CEO Review
We are pleased to present the year-end report for the fiscal year 2023. Despite facing a relatively soft last quarter, we are proud to report a solid overall growth of 3% in our business compared to the previous year. Our device business segment is very cyclical which makes it challenging in comparing quarters unlike in our software business segment which delivers relatively stable revenue stream over the quarters. The year 2023 presented a mix of opportunities and hurdles, with the pending FDA clearance for artificial intelligence powered Aurora-AEYE AI fundus camera being a significant focus for the company.
Our financial performance for the full year 2023 reflects a steady growth trajectory compared to the previous year. Despite encountering challenges in the last quarter due to the absence of large one-off deals, our overall performance remains good. We attribute this growth to strategic investments in product development, marketing efforts, and expanding our market reach.
Throughout 2023, we continued to prioritize innovation and product development to meet the evolving needs of our customers. We continued our R&D efforts to develop both in software and hardware segments products and services aimed at improving diagnostics and patient care. Additionally, we focused on strengthening our distribution channels and forging strategic partnerships to enhance our market presence.
The last quarter of 2023 presented challenges, with comparable results from the previous year proving to be particularly demanding. However, we remained resilient and agile in our approach, adapting to market dynamics and leveraging opportunities for growth. Despite these challenges, we are confident in our ability to overcome obstacles and drive sustainable growth in the coming years.
One of the key targets of 2023 was the pending FDA clearance for our Aurora- -AEYE AI fundus camera. While the resolution was not achieved by the end of the fiscal year, the process is going forward. This clearance will not only validate the efficacy and safety of our product but also open new avenues for revenue generation and market expansion.
Looking ahead, we are cautious but optimistic about the prospects for
In conclusion, despite facing challenges in the last quarter, 2023 was a satisfactory year for
Sincerely,
CEO

Risks and uncertainties
AURORA AEYE FDA CLEARANCE PROCESS
PUBLIC PROCUREMENT
In addition to its healthcare customers,
The new contract with the agency is subject to a public procurement process. There is a risk that the Company fails to win the procurement process and the new contract. In case the Company fails to win the new contract, the impact on 2024 revenue is expected to be approximately
PANDEMICS
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to widespread lockdowns and had significant effects on the supply chain and revenue streams of various companies.
The Company may be adversely affected if a new outbreak of COVID-19 or another disease causes a new pandemic and lockdowns.
HIGH QUALITY PRODUCTS
The quality and safety of the Company's products are extremely important for
The Company may be adversely affected if it fails to continuously develop and update its fundus cameras and software solutions or to identify or integrate new products and product platforms into its offering. The Company's or its partners' products may also be subject to clinical trials, the results of which are critical for the products' regulatory approvals and market acceptance.
STRATEGY AND M&A
The Company may be unsuccessful in fulfilling its strategy or the strategy itself may be unsuccessful
The successful implementation of the Company's strategy depends upon a number of factors, some of which are completely or partially outside the Company's control. The Company has an appropriate risk management function in the context of the size of the Company's operations, however, it may not be able to identify or monitor all relevant risks and determine efficient risk management procedures and responsible persons that may again affect the strategy. The Company is also dependent on its ability to develop and manage varying routes-to-market for its products, the efficiency of its sales channels and its customer and distributor relationships. Further, the Company has an opportunistic view on M&A which by nature include inherent risks. Failure of strategy may force the Company to record write-downs on its goodwill.
MARKET AND COMPETITION
EXTERNAL ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL RISKS AND NATURAL DISASTERS
The Company is exposed to natural disasters taking place in countries where it operates and general and country specific economic political and regulatory risks, which could entail volatile sales in key markets.
SUPPLY CHAIN
The Company is dependent on contract manufacturers for functioning, efficient and effective production and product assembly. Further, the Company is dependent on suppliers which may affect the Company's ability to supply its customers in a timely manner.
SYSTEMS AND INFORMATION
Our operations are increasingly dependent on IT systems
Disruption of the Company's IT systems could inhibit our business operations in a number of ways, including disruption to financial reporting, sales, production and cash flows.
LITIGATION
TRADE SECRETS AND PATENTS
The technologic capabilities are a competitive advantage that the Company must be able to protect
The Company may not be able to protect its trade secrets and know-how which could lead to losing the competitive advantage the Company has. At the same time, the Company maybe forced to take actions against parties that violate our IPRs.
TALENT & ORGANISATION
A skilled workforce and agile organisation are essential for the continued success of our business
The Company may be adversely affected if it would lose its key personnel or fails to attract the right talent.
FINANCE
The Company needs external financing to operate and is not currently profitable
The Company is dependent on external financing and the Company may have difficulties accessing additional financing on competitive terms or at all which may again contribute the Company's liquidity risks. The Company is also subject to credit and counterparty risks through its trade receivables.
FOREX
We operate globally and are thus exposed to currency exchange risks
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange rate risks arising from fluctuations in currency exchange rates, especially with regards USD, EUR and RMB. Currency rates, along with demand cycles, can result in significant swings in the prices of the raw materials needed to produce our goods and our sales prices and OPEX.

Selected notesCorporate information and basis of accounting
Corporate information
The Group's parent company,
Basis of accounting
Optomed's consolidated financial statements has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the
All presented figures have been rounded so the sum of the individual figures may differ from the presented total figure.
Financial ratios have been calculated using exact figures.
This report has been authorized for issue by the company`s board of directors.
Critical management judgments and related estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements under IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other justified assumptions, such as future expectations, that Optomed management believes are reasonable under the circumstances at the end of the reporting period and the time when they were made.
Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis and when preparing financial statements. Changes in accounting estimates may be necessary if there are changes in the circumstances on which the estimate was based, or as a result of new information or more experience. Such changes are recognized in the period in which the estimate or the assumption is revised.
Use of judgment and estimates
During the 2023 the Russian invasion of Ukraine has not had a material effect on Optomed's business as the sales to the area have been limited.
Judgements that management has made in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements, relate to the following areas:
-- Determining trade receivables credit risk
-- capitalisation of development costs: determination of development expenditure eligible for capitalisation
-- impairment testing of development expenditures
