Interim Results

Surgical Innovations Group PLC 30 September 2003 Surgical Innovations Group plc Interim results 30 September 2003 CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT I am pleased to report that for the six months to 30 June 2003 your Group made an operating profit of £43k on turnover of £1,160k. Allowing for net interest payable of £20k, the retained profit for the period was £23k. For the same period in 2002, there was an operating profit of £22k on a turnover of £968k. I am delighted that turnover increased by 20% over the previous comparative period, a testament to the strength of the product range and our continued product development. My interim statement in 2002 commented upon the economic slowdown on exports to the USA, which affected our business for 2002. It is heartening to report that sales of YelloPort in the USA are now improving, through our strategic partnership with Cardinal Healthcare. Sales of YelloPort continue to develop on a world-wide basis and, in markets where reusable instrumentation tends to dominate, it is proving to be successful against the competition. We started 2003 with a global contract with Aesculap for our disposable scissors. So far, expectations have been met and we are confident that forecast sales of the product will be fulfilled by the end of 2003. The relationship with Aesculap continues to develop and, at their request, we are launching two new scissor variants in the final quarter of 2003. Technological and market changes in the Autologous Blood Transfusion (ABT) sector are taking place requiring us to undertake further work in this area and, to this end, we have commissioned a detailed market analysis. In order to benefit from our work done to date, we are looking for a joint development partner. In May we commenced market trials in South Africa of our single use port system, Variglide, with remarkable success. In June, we officially launched the product at EAES (European Association of Endoscopic Surgeons) in Glasgow and received critical acclaim from surgeons, distributors and competitors alike. To ensure we meet future demand, we have made a significant investment in our manufacturing facility. We have been actively recruiting over the past two months as we prepare for an upsurge in business in our single use products. Several European markets have now been targeted as we continue to roll out Variglide on a country-by-country basis and initial reaction has been extremely favourable. The ultimate goal is to penetrate the lucrative US market and current market data available for 2003 indicates that the US port access market is approximately $300 million. Discussions have taken place, and continue to do so, with several companies, including some of our strategic partners, with a view to establishing the most appropriate route to market. We hope to have concluded our discussions by the end of the current financial year. Your Group is currently in a strong position to take advantage of our significant investment programme and your Board is confident of a substantial second half performance.
