Directors of Enlitic, LLC a world leading US based medical AI company.
Mitchell Wells resigned as Managing Director and will remain as a non-executive director on the Board of the
Company. The Board wishes to thank Mr Wells for his achievements during his tenure especially in relation
to numerous internal, operational, and technical continuous improvement projects.
Financial & Operating Performance

total customer receipts for FY23 of $4.33M, versus customer receipts for FY22 of $3.53M, a 23% increase.
The Company received $486K R&D tax incentive refund related to FY22 R&D in the quarter and along with
strong receipts from customers this resulted in a net positive operating cashflow of $279K for the quarter
and a small deficit for FY23 of ($157K).

With respect to item 6 of the Appendix 4C cash flow report for the quarter, payments to related parties of
approximately $116K were made during the quarter. This comprised of $70K remuneration paid to Mr
Mitchell Wells as Managing Director and the balance was paid to non-executive directors.
Liver MRI Fibrosis Extended Proof of Concept
The Company continues to make progress on its extended proof of concept (EPoC) for MRI Liver Fibrosis with
agreements nearing completion to commence EPoC studies with international trial sites. In person meetings
were held with one of the proposed trial sites with them strongly in support of commencing the EPoC as soon
as possible following Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) approval.
The EPoC studies, if successful, will allow for continued engagement with pharmaceutical companies
developing treatments for chronic liver disease, particularly Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), to
further assess the commercial potential of the technology. The Company attended the European Association
for Study of the Liver (EASL) and European Hematology Association (EHA) conferences in Europe during the
quarter and engaged with international key opinion leaders (KOLs) and pharma companies active in fibrosis.
International advocacy associations and regulators, including the United States Food & Drug Administration
(US FDA) and the LITMUS consortium (Liver Investigation: Testing Marker Utility in Steatohepatitis) in the EU,
continue to highlight the urgent need for development of new, validated non-invasive biomarkers to assess
liver fibrosis to accelerate drug development in NAFLD – the most common cause of chronic liver disease in
North America.
HepaFatSmart® US FDA Clearance
The Company received regulatory clearance from the US FDA to market its improved AI-trained liver-fat
assessment software-as-a-medical device (SaMD) in the USA, HepaFatSmart®. HepaFatSmart® will replace
HepaFat-AI® in the United States which received US FDA regulatory clearance in December 2020.
HepaFatSmart® automatically analyses magnetic resonance images (MRI) for the quantitative assessment of
a patient’s liver fat. Specifically, it provides clinicians with three liver fat biomarkers: volumetric liver fat
fraction (VLFF), proton density fat fraction (PDFF), and a steatosis grade.
Other Product Innovations
Work continued on validating a materially shortened MRI imaging protocol for FerriScan® and FerriSmart®
with a targeted 75% reduction in patient MRI scanning time, thereby improving patient experience, and
increasing scanner throughput. All datasets required for completion of this work were received during the
quarter and the final validation of the initiative will soon commence.
Continuing on from the technical and market success of FerriScan® extension to newer 3 Tesla (3T) field
strength MRI machines in August 2022, work continued on development of a 3T version of the Company’s
Cardiac-T2* cardiac-iron assessment SaMD with technical development now complete and validation
underway, and documentation being prepared for a regulatory submission in the coming months.
Resonance Clinical & Clinical Trials
The Company continued development of its clinical trial capability and revenue expansion strategy during
the quarter, with conversations progressing with international pharmaceutical companies engaged in or
looking to engage in clinical trials in Australia. Several business development leads were progressed during
the quarter with a particular focus on a large potential clinical trial to be performed in Australia, utilising a
range of the Resonance Group’s services.
