Feedback plc

('Feedback' or "the Company')

Final results for the year ended 31 May 2014

Chairman's statement

The financial year ended 31 May 2014 was transformational for Feedback plc. It saw the Company sell the industrial site formerly occupied by Feedback Instruments, which was the completion of the long played out disposal decision made in May 2012. The net cash proceeds of the sale amounted to £940,000 and this sum was used to extinguish the Company's outstanding indebtedness of approximately £200,000. The removal of this debt allowed the Company to move forward with implementing its investment strategy and accordingly on 19 May 2014 the Company entered the medical imaging market when it completed the acquisitions of Cambridge Computed Imaging Limited ("CCI") and TexRAD Limited ("TexRAD") by way of a reverse takeover and readmission to trading on the AIM market.

Since then the Company has made significant progress with CCI achieving ISO 13485, the International Standard relating to quality management systems for organisations involved in the manufacture of medical devices, and also strengthening the software development team. TexRAD continues to develop its product into a commercial version for the pharmaceutical trials market while maintaining sales of its research version to the leading oncology research centres in hospitals around the world. The board is pleased to announce that the Company is about to seek regulatory approval for TexRAD to be used in pharmaceutical trials and are hopeful that FDA approval can be achieved within the coming financial year.

Ahead of the launch of the pharmaceutical trials version of the TexRAD software the Group has reconfirmed its arrangements with Imaging Endpoints II, LLC ("IE2") in the USA. As set out in the Company's admission document, TexRAD entered into a software licence agreement and strategic partnership with IE2 in which TexRAD granted IE2 the exclusive licence to use TexRAD Research Software in the state of Arizona in the USA, and to use TexRAD Clinical Trial Software worldwide with an expected termination date of 12 September 2014. This agreement has now been re-signed on substantially the same terms and will run for two years from the validation date of the TexRAD Clinical Trial Software, i.e. the date at which it has achieved compliance with 21 CFR part 11 of the Code of Federal Regulations. IE2 will therefore remain our exclusive partner worldwide for imaging core lab purposes.

The board intends to continue to develop CCI and TexRAD and will also look to increase the Group's presence in the medical imaging sector with bolt on acquisitions and collaborations with research institutions to further grow the business. The board is pleased with the progress that has been made to date and enthused by new opportunities that present themselves to the Group.

It is with this in mind that the board has considered its current configuration. Whilst the board is involved with the day-to-day running of the operations of the Group at a high level, the board considers it appropriate that the directors of the Company should be focused on considering and actively pursuing potential acquisition opportunities. Accordingly, the Company today announces a reorganisation of the board of directors with immediate effect.

The board will now comprise three non-executive directors being Simon Barrell, Trevor Brown and Tom Charlton with Simon Barrell assuming the role of non-executive chairman. Nick Shepheard will leave the Company to pursue his other business interests. Senior management, being Mike Hayball, Dr Balaji Ganeshan and Dr Stephen Brown, will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the trading businesses.

I would like to thank Nick Shepheard for his time at Feedback and seeing the Group through the difficult years and the change in direction. The board wishes him success in the future. 

It is with great sadness that we have learned that Professor John Westcott, the Life President of Feedback plc, has passed away at the age of 93. Professor Westcott was one of the original founders of the Company in 1958 and also Emeritus Professor of Control Systems and a Senior Research Fellow at Imperial College. He served as a director of Feedback for 54 years until his resignation on health grounds in November 2012. We send our deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Simon Barrell

1              ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with those IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations issued and effective or issued and early adopted as at the time of preparing these statements (October 2014). The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. During the prior period the group disposed of its subsidiary Feedback Data plc. The results of the subsidiary were disclosed as discontinued operations.

During the year the group disposed of its property (held by Brickshield Limited). The disposed property was classified 'as held for sale' in 2013.

The financial information set out above does not comprise the Company's statutory accounts for the periods ended 31 May 2014 or 31 May 2013. Statutory accounts for 31 May 2013 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and those for 31 May 2014 will be delivered following the Company's Annual General Meeting. The auditors have reported on those accounts; their report was unqualified and did not contain statements under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006 in respect of the accounts for 2014 or for 2013.

2              GOING CONCERN

The Group disposed of its investment property for £940,000 during the year. The Company was an Investing Company until, on 19 May 2014, the Company acquired two subsidiaries in the medical imaging market, Cambridge Computed Imaging Limited and TexRAD Limited. The Group is now focused on medical imaging.

The Directors have produced forecasts which show that the Group and Company has adequate cash resources for at least the next twelve months from the date of this report. The Directors believe that the company is a going concern and have therefore prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis

3.             LOSS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by reference to the loss on ordinary activities after taxation of £471,000 (2013: £348,000) and on the weighted average of 132,912,773 (2013: 130,949,746) shares in issue.

4              INVESTMENTS

On 19 May 2014 the Group acquired Cambridge Computed Imaging Limited and TexRAD Limited. These are both consolidated from the date of acquisition. The Group was an investing company until this time and has invested in two companies in Medical Imaging. The company relisted as a trading company at the time of the acquisitions.

During 2013 the group disposed of its interests in Feedback Data plc. The results of this subsidiary are included in the income statement to the date of the disposal, 31 May 2013.

The costs related to the acquisitions of £164,000 have been recognised as part of the administration costs, although shown separately, in the statement of comprehensive income. The subsidiaries contributed £7,000 of revenue to the group and no profit or loss in the period since acquisition.

Had the subsidiaries been part of the Group for the full year from 1 June 2013, Group revenue would have been £364,000 and Group loss would have been £471,000.

None of the goodwill arising on consolidation is tax deductible.
