Stuart Gall, CEO of Intelligent Ultrasound commented: "This has been an
excellent start to the year. Although Covid-19 has restricted sales in China,
our simulation revenues grew by over 50% thanks to an outstanding performance
from the UK and sales of the new clinical AI related products are starting to
grow. The recent announcement that our ScanNav Assist software has now been
incorporated on GE Healthcare's new Voluson Expert 22 ultrasound machine is
particularly encouraging. We reduced our operating loss for the period to
£1.3m and we remain confident that we can meet the market expectations of
£10m revenue for FY2022. We continue to monitor closely our cash, investment
in R&D and overheads against the anticipated sales growth curve in 2023,
as we build a successful 'Classroom to Clinic' ultrasound business in this
exciting sector of the market."

About Intelligent Ultrasound Group

 

Intelligent Ultrasound (AIM: IUG) is one of the world's leading 'classroom to
clinic' ultrasound companies, specialising in real-time hi-fidelity virtual
reality simulation for the ultrasound training market ('classroom') and
artificial intelligence-based clinical image analysis software tools for the
diagnostic medical ultrasound market ('clinic'). Based in Cardiff in
the UK and Atlanta in the US, the Group has two revenue streams:

 

Simulation

 

Real-time hi-fidelity ultrasound education and training through simulation.
Our main products are the ScanTrainer obstetrics and gynaecology training
simulator, the HeartWorks echocardiography training simulator,
the BodyWorks Eve Point of Care and Emergency Medicine training simulator
with Covid-19 module and the new BabyWorks Neonate and Paediatric training
simulator. To date over 1,400 simulators have been sold to c. 700 medical
institutions around the world.

 

Clinical AI software

 

Deep learning-based algorithms to make ultrasound machines smarter and more
accessible using our proprietary ScanNav ultrasound image analysis technology.
Current products on the market utilising this technology are GE
Healthcare's SonoLyst software that is incorporated in their Voluson Expert
22 and SWIFT ultrasound machines; ScanNav Anatomy PNB that simplifies
ultrasound-guided needling by providing the user with real-time AI-based
anatomy highlighting for a range of medical procedures; and NeedleTrainer
that teaches real-time ultrasound-guided needling and incorporates ScanNav
Anatomy PNB.

 

www.intelligentultrasound.com (http://www.intelligentultrasound.com/)

 

NOTE: ScanNav Anatomy PNB is CE approved, but not yet available for sale in
the US or any other territory requiring government approval for this type of
product.

 

 

 

INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

 

This has been an excellent trading period for the Group. A very strong
simulation revenue performance in the UK was combined with encouraging growth
in clinical AI software sales that puts us in a strong position to meet our FY
2022 target of £10m and continue the growth of the business into 2023.

 

Importantly, post-period end in July, our ScanNav Assist real-time AI
technology was incorporated by GE Healthcare into the new Voluson Expert 22
ultrasound machine, the second machine in the Voluson portfolio to incorporate
Intelligent Ultrasound's AI software as an option add-on.

 

We continue to believe that our 'classroom to clinic' ultrasound vision will
enable us to build a successful business in this exciting sector of the
market.

 

Simulation

 

Revenue

Our simulation revenue grew by 56% to £5.6m (H1 2021: £3.6m), our best start
to the year since we listed the Company in 2014.

Our record sales were driven by an exceptional performance from the UK's
direct sales team, who increased revenue by over 160% to £4.0m (H1 2021:
£1.6m). The UK revenues were helped by a high number of one-off orders from a
UK NHS training initiative in the first quarter. Although all our simulator
sales are considered one-offs, we judged c.£1.4m of these UK sales to be
exceptional.

Sales from the Group's direct sales team in USA showed a small decline of 13%
to £1.1m (H1 2021: £1.3m), but the region is expected to grow sales in the
second half of the year and with long-term growth expected from the US
markets, we invested in increasing the size of the sales team during the
period.

Sales from the Group's reseller network were impacted by the closing of the
Chinese market due to Covid-19 and to a lesser extent by the impact of the war
in Ukraine that has resulted in our sales into Russia being put on hold.  As
a result, Rest of the World revenue declined by 38% to £0.5m (H1 2021:
£0.8m). With sales in China and Russia not expected to recover in the second
half of the year, we anticipate our simulation reseller sales will improve in
2023.

 

Research and Development

In January 2022 at the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare
(IMSH) in Los Angeles, we officially launched the new BabyWorks neonate and
paediatric training simulator and the new 3D Echo add-on module for
HeartWorks. Both products are expected to contribute to simulator revenues in
H2 2022 and grow sales in 2023. During the year we also launched the new START
2.0 remote e-learning modules for the BodyWorks and HeartWorks platforms.

 

Clinical AI software

 

Revenue

Our clinical AI revenue, which is in the early stage of commercialisation,
grew five-fold to £0.3m (H1 2021: £0.1m) as we continued to focus on moving
AI into the clinic to give real-time support to clinicians whilst they are
scanning.

 

We now have three products launched in the market:

 

·    ScanNav Assist that is incorporated in two of GE Healthcare's Voluson
ultrasound machines - the newly launched Expert 22 and the SWIFT

·    ScanNav Anatomy Peripheral Nerve Block ("PNB"), our own CE approved,
direct-to-market device, that simplifies ultrasound-guided needling by
providing the user with real-time AI-based anatomy highlighting for a range of
medical procedures

·    NeedleTrainer, our own direct-to-market device, that teaches
real-time ultrasound-guided needling and incorporates ScanNav Anatomy PNB

 

Good progress has been made in the early commercialisation of these AI related
products and with ScanNav Anatomy PNB anticipated to receive FDA clearance in
the second half of 2022, and a handheld compatible version of NeedleTrainer
expected to launch in September 2022, AI revenue is expected to continue to
grow in H2 and in 2023. To this end, we now have two dedicated salespeople
selling NeedleTrainer and ScanNav Anatomy PNB in the UK and USA and will look
to increase this resource as sales traction grows during 2023.

 

We continue to build an excellent partnership with GE Healthcare and in
January 2022 announced an extension to our existing exclusive women's
healthcare AI agreement with GE Healthcare to enable GE Healthcare to utilise
the ScanNav Assist AI software in a new segment of automated ultrasound image
analysis, that is outside the Group's original agreement. Although the terms
of the agreement and the timings of the related product launch are
undisclosed, this supplementary product line is expected to support the growth
of the Group's royalty revenues in the longer term.

 

Research and Development

In the first half of 2022 we continued to focus on developing our partnership
with GE Healthcare and commercialising ScanNav Assist, ScanNav Anatomy PNB and
NeedleTrainer. As such, our development work on the ScanNav Detect abnormality
detection software and the future ScanNav HealthCheck software for at-home
scanning remain in the very early stages of development:

 

Operations

 

We continue to operate out of our head office in the centre of Cardiff and
warehouse in Caerphilly and have successfully moved to a flexible work
environment, whereby employees combine office and at-home working that is
appropriate to the Company and employee.

 

Board changes

 

In June 2022, Professor Nazar Amso and David Baynes, who have been Directors
within the Group respectively for 17 and 12 years, retired from the Board. We
would like to take this opportunity to thank Nazar, the founder of the
original Company, and David, the representative of the original major
investor, for their significant contributions to the Company over the past
years.

Post period end in August, we appointed Dr Christian Guttmann to the Board.
Christian is a recognised leader in shaping the global agenda on AI
regulation, standards, and guidelines, as well as having outstanding AI
research, development and AI commercialisation experience. He has built over
100 novel AI systems and products and was the founder of the Global AI
Institute which advises government ministers, thinktanks and businesses around
the world.

Concurrent with his appointment, Andrew Barker, who has been a Non-executive
Director since 2017, has announced his intention to retire from the Board
effective 31 December 2022.

Christian will join the Audit and Risk Committee, effective with his
appointment. Andrew will continue as Chair of the Remuneration Committee until
31 December, after which Michele Lesieur will take over as Chair of the
committee.

 

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)

 

In May we published our first ESG dashboard and report in the annual report
and accounts and announced that we had secured the status of a Carbon Neutral
Company - a significant ESG milestone in our wider ESG goals. The full report
can be viewed at https://www.intelligentultrasound.com/esg/

Financial Review

 

·    Revenue of £5.9m (H1 2021: £3.6m)

·    Operating loss for the period of £1.3m (H1 2021: loss of £2.3m)

·    Cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2022 of £3.5m (31 December
2021: £5.0m)

·    Net cash used in operating activities of £0.7m (H1 2021: £2.2m)

 

Driven by the exceptional simulation performance in the UK, H1 2022 revenues
reached a record £5.9m, an increase of 62% compared to the first half of 2021
(H1 2021: £3.6m). Gross profit for the period increased by over 60% to £3.8m
(H1 2021: £2.3m), an increase of £1.5m due to a mix of higher sales volumes
and an improvement in average gross margin arising from the higher proportion
of UK direct sales in the period. Clinical AI revenues from the expanded AI
product range grew to £0.3m in H1 2022 (H1 2021: £0.1m).

 

Total research and development (R&D) expenditure on product development
and regulatory costs in H1 2022 was £1.7m (H1 2021: £1.6m) of which £0.6m
(H1 2021: £0.5m) has been capitalised in the period. Clinical AI development
costs in H1 2022 include the additional Human Factors study performed in the
US as part of the FDA regulatory filing process for ScanNav Anatomy PNB, the
new handheld version of NeedleTrainer and the additional variants of the
ScanNav Assist software. In addition, development of new cardiac pathology
modules for BabyWorks started in H1 as well as ongoing development of
HeartWorks and ScanTrainer.

 

The operating loss in H1 2022 fell by 43% to £1.3m (H1 2021: £2.3m) due to
higher gross profit of £1.5m, offset by higher administrative expenses of
£0.5m. Administrative expenses increased partly due to higher sales related
costs such as sales commissions and distribution costs as well as headcount
increases in the US sales function offset by higher capitalised R&D costs.

 

The Group had cash and cash equivalents of £3.5m at 30 June 2022 (31 December
2021: £5.0m), a movement of £1.5m in the period (H1 2021: £2.9m). Operating
cash outflows before working capital movements were £0.9m lower in H1 2022
compared to H1 2021. After movements in working capital of £0.4m (H1 2022:
£0.9m) and the remainder of the 2020 R&D tax credits received in the
period of £0.2m (H1 2021: £nil), the net cash used in operating activities
reduced to £0.7m (H1 2021: £2.2m).

In the period, cash outflows from investing activities totalled £0.7m, of
which £0.6m related to capitalised R&D costs and £0.1m of property,
plant and equipment. The net cash outflow from financing activities was £0.1m
(H1 2021: £0.1m), principally relating to lease payments.

 

 

Outlook

 

This has been an excellent start to the year.

 

Although Covid-19 has restricted sales in China, our simulation revenues grew
by over 50% thanks to an outstanding performance from the UK and growing sales
of the new clinical AI related products. The recent announcement that our
ScanNav Assist software has now been incorporated in GE Healthcare's new
Voluson Expert 22 ultrasound machine is particularly encouraging.

 

We remain confident that we can meet the market expectations of £10m revenue
for FY2022, and we continue to monitor closely our cash, investment in R&D
and overheads against the anticipated sales growth curve in 2023, as we build
a successful 'Classroom to Clinic' ultrasound business in this exciting sector
of the market.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM REPORT

for the six months ended 30 June 2022

 

1.     BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The financial information contained in this interim report has not been
audited by the Group's auditor and does not constitute statutory accounts as
defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.  The Directors approved and
authorised this interim report on 18 August 2021.  The financial information
for the preceding full year is extracted from the statutory accounts for the
financial year ended 31 December 2021.  Those accounts, upon which the
auditor issued an unqualified opinion and did not include a statement under
Section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006, have been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies.

 

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with UK AIM Rules for
Companies.  The Group has not applied IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting"
(which is not mandatory for AIM listed companies) in the preparation of this
interim report.  The interim report has been prepared in a manner consistent
with the accounting policies set out in the statutory accounts for the
financial year ended 31 December 2021.

 

The Company is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in
England & Wales and whose shares are quoted on AIM, a market operated by
The London Stock Exchange.  The Group financial statements are presented in
pounds Sterling.

 

Going concern

 

The Board has reviewed recently updated cash flow forecasts for the period to
the end of 2023 based on latest trading and estimates and assumptions for
future  product development projects, sales pipeline, revenues and costs and
timing and quantum of investments in the R&D programmes. The forecasts
indicate that the Group may need additional funding within the next 12 months.
Although there is no guarantee, the Directors have a reasonable expectation
that the Group will be able to obtain further financing to support its ongoing
development and commercialisation activities and continue in operational
existence for the next 12 months. On this basis, the Directors continue to
apply the going concern basis in preparing this Interim report. Accordingly,
the financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from
the going concern basis of preparation being inappropriate.

 

2.     BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated interim report incorporates the results of the Company and
its subsidiary undertakings.

 

 

3.     NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2022, but
do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial
statements of the Group.

 

 

4.     REVENUE ANALYSIS

 

The following table provides an analysis of the Group's revenue by type and
geography based upon location of the Group's customers.

 Number of shares:                                             No.                             No.                 No.

In the periods ended 30 June 2022, 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2021 there
were share options in issue which could potentially have a dilutive impact,
but as the Group is loss making in all periods, they are anti-dilutive and
therefore the weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of
the basic and dilutive loss per share is the same.

property and brands acquired with the purchase of Intelligent Ultrasound
Limited totalling £0.7m (31 December 2021: £0.8m).  The remaining net book
