TIDMCUS RNS Number : 8005E CustomVis plc 30 December 2009 30 December 2009 CUSTOMVIS PLC ("CustomVis" or "the Group") FINAL RESULTS For the year ended 30 June 2009 CustomVis (AIM: CUS) develops, manufactures and sells laser systems for refractive surgery of the eye. To date, sales are in many countries worldwide, excluding the US. The Directors believe it is currently the only company in the world marketing a solid state laser to perform this surgery. Solid state is widely accepted as the next generation technology for this industry as it overcomes known shortcomings of the gas excimer lasers currently used for this purpose. PERIOD HIGHLIGHTS * Revenue increased by 82% to GBP2.12m (2008: GBP1.16m) * Gross profit increased by 70% to GBP1.07m (2008: GBP0.63m) * Loss before tax (before unrealised gain on foreign exchange) reduced by almost 40% to GBP1.1m (2008: GBP1.82m) * 14 lasers sold bringing the installed laser base to 40 (2008: 28) in 19 countries * Over 110,000 eyes now operated on POST PERIOD HIGHLIGHTS * 5 more lasers sold since 30 June 2009, taking the total installed base to 45 * RetinaVis launched - sales expected to commence in 2010 * PresBvis - presbyopia approval granted 6 November 2009 and first per patient fee collected * Laser installed at Moorfields Eye Hospital and trial commenced * Fundraising of GBP300,000 in October 2009 to provide working capital Dr. Paul van Saarloos, CEO of CustomVis, commented: "Solid State and the Pulzar laser are becoming accepted as alternatives to excimer lasers, as is evidenced by a record level of sales leads. PresBvis is the first ablative laser to receive European CE approval for the treatment of Presbyopia. Per use fees have already been collected for this treatment, which is likely to grow into a useful revenue stream. We have also seen an increase in interest in the Pulzar laser in Europe due to this approval. During 2010 we also expect our revenue to be nicely complimented by RetinaVis sales. Since redesigning the unit for improved ease of use, we have been negotiating significant numbers of orders. Although the past 12 months have been an extremely difficult period, we believe that much better times are not far away."

This figure comes despite difficult economic conditions and time-consuming distractions caused by the unsuccessful attempt of certain shareholders to remove certain members of the Board that resulted in the EGM on 6 July 2009 and the continued negative influences exerted by certain parties and competitors. The Group now has lasers operating in 21 countries, with recent new territories including, Peru, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Spain, France and the UK. The Pulzar Z1 is, we believe, the world's only solid-state laser being sold for refractive surgery. Its unique properties, including a wavelength of 213nm which reduces tissue damage and promotes a faster recovery time than the traditional excimer gas lasers, means that interest within the refractive industry continues to grow. Lasers sold by the Group have now operated on over 110,000 eyes. Excellent headway has been made with our new products and procedures: RetinaVis, our highly portable digital ophthalmoscope has been presented to a range of customers and distributors and should begin to see sales in 2010; PresBvis, a unique treatment for presbyopia received both Australian TGA and European CE regulatory approval in November 2009 and the necessary software upgrades on current installed lasers to facilitate the expeditious roll-out of the treatment are underway. CustomVis is, we believe, the first refractive laser company to receive that approval for this type of procedure and expands the options for treatment of this extensive age-related vision impairment. During the reporting period, we relocated our Australian production facility, enabling ongoing operational expense reductions while maintaining planned production capacity. The Company was also granted an extension of the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulatory approval for the production and sale of the Pulzar laser for a further 5 years. Financial Review Revenue from sales increased a substantial 82 per cent to GBP2,119,384 (2008: GBP1,161,312). Gross profit was GBP1,071,519 (2008: GBP628,742), an increase of 70 per cent. The Group made a loss before taxation for the year of GBP383,102 after recognising an unrealised gain on foreign exchange of GBP717,729 (2008: profit of GBP658,702, after recognising an unrealised gain on foreign exchange of GBP2,481,397). Loss per share for the year ended 30 June 2009 was 0.22p (2008: Earnings per share 0.56p). The net cash outflow from operating activities during the year ended 30 June 2009 reduced to GBP1,306,075 compared to GBP1,887,185 in the corresponding 2007/08 year and, at 30 June 2009, the Group had cash in hand of GBP0.3 million. A placing of approximately GBP300,000 was completed on 5 October 2009, with the issue of 23,030,000 new shares at 1.3p per share. The Directors continue to implement developments through a range of activities, including: * Transition towards more front-ended or cash sales away from the longer term payment plans; * Enhancements to the Pulzar to drive increased sales growth; * Focus on Europe where higher sales margins are generally achievable; * Initiation of two new revenue streams with upfront payments for PresBvis treatments and sales of the digital ophthalmoscope RetinaVis; and * Improved receivables management with installed electronic keys. By doing so the Directors are confident that they will be able to fund ongoing operations and growth by these and other options the Board is currently pursuing. One option may be to raise additional working capital at some stage in 2010. Sales and Marketing In the past, CustomVis has predominately sold lasers directly to its customers and managed all related service and warranty programmes. This strategy was required initially, as distributors did not have the knowledge and skills to introduce this new technology to their markets. The Company has now appointed a Marketing Manager located in Perth and we have Territory Managers for Latin America, the Middle East and the Asia Pacific Regions. The advantages of this strategy of conducting sales and service through a distributor network expands the sales profile; distributors have good local knowledge with their sales personnel being in regular contact with the surgeons in their region and distributors generally attend the national ophthalmic conferences. Further, all front line service is actioned through our distributors. During the year, our team attended many of the world's most prestigious ophthalmic conferences and exhibitions in Europe, the United States of America and the Middle East. While our sales numbers have been below those anticipated, the number of inquiries and quality of the interest in the Pulzar Z1 laser has been increasing substantially over recent months. Our installation of a Pulzar Z1 at the world renowned Moorfields Eye Hospital in London has allowed the initiation of a trial for vision correction by refractive surgery of some quite difficult cases. Given that refractive surgeons are typically very conservative in their approach to new technologies, this trial should give a strong indication of further acceptance of our product in the industry. In addition, good clinical evidence has been gained in a number of comparative studies, including one from Professor Ioannis Pallikaris, the world leading ophthalmologist who performed the first LASIK procedure 20 years ago. World Economic Crisis The extent of the world economic crisis, particularly in Asia and Europe has surprised many and certainly impacted on the speed of recovery for the refractive laser market. Most of our sales are quoted in US dollars, which coupled with the economic uncertainty has delayed some sales. On the other hand, the resurgent Australian dollar, compared to the US dollar, has reduced our capacity to take advantage from the exchange differences. Importantly, our solid state laser provides a real economic advantage to the purchaser compared to excimer lasers. The direct and indirect running costs are lower for solid state lasers. We have noticed that this has become an important factor for surgeons. Production During the year, we relocated our production facility within Perth, allowing us to consolidate our processes and reset our occupancy costs. The overall production cost per laser has remained the same as last year; this is despite a 20 per cent. reduction by the research and development team replacing some OEM parts. To preserve cash during the global economic crisis many parts were ordered in lower quantities. This has increased the cost of these parts significantly, balancing out the savings made internally. We also reduced our inventory holding levels during this year, further protecting our cashflow. Improved production processes have also resulted in lower technical risks and decreased production run-time. RetinaVis(TM) CustomVis has developed a new low cost portable digital ophthalmoscope (RetinaVis) for photographing the retina of the eye. The camera has been demonstrated at three major ophthalmic trade shows receiving a high level of interest. Feedback from these and other demonstrations has been incorporated into the design of the device and a test production run completed. Advanced negotiations for high volume sales are underway with potential distributors to specific territory and market segments. The camera has applications in recording images useful for the diagnosis of glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. The portability also allows screening and storage of retinal images from patients who are difficult to access using existing camera systems, such as those patients who are bed ridden. The Company believes the camera does not have a close competitive product in either cost or portability. Interest has been shown from ophthalmology, optometry and veterinary areas. Our research reveals there is a large market for these devices and we believe this camera will generate meaningful revenues at reasonable gross margins in the future, commencing from the third quarter of 2010. PresBvis(TM) In November 2009 the Company announced it had been granted approval for its presbyopia treatment (PresBvis) by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), Australia's regulatory agency for medical drugs and devices. The Company has also been granted European CE approval, allowing the procedure to be carried out within the European Union. Presbyopia is an age-associated progressive loss of the focusing power of the eye's lens, making it difficult to see objects close-up. Most people over the age of 40 will suffer from it to some degree and current treatment options are limited. The Group's installed base of Pulzar Z1 lasers will be capable of conducting the PresBvis presbyopia treatment through this regulatory approval. The Group has been conducting simple software upgrades over the last few months, thereby allowing surgeons operating the Pulzar Z1 lasers to begin offering this treatment to their patients. PresBvis users will be charged on a per-patient basis, bringing a new cash flow stream into the business, with fees paid in advance to CustomVis for each treatment performed. Medical Advisory Board Our recently established Medical Advisory Board meets in conjunction with major ophthalmic conferences and advises on key technological and medical issues relevant to the Company's position in the industry. Professor Emanuel Rosen chairs this Advisory Board of international key opinion leaders. The Company is grateful for their efforts and insights regarding product line extensions and technological advances of the Pulzar Z1. Research and Development Research and development is an essential undertaking of our Group. It continues to be a major application of our funds through the wholly-owned subsidiary, CLVR Limited. This year the Group received Australian Government grants of GBP320,000 (AusIndustry and Export Development Grant funding) to support certain specified activities. The development of our Multifunction Laser has made good progress during the year and at the time of reporting, prototypes of this product are under construction. This ophthalmic laser system will be a more advanced version of our current Pulzar Z1 laser for refractive surgery and will be able to perform other laser procedures ophthalmologists routinely carry out. Further, the Group finalised its electronic key system which is now installed on all new lasers. This system of software control will enable the Group to manage its payment programmes better when term payments are agreed with customers. Research work related to the Pulzar Z1 has ensured the successful publication of a number of important studies proving the safety and efficacy of this laser. These publications are extremely important tools for breaking the barriers to accepting this new technology and helping to generate sales: Recent Peer-Reviewed Scientific and Clinical Publications: * A Comparison of Corneal Cellular Responses After 213-nm Compared With 193-nm Laser PhotorefractiveKeratectomy in Rabbits.

We do, however, anticipate moving our terms of trade to be more front-ended and with increased installations of the Pulzar, together with new revenue streams from PresBvis and RetinaVis to provide the Company with a stronger financial position going forward. Management and staff are to be congratulated on their continued attention to pressing forward through these difficult times and staying focused on delivering a quality product, the Pulzar Z1, to the international ophthalmology industry.

Basis of Preparation and Going Concern The financial information has been extracted from the Group's financial statements that are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 1985 and under the historical cost convention. The financial information for the period ended 30 June 2008 is derived from the statutory accounts for that period which have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors reported on those accounts; their report was unqualified and did not contain a statement under either Section 237 (2) or Section 237 (3) of the Companies Act 1985. The statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2009 is derived from the statutory accounts for that period which will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors have reported on those accounts; their report was unqualified and did not contain a statement under either Section 237 (2) or Section 237 (3) of the Companies Act 1985. Having considered the guidance given in the document Going Concern and Liquidity Risk: Guidance for Directors of UK Companies issued in October 2009 by the Financial Reporting Council, the Directors have formed a judgement that, at the time of approving these financial statements there is a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources and likely income to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and therefore adopt the going concern basis for the financial statements. The continuing going concern of the Group is dependent upon the Group achieving its sales forecasts and continuing to increase the number of its machines that are in service. The Directors have prepared forecasts which demonstrate that the Group will continue as a going concern until at least 31 December 2010. Were the Group not to achieve its sales forecasts then the Group may not continue as a going concern without obtaining alternative sources of financing. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis and do not contain the adjustments that might arise if the Group ceases to be a going concern. The auditors' report on the statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2009 included the following: Emphases of Matter - Going Concern We draw attention to the disclosures in Note 1 of the financial statements regarding the directors' assumptions as to the continuing application of the going concern concept. The directors are optimistic as to the continued development of the business of the Group. However, unless an increase in sales is achieved, there remains doubt as to the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. Were the Group not to achieve its sales forecasts then the Group may not continue as a going concern without obtaining alternative sources of financing.Our opinion is not qualified in this respect. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the Group was unable to continue as a going concern." 2. Foreign Exchange Gain The Group earned a Foreign Exchange Gain of GBP302,822 (2008: GBP2,481,397) due to the movement of the exchange rate between Pound Sterling and the Australian Dollar over the financial year. This gain arose in the individual financial statements of the Company's subsidiary CLVR Pty Ltd. The gain arose as a result of inter-company financing and is unrealised. The remaining Foreign Exchange Gain earned by the Group in the 2009 year of GBP414,907 (2008: GBPnil) relates to the movement of exchange rates relating to trading balances. 3.Operating Profit/(Loss) +--------------------------------------------------+-----+-----------+------------+ | | | 2009 | 2008 | | | | GBP | GBP | +--------------------------------------------------+-----+-----------+------------+ | | | | | +--------------------------------------------------+-----+-----------+------------+ | Operating (Loss) / Profit is stated after | | | | | charging: | | | | +--------------------------------------------------+-----+-----------+------------+ | Depreciation | | 103,231 | 115,420 | +--------------------------------------------------+-----+-----------+------------+ | Operating lease payments - land and buildings | | 226,491 | 197,527 | +--------------------------------------------------+-----+-----------+------------+ | Share-based payments | | 26,769 | 9,743 | +--------------------------------------------------+-----+-----------+------------+ | Research and development | | 8,248 | 16,587 | | - expenditure in the year | | | | +--------------------------------------------------+-----+-----------+------------+ 4.Income tax expense +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ | | | 2009 | 2008 | | | | GBP | GBP | +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ | | | | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ | UK Taxation | | | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ | - Current year UK corporation tax | | - | 95,368 | +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ | - Amount in respect of previous year | |(353,474) | 302,226 | +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ | | |(353,474) | 397,594 | +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ | - Overseas taxation | | - | - | +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ | | |(353,474) | 397,594 | +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ | The charge for the year can be reconciled to the (loss) / | | | | profit per the income statement as follows. | | | | | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------+-----------+-----------+ | (Loss) / Profit on ordinary activities before | |(736,576) |1,056,296 | | tax | | | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ | | | | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ | (Loss) / Profit on ordinary activities | |(206,241) | 311,607 | | multiplied by the standard rate of corporation | | | | | tax on the UK income tax rate of 28.0% (2008: | | | | | 29.5%) | | | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ | Effect of revenue that is exempt from Taxation | | (88,645) |(732,012) | +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ | Effect of expenses that are not deductible in | | 99,563 | 255,797 | | determining taxable profit | | | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ | Effect of unused tax losses and tax offsets | | 190,622 | 259,976 | +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ | Effect of other timing differences | | 4,701 | - | +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ | Adjustments to prior year tax | |(353,474) | 302,226 | +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ | | | | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ | Income tax (benefit) / expense recognised in | |(353,474) | 397,594 | | income statement | | | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------+-----------+-----------+ Deferred taxation The Group has losses carried forward estimated at GBP14,405,164 (2008 - GBP12,891,407) that give rise to a deferred taxation asset. This asset has not been incorporated into the financial statements as it is not certain at the balance sheet date that profits in the foreseeable future will be sufficient to allow this balance to be utilised. UK Taxation - amount in respect of previous year In the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2008 the Group provided GBP302,226 in respect of adjustments to the tax computations for the years ended 30 June 2005, 2006 and 2007 and for potential penalties. Following completion of the 30 June 2008 audit, representations were made to HMRC to allow for the reassessment of these prior year tax returns. HMRC have now confirmed that it accepts the revised adjustments, therefore the GBP302,226 provision is no longer required. In addition to this amount, GBP51,248 of tax provided for in the 2008 year in respect of the tax computation for the year ended 30 June 2008 has been released given the provision is no longer required. 5.

No account has been taken of options, as these potential ordinary shares are not considered to be dilutive under the definitions of the applicable accounting standards. On 5 October 2009, the Company issued 23,030,000 ordinary shares. Allowing for the issue of these shares, the calculation of loss per share based upon the group loss incurred for the year ended 30 June 2009 for basic and diluted loss per share would be 0.20p per share. 6.
