6.4 million) with gross margin at 44%, broadly unchanged from the prior year.  Revenue from Distributed products, which typically generate lower gross margins than our Inspiration Branded products, increased slightly to 42% of revenue (2017: 41%) or £6.5 million. Whilst growing by 7% to £6.9 million Inspiration Branded products were broadly the same at 45% of revenue with new product launches delayed for the reasons outlined above. Adverse exchange rate movements between Sterling and the Euro slightly reduced the gross margin on Distributed products.

 

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased year on year by £0.4 million or 7% to £5.6 million (2017: £5.2 million, excluding exceptional items), primarily due to additional investment in the management team as well as regulatory resources.

 

Exceptional Items

The Group had no exceptional items in 2018. The exceptional items reported in 2017 consist of £0.1 million of severance costs following the change of Group Finance Director and £0.6 million for the closure of the Rotherham facility and associated impacts.

 

Operating Profit

At £1.2 million Operating Profit was 4% above prior year with higher gross profit generated from the revenue growth offsetting the increased overhead investment.

 

Taxation

The Group has recorded an income tax credit of £21,000 (2017: £132,000 expense). This is net of tax credits for 2017 and 2016 amounting to £183,000 arising from revised computations. For more detail see note 3.

 

Earnings Per Share

EPS as reported was 4.0p per share (basic and diluted). Underlying diluted EPS was 3.5p per share, up 3% on 2017.

 

Cashflow

Cash and cash equivalents as at 31 January 2018 amounted to £2.1 million, down by £0.1 million from 2017. Net cash generated from operating activities was £1.0 million, £0.4 million higher than in 2017. During the year we had a net income tax receipt of £0.1 million with prior year recoveries more than offsetting current year payments on account.

 

Investing activities totalled £1.0 million, primarily capitalised research and development expenditure of £0.7 million on the three new products released towards the end of the year, plus the patient warming system, which has continued into the current financial year.  These have led to the increase in the value of Intangible Assets to £1.2 million (2017: £0.5 million). Property, plant and equipment expenditure of £0.3 million includes the completion of the new Corporate Head Office in Crawley. During the year we took up an option to acquire further shares in Neuroprotexeon Ltd at a cost of £5,000; for more detail see note 7.

 

Reserves

At the AGM held on 30 June 2017, a capital reduction programme was approved and, following the necessary court hearings, this was completed in early August. Historical accumulated losses in the Company have now been eliminated.

 

Review of Business and Future Developments

On a Group basis the business review and future prospects are set out in the Chairman's Report above.  The Board believes that overall the Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements are fair, balanced and understandable.

 

Share Price during the Year

The range of market prices during the year 1 February 2017 to 31 January 2018 was 53.0p to 72.0p and the mid-market price of the Company's shares at 31 January 2018 was 56.0p.

The Research and Development Expenditure Credit (RDEC) scheme for large companies became compulsory from 1 April 2016. The RDEC provides relief against the corporation tax liability for the company of 11% on the amount of qualifying R&D expenditure.

 

Changes to the UK corporation tax rates were announced as part of the Chancellor's Budget on 16 March 2016. The change announced was to reduce the main rate of corporation tax to 17% from 1 April 2020.

 

As the change to 17% had been substantively enacted by the balance sheet date, deferred taxes at the balance sheet date have been measured using these enacted tax rates and reflected in these financial statements.

 

 

 

(c)  Factors that may affect future tax charges

 

The group has gross unused losses estimated at £7,596,000. Brought forward losses transferred to the Group due to the reverse acquisition amount to £7,596,000 and are potentially available for relief against future trading profits. 

 

 

4          Earnings per ordinary share

Basic earnings per share for the year is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders for the year after tax by the weighted average number of shares in issue.

 

Basic diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue to assume conversion of all potential dilutive ordinary shares.
