INTERIM RESULTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30 SEPTEMBER 2016
Omega (AIM: ODX), the medical diagnostics company focused on
allergy, food intolerance and infectious disease, announces its
unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 September
2016.
Omega is one of the UK's leading companies in the fast growing
area of food intolerance testing and also operates in markets
supplying tests for allergies and autoimmune diseases and specific
infectious diseases through a strong distribution network in over
100 countries.
Financial Highlights:
-- Revenue 11% ahead of last year at GBP6.83m (2015: GBP6.15m)
-- Gross profit increased by 15% on the same period last year at GBP4.47m (2015: GBP3.89m)
-- Gross margin increased by 2.2% on the same period last year at 65.5% (2015: 63.3%)
-- Adjusted profit before tax(1) ("PBT") of GBP0.56m (2015: GBP0.52m)
-- Adjusted earnings per share(1) maintained at 0.6p (2015: 0.6p)
-- Cash at the period end of GBP0.8m (2015: GBP1.6m)
(1) Adjusted for share based payments, IFRS-related discount
unwinds and amortisation of intangible assets
Operational Highlights:
-- Automated Allergy development programme CE-Marking 41
allergens which are now available for sale
-- Pune facility expected to contribute to Group revenues by the
end of the current financial year
-- Food Intolerance segment continues to deliver the fastest
growth in revenue at the highest gross margin
-- Significant progress with our chosen Visitect CD4 test design
with a clear roadmap to complete the technical work needed to
achieve commercial launch
-- Proposed change to relationship with Allersys licensor
Regarding outlook, David Evans, Chairman, said:
"We have made good progress on our key Visitect(R) CD4
development project and we have also covered much ground in
bringing our Pune facility to a state of operational readiness and
these activities are expected to contribute to growth in
shareholder value over the shorter term.
"We have recently been approached by our Allersys licensor
(Immunodiagnostic Systems Holdings plc "IDS") with a view to
changing the nature of the commercial relationship with the
Company. This could extend to the acquisition of all or part of our
Allergy Business.
"We will update the market as soon as we have a clearer
understanding of IDS' intentions but as things stand, the outlook
for the rest of the financial year is encouraging within our core
business with revenue and adjusted profit before tax expected to be
at the higher end of market expectation due, in part, to favourable
currency movements."

Chairman's Statement
Financial performance
Trading in our core business during the first half of the year
has seen increases in revenue in all three segments, helped by a
favourable currency impact. Total revenue increased by 11% to
GBP6.83m (2015: GBP6.15m) with the weaker effect of Sterling
increasing reported revenue by approximately GBP0.5m in the current
period (3% increase in revenue on a constant currency basis).
Our Food Intolerance revenue grew again, increasing by 15% to
GBP3.84m (2015: GBP3.34m). Our microarray-based Foodprint(R) system
has achieved particularly good growth in revenue, increasing by 46%
to GBP2.2m (2015: GBP1.52m) including one account win in North
America, a market which is seen as increasingly important for
longer term growth. Food Detective(R) revenue fell by 22% to
GBP0.93m (2015: GBP1.20m) as we took a conscious decision to reduce
pipeline stocking in two of our key markets. However, we did still
record growth in revenue in half of our top ten markets.
Our Allergy/Autoimmune revenue increased by 11% to GBP1.76m
(2015: GBP1.59m) which was, in the main, due to a favourable
currency impact from our domestic German allergy business deriving
its sales in euros. In constant currency terms, revenue was stable
in Germany compared to the prior period which is in contrast to a
recent history of decline due to reimbursement pressures.
Our Infectious Disease segment continues to be the most
price-competitive in which we operate with gains in some regions
being offset by regional reductions elsewhere. A small percentage
reduction in revenue in actual terms has been positively impacted
by the weaker position of Sterling, resulting in a revenue increase
of 1% to GBP1.23m (2015: GBP1.22m).
Gross profit increased by 15% to GBP4.47m (2015: GBP3.89m) and
gross margin percentage increased by just over two percentage
points to 65.5% (2015: 63.3%) reflecting the increased mix of
higher margin products from our food intolerance business. Adjusted
profit before tax (statutory profit before tax of GBP0.38m with add
backs for amortisation of intagibles, share-based payment charges
and IFRS-related discount charges) increased marginally to GBP0.56m
(2015: GBP0.52m), reflecting investment in additional resource in
UK based businesses and in our facility in Pune, India. A reduced
tax credit of GBP77k (2015: GBP135k) has resulted in adjusted
earnings per share being maintained at 0.6p (2015: 0.6p). Statutory
basic earnings per share were 0.4p (2015: 0.3p).
Strategy
Point-of-care (POC) testing
In the trading update on 17 October 2016, we confirmed we have
been successful in eliminating an ambient temperature effect when
tested on over 100 HIV-positive samples at a UK hospital. We also
have data on a further 400 samples and results overall indicate we
are meeting our design goals of sensitivity and specificity.
We are now in a period of formal design control which means we
now have the device format which we expect to take to the market.
The remaining work we plan to do will be undertaken to confirm this
is the case. We have now manufactured all the components necessary
to assemble a scaled-up batch size of 10,000 devices which will be
used in external trials and for assay robustness studies.
Rapid test manufacturing
Further to our trading update in October, we intend to complete
all stages of the BSI Quality Management System review to ISO
9001:2008 and ISO 13485:2012 for our facility in Pune and remain on
course to achieve CE-Marked malaria and pregnancy tests available
for sale in the final quarter of the current financial year.
Allergy Automation
In October we successfully CE-Marked our allergy launch panel
comprising 41 allergens which are capable of being run on the
IDS-iSYS instrument and whose performance matches that of the
market-leading product. We are also finalising a long-term supply
contract with our first customer in Germany.
We have initiated recruitment of skilled project managers and
leaders into the scientific team that is responsible for delivering
menu expansion, beyond the initial launch panel. We have been able
to do this thanks to the Scottish Enterprise research and
development grant of GBP1.8m announced in August 2016.
Outlook
We have made good progress on our key Visitect(R) CD4
development project and we have also covered much ground in
bringing our Pune facility to a state of operational readiness and
these activities are expected to contribute to growth in
shareholder value over the shorter term.
We have recently been approached by our Allersys licensor
(Immunodiagnostic Systems Holdings plc "IDS") with a view to
changing the nature of the commercial relationship with the
Company. This could extend to the acquisition of all or part of our
Allergy Business.
Given the lack of clarity on IDS's intentions, we continue to
reflect the carrying value of the Allergy Business in line with our
Accounting Policies.
Under the terms of the 2011 agreement, the license can be
terminated by IDS should they wish to do so. We believe that it is
in both parties' interests to explore all the possibilities of a
new commercial relationship and to avoid a situation whereby there
are no winners should IDS exercise their right to terminate the
contract/license.
We will update the market as soon as we have a clearer
understanding of IDS' intentions but as things stand, the outlook
for the rest of the financial year is encouraging within our core
business with revenue and adjusted profit before tax expected to be
at the higher end of market expectation due, in part, to favourable
currency movements.

INDEPENT REVIEW REPORT TO OMEGA DIAGNOSTICS GROUP PLC
Introduction
We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set
of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the
six months ended 30 September 2016 which comprises the Consolidated
Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet,
Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow
Statement and the related explanatory notes 1 to 7. We have read
the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report
and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or
material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set
of financial statements.
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with
guidance contained in International Standard on Review Engagements
2410 (UK and Ireland) "Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the
Auditing Practices Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the
company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we
have formed.
Directors' Responsibilities
The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and
has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible
for preparing the Interim Report in accordance with the AIM Rules
issued by the London Stock Exchange which require that it is
presented and prepared in a form consistent with that which will be
adopted in the company's annual accounts having regard to the
accounting standards applicable to such annual accounts.
As disclosed in Note 1, the annual financial statements of the
group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the
European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included
in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in
accordance with the AIM Rules issued by the London Stock
Exchange.
Our Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on
the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly
financial report based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of
Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor
of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in
the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information
consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other
review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an
audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on
Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to
obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant
matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do
not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements
in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30
September 2016 is not prepared, in all material respects, in
accordance with the accounting policies outlined in Note 1, which
comply with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union and in
accordance with the AIM Rules issued by the London Stock
Exchange.

Notes to the Interim Report
for the six months ended 30 September 2016
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
For the purpose of preparing the March 2016 annual financial
statements the Directors used IFRS as adopted by the EU and in
accordance with the AIM Rules issued by the London Stock Exchange.
In preparing these interim financial statements, the same
accounting policies have been used as set out in the Group's Annual
Report for the year ended 31 March 2016. The Group has not applied
IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, which is not mandatory for AIM
companies, in the preparation of these interim financial
statements.
The interim financial statements are unaudited but have been
formally reviewed by the auditors and their report is unqualified.
The information shown in the consolidated balance sheet as at 31
March 2016 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in
Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006 and has been extracted from
the Group's 2016 Annual Report which has been filed with the
Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on the financial
statements contained within the Group's 2016 Annual Report was
unqualified and did not contain a statement under sections 498 (2)
and 498 (3) of Chapter 3, Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. These
interim financial statements were approved by the Board of
Directors on 21 November 2016.
The Group has a GBP1.7 million overdraft facility expiring in
May 2017 which is fully expected to be renewed. This, together with
the award of a GBP1.8m grant from Scottish Enterprise, a
cash-generative core business and the application of working
capital discipline, allows the Group to maintain cash levels within
its business to meet its short and longer-term objectives. As a
consequence, the Directors believe that the Group is well placed to
manage its business risks successfully and capitalise on the new
product opportunities despite continued uncertainties with the
macroeconomic outlook. The Directors have a reasonable expectation
that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to
adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the
interim financial statements.
2. SEGMENT INFORMATION
For management purposes the Group is organised into three
operating divisions: Allergy and Autoimmune, Food Intolerance and
Infectious Disease and Other.
The Allergy and Autoimmune division specialises in the research,
development, production and marketing of in-vitro allergy and
autoimmune tests used by doctors to diagnose patients with
allergies and autoimmune diseases.
The Food Intolerance division specialises in the research,
development and production of kits to aid the detection of immune
reactions to food. It also provides clinical analysis to the
general public, clinics and health professionals as well as
supplying the consumer Food Detective test.
The Infectious Diseases division specialises in the research,
development and production and marketing of kits to aid the
diagnosis of infectious diseases.
Corporate consists of centralised corporate costs which are not
allocated across the three business divisions.
Inter segment transfers or transactions are entered into under
the normal commercial conditions that would be available to
unrelated third parties.

weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the
year.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit
attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Group by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the
year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would
be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary
shares into ordinary shares. Diluting events are excluded from the
calculation when the average market price of ordinary shares is
lower than the exercise price.

7. POST BALANCE SHEET EVENT
We have recently been approached by our Allersys licensor
(Immunodiagnostic Systems Holdings plc "IDS") with a view to
changing the nature of the commercial relationship with the
Company. This could extend to the acquisition of all or part of our
Allergy Business.
Given the lack of clarity on IDS's intentions, we continue to
reflect the carrying value of the Allergy Business in line with our
Accounting Policies.
Under the terms of the 2011 agreement, the license can be
terminated by IDS should they wish to do so. We believe that it is
in both parties' interests to explore all the possibilities of a
new commercial relationship and to avoid a situation whereby there
are no winners should IDS exercise their right to terminate the
contract/license.
