continued support and we look forward to an exciting year
ahead."

Chairman's Report
This year I am reporting on a year of significant investment and
internal achievements. Despite challenging market conditions that
arose during the year we continued to make progress to position the
Company for long-term sustainable growth.
The conflict in Ukraine and, consequently, inflation and
shifting confidence put significant pressures on healthcare budgets
and spending. Coupled with this, we have to also acknowledge that
in China, the largest export market for the Group's products in the
previous year, the pandemic was still problematic. The authorities
determined that the best way to deal with this terrible disease was
further lockdowns, making trade with China more difficult than in
previous years. This also disrupted supply chains for both
logistics and materials sourced.
The Group delivered revenues that were marginally ahead of
FY2022 at GBP41.2m (FY2022: GBP41.1m), which reflected growth
outside of China and Russia, traditionally important markets for
the Group. When I look back and see the issues that were thrown at
us, (along with many other companies), I am proud that we achieved
much and invested in the business to ensure that we are in better
shape now than we were a year ago.
EBITDA, before non-recurring items, was lower than the previous
year at GBP4.0m (FY2022: GBP6.4m) primarily because of sales mix
and its effect on gross margin. Notably we sold more Infusion
Therapies Distributed Products into the UK market and less Branded
ventilators due to global market uncertainties. This switch was a
direct result of the external environment mentioned above.
There was a GBP13.1m cash outflow in the year resulting in a
closing net cash position of GBP(3.8)m, driven by investment in the
new Manufacturing and Technology Centre in Croydon, an increased
inventory level to ensure continuity of supply and customer service
levels and increased debtors from strong fourth quarter revenues.
Higher than planned spend at the Manufacturing and Technology
Centre was due to high construction cost inflation, an earlier than
expected payment and specification changes. These specification
changes will however deliver long-term cost savings. We delivered a
positive cash flow position in Q1 FY2024, in line with our
plan.
Our new Manufacturing and Technology Centre has enabled us to
close our Crawley office at the end of January 2023, and in April
2023 we informed the staff affected that we will be closing our
Leicestershire facility. From these closures, we will see
additional operational efficiencies. We have identified further
initiatives within the business, that will improve our cash-based
operating expenses going forward.
It is important to emphasise that, although we are focused
strategically on the neonatal intensive care sector, we have always
had a broad portfolio which provides resilience to the business.
This was demonstrated during the year when slowdown in
international sales was offset by increased revenues in our
Domestic market.
Investing for Growth
Our most notable investment is in our new Manufacturing and
Technology Centre in Croydon, which was the home of SLE Ltd, a
company we acquired in 2020. Maintaining the highly skilled
workforce was paramount and it was important to find a site
suitable for high tech manufacturing, along with the facilities we
need as a fully integrated company (including research and
development and technology support). Now with approximately 4,200
sq metres (50% more space than the previous Croydon site), the
state-of-the-art design allows for more efficient warehousing and
laboratories for product development and testing, along with
creating a modern working environment for our employees. I am
pleased to say that we completed the move in the first half of the
year with no accidents and with only one day of lost production.
The site is now fully operational and helped us deliver a record
month at the end of our financial year.
The Manufacturing and Technology Centre has been developed with
the future in mind. We have incorporated a number of energy-saving
initiatives; solar panels on the roof help provide hot water and
power to our air source heat pumps for heating the buildings, roof
lights have been maintained which allow us to use low energy
lighting and in the summer months turn off lighting altogether.
With the addition of trees and plants that produce no resins or
pollens and do not attract aphids, carbon dioxide is naturally
processed within the building, reducing the number of air changes
needed and hence reducing the energy required for heating and
cooling. Numerous other initiatives have been incorporated and we
feel that this is a true demonstration of what can be achieved by
smaller British manufacturing companies.
Our employees are at the heart of the company and in addition,
we have implemented sit/stand desks throughout, modern work benches
for manufacturing and technology support, electric charging points
for electric cars, open plan break out areas for informal meetings
and, of course a safe environment that would minimise disruption in
the event of another Covid-19 outbreak, with ultra-violet and
HEPA-filtered air handling alongside modern communication
facilities that allow for a true clear desk policy.
Ahead of New Regulatory Requirements
Around the end of 2022, the European Commission proposed, and
subsequently enacted, to delay the implementation of some aspects
of the new Medical Device Regulations, relieving some pressure on
the Notified Bodies. The UK Government has also postponed the
introduction of regulatory legislation. Our team has been worked
hard, mainly in our Research and Development and regulatory groups,
updating our technical documentation, writing new reports that are
required by the new regulations and finally submitting all our
Technical Files to our Notified Body for their review ahead of this
deadline. It has been a huge amount of work and was completed
before the announcement of the postponement of the deadlines.
However, the sooner the files were submitted, the sooner the
products would be approved to the latest regulations, and we take
comfort in knowing our technical documentation is up-to-date.
Bringing the companies together is quite a complex regulatory
challenge, aligning quality management systems to work efficiently.
This has been helped by the implementation of Trackwise Digital,
our new software tool for helping our document management
compliance, which has received positive feedback from our Notified
Body.
Our market seems to be returning to normal with activity at our
biggest trade shows returning close to pre-pandemic levels. We had
a strong presence at both shows we attended enabling our
international sales and marketing team to meet distributors
face-to-face for the first time, in some cases, since pre-Covid. We
have been rolling out a number of marketing initiatives around
branding, bringing more aligned messages across the three operating
companies in the Group and launched a new website that went live at
the end of February 2023.
Strengthened Team
During the year we improved the management of our supply chain,
with the critical appointment of Francesca Stenhouse as Head of
Procurement and Supply Chain. This role is pivotal in working with
our suppliers, including internal and external logistics, to drive
efficiencies in our business. The year has been difficult for our
suppliers and I thank them for their support during the year.
Without their assistance we would not have been able to produce the
products we did and, although we invested in component stock, our
suppliers helped with their understanding of the situation.
Jon Ballard our Chief Financial Officer, resigned during the
year. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Jon for his
hard work over the past five years and wish him all the very best
for the future. Paul Bergin joined the Company as Interim CFO and
the recruitment for a new permanent CFO is expected to conclude in
the Summer of this year.
Our employees have endured a tough year. I can only thank them
all for their support of the company during the last 12 months and
we hope that we can all enjoy a better year ahead.
Positioned for Future Growth
Although the external disruptions to supply chain and markets
remain, we have been able to adapt to, and cope with, this new
environment. We have introduced more resilience into our supply
chain and this has helped our ability to ease our customers through
these uncertain times with the robust assurance of our quality and
excellence of our life saving products.
Following a strong Q4 FY2023, the year has commenced in line
with our plans. While uncertainties remain, we are cautiously
optimistic that we will return to our usual growth patterns.
The Group's world leading expertise, broad portfolio of
best-in-class, specialist products and established customer
relationships enables us to address the critical needs of the
neonatal intensive care market and help save lives and improve
outcomes of premature and sick babies around the world. We have a
clear growth strategy focused on maximising in-market sales,
geographic and portfolio expansion and strategic M&A and we
believe we are well placed to realise our long-term ambition of
becoming a world leading provider of innovative medical
technology.

Going concern basis
The Group provides essential equipment to the NHS, to private
healthcare providers and to distributors who provide the equipment
to other healthcare systems internationally. With a focus on
neonatal intensive care the use of the Group's products is not
something that can be reduced by election or choice.
Although the Group has no information to suggest such a scenario
might occur, it has modelled a significant downside scenario based
on its main risks, including a significant downturn in forecast
revenue of 15%. If such a scenario occurred, the Group would
implement procedures to reduce overheads and if necessary, utilise
the remaining undrawn Invoice Discounting Facility and Revolving
Credit Facility (due for renewal June 2024).
As at 31 March 2023 net cash of the Group was (GBP2.0m), and
there was cash headroom of GBP8.0m. The Group has access to
borrowing facilities of up to GBP10.0m. Consequently, the Directors
believe that the Group has sufficient liquidity to meet obligations
as they fall due up to the end of May 2024 and consider it
appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going
concern basis.
Operating and Financial Review
I am pleased to report on the Group performance for the
financial year ended 31 January 2023 ("FY2023").
REVENUE
Group revenue increased 0.4% to GBP41.2m (FY2022: GBP41.1m).
Group Domestic revenue increased by 13% to GBP19.9m (FY2022:
GBP17.6m) primarily driven by continuing growth in Infusion
Therapies, partially offset by the planned exiting of domestic
service revenue from distributed ventilation products.
Macro-economic uncertainty, particularly in China, as well as the
geopolitical consequence of the conflict in Ukraine, resulted in
International revenue reducing overall by 9% to GBP21.3m (FY2022:
GBP23.4m).
It is worth highlighting that 31% of full year revenue was
generated in the fourth quarter. This expected increase in our
order inflow and subsequent delivery of product was driven by
increased Domestic and International capital purchases,
particularly of ventilators.
BRANDED PRODUCTS
Branded Products revenue grew 8% to GBP24.4m (FY2022: GBP22.5m)
driven by the fourth quarter increase in ventilator sales, referred
to above, and also due to the planned exit of distributed products
following the acquisition of SLE Ltd. This growth was despite the
impact of global market uncertainty on certain export markets.
DISTRIBUTED PRODUCTS
Distributed Products revenue was flat year-on-year at GBP13.6m
(FY2022: GBP13.6m). Continued growth in our Infusion product range
was offset by the planned exit from third-party ventilator sales.
These third-party ventilators are being replaced with SLE
ventilators in the UK and Ireland, contributing to an increase in
Branded Products.
TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT
Technology Support revenue reduced 37% to GBP2.9m (FY2022:
GBP4.6m). This reduction was impacted by the planned exiting of
third-party ventilators and the Tecotherm cooling device change of
service arrangements related to its end of life. Group total
revenue also includes GBP0.3m of freight (FY2022: GBP0.4m).
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit of GBP18.1m was 12% lower than the prior year
(FY2022: GBP20.6m). With revenue broadly flat, this reflected a
gross margin reduction from 50.2% to 43.9%. This reduction was
driven by the mix of products in different territories and a lower
revenue from Technology Support which is at high margins.
OPERATING PROFIT
The Group reported Adjusted Operating Profit (before
non-recurring items) of GBP1.6m (FY2022: GBP4.3m).
Administrative expenses were broadly flat year-on-year at
GBP16.5m (FY2022: GBP16.3m), despite the highly inflationary
macro-economic environment.
There were GBP1.2m of non-recurring items in the year (FY2022:
nil), comprising GBP0.5m of leased property impairment relating to
the consolidation of our property portfolio following the move to
the new Manufacturing and Technology Centre, GBP0.5m of aborted
acquisition costs and GBP0.2m of other costs (see note 4).
This resulted in an Operating profit, post non-recurring items,
of GBP0.4m (FY2022: GBP4.3m).
Adjusted EBITDA reduced to GBP4.0m (FY2022: GBP6.4m). With
revenue and administrative expenses broadly flat year-on-year, this
reduction was primarily driven by the mix of products in different
territories. Adjusted EBITDA margin reduced from 15.6% to 9.7%.

Taxation
The Group has recorded a tax credit of GBP196,000 (FY2022:
GBP271,000).
Earnings Per Share ("EPS")
Basic EPS and diluted EPS were 0.40p per share and 0.39p per
share, respectively (FY2022: 6.22p and 6.16p).
Adjusted basic and diluted EPS (before non-recurring items) were
2.99p and 2.95p, respectively (FY2022: 7.11p and 7.04p).
Cash Flow
Net cash (cash and cash equivalents less the Company's Revolving
Credit Facility "RCF" and invoice financing facility) was GBP(3.8)m
as at 31 January 2023 (FY2022: GBP9.3m). The GBP13.1m decrease in
the year was driven by the investment in the new Manufacturing and
Technology Centre in Croydon (including an earlier than expected
payment), increased inventory levels to ensure continuity of supply
chain and customer service level, higher debtors due to strong
fourth quarter revenues and non-recurring items.
Net cash flows used in operating activities was a GBP3.5m
outflow (FY2022: GBP3.6m inflow), with the decrease reflecting the
increased working capital level, referred to above, as well as
lower profitability.
Cash outflow on investing activities was GBP8.3m (FY2022:
GBP4.0m) of which GBP2.0m related to capital development
expenditure and the majority of the balance to investment in the
new Manufacturing and Technology Centre. There was also GBP1.3m of
financing outflows.
The Group has a GBP5m RCF in place and during December 2022
entered into an invoice discounting facility of up to GBP5m. As at
31 January 2023, GBP4.0m of the RCF and GBP2.1m of the invoice
discounting facility were utilised. Total headroom as at 31 January
was GBP6.2m.
Net Assets
The value of non-current assets as at 31 January 2023 totalled
GBP30.8m (FY2022: GBP25.1m). The net GBP5.7m year-on-year increase
mostly relates to investment in the new Manufacturing and
Technology Centre.
Inventory increased to GBP9.9m (FY2022: GBP6.4m) which was
impacted by the need to secure components to ensure continuity of
supply chain. Trade and other receivables increased by GBP2.6m to
GBP11.9m (FY2022: GBP9.3m), reflecting a planned strong fourth
quarter order and revenue level. Trade and other payables decreased
by GBP0.8m to GBP5.8m (FY2022: GBP6.6m).
Net Assets remained flat at GBP35.5m as at 31 January 2023.
Dividends
The interim dividend of 0.205p per share (FY2022: 0.205p) was
paid on 28 December 2022. The Board is recommending a final
dividend of 0.41p per share (FY2022: 0.41p) to make a total
dividend for the year of 0.615p per share (FY2021: 0.615p). If
approved by shareholders at the AGM, the final dividend will be
paid on 28 July 2023 to shareholders on the register on 30 June
2023.
Review of Business and Future Developments
On a Group basis the business review and future prospects are
set out in the Chairman's Report above.
Share Price During the Year
The range of market prices during the year from 1 February 2022
to 31 January 2023 was 52p to 113.5p and the mid-market price of
the Company's ordinary shares at 31 January 2023 was 52p.

------------------------------ ------- --------- --------- ---------
Effective tax rate (257.8) (6.9)
------------------------------ ------- --------- --------- ---------
The effective tax rate for FY2023 is lower than FY2022. This
decrease is largely due to the recognition of previously
unrecognised losses. The non-deductible expenses largely relate to
aborted acquisition costs incurred in the year.
Budget 2021 announced that the UK corporation tax rate was to
increase from 19% to 25% with effect from 1 April 2023. A small
profits rate of 19% applies for taxable profits of GBP50,000 or
less and a tapered rate will apply to companies with taxable
profits between GBP50,001 and GBP249,999. This provision was
substantively enacted on 24 May 2021 and the deferred tax balances
have been calculated at 25%.
(d) Factors that may affect future tax charges
The Group has gross unrecognised losses estimated at
GBP6,019,271 (FY2022: GBP6,019,271) which were transferred to the
Group due to the reverse acquisition of Inditherm. Brought forward
losses transferred to the Group due to the reverse acquisition are
potentially available for relief against future trading profits
generated from the same trade. See note 11 Deferred Tax, for more
information.
4 Non-recurring Items
During the year, the Group recognised the
following non-recurring items:
2023
GBP'000
Impairments of leased properties 446
Aborted acquisition costs 467
Other 245
-----------
Total Non-recurring items 1,158
-----------
Impairment of leased properties:
Following the move to our new Manufacturing and Technology Centre,
the Group took the decision to consolidate its property portfolio
and as a result, there was an impairment of our right of use assets
of GBP446,000, relating to our Crawley and former Croydon properties.
Aborted acquisition costs:
GBP467,000 were financial and tax due diligence work and consultancy
fees related to an aborted acquisition.
Other
GBP105,000 relates to project consultancy costs incurred in the
year. GBP140,000 were legal fees relating to a contract dispute.
5 Earnings per ordinary share
Basic earnings per share for the year is calculated by dividing
the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders for the year after
tax by the weighted average number of shares in issue.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the
weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue to assume
conversion of all potential dilutive ordinary shares.
FY2022 earnings per share have been restated as a result of the
Prior Year adjustment relating to deferred tax, please see Note 12
for further detail.

The Group tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or
more frequently if there are indications that the goodwill may be
impaired. The recoverable amounts of the cash-generating unit are
determined from value in use calculations. The key assumptions for
the value in use calculations are the discount and growth rates
used for future cash flows and the anticipated future changes in
revenue and costs. The assumptions used reflect the past experience
of management and future expectations.
The forecasts covering a five-year period are based on the
detailed budget for the year ended 31 January 2024 approved by
management. The cashflows beyond the budget are extrapolated for a
further four-year period based on future expectations. This
forecast is then extrapolated to perpetuity using a 2% (2022: 2%)
growth rate.
Annual growth rates for revenues for the five-year forecast
period have been included between 10% and 15% year-on-year and
costs between 5% and 10% year-on-year. A post-tax discount rate of
13% (2022: 13%) has been used in these calculations. The discount
rate uses weighted average cost of capital which is reflective of a
medical device Company operating both domestically and
internationally. A discount rate of 19% (2022: 31%) would need to
be applied for there to be zero headroom.
Sensitivity analyses have been performed on the carrying value
of all remaining goodwill using post-tax discount rates up to 13%.
Revenue growth would need to reduce by 4.1% year-on-year with no
change in cost growth assumptions for there to be zero
headroom.

Revolving Credit Facility
The Group has a GBP5m RCF facility in place, which expires in
2024 with the option to extend and attracts a 2.5% margin above
SONIA. During the year, the Group utilised GBP4m of the RCF
facility. Banking covenants of EBITDA / finance charges and net
debt / EBITDA are in place and are tested quarterly. All covenants
have been complied with during the year ended 31 January 2023.
Drawdowns can be made on a 1, 2 or 3 month basis which can be
rolled as required until the facility expires.
The movement in the RCF facility during the year was as

Invoice Financing Facility
During the year, the Group entered into an invoice financing
facility to borrow cash against notifiable trade receivables. The
arrangement with the bank is such that the customers remit cash
directly with the bank and invoices are settled against the
facility directly. The Group continues to bear the credit risk
relating to any defaulting customers and therefore the related
trade receivables continue to be recognised on the Group's
Statement of Financial Position.
11 Deferred tax
The following are the major deferred tax liabilities and assets
recognised by the Group and movements thereon during the current
and prior reporting year.
The Group has made a prior year adjustment in respect of the
FY2021 deferred tax asset arising on acquisition of SLE Limited.
This note has been restated accordingly. Please see Note 12 for
further detail of the prior year adjustment.
Note that the effective future tax rate is 25% (2022: 25%).

--------------------- ----- -----
At the year end date the Group had gross unused losses of
GBP15,248,186 (2022: GBP13,988,205) potentially available to offset
against future profits. Unused trading losses of GBP7,905,283
(2022: GBP6,645,302) arose in SLE Limited prior to the acquisition
by Inspiration Healthcare Group plc on 7 July 2020 and brought
forward losses transferred to the Group due to the reverse
acquisition of Inditherm plc amount to GBP7,342,903 (2022:
GBP7,342,903). The Group has received advice that these losses can
be carried forward and utilised against future taxable profits of
the same business from which they were generated. A streaming
methodology has been devised to estimate profits from the business
relating to Inditherm plc. This has been projected forwards and it
is estimated that taxable profits will be generated in the future
and consequently, a deferred tax asset has been recognised in
respect of these losses. A deferred tax asset has also been
recognised in respect of the brought forward losses transferred to
the Group following the acquisition of SLE Limited. A prior year
adjustment has been made to recognise a deferred tax asset to the
extent of the deferred tax liability relating to the intangibles
recognised on the acquisition of SLE Limited.
The amounts of deferred tax not
recognised are as follows:
2023 2022
GBP'000 GBP'000
Unused tax losses 1,505 1,485
Budget 2021 announced that the UK corporation tax rate was to
increase from 19% to 25% with effect from 1 April 2023. A small
profits rate of 19% applies for taxable profits of GBP50,000 or
less and a tapered rate will apply to companies with taxable
profits between GBP50,001 and GBP249,999. This provision was
substantively enacted on 24 May 2021 and the deferred tax balances
have been calculated at 25%.
12 Prior Year Adjustment
A Prior Year Adjustment has been made in respect of the Group's
deferred tax asset. In FY2021, the Group recognised a deferred tax
liability relating to taxable temporary differences that arose from
the recognition of intangibles on the acquisition of SLE Limited in
July 2020. At the time of the acquisition, a deferred tax asset was
not recognised. However, accounting standards require a deferred
tax asset to be recognised to the extent of the existing deferred
tax liability and therefore a deferred tax asset should have been
recognised in FY2021. This has been corrected by restating each of
the affected financial statement line items for prior periods. The
following tables summarise the impacts on the Group's Consolidated
Financial Statements.
