The first half results meet our expectations, with income growth and operating income slightly improved.

The 2014 first half income thus amounted to €697 K, an increase of 27% over the first half of 2013. This is divided between €466 K for clinical trials and €230 K for routine practice.
Operating expenses were mainly for payroll; amounting to €2,069 K. Operating profit came to -€2,220 K. After taking into account financial charges, net profit came to - €2,219 K.
As of June 30, 2014, the company had €1.06 M in cash, with €1.8 M of financial debt and negative equity of €3.3 M. In October 2014, the company carried out a reserved capital increase operation of €20 M conducted by NEA (New Enterprise Associates), an American investment company and world leader in the field of health. Following this transaction, the equity of the company now stands at €16.7 M.
CLINICAL TRIALS 23% INCREASE IN THE BACKLOG
The first half of the year was marked by an increase in the backlog for clinical trials. These orders came to €1.6 M, of which €1.8 M are binding contracts and €-0.2 M project awards*. For the record, orders during the first half of 2013 came to €2.9 M.
It should be noted that orders have fully resumed since the announcement of the success of the reserved capital increase. MEDIAN Technologies has thus confirmed the signing of a binding contract and new project awards for a total of €1.6 M in September alone, following the announcement of the capital increase.
Overall, in the 9 months from January 1st, 2014 to September 30, 2014, new orders have increased appreciably, reaching €3.3 M, of which €2.8 M in binding contracts and € 0.5 M in the form of project awards.
MEDIAN Technologies is continuing to reinforce its recognition and reputation, particularly targeting the "big pharma” top 10, intensifying the direct marketing of its solutions and services.
ROUTINE PRACTICE TARGETING THE MAJOR NATIONAL SCREENING PROGRAMS
In its routine radiological practice activity, MEDIAN Technologies continues to focus on national screening programs. Discussions are underway to provide support for lung cancer screening campaigns in the Gulf and Asia.
"Our marketing efforts in the area of recognition and reputation on both our markets are beginning to be reflected in our financial results, and we can already see strong acceleration since the Capital increase. We will not see the all results of our marketing efforts until 2015 and beyond. We are confident that we will be able to win new clinical trial projects and to sign a contract for a large national screening program,” says Fredrik Brag, CEO of MEDIAN Technologies.
[*] A project award notifies a company that their solution has been selected for a given project. A binding contract is then signed within the 18 months following the award, upon confirmation of the upstream clinical results.
