3 The SphygmoCor Product What Does SphygmoCor Do? Addresses the key cardiovascular risks: Heart failure, Heart attack, Stroke Provides key heart function parameters of cardiovascular function and risk : Blood pressure at the heart Load on the heart Coronary artery pressure Timing of the heart pumping cycle, and Measures of arterial stiffening This central data is only otherwise available via an invasive catheter. 3

4 The SphygmoCor Product How Does It Work? SphygmoCor: Records the blood pressure pulse waveform at the arm, non-invasively Using this recording, it derives the blood pressure pulse waveform at the heart From this pressure pulse waveform at the heart, SphygmoCor then calculates: central aortic blood pressures certain key heart function parameters Compares these patient parameters against population normals to assess CV status 4

5 Recent Company Highlights Maiden NPAT FY13 - $2.7m ($1.5m excl. tax rebates and grants) FY13 sales $9.1m - 41% growth pcp Record sales Pharma trials, USA Research & Clinical Cash flow positive for 5 consecutive quarters US FDA clearance for next generation product-xcel XCEL certified as excellent to European Artery Standards XCEL units placed since launch South African study demonstrates that central BP measurement can enhance clinicians ability to predict target organ damage 15 year Taiwanese study determines cutoff values for the values of Central BP for the diagnosis of hypertension. Australian study concludes using central BP to guide patient treatment results in the use of less medication to achieve blood pressure control. 5
