Revenues increased by 27% to GBP4.2m (2016: GBP3.3m) and
benefited from a full year's contribution from sales of HeartWorks,
which was added to the Group's range of ultrasound training
simulators with the acquisition of Inventive Medical Limited (IML)
in August 2016. While the UK continued to suffer from NHS budgetary
restraints, a number of markets showed encouraging growth,
particularly North America and China, and we will look to continue
to develop these markets in 2018.
The loss for the year, before tax and exceptional items, was
GBP2.7m (2016: GBP1.8m) and reflected the fact that administrative
expenses, excluding exceptional items, increased by GBP1.3m largely
because of increased amortisation of intangibles and the
consolidation of 12 months of IML's overheads versus 5 months last
year and the addition of 3 months of post-acquisition overheads for
IUL.
Exceptional items of GBP2.9m comprise:
-- an impairment charge of GBP3.3m. The Company is required
under International Accounting Standard 36 - Impairment of Assets
(IAS 36) to test the carrying value of any goodwill for impairment
annually. As the majority of the projected net revenues in the
Group's development pipeline extend out beyond the limit allowed by
this Standard, the Directors have concluded that the Company should
record this impairment charge, which equals the total goodwill
which arose on these acquisitions;
-- acquisition costs relating to the purchase of Intelligent
Ultrasound Limited (IUL) (see Key Events below) of GBP0.2m; and
-- a credit of GBP0.6m in respect of a fair value adjustment on
the settlement of contingent consideration in 2017 relating to the
acquisition of IML in the prior year.
Key events
In October 2017 we completed the acquisition of IUL, an
artificial intelligence based deep learning company that was spun
out of the University of Oxford. At the same time we raised GBP5.4m
of funds net of costs from new and existing shareholders with the
placing of 44,125,324 new ordinary shares in the Company.
By the year end we had completed the integration of IUL and
re-organised the Group into two divisions - Simulation, based in
Cardiff, and Clinical, based in Oxford. As well as working on the
Group's new deep learning software for ultrasound image analysis
(ScanNav), the Clinical Division will also develop the new
augmented reality-based ultrasound needle guidance software
(NeedleGuide). This development was bolstered by winning an
Innovate UK Digital Healthcare grant award announced in November
2017. In February 2018 we announced the commencement of the first
pilot of the ScanNav ultrasound image analysis software in St
George's Hospital NHS Trust in London. Working with this expert
group of sonographers will help shape the development of this new
technology. We also announced the launch of our new BodyWorks Eve
simulator platform, an ultra-realistic manikin-based simulator to
train medical professionals practising Point-of-Care Ultrasound
(PoCUS) across emergency medicine and critical care.
Summary
2017 has been an important year for the Group and I would like
to thank all our shareholders for their continued support, as well
as extending the Board's gratitude to all our staff and customers
around the world.
We had encouraging growth in a number of important simulation
markets although the UK market is proving difficult to predict. We
now therefore expect our simulation business to grow at rates
similar to those achieved in previous years. The acquisition of IUL
and their artificial intelligence technology and know-how has
expanded our business into machine learning software. Although this
AI software is not expected to provide material revenue in the
current year, the Board believes that it has the potential to
generate future revenues through supporting and guiding
sonographers and doctors undertaking ultrasound scanning and
clinical needling. The development work required will need further
funding during the next 12 months and the Group intends to pursue a
number of fund raising options in the second half of 2018. As such
the Board has a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able
to continue to be solvent as we expand into these new and exciting
artificial intelligence markets.
We look forward to the year ahead with considerable
enthusiasm.

STRATEGIC REPORT - OPERATIONS
2017 has been a year of transition in which we took the
significant step of expanding our business from ultrasound
simulation-based training into the larger clinical ultrasound
software market.
There are approximately 50 million medical professionals in the
world, yet it is estimated that fewer than 2% of these have the
ability to use ultrasound, despite it being one of the fastest,
cheapest and safest imaging modalities available in medicine.
However, it's a dif cult skill to learn and requires a high
level of on-going competence and we believe this is why ultrasound
is predominantly carried out only by specialist practitioners.
Although there is a growing market for cheaper, more portable
ultrasound machines, we believe that this alone is not suf cient to
open up the potential for ultrasound to become a mass-market
diagnostic tool that can also be used by unskilled medical
practitioners. To achieve this, ultrasound needs to become simpler
to use by making ultrasound machines 'smarter', supporting users
both in their scanning and with automated decision-making. This
will involve integrating image analysis using Arti cial
Intelligence (AI).
Our expansion into clinical ultrasound software demonstrates our
belief that this technology has the potential to support, guide and
speed up ultrasound scanning to make ultrasound accessible to more
medical professionals. The technology embraces artificial
intelligence and augmented reality and the Group aims to develop
products and services that can take advantage of these technologies
to open up new global ultrasound related imaging markets, whilst
continuing to grow its high-fidelity simulation training markets
for ultrasound specialists.
Simulation Division
Based in Cardiff (UK), Alpharetta (US) and Hong Kong (China),
our Simulation Division designs, develops and sells some of the
world's leading hi-fidelity ultrasound training simulators for
teaching ultrasound scanning to medical professionals.
Research & Development
During the year, the Simulation R&D team focussed on
developing the first female manikin-based simulator specifically
developed to meet the educational needs of medical professionals
practising Point of Care Ultrasound (PoCUS) across emergency
medicine and critical care.
BodyWorks Eve combines the normal and pathological hearts from
our HeartWorks simulator with the complete upper chest to pelvis
real patient scans from our ScanTrainer platform to teach the
requirements of the growing PoCUS skills training market, as
outlined by the International Federation of Emergency Medicine
(IFEM). Complete with over 100 real patient ultrasound cases and
over 10,000 patient scenario combinations, BodyWorks Eve replicates
learning in a real-life emergency or critical care setting,
allowing the tutor to control and change the severity and pathology
of the patient in real time.
Following its successful debut at the International Meeting on
Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH) in Los Angeles, the BodyWorks Eve
simulator platform was launched in all regions of the world in
February 2018.
Territory review
Our Simulation Division sales grew by 27% to GBP4.2m in 2017
(2016: GBP3.3m), benefitting from a full year's contribution from
sales of the HeartWorks echocardiography simulator range, which
contributed GBP2.0m to Group revenues (2016, 5 months
post-acquisition: GBP0.8m).
In the global ultrasound simulator market there were a number of
encouraging signs that sales momentum is gathering.
North America
Revenue in 2017 increased to GBP1.71m (2016: GBP0.86m).
North America is a key market for medical simulation and we
continue to sell into this territory through our direct sales force
that now operates out of Alpharetta, Georgia. Following the
settlement of the legal action in the US at the beginning of 2017,
we expanded the sales and support team and during the year won a
number of significant new medical teaching school accounts in the
US and Canada for both the ScanTrainer and HeartWorks
simulators.
Revenue in this key market increased by 98% to GBP1.7m (2016:
GBP0.9m) of which HeartWorks contributed GBP1.0m to Group revenues
(2016, 5 months post-acquisition: GBP0.3m).
The launch of the BodyWorks Eve simulator platform is expected
to increase our presence in the Point of Care Ultrasound (PoCUS)
and Emergency Medicine training market during 2018 and beyond.
United Kingdom
Revenues in 2017 was GBP0.72m (2016: GBP1.20m).
The UK has been a difficult market for our simulation sales team
in 2017, with considerable budgetary restraint in the NHS affecting
hospital and teaching schools during the year. Although sales in
the second half of the year showed some signs of recovery, UK sales
revenue for the year was down 40% to GBP0.7m of which HeartWorks
contributed GBP0.1m to Group revenues (2016, 5 months
post-acquisition: GBP0.1m).
Rest of the World
Revenue in 2017 increased to GBP1.76m (2016: GBP1.22m).
Revenue in the Rest of the World is mainly generated by 31
resellers. During the year sales increased by 44% to GBP1.8m (2016:
GBP1.2m), of which HeartWorks contributed GBP0.8m to Group revenues
(2016, 5 months post-acquisition: GBP0.4m), with the important
market of China growing by 83% to GBP0.8m (2016: GBP0.4m), of which
HeartWorks contributed GBP0.3m to Group revenues (2016, 5 months
post-acquisition: GBP0.2m).
These channel sales are supported by two UK based MedaPhor sales
support staff. In February 2018 this was increased to three sales
support staff, with the opening of an office in Hong Kong and the
appointment of a local Channel Support Manager to support the
growing Asia-Pacific (APAC) simulation market.
As with the North American market, the launch of the BodyWorks
Eve simulator is expected to open up new medical simulator markets
in Europe, APAC and the Gulf States.
In addition, our recently launched French curriculum ScanTrainer
system for obstetrics and gynaecology scanning is expected to
enhance our presence in the French speaking markets.
Clinical Division
In October 2017 the Company issued new Ordinary Shares to raise
GBP5.4m after costs and at the same time announced the acquisition
of Intelligent Ultrasound Limited (IUL), for a total consideration
of GBP3.0m, satisfied by the issue of new Ordinary Shares and
warrants in the Company and the payment of GBP72,000 in cash.
IUL is a University of Oxford artificial intelligence spin-out
company founded by world leading academic, Professor Alison Noble
OBE FREng FRS. IUL develops image analysis software for ultrasound
through the development of deep-learning software, based on
sophisticated computer algorithms and researched insights into
patient, clinician and healthcare provider needs.
The acquisition has enabled MedaPhor to expand its existing
ultrasound simulator business into the larger clinical ultrasound
related software market including the development of IUL's ScanNav
artificial intelligence-based image analysis software; and the
development the Group's NeedleGuide augmented reality ultrasound
needle guiding assistant.
ScanNav
In February 2018, the first pilot of the ScanNav real-time audit
image analysis system software was undertaken at the Fetal Medicine
Department of St George's University Hospitals NHS Trust, London,
UK.
ScanNav is believed to be the first artificially intelligent
system to carry out an automated, real-time "peer review" of
obstetric ultrasound images as the patient is scanned.
Monitoring performance by retrospectively auditing images
manually is very time consuming, so ScanNav supports clinical staff
by instantly confirming that the images they save conform to
protocol, meaning that sub-standard images can be re-scanned and
replaced straight away if required.
ScanNav evaluates each scan by comparing it to over 50
individual criteria to verify that the views required by the NHS
Fetal Anomaly Screening Programme (undertaken after 20 weeks of
pregnancy) are complete and fit for purpose.
The ScanNav software uses deep learning technology to assess the
same features that sonographers look for in ultrasound images and
has been 'taught' using over 350,000 images that were audited by a
panel of experienced sonographers. Initial validation studies have
shown that ScanNav's artificial intelligence system is as good as
an expert sonographer in assessing scan images and the pilot at St
George's is expected to help better understand how our proposed
range of ScanNav products could fit into the workflow of a busy
fetal medicine department and support sonographers and doctors in
ultrasound scanning.
NeedleGuide
Having secured Innovate UK grant funding in November 2017, the
first phase of the development of NeedleGuide commenced in February
2018. The grant of GBP466,000 will part-fund this development,
which the Company believes has the potential to revolutionise
interventional ultrasound-guided needling.
Doctors use interventional needling in a variety of medical
procedures including tissue biopsy, cannula insertion and
administering regional anaesthesia, in a procedure known as
peripheral nerve block (PNB). For many of these procedures,
including PNB, the National Institute for Health and Care
Excellence recommends that ultrasound guidance should always be
used.
NeedleGuide aims to combine existing technology developed by
MedaPhor, with expertise brought to the Group by the IUL team. The
augmented reality headset projects the ultrasound view on to the
patient's anatomy, highlighting the pathway the needle needs to
follow to the target and then uses artificial intelligence to
automatically track the needle tip to ensure that the operator is
always aware of the needle's position in relation to the key
anatomical structures. This minimises the potential for user error
and offers the opportunity for considerable savings to
hospitals.
STRATEGIC REPORT - FINANCE
Revenue
Revenues for the Group increased 27% to GBP4.2m (2016: GBP3.3m)
and benefited from a full year's contribution to sales from the
HeartWorks simulator, which contributed GBP2.0m to Group revenues
in 2017 (2016, 5 months post-acquisition: GBP0.8m).
Gross profit
The gross margin in the year was 60% compared to 64% in 2016.
The reduced margin largely reflects the higher proportion of
distributor sales in 2017, at 42% (2016: 26%).
Administrative expenses
Administrative expenses, excluding exceptional costs, increased
by GBP1.3m during the year to GBP5.2m (2016: GBP3.9m) as we
absorbed the first full year of overheads relating to IML acquired
in 2016, compared to 5 months post-acquisition overheads which were
consolidated in 2016. The increase also included 3 months of
post-acquisition overheads relating to IUL and the amortisation of
intangibles arising on the acquisitions of IML and IUL.
Increase in administrative expenses excluding exceptional
items:

-------------------------------------------- -----
Total increase in administrative overheads
excluding exceptional costs 1.3
-------------------------------------------- -----
Research and development costs
During the year the Group expensed through the income statement
GBP0.6m (2016: GBP0.4m) in relation to research and development
costs. In addition, development costs amounting to GBP0.5m (2016:
GBP0.5m) were capitalised within intangible assets and an
amortisation charge of GBP0.4m (2016: GBP0.3m) has been recognised
against cumulative capitalised development costs.
Loss before taxation and exceptional items
The loss for the year before tax and exceptional items was
GBP2.7m (2016: Loss GBP1.8m).
Exceptional items
Goodwill of GBP3.3m arose on the acquisition of IML and IUL and
the Company is required under International Accounting Standard 36
- Impairment of Assets (IAS 36) to test the carrying value of this
goodwill for impairment annually, using base cash flow projections
that should not extend beyond five years and must exclude net
revenues from pipeline products. As the majority of the Group's
projected net revenues arise from its on-going research and
development activities which are forecast to contribute more to
revenue in later years, the directors have concluded that, while
they believe the investments in both IML and IUL will be monetised
and yield returns in future years, the goodwill arising on these
acquisitions should be treated as impaired under the strict
requirements of IAS 36. Consequently, an impairment charge equal to
the total goodwill which arose on these acquisitions of GBP3.3m has
been made to the Income Statement and included in Exceptional
Items.
Exceptional Items also include acquisition costs relating to the
purchase of IUL of GBP0.2m and a credit of GBP0.6m in respect of a
fair value adjustment on the settlement of contingent consideration
relating to the acquisition of IML in the prior year (see note 10
below).
Taxation
The Group claims each year for research and development tax
credits and, since it is loss-making, elects to surrender these tax
credits for a cash rebate. The amount included within the
consolidated income statement in respect of amounts received and
receivable for the surrender of research and development
expenditure was GBP55,310 (2016: GBP45,534). As at 31 December
2017, the Group has cumulative tax losses of approximately GBP10.8m
(2016: GBP7.5m). The tax credit for the year also includes deferred
tax of GBP72,229 (2016: GBP27,667) on the fair value of intangible
fixed assets acquired with IML and IUL which is being recognised
over the life of those assets.
Placing and acquisition of IUL
On 6 October 2017 the Company placed 44,125,324 newly issued
shares of 1 pence each in the capital of the Company at a price of
12.5 pence per share which raised GBP5,515,665 before costs of the
share issue and GBP5,390,784 after costs. The share issue costs of
GBP124,881 have been netted off against the share premium arising
on the new share issue.
On the same day the Company acquired the entire share capital of
IUL for a total consideration of GBP3,039,694.
IUL is a University of Oxford spin-out company that develops
image analysis software for ultrasound through the development of
artificial intelligence/deep-learning software. Acquiring IUL has
allowed MedaPhor to expand its existing ultrasound simulator
business into the larger ultrasound related software market. The
assets and liabilities of IUL as at the date of acquisition are set
out in note 10 to the preliminary results below.
The GBP3.0m consideration comprised of the payment of cash of
GBP72,000 plus the issue of 18,527,936 new Ordinary Shares ("the
Consideration Shares") and 1,256,692 warrants ("the Consideration
Warrants") in MedaPhor Group plc with a combined fair value of
GBP2,967,694 based on the market price of the shares at the time of
the completion of the transaction. Two thirds of the Consideration
Shares (12,351,961 shares) were admitted to trading and two thirds
of the warrants (837,795 warrants) were issued upon completion. The
issue of the remaining third of the Consideration Shares and
Consideration Warrants was deferred for 12 months from completion
as the issue of these shares and warrants is contingent on no
seller warranty or indemnity breaches (as specified in the Sale and
Purchase Agreement) arising during that 12 month period. The issued
warrants at their fair value of GBP125,669 along with the retained
shares at their fair value of GBP926,396 and the retained warrants
at their fair value of GBP62,835, have been included in creditors
due within one year.
Balance sheet
Consolidated net assets increased to GBP7.1m (2016: GBP4.8m).
Cash at GBP4.3m was up GBP2.5m on the prior year (2016: GBP1.8m).
Trade and other payables of GBP2.4m at 31 December 2017 (2016:
GBP2.6m) include GBP1.0m in respect of retained consideration
relating to the acquisition of IUL and GBP0.1m of warrants issued
as part of that consideration (2016, retained consideration
relating to the acquisition of IML: GBP1m).
Cash flow and going concern
Cash at 31 December 2017 stood at GBP4.3m (2016: GBP1.8m), with
cash flow in the year boosted by the placing of new ordinary shares
in the Company which raised GBP5.4m net of costs (2016: placing
raised GBP3m net of costs). Net cash used in operating activities
was GBP2.2m (2016: GBP2.2m) and net cash outflows arising from
investment activities (excluding cash used or acquired on the
acquisition of subsidiaries was GBP0.7m (2016: GBP0.6m).
In the second half of the current year the Company will commence
the process to secure a further round of funds to take the Group
through the next stage of growth. Subject to this, the Board has a
reasonable expectation that the Group will continue to be solvent
for the foreseeable future.
Events since the end of the financial year
Other than as disclosed above, there are no events to report
that have occurred since the end of the financial year.
STRATEGIC REPORT - SUMMARY
The extension of the Group business, from simulation-based
ultrasound training, into artificial intelligence based software
for clinical ultrasound is an exciting development for MedaPhor.
The Intelligent Ultrasound AI technology has the potential to
develop new products that could provide sonographers and doctors
with ultrasound support, guidance and audit tools, as well as in
the long-term, opening up new markets for automated ultrasound
scanning for all medical professionals. The combination of the new
AI clinical support software and our existing revenue generating
simulation business enables us to look forward with considerable
confidence.

MedaPhor Group plc
NOTES TO THE PRELIMINARY RESULTS
for the year ended 31 December 2017
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Group's financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union, IFRIC interpretations,
the AIM Rules, and the Companies Act 2006.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern
basis. The Board receives rolling cash flow projections on a
monthly basis and monitors these against the Group's long term
projections. These projections indicate that the Group will need to
raise further funds within the next 12 months.
The Group meets its day--to--day working capital requirements
from its cash reserves. The Group expects that it will need to
raise additional funds through either equity-based investor funding
or debt finance within the next 12 months. Subject to this, the
directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable
future and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of
accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. However,
in the absence of binding agreements, there can be no guarantee
that additional funds will be made available as required. These
conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which
may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company and the
Group to continue as going concerns. These financial statements do
not include any adjustments that would result from the going
concern basis of preparation being inappropriate.
While the financial information included in this preliminary
announcement has been computed in accordance with IFRS, this
announcement does not itself contain sufficient information to
comply with IFRS. The accounting policies used in the preparation
of this preliminary announcement have been applied consistently to
all periods presented. They are also consistent with those in the
Group's statutory financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2017 which have yet to be published. The preliminary
results for the year ended 31 December 2017 were approved by the
Board of Directors on 20 March 2018.
The financial information set out in this preliminary
announcement does not constitute the Group's statutory financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 and the year ended
31 December 2016. The statutory accounts for the year ended 31
December 2016 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.
The auditors' report on those statutory financial statements was
unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498 (2)
or 498 (3) Companies Act 2006. The auditor's report on the 31
December 2016 financial statements contained an emphasis of matter
statement with respect to going concern, given the dependence of
the Group on raising further funds within the next 12 months and an
emphasis of matter statement in relation to the carrying value of
intangible assets, given the uncertainties around achieving
forecast cashflows.
The financial information for the year ended 31 December 2017 is
unaudited. The auditor's report on the 31 December 2017 financial
statements is expected to contain a material uncertainty paragraph
with respect to going concern, given the dependence of the Group on
raising further funds within the next 12 months. The statutory
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 will be
delivered to the Registrar of Companies in due course.
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.
2. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated preliminary results incorporate the results of
the Company and its subsidiary undertakings.
3. SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS
The following table provides an analysis of the Group's revenue
arising from the Group's Simulation Division by type (Distribution
or Direct Sales) and geography based upon the location of the
Group's customers. The Group's Clinical Division which develops
image analysis software for ultrasound through the development of
deep-learning software was established in October 2017 with the
acquisition of IUL and has not made any sales to date.

Goodwill of GBP3,328,166 arose on the Company's acquisition of
the entire share capital of IML in August 2016 (goodwill:
GBP1,292,382) and the acquisition of the entire share capital of
IUL in October 2017 (goodwill: GBP2,035,784). Accounting standard
IAS 36 - 'Impairment of assets' requires goodwill to be tested for
impairment annually. The goodwill arising on the acquisition of IML
relates to the Group's Simulation business and the goodwill arising
on the acquisition of IUL relates to the Group's Clinical business.
Since the acquisitions, IML and IUL have been incorporated into the
MedaPhor business and the Group shares its resources. The combined
businesses have therefore been assessed as one cash-generating unit
for an impairment test on goodwill.
7. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)
In performing this impairment test, IAS 36 requires, inter alia,
that:
(i) the base cash flow projections should not cover a period of
more than five years unless management are confident that these
projections are reliable and;
(ii) any 'terminal' growth rate beyond the base cash flow period
should be steady or declining unless an increase in the rate
matches objective information about patterns over a product or
industry life cycle and;
(iii) cash flow projections for the cash-generating unit shall
exclude any estimated future cash inflows or outflows expected to
arise from improving or enhancing the assets performance.
In respect of the impairment test on goodwill relating to the
Group's Clinical business, the directors believe that a forecast
horizon beyond five years is needed to reflect the time it will
take to develop products for the Clinical market and to obtain the
necessary regulatory approvals for their use, but because the
development of artificial intelligence software in a clinical
environment is at such an early stage, the directors have decided
that, under IAS 36, it would not be appropriate to extend the
Group's base cash flow projections beyond five years or apply a
high terminal growth rate for subsequent years in the projections
used to test impairment of goodwill. In addition, the growth
anticipated in both the Clinical and Simulation businesses is
dependent on continued research and development of the Group's
products; however, under IAS 36, the net revenues arising from
these pipeline products cannot be included in the projections used
to test impairment of goodwill.
An impairment review has been done using the value in use
calculation based on the Group's budgets for 2018 to 2022 excluding
cash inflows and outflows expected to arise from pipeline products
of the cash generating unit which have been approved by the Board.
These budgets assume average annual revenue growth of 21% and
overhead growth of 2%. Forecasts for subsequent years have been
produced based upon 2% growth rates in each year. A net present
value has been calculated using a pre-tax discount rate of 13.2%
taking into account the Group's cost of funds and an extra element
for risk.
Management have determined the values attached to each of the
key assumptions above as:
Revenue growth - Average annual revenue growth over a five-year
period in line with the Directors expectation of performance.
Terminal growth - Expected long-term growth rate beyond the
five-year period.
Overhead growth - Average annual overhead growth over a
five-year period in line with the Directors expectation of
performance.
Discount rate - based on specific risks attached to existing
products.
In addition, a sensitivity analysis has been undertaken by
making the following changes:
1. Reduction in annual growth rates for 2018 and 2022
2. Increase in the discount rate
The conclusion of this review is that, there is an impairment of
goodwill if the base cash projections are not extended beyond this
five year time horizon and cash flows from pipeline products are
excluded. The directors have concluded that the goodwill arising on
the acquisition of IML and IUL should be treated as impaired under
IAS 36 and consequently an impairment charge of GBP3,328,166 has
been made to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. If
the forecast annual growth rate for 2018 to 2022 is adjusted below
19.5%, then the remaining intangibles above with a carrying value
of GBP3,366,477 would also be fully impaired.

One third of the consideration payable in respect of the
acquisition of IML in 2016 was deferred for 12 months from
completion with the actual number of retained shares to be issued
dependent on any vendor warranty or indemnity breaches (as
specified in the Sale and Purchase Agreement) arising during that
12 month period.
The Company was not aware of any vendor warranty or indemnity
breaches and so the 2,325,582 deferred consideration shares (with a
fair value of GBP363,372 at 15.625 pence per share) were admitted
to trading on 16 August 2017. The share premium arising was subject
to merger relief and has been taken to merger reserve.
On 6 October 2017 the Company placed 44,125,324 newly issued
shares of 1 pence each in the capital of the Company at a price of
12.5 pence per share. Share issue costs of GBP124,881 have been
netted off against the share premium arising on the new share
issue.
A further 12,351,961 shares were admitted to trading on 6
October 2017 upon completion of the acquisition of IUL (see note
25) and 837,795 warrants were issued, which represented two thirds
of the total share consideration payable at a fair value price of
15 pence per share/warrant. The issue of the remaining 6,175,975
shares and 418,897 warrants was deferred for 12 months from
completion with the actual number of retention shares to be issued
dependent on any vendor warranty or indemnity breaches (as
specified in the Sale and Purchase Agreement) arising during that
12 month period. Currently, the Company is not aware of any such
breaches and so the deferred consideration has been provided for in
full. Consequently, the value of the deferred shares and deferred
warrants along with the issued warrants at their fair value is
included under creditors due within 12 months. The share premium
arising on the shares issued on completion was subject to merger
relief and has been taken to the merger reserve.
10. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Business combinations during the period - Intelligent Ultrasound
Limited
On 6 October 2017 the Company acquired the entire share capital
of Intelligent Ultrasound Limited ("IUL") for a total consideration
of GBP3,039,694.
IUL is a University of Oxford spin-out company that develops
image analysis software for ultrasound through the development of
artificial intelligence/deep-learning software. Acquiring IUL will
allow MedaPhor to expand its existing ultrasound simulator business
into the larger ultrasound related software market.
The assets and liabilities of IUL as at the date of acquisition
were as follows:

==========
The GBP3.0m consideration will be satisfied by the payment of
cash of GBP72,000 plus the issue of 18,527,936 new Ordinary Shares
("the Consideration Shares") and 1,256,692 warrants ("the
Consideration Warrants) in MedaPhor Group plc with a combined fair
value of GBP2,967,694 based on the market price of the shares at
the time of the completion of the transaction. Two thirds of the
Consideration Shares (12,351,961 shares) were admitted to trading
and two thirds of the warrants (837,795 warrants) were issued upon
completion. The issue of the remaining third of the Consideration
Shares and Consideration Warrants (together "the Deferred
Consideration") was deferred for 12 months from completion as the
issue of these shares and warrants is contingent on no seller
warranty or indemnity breaches (as specified in the Sale and
Purchase Agreement) arising during that 12 month period. The issued
warrants at their fair value of GBP125,669 along with the
Deferred Consideration (retained shares at their fair value of
GBP926,396 and the retained warrants at their fair value of
GBP62,835), have been included in creditors due within one year.
The value of the Deferred Consideration will be reduced by the
value of any seller warranty or indemnity breaches (as Specified in
the Sale and Purchase Agreement). If there are no seller warranty
and indemnity breaches, the full value of the Deferred
Consideration in shares and warrants (total: GBP989,231) becomes
payable by the Company. If the value of any seller warranty and
indemnity breaches is at least as much as the deferred
consideration, then the Deferred Consideration will not be payable
by the Company. Merger relief has been applied to the shares that
were issued on completion, leading to the addition of GBP1,729,274
to the merger reserve rather than share premium.
The revenue included in the Consolidated Statement of
Comprehensive Income since 6 October 2017 contributed by IUL was
GBPNil. IUL made an operating loss of GBP171,090 over the same
period. Had IUL been consolidated from 1 January 2017, the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income would show revenue
of GBPNil and operating loss of GBP547,220 in relation to this
entity.
Acquisition costs amounting to GBP169,236 have been recognised
as exceptional administrative expenses in the Consolidated
Statement of Comprehensive Income. The goodwill arising on the
acquisition represents the value of intangible assets that do not
qualify for separate recognition.
10. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (continued)
Business combinations completed in prior periods - Inventive
Medical Limited
On 8 August 2016, the Company acquired the entire share capital
of Inventive Medical Limited ("IML") and its sister company, IML
Finance Limited which was satisfied by the issue of 6,976,745 new
Ordinary Shares in the Company. The fair value of the consideration
was based on the market price of the shares in the Company at the
time of completion of the transaction which was 43 pence and
equated to a total fair value of GBP3,000,000. One third of the
Consideration Shares was deferred for 12 months from completion as
the issue of these shares was contingent on no seller warranty or
indemnity breaches (as specified in the Sale and Purchase
Agreement) arising during that 12 month period ("the Contingent
Consideration").
This Contingent Consideration was included in creditors due
within one year at 31 December 2016 at its original fair value of
GBP1,000,000 The Company was not aware of any vendor warranty or
indemnity breaches and so the 2,325,582 Contingent Consideration
shares were admitted to trading on 16 August 2017. The difference
between the original fair value of the Contingent Consideration and
the fair value of the Contingent Consideration at the settlement
date of GBP636,628 has been recognised in the Consolidated
Statement of Comprehensive Income as a fair value adjustment on
contingent consideration and included within exceptional items (see
note 4).
The share premium arising on the settlement of the Contingent
Consideration was subject to merger relief and has been taken to
merger reserve. Consequently, the value of these shares at their
fair value, is now included within the share capital of the Company
(GBP23,256) and merger reserve (GBP340,116).
The revenue included in the 2016 Consolidated Statement of
Comprehensive Income contributed by IML was GBP821,150. IML made an
operating loss of GBP59,283 over the same period. Had IML been
consolidated from 1 January 2016, the Consolidated Statement of
Comprehensive Income for 2016 would have shown revenue of
GBP2,316,969 and operating loss before exceptional amortisation
charge of GBP337,452 in relation to this entity.
Acquisition costs amounting to GBP165,435 were recognised as
exceptional administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement
of Comprehensive Income for the year ended 31 December 2016.
The goodwill arising on the acquisition represents the value of
intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition.
