incorporate the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI):
§
FerriScan® - core-lab product that provides accurate measurement of liver iron concentration through noninvasive MRI-based technology, for use in the assessment of individuals with iron overload conditions.
Internationally recognised as the gold standard in LIC assessment.
§
FerriSmart® - AI-driven non-invasive MRI-based device for the automated real-time measurement of liver iron
concentration in patients.
§
HepaFat-AI® - AI-driven non-invasive MRI-based device for the automated real-time multi-metric measurement of
liver fat in patients, for use in the assessment of individuals with confirmed or suspected fatty liver disease.

Clinical Trial Ecosystem
Clinical Trials are central to the development of new medicines and vaccines to prevent and treat disease. They require the
coordinated action of numerous key stakeholders.
Service Providers
Pharma & Biotech Companies
Certain activities may be outsourced by Sponsors/CROs to
specialist 3rd party vendors, such as central pharmacy, central
laboratory testing, data management, centralised image analysis,
and electronic Participant Reported Outcome (PRO) assessments.
Global Pharma & Biotech companies fund clinical trials and are
usually called ‘Sponsors’. They have overall responsibility for the
conduct of the clinical trial including deciding the purpose of the
study and designing the trial to meet this purpose.
Resonance provides a centralised image analysis through its
SaMD business relating primarily to liver iron and fat
Resonance often consults to these groups assisting with trial
design & technical input in its various areas of specialty
Investigator Sites
Investigator Sites are responsible for the identification,
recruitment and management of participants during clinical trials.
The team usually comprises Principal Investigators, Clinical
Research Physicians, Research Nurses, Clinical Trial Co-ordinators,
Laboratory Assistants, Pharmacists and Clinical Trial Assistants.
TrialsWest runs some of Australia’s leading Investigator Sites
managing trials from feasibility through to study completion.
Regulatory Bodies & HRECs
All clinical trials undertaken in Australia must be reviewed and approved
by a Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC). HRECs must be
registered with the National Health and Medical Research Council
(NHMRC) and operate under a strict regulatory environment.
Clinical Trial
Ecosystem
Contract Research Organisation
Pharma/Biotech sponsors may outsource the management of
clinical trials to Contract Research Organisations (CRO). Clinical
trials conducted in Australia must also have an Australianbased entity who is legally responsible for the study (Local
CRO).
Resonance Clinical acts as a Local CRO in the delivery of
clinical trials focused on metabolic/liver function.
Participants
Australia is well regarded in the global clinical trial market given its fast
and clear regulatory approval pathway, high quality facilities and
workforce, data management integrity, and R&D Tax Rebates/Incentives.
Recruitment of willing participants is key to the success of any clinical trial.

1st Quarter FY25 Performance
ü Receipts from customers for the first quarter of $3.2M - up 186% or $2.07M from pcp FY23 of $1.12M,
ü Record cash receipts from customers over 12 months to 30 Sep 2024 of $10.2M up 133% or $5.8M from pcp to 30 Sep 2023
ü Uneven timing of revenue and costs relating the major global pharma clinical trial resulted in a small operating cash deficit in the
first quarter
ü TrialsWest revenue for the first quarter significantly up on prior period and expectations with several new trials commencing in
late 2024 and early 2025
ü First revenues from new trials commenced at new Osborne Park TrialsWest site in November 2024
8
Central Imaging Analysis (SaMD) Business
ü Analysis volumes and revenue increased in the SaMD business as compared to the prior year
ü Entered into several new clinical trial service agreements to offer SaMD products into clinical trials
as well as extending certain existing clinical trial service agreements
ü The extended Proof of Concept study being conducted for the Fibrosis SaMD product progressing
well with data collected on ~ 1/3rd of the required cases with positive early results
ü Ongoing development of software automation tools to assist our analysts in completing scans in
our service centre. If successful these tools will significantly increase analysis capacity, which is
particularly relevant for the successful launch of our Fibrosis product.
ü A new investigational tool to measure Spleen Iron on 3T machines has also been developed for a
clinical trial that has recently commenced
ü Work continues on the native integration of our SaMD products into our customers’ Picture
Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), that seeks to automatically anonymise, encrypt
and send jobs for analysis, and then return them to the PACS without the need for human
intervention. This tool is expected to be critical to high volume markets such as China, and the
launch of Fibrosis SaMD.
ü Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) central reading services are planned to be used as part of
the recent Resonance Clinical contract awarded. MRE is a scan done using an MRI that measures
Liver stiffness related to Fibrosis and requires post scan analysis similar to Resonance’s current
SaMD offerings. Expect that this MRE service once established will be offered to other clinical trial
customers who value central analysis.

Resonance Clinical (CRO) Business
ü Recent $13.78M contract illustrates success of CRO business strategy

Strong Path to Growth
There are several key near term drivers of growth
Early commercialisation of a non-invasive MRI Liver Fibrosis device
Completion of Extended Proof of Concept study which will allow the early commercialization of the device as
investigative use only into clinical trials whilst regulatory approvals are obtained for broader market release
New Geographies
Automation and AI products allow entry into large markets such as China’s “Health Check Clinics”. These will be
high volume lower price point screening services.
Win additional clinical trial work
Leverage our existing CRO work into further metabolic/liver clinical trial management services. Recent contract
win means total contract wins since Aug 2023 equal $20.1M. Well placed to benefit from the high growth GLP1
Agonist global market due to deep domain expertise in metabolic disease areas.
Expansion of the TrialWest network of investigator sites
Open new investigator sites in strategic locations within Western Australia and other states across Australia.
Third site planned south of Perth Q3 FY25. Overall plan is to open 2 sites per year allowing greater patient
recruitment from the same Pharma customers
Acquisitions
Targeted business acquisitions to increase capability or market share to drive revenue / profit growth
Greater share of
clinical trial ecosystem
Targeted sales and marketing activities within the clinical trial ecosystem for existing and new products
