About Feedback plc

Feedback plc (AIM: FDBK) is a specialist medical imaging technology company providing innovative software and systems, through its fully-owned trading subsidiary, Feedback Medical Limited. Its products advance the work of radiologists, clinicians and medical researchers by improving workflows and giving unique insights into diseases, particularly cancer. Feedback Medical works with customers globally from headquarters in the internationally renowned scientific hub of Cambridge, UK. Its proprietary technologies are TexRAD(R) , the quantitative texture analysis tool and Cadran, a picture archiving communication system (PACS). For more information, see www.fbk.com

Overview

The first half of FY 2019 has seen a continuation of the momentum built up in the previous year, with invoiced sales for the first six months up 22% to GBP271k (H1 2018: GBP222k). The new operational structure continues to provide benefits, with increased information sharing and cross-business sales activity. New recruits post period-end are already contributing to sales growth and marketing activities and the Company is continuing its recruitment drive to increase its in-house R&D and product management capability.

Financial summary

In the six months to 30 November 2018, Feedback invoiced sales of GBP271k, up 22% on the first half of the 2018 financial year (H1 2018: GBP222k) due to increased international traction and improved operational structure. Recognised revenue in the period increased 4% to GBP236k (H1 2018: GBP228k). The difference between sales and revenue is due to the contract structures which typically comprise installation costs, a contract for a year or more, followed by a 20% annual maintenance fee thereafter.

The Company's recruitment drive, investment in developing further software products and functionality, and investment in its agreement with Future Processing have resulted in a loss after tax for the six-month period of GBP369k (H1 2018: loss GBP348k). Loss before interest, tax and amortisation was GBP400k (H1 2018: loss GBP337k). During the period, Feedback invested GBP106k with Future Processing on future product developments (H1 2018: GBP41K). This intangible asset will be amortised against future income streams stemming from this investment. The tax credit reflects the research and development tax credit available to Feedback Medical.

Feedback continues to focus on cost control, with existing overheads kept well monitored. Cash at 30 November 2018 was GBP1.367m (30 November 2017: GBP267k) following the equity fundraise in November 2018, raising GBP1.375m before expenses.

Operational review

Feedback Medical

Feedback Medical is undertaking a recruitment drive to increase its in-house R&D and product management capability. It expects to appoint a research manager to assist with the expansion of Cadran and TexRAD(R) products into academic and commercial R&D support, as well as a small data science team to assist with data analysis and new algorithm development. A product specialist has already been recruited to identify opportunities and specifications for Cadran sales. This expansion will build on the Company's deep image processing expertise and experience to become a leader in quantitative imaging.

In November 2018, Feedback Medical announced that it had retained its ISO 13485:2016 certification for the fourth consecutive year. ISO 13485:2016 is the internationally recognised 'Medical Devices Quality Management' standard specifying that organisations demonstrate their ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements.

The Company's continued compliance with this standard illustrates the importance that it places on the quality of its products and customer support. The certification was awarded following a surveillance audit by independent compliance specialists SGS UK Ltd.

TexRAD(R)

International interest in Feedback's TexRAD(R) quantitative texture analysis platform has continued throughout the first half of the financial year. In August 2018, the Company received its first order through its distributorship agreement with GE Healthcare, for a hospital in India. In addition, during this month, an order was received from University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa, US. This was then followed by the Samsung Medical Centre order for TexRAD(R) , received in September 2018, through distributor Korea Computer ISG. Feedback Medical has also seen significant European customer expansion for TexRAD(R) during the period, signing university hospitals in Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal and Czech Republic.

Two independent pilot studies of TexRAD(R) Lung, TexRAD(R) 's particular application in lung cancer, have been undertaken at University College London Hospitals NHS Trust and Leeds Teaching Hospital NHS Trust. During these studies, images and medical histories of more than 100 patients have been reviewed at each site to evaluate TexRAD(R) Lung in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computerised Tomography (CT) scans for lung cancer. The preliminary analyses of these studies demonstrate a positive prognostic value for TexRAD(R) Lung and its texture parameter. These have led to further refinements of the product.

Commercial and technical discussions continue with Alliance Medical. Feedback is also in active discussions with other medical imaging software companies and service providers to partner with and integrate TexRAD(R) Lung within their platforms and potentially sell within the UK and beyond.

Cadran

Feedback Medical is exploring further opportunities for Cadran, its Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), focusing on its image archiving, retrieval, storage and anonymisation capabilities with several eminent clinical centres. Initially, those centres with research archives and radiation-oncology focused image-banks will be targeted. The growing interest in and development of radiomics, machine-learning and AI solutions has led to a need for better archiving, collation and curation of large data sets and their links to other electronic medical health records.

R&D progress

Feedback works closely with its customers to provide the functionality that its users need. As a result, in January 2019, it invested in its collaboration with software development partner, Future Processing, to reinforce its software platform with new and improved clinical integration, based on customer feedback. The collaboration also provides continued access to a dynamic and flexible team of specialist medical imaging software developers and AI specialists.

As part of the agreement, Feedback will also distribute relevant medical image analysis products developed by the Future Processing team.

Current trading and outlook

The first half of the financial year has brought continued positive progress at Feedback. Feedback Medical built on its customer base with new sales in Europe as well as further sales in the US, South Korea and India. Post period-end, the partnership with Future Processing was strengthened, increasing software development capacity and capabilities. The successful fundraise in November 2018 has enabled the recruitment of a new data scientist and a product specialist for Cadran, with further hires to come. A professional clinical evaluation of the 100 academic publications on Feedback's products is currently underway to assist with regulatory filings and strategic positioning of our products going forward. With positive milestones being achieved post period-end, the board looks forward to further positive developments in the second half of the financial year.
