Feedback PLC (FDBK) – Full year results to May 31 and prospects for the current year
Feedback Plc (FDBK) – Final results for the year ended 31 May 2016 and notice of Annual General Meeting
Feedback plc is pleased to announce its final results for the year ended 31 May 2016.
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2016
We are pleased to present the results for the year ended 31 May 2016. Revenue for the year was £431,454 (2015: £381,970) and the loss after tax was £183,156 (2015: Loss £1,111,433). Cash as at 31 May 2016 was £105,673 (31 May 2015: £63,261). Cash as at 13 October 2016 was £94,629.
The results show growth in revenue and a substantial reduction in the loss after tax. Cash generation has been better than anticipated and reflects payments received from customers in respect of purchase orders before revenue is recognised. Cambridge Computed Imaging Limited (“CCI”) performed steadily during the year as it continued to serve its established customer base. Revenue recognised from TexRAD research version sales was higher than in the previous year. In line with management’s expectations, there was a reduction in new purchase orders for TexRAD research versions during the year although there remained a good deal of customer interest from research institutions which were looking to obtain grant funding. Dr Balaji Ganeshan continued to lead the sales effort and his hard work has led to a high level of orders received after the year end from world-renowned institutions carrying out oncology research. The Company has also signed collaborative agreements with companies in Japan and South Korea to explore further selling opportunities in these markets for TexRAD research versions which has had some success. In order to support our research customers we have been looking at ways to assist them in analysing and interpreting the results of their studies. We are working on one such project and this could prove to be a useful additional source of revenue in the future. Dr Ganeshan has been continuing his work supporting research into new potential applications of TexRAD. This has led to the publication of scientific papers on TexRAD’s use in assessing different types of carcinomas as well as a number of presentations at scientific conferences including the Beijing Society of Radiology in China and participation in Healthtech Week in Auckland, New Zealand.
Alliance Medical Group MoU
In November 2015 the Company announced that it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Alliance Medical Group with the intention of integrating Feedback’s TexRAD texture analysis software into Alliance’s PET-CT lung cancer imaging service. The Company has made good progress on a technical solution that would allow the integration of TexRAD into Alliance’s network of PET/CT scanners in UK hospitals and a prototype version has been demonstrated to potential users. The next steps will include applying for a CE mark for a medical device which provides analysis of lung PET/CT images with added prognostication through TexRAD. An abstract has been accepted by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) for presentation at its annual conference in November 2016 which will highlight the results from the technical and clinical evaluation. Further abstracts publishing the research findings of our customers using TexRAD have also been accepted for presentation at RSNA.
Stone Checker Software Ltd and Prostate Checker Ltd
During the financial year the Company formed two joint venture companies, Stone Checker Software Ltd and Prostate Checker Ltd. Both companies offer the prospect of developing innovative solutions where routine medical images can provide useful additional information for clinicians. The Company sold its 50% equity interest in Stone Checker Software Ltd to Free Association Books Ltd in May 2016 resulting in a gain of £45,000.
Future Processing Sp collaboration
After the year end Feedback announced a large-scale collaboration with Future Processing Sp. z o.o., a software development service provider based in Gliwice, Poland to develop medical imaging software. The collaboration will entail a substantially increased development team working on new products and the sharing of intellectual property and future revenues. This collaboration has resulted from Feedback’s assistance with a successful EU grant application made by Future Processing. The directors of Feedback believe that by CCI working jointly with the Future Processing healthcare team, CCI’s existing product portfolio can be improved and new products developed more rapidly including further applications for TexRAD. Although at this stage only a non-binding letter of intent has been agreed, the intention is for the Company to agree formal licences for new software products to be brought to market in 2017/18 under a shared revenue arrangement. In the current financial year, the Company expects to make substantial savings in software development costs and thereafter expects to benefit from its share of the revenue from sales of new products.
Dr Alastair J Riddell appointed as Chairman
On 1 June 2016, after the year end, the Company announced my appointment as its new chairman with Tom Charlton moving to non-executive deputy chairman. I have extensive experience of managing companies in the healthcare sector and I look forward to assisting the Company to the next stage of its development.
TexRAD – ongoing growth
We remain encouraged by the continued interest shown in TexRAD and the number of research papers being published which highlight its numerous potential applications. The high level of purchase orders for TexRAD research versions which have been received after the year end should lead to a substantial increase in revenue in the second half of the 2016/17 year and growth in revenue for the year as a whole. We believe there will be opportunities to make further sales of TexRAD research versions in China by partnering with a company with a strong local presence. We are also considering other business relationships which could increase sales of TexRAD research versions in other territories. In addition to the TexRAD sales, Feedback now has the opportunity to grow its revenues through the collaboration with Future Processing and the development of a CE marked product for analysis of lung PET/CT images. We will look at investing in product development, regulatory and marketing resource to support our very positive growth prospects.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2016
1. General information
The Company is a public limited company domiciled in the United Kingdom and incorporated under registered number 00598696 in England and Wales. The Company’s registered office is Unit 5, Grange Park, Broadway, Bourn, Cambridgeshire, CB23 2TA.
The Company is admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. These Financial Statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on the 18 October 2016.
2. Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards
No new International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), amendments or interpretations became effective in the year ended 31 May 2016 which had a material effect on this financial information.
At the date of approval of this financial information, the following IFRS Standards and Interpretations, which have not been applied in these Financial Statements, were in issue but not yet effective. These new Standards, Amendments and Interpretations are those in issue but not yet effective which are expected to apply to the Group and are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after the dates shown below:
IFRS Standards and Interpretations issued (and EU adopted) but not yet effective:
o IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective periods beginning 1 January 2018)
o IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective periods beginning 1 January 2018)
o IFRS 16 Leases (effective periods beginning 1 January 2019)
The Group has not early adopted these amended standards and interpretations. The Directors do not anticipate that the adoption of these standards and interpretations will have a material impact on the reported results.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with those IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations issued and effective or issued and early adopted as at the time of preparing these statements. The policies set out below have been consistently applied to all the years presented.
No separate income statement is presented for the parent Company as provided by Section 408, Companies Act 2006.
(b) Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of Feedback plc and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the years ended 31 May 2015 and 2016 using the acquisition method.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from them, are eliminated. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, after initially being recognised at cost within the consolidated balance sheet. The Group’s joint ventures did not trade in the year.
(c) Going Concern
The Directors consider that the Group and the Company are likely to have access to adequate cash resources for at least the next twelve months from the date of this report from a combination of operational cash generation and by obtaining equity finance from the financial markets or by way of loans from the major shareholders. The Directors believe that the company is a going concern and have therefore prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.
4. LOSS PER SHARE
. Basic earnings per share is calculated by reference to the loss on ordinary activities after taxation of £195,631 (2015: £1,111,433) and on the weighted average of 203,514,709 (2015: 190,746,746) shares in issue.

In accordance with the accounting policies and IFRS the Directors have assessed the carrying value of the intangible assets. In the year ended 31 May 2015, the Directors took the prudent decision to write down the carrying value of the software development costs in the balance sheet in order to meet the requirements of IFRS. During the year ended 31 May 2016 all similar development costs have been expensed as incurred. However, the Directors believe the Group’s technology has great potential and this write down does not reflect their commercial assessment of the value of the Group’s intellectual property. Expenditure on software development is being written off as incurred until the provisions of IFRS are met. The customer lists and patents are deemed to have ongoing value to the Group.

11. NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (“AGM”) AND AVAILABILITY OF REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company hereby announces that its AGM will be held at the offices of Allenby Capital Limited, 3 St Helen’s Place, London EC3A 6AB at 10.00 a.m. on 23 November 2016.
The Company’s Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 May 2016 are expected to be posted to shareholders, along with the Notice of AGM, on 26 October 2016 and will be available thereafter at the Company’s registered office, Unit 5 Grange Park, Broadway, Bourn, Cambridgeshire CB23 2TA and on its website: http://www.fbk.com/category/financial-reports/
Feedback (FDBK) sells stake in Stone Checker Software Ltd
Feedback plc (FDBK) is pleased to announce that it has agreed to sell its 50% equity interest in Stone Checker Software Ltd to Free Association Books Limited, a company connected to one of Feedback’s directors, Trevor Brown, for a cash consideration of £46,000.
Feedback invested £1,000 in Stone Checker in July 2015 and subsequently licensed its TexRAD software to Stone Checker for exclusive use in urolithiasis (kidney stones). On 28 September 2015, Feedback announced the intention to develop a product incorporating TexRAD for kidney stones. It was further stated that the vision of Stone Checker was to develop a composite risk stratification software product incorporating TexRAD CT texture analysis with other known clinical markers. This integrated product could potentially assist urologists and radiologists to provide better patient management and treatment decisions for improved patient outcomes.
Stone Checker is making good progress and is reaching the stage where it will require substantial additional investment. Feedback has already announced that it is committing significant resources in developing a lung cancer stratification tool in conjunction with Alliance Medical Group. Accordingly, although urolithiasis could be an exciting application for TexRAD, the directors of Feedback are of the opinion that they should focus investment in TexRAD’s use in oncology. The sale of the equity interest in Stone Checker will generate a profit of £45,000 before expenses. Feedback will continue to receive royalty and licence payments should Stone Checker achieve commercial success. The sale proceeds will be used by Feedback for general corporate purposes.
Stone Checker is currently a pre-revenue company which made a loss before tax for the period ending 29 February 2016 of £154.
Related Party Transaction
Trevor Brown is a director and substantial shareholder in Feedback. Dr Balaji Ganeshan is a director of Stone Checker representing Feedback and is expected to remain a director of both Feedback and Stone Checker after the Disposal. Accordingly, the Disposal constitutes a related party transaction pursuant to Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies (“AIM Rules”). The other three directors of Feedback have no direct involvement in Stone Checker and are not related to the purchaser of Feedback’s holding and are therefore deemed to be independent under the AIM Rules for the purposes of considering the related party transaction (the “Independent Directors”). The Independent Directors, having consulted with Allenby Capital Limited, the Company’s nominated adviser, consider that the terms of the disposal are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company’s shareholders are concerned.

Feedback (FDBK) – Interim Results for 6 months ended 30 Nov 2015
Feedback PLC (FDBK) – Interim Results for the six months ended 30 November 2015
Chairman’s Statement:
We are pleased to present the interim results for the six months ended 30 November 2015. Revenue for the six month period was £225,000 (2014: £229,000) and the loss after tax was £143,000. (2014: loss of £219,000). The loss before interest, tax and amortisation was £132,000 (2014: Loss £138,000). The cash balance as at 30 November 2015 was £164,000, (2014: £268,000).
The interim results show a small reduction in the loss for the period on similar levels of turnover to 2014. Cambridge Computed Imaging Limited again performed steadily as it continued to serve its established customer base. Revenue recognised from TexRAD research version sales in the six months was higher than in the comparable period in 2014, reflecting the contract wins that took place shortly before the end of the previous financial year. Revenue for the second half of the current financial year from TexRAD is also expected to be higher than in the comparable period. In line with management’s expectations, we have sold fewer research versions of TexRAD in recent months although there remains a good deal of customer interest from research institutions who are currently seeking grant funding. The Company has recently signed collaborative agreements with companies in Japan and South Korea to explore further selling opportunities in these markets for TexRAD research versions. The Company has also been looking to provide more support to research customers to assist them in analysing and interpreting the results of their studies. We have recently started work on one such project and this could prove to be a useful additional source of revenue in the future. Dr Balaji Ganeshan has been continuing his work supporting research into new potential applications of TexRAD. This has led to the publication of twelve peer-reviewed papers over the last year as well as a number of presentations at scientific conferences, including the Society of Cardiac MR Annual Scientific Sessions in Los Angeles last month.
In November 2015 the Company announced that it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Alliance Medical Group with the intention of integrating Feedback’s TexRAD texture analysis software into Alliance’s PET-CT lung cancer imaging service. The technical discussions have made good progress. A pilot implementation is currently underway and a retrospective study on a sample of studies with known clinical outcomes has shown promising preliminary results. The next stage will be to integrate with Alliance’s internal systems and evaluate our solution with multiple sites across the Alliance network. It is also anticipated that an abstract will be submitted to the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) for intended publication at its annual conference in November 2016 which will highlight the results from the technical and clinical evaluation. Our development work with Alliance is considered to offer great potential as regards the future commercialisation of TexRAD software. Alliance and Feedback plan to undertake a multi-centre imaging research study to assess the use of TexRAD in lung cancer, with the eventual aim of gaining inclusion of texture analysis in the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence Lung Cancer pathway.
In 2015 the Company formed two joint venture companies, Stone Checker Software Ltd and Prostate Checker Ltd. These companies are at the stage of testing prototype versions of software containing TexRAD plug-ins, firstly on sample data sets and then on larger data sets. Both companies offer the prospect of developing innovative solutions where routine medical images can provide useful additional information for clinicians.
The Board believes the future for Feedback is hugely promising and we look forward to working closely with Alliance and developing our other collaborative ventures. We expect revenue in the second half of the current financial year to be broadly similar to the first half result. Operating expenses have been significantly reduced so when compared to the last financial year, the results for the current financial year are expected to show higher revenue and a reduced operating loss.

4 AVAILABILITY OF THE INTERIM REPORT
Copies of the report will be available from the Company’s office and also from the Company’s website www.fbk.com
Feedback PLC – Announces final results & appoints Dr Balaji Ganeshan & Mike Hayball to the board
Feedback plc is pleased to announce its final results for the year ended 31 May 2015.
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
We are pleased to present the results for the year ended 31 May 2015. These are the first full year results to include the trading of the two medical imaging companies, Cambridge Computed Imaging Limited (‘CCI’) and TexRAD Limited, (‘TexRAD’) both of which we acquired in May 2014. Revenue for the year was £381,970 (2014: £7,250) and the loss after tax was £1,111,433 following the write down of intangible assets of £689,142 (2014: Loss £470,654). The Directors have considered it prudent to write down the carrying value of the intangible assets in the balance sheet in order to meet the requirements of IFRS. However, the Directors still believe the Company’s technology has great potential which will generate ongoing revenue and attract new collaboration partners. Cash as at 31 May 2015 was £63,261 (31 May 2014: £874,432) ahead of the placing announced on 3 June 2015 which raised £200,000. Cash balances at 31 October 2015 stood at £210,076.
The early part of the period saw the bedding in of the acquisitions with a focus on establishing the quality process and serving the existing customer base. CCI’s business was a steady performer attaining ISO 13485, the international standard relating to quality management systems for organisations involved in the manufacture of medical devices as well as adding further resource to the regulatory team. CCI provides all the regulatory, technical and development support to TexRAD while maintaining its principal business of supporting Papworth Hospital, Cambridgeshire with its PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System). TexRAD, our texture analysis software product for analysing images from CT scans, was granted a European patent thus extending its portfolio of protected intellectual property.
There has been a focus on developing strategic collaborations for TexRAD while continuing the sales of research versions to world-leading research institutions. During the year, TexRAD has been purchased by institutions including ELK in Berlin, Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff, University of Tokyo Department of Radiology at the Institute of Medical Science in Japan, CHU de Reims in France and Seoul National University Bundang Hospital in South Korea, among others. The company was also delighted to announce on 9 September 2015 that TexRAD had completed its first sale to China with an installation at Peking University Medical College Hospital, Beijing. We have also worked closely with leading research groups with a view to commercialising TexRAD for specific applications. Since the year end and following the highly encouraging early results from a retrospective study into TexRAD’s potential use in the treatment of urolithiasis (formation of kidney stones), the Company formed a joint venture company, Stone Checker Software Ltd (‘Stone Checker’). Stone Checker will use our intellectual property in conjunction with other biomarkers to develop an integrated product to assist clinicians to determine which stones are most likely to respond to shock wave lithotripsy. We have, in the new financial year, formed another joint venture company, Prostate Checker Ltd to target a more effective method of diagnosing and assessing treatment options for prostate cancer.
Our collaborations with leading medical institutions are progressing well. Professor Ken Miles at the Diagnostic Radiology department at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane, Australia has been doing valuable work in examining TexRAD’s potential for inclusion in radiology workflow, particularly in assisting treatment decisions and improving patient management in lung cancer. Professor Choi at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, USA will be assessing TexRAD’s effectiveness for patients with kidney and adrenal cancers. Dr. Andrew Smith’s work on metastatic kidney cell cancer at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi, USA using TexRAD has been presented at the annual meeting of the Society of Computed Body Tomography and Magnetic Resonance in Toronto, Canada. McGill University Hospital in Montreal, Quebec, Canada will be focussing on breast cancer and appraising TexRAD’s use as a supplementary tool in digital mammography to achieve better patient management.
We continue to work with Imaging Endpoints II, LLC to serve the clinical trials market in the United States. We have recently delivered the latest version of our TexRAD clinical trials software with extra features and we are now working towards achieving 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. The last year has seen strong competition in the clinical trials market to win the available business from pharmaceutical companies. Nevertheless TexRAD is expected to be used in a study of colorectal cancer patients (stage IIIc) being treated with Bayer’s drug Regorafenib after adjuvant FOLFOX. Having re-evaluated the Company’s previous strategy for seeking FDA approval for TexRAD, the board now recognise that there are significant commercial opportunities available to Feedback if TexRAD were to be used in conjunction with other biomarkers to create integrated products for specific clinical applications. These products could then be marketed much more effectively to clinicians compared with a general software application. We may also prioritise CE marking in order to accelerate development of commercial products for the European markets. As a consequence of this new focus, FDA approval for TexRAD is no longer regarded as one of the Company’s principal corporate objectives.
Board Reorganisation
The Company today announces a reorganisation of the board of directors with immediate effect. Simon Barrell steps down from the Board to devote more time to his other business commitments. Tom Charlton becomes non-executive chairman and we welcome two of the senior management team, Dr Balaji Ganeshan and Mike Hayball to the plc board. In addition we are delighted to announce the appointment of Dr Alex Menys as a non-executive director. Dr Menys is a researcher at University College London and chief executive of Motilent Ltd, a developer of advanced medical imaging software aimed at maximising the effectiveness of radiology in the evaluation of gastrointestinal function.
We are very encouraged by the continued interest shown in TexRAD and the number of research papers being published which highlight its numerous potential applications. In order to generate optimum value for shareholders we shall be looking to support our collaboration partners and invest further in our newly-formed joint venture companies. The year ahead will also see the Company selling fewer research versions of TexRAD as we focus on setting up more joint venture companies and collaborations targeting specific applications for TexRAD’s clinical use to provide the foundation for TexRAD’s future commercial success.

Notes to editors:
TexRAD (is a novel sophisticated imaging risk stratification research tool that analyses the textures in existing radiological scans. This research software application analyses textures, detecting and measuring tumour heterogeneity (complexity) from these images, revealing more information from medical images than it is currently possible to see with the naked eye. Research to date has shown that TexRAD could potentially assist the clinician (as an ‘Imaging Biomarker’) in confident decision-making: assessing the prognosis, disease severity (e.g. risk of metastases) and response evaluation of patients with cancer. Currently TexRAD research has shown great potential in many different oncological sites, including, colorectal, breast, lung, prostate, oesophageal, head & neck, lymphoma, liver and renal cancers and could potentially be employed as a heterogeneity assessing tool in the era of ‘Precision and Personalized Medicine’. TexRAD is manufactured under licence by the ISO 13485 certified company Cambridge Computed Imaging Ltd, a subsidiary of Feedback plc. More information is available on www.fbk.com and www.texrad.com.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2015
1. General information
On 19 May 2014 the Company acquired two subsidiaries in the medical imaging sector, Cambridge Computed Imaging Limited and TexRAD Limited.
The Company is a public limited company domiciled in the United Kingdom and incorporated under registered number 00598696 in England and Wales. The Company’s registered office is Grange Park, Broadway, Bourn, Cambridgeshire, CB23 2TA.
The Company is listed on AIM of the London Stock Exchange. These Financial Statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on the 5 November 2015.
2. Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards
No new International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), amendments or interpretations became effective in 2015 which had a material effect on this financial information.
At the date of approval of this financial information, the following IFRS Standards and Interpretations, which have not been applied in these Financial Statements, were in issue but not yet effective. These new Standards, Amendments and Interpretations are those in issue but not yet effective which are expected to apply to the Group and are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after the dates shown below:
IFRS Standards and Interpretations issued (and EU adopted) but not yet effective:
- IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective periods beginning 1 January 2018)
- IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective periods beginning 1 January 2018)
The Group has not early adopted these amended standards and interpretations. The Directors do not anticipate that the adoption of these standards and interpretations will have a material impact on the reported results.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with those IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations issued and effective or issued and early adopted as at the time of preparing these statements. The policies set out below have been consistently applied to all the years presented.
No separate income statement is presented for the parent Company as provided by Section 408, Companies Act 2006.
(b) Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of Feedback plc and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the years ended 31 May 2014 and 2015 using the acquisition method.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from them, are eliminated. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.
(c) Going Concern
The Directors have produced forecasts which show that the Group and Company have adequate cash resources for at least the next twelve months from the date of this report and the Directors believe the Group could obtain further equity finance from the financial markets to support its re-evaluated corporate strategy, if required. The Directors believe that the company is a going concern and have therefore prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.
4. LOSS PER SHARE
. Basic earnings per share is calculated by reference to the loss on ordinary activities after taxation of £1,111,433 (2014: £470,654) and on the weighted average of 190,746,746 (2014: 132,912,773) shares in issue.

The costs related to the acquisitions of £164,000 were recognised as part of the administration costs, although shown separately, in the statement of comprehensive income in the year to 31 May 2014. The subsidiaries contributed £7,000 of revenue to the group and no profit or loss in the period since acquisition.
In 2014, had the subsidiaries been part of the Group for the full year from 1 June 2013, Group revenue would have been £364,000 and Group loss would have been £471,000 for the year ended 31 May 2014.
None of the goodwill arising on consolidation is tax deductible.

In accordance with the accounting policies and IFRS the Directors have assessed the carrying value of the intangible assets. Following their assessment the Directors have taken the prudent decision to write down the carrying value of some of the intangible assets in the balance sheet in order to meet the requirements of IFRS. However the Directors believe the Group’s technology has great potential and this write down does not reflect their commercial assessment of the value of the company’s intellectual property. Future expenditure on software development will be capitalised once the provisions of IAS 38 are met or written off as incurred until the provisions are met. The customer lists and patents are deemed to have ongoing value to the group.

Feedback PLC – Dr Balaji Ganeshan talks to DirectorsTalk about Stone Checker JV.
Dr Balaji Ganeshan, Chief Scientific Officer at Feedback (FDBK) talks to DirectorsTalk about a new JV with UKUA forming the company “Stone Checker Software Ltd”.
Feedback PLC announces it has licensed TexRAD to Stone Checker
Feedback plc (FDBK), the medical imaging software company, previously announced on 13 April 2015 that it had signed a research agreement with the Oxford Stone Group at the University of Oxford & Oxford University Hospital NHS Trust, UK to investigate the potential future clinical application of Feedback’s TexRAD texture analysis software on computed tomography (CT) image data of patients with kidney stones. On 11 May 2015, Feedback announced the pilot results from a preliminary feasibility study.
A larger retrospective validation study comprising 90 patients carried out by the Oxford research team led by Mr Ben Turney (Bernard Senior Clinical Researcher in Urology at the University of Oxford and Honorary Consultant Urological Surgeon) is currently under way.
Following these studies, Feedback is pleased to announce the incorporation of a 50:50 joint venture company “Stone Checker Software Ltd” with U.K. Urology Associates Limited (UKUA) to commercialise the specific application of TexRAD texture analysis in Urolithiasis. To facilitate this, Feedback Plc has granted a licence of TexRAD intellectual property to Stone Checker.
UKUA has expertise in a wide range of technology applications in the specialist Urology field. This knowledge extends from the development and distribution of novel medical equipment for both benign and malignant urological diseases through to the use of software in urodynamics. The team comprises an experienced group of healthcare technology innovators.
The vision of Stone Checker is to develop a composite risk stratification software product following stringent clinical standards and regulatory standards. TexRAD CT texture analysis will be incorporated with other known clinical markers to develop an integrated product which would potentially assist urologists and radiologists to provide better patient management and treatment decisions for improved patient outcomes. There is a large potential worldwide market for a non-invasive risk stratification tool based on the common occurrence of kidney stones around the world.
Mr Jeevan Virk, Chief Operations Officer of UKUA commented: “The opportunity to collaborate with Feedback plc in the development of a specific urological software is hugely exciting and will provide enormous benefits to patients who will receive appropriate therapy, clinicians who will be able to optimise their use of time and improve success rates, and the healthcare payers who will no longer have to pay for high failure rates in lithotripsy. It is unusual to have a product which fully lines up to provide benefits to the whole clinical team, but this is the promise of Stone Checker software.”
Dr. Balaji Ganeshan, Chief Scientist & New Business Officer of the Company’s subsidiaries TexRAD Ltd & Cambridge Computed Imaging Ltd commented: “We are delighted with the formation of a new JV company with UKUA, Stone Checker Software Ltd, to develop a novel composite clinical score based software product dedicated to the management of kidney stone patients.”
