Q3/17 report November 13, 2017
Analyst
Adrian Kowollik
InfoSCAN (IST) is a Polish company, which has developed a telehealth device for diagnostics of breathing disorders during sleep.
The MEDRecorder device, which already has the CE registration for European Union, is currently used by 25 hospitals and clinics and generates recurring
revenues from rent and per exam. While in Europe future growth should be
positively impacted by an EU directive, which obliges doctors to send candidates for drivers to a sleep apnea exam if they could be affected, the
market entry in the US is dependent on FDA approval. In the US, the number of respective exams amounts to >3.5m per year. In contrast to Poland, where
it only equals 13k, these exams are reimbursed by public and private health
insurances.
Sleep apnea is a disorder, which is characterized by pauses in
breathing or periods of shallow breathing during sleep that is
followed by loud snoring. It affects 1%-6% of adults and 2% of children (only in the US, >43m people suffer from it). If it is not treated, it can lead to
other health problems e.g. diabetes, stroke, heart attack or failure, obesity, fatty liver disease. InfoSCAN has developed a telehealth device, which allows
to conduct an overnight sleep study at home, thus is an improvement of an already known method, which saves costs and patients’ time as the patient
does not need to go to the doctor or clinic anymore. The so-called
MEDRecorder collects the data of the patient and sends it to InfoSCAN’s central server, where a technical report is created. The patient’s doctor can analyze
the report and the data with InfoSCAN’s own cloud-based software MEDium24.
The market for sleep apnea is estimated at USD 4.6bn with a CAGR 16-21E of 7.8%. In order to exploit its knowledge in the area of telemedicine
and diversify revenues, InfoSCAN has developed a prototype of a Holter ECG device for use at home, which it plans to introduce on the market at the end of
2018E upon receiving the necessary approvals. The global market for ECG is
forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% to USD 6.5bn in 2025E.
We initiate coverage of InfoSCAN with a FV of PLN 9.80 per share. We
like that IST has a very low cash burn of PLN 70k/month and its MEDRecorder,
which is already registered in the EU, and will likely receive FDA approval in H1/18E. While we believe that the expansion to the US might require an
additional capital increase in 2018E, there is additional upside from the new Holter ECG product, which we have not included in our model.

Investment Case
• InfoSCAN (IST) is a Polish company, which has developed a telehealth device for
diagnostics of breathing disorders during sleep. The MEDRecorder device, which already
has the CE registration for European Union, is currently used by 25 hospitals and clinics
and generates recurring revenues from rent and per exam. While in Europe future
growth should be positively impacted by an EU directive, which obliges doctors to send
candidates for drivers to a sleep apnea exam if they could be affected, the market entry
in the US is dependent on FDA approval. According to e.g. Novasom, the number of
sleep apnea exams in the US amounts to >3.5m per year (>43m Americans suffer from
this disorder). In contrast to Poland, where it only equals 13k, these exams are
reimbursed by public and private health insurances.
• Sleep apnea is a disorder, which is characterized by pauses in breathing or periods of
shallow breathing during sleep that is followed by loud snoring. It affects 1%-6% of
adults (especially men in the age group 55-60 years) and 2% of children. If it is not
treated, it can lead to other health problems e.g. diabetes, stroke, heart attack or
failure, obesity, fatty liver disease. InfoSCAN has developed a telehealth device, which
allows to conduct an overnight sleep study at home, thus is an improvement of an
already known method, which saves costs and patients’ time as the patient does not
need to go to the doctor or clinic anymore. The so-called MEDRecorder, which has
already completed >1,500 commercial exams with a success rate of 98%, collects the
data of the patient and sends it to InfoSCAN’s central server, where a technical report is
created. The patient’s doctor can analyze the report and the data with InfoSCAN’s own
cloud-based software MEDium24.
• The market for sleep apnea is estimated at USD 4.6bn with a CAGR 16-21E of 7.8%. In
order to exploit its knowledge in the area of telemedicine and diversify revenues,
InfoSCAN has developed a prototype of a Holter ECG device, which targets a global
market that is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% to USD 6.5bn in 2025E. Upon
receiving the necessary approvals, the company plans to start sales of this device at the
end of 2018E.
• In H1/17, InfoSCAN’s generated revenues of PLN 36k and EBIT of PLN -1.1m, which
was negatively affected by tests at laboratories in the US and preparation of the FDA
filing. In our view, H2/17E will additionally be affected by costs relating to activities
relating to the planned start of sales in North America (foundation of a subsidiary, trade
mission). Thus, for full-year 2017E, we expect sales of PLN 87k and EBIT of PLN -2.3m.
However, while costs will be impacted by registration of the Holter ECG and marketing
of the MEDRecorder in the US (EBIT of PLN -6.2m), revenues in 2018E should already
reach PLN 1.1m. We expect that the break-even on EBIT level will be reached in 2020E.
• We initiate coverage of InfoSCAN with a Fair Value of PLN 9.80 per share. We like that
IST has a very low cash burn of PLN 70k/month and its MEDRecorder, which is already
registered in the EU, and will likely receive FDA approval in H1/18E. While we believe
that the expansion to the US might require an additional capital increase next year, our
model does not include sales of the Holter ECG device from 2019E.

Valuation
Due to the company’s early-stage character we have decided to value InfoSCAN by using a
DCF approach only. This results in a fair value per share of PLN 9.80. We would like to
emphasize that due to the relatively low equity as of 30/06/2017 (PLN 1.3m), development
of the Holter ECG device and planned investments in international distribution there is a risk
that InfoSCAN will have to conduct another capital increase soon.

Recent results
Revenues and Profitability
In H1/17, InfoSCAN had revenues of PLN 36k, which stemmed from provision of diagnostic
services and leasing of telehealth devices. The reason for the 9.8% decline y-o-y was a lack
of R&D orders from third parties.

Between January and June 2017, EBIT reached PLN -1.1m (H1/16: PLN -638k) and net
income PLN -1.1m (PLN -633k). The largest cost position were CoGS of PLN 840k (H1/16:
PLN 419k), which comprise external services. Other expenses included Personnel costs of
PLN 170k (PLN 121k), Depreciation and Amortization of PLN 97k (PLN 112k) and Other
operating expenses incl. travel costs of PLN 80k (PLN 80k).
Balance sheet and Cash flow
As of 30 June 2017, InfoSCAN had equity of PLN 1.3m, which had a share of 78.5% in the
balance sheet total. While fixed assets were very small (PLN 51k) as the company
outsources most of work, intangibles (software, patents, licenses) equaled PLN 400k.
Working capital amounted to PLN 614k. At the end of H1/17, InfoSCAN had no interest-
bearing debt.
Between January and June 2017, InfoSCAN generated an operating cash flow of PLN -1.6m,
which resulted from the net loss. According to our calculation, cash flow from investing and
financing equaled PLN -24k and PLN 2m respectively. We believe that the company’s current
monthly cash burn amounts to PLN 70k, which is at least 60% lower than of similar listed
Polish telehealth companies.

Financial forecasts
Revenues and Profitability
Although the company was already founded in 2007, it has only been generating revenues
since 2012, when it received the CE registration for European Union. Currently, InfoSCAN is
only operating in Poland, where it works together with 25 clinics and has so far conducted
>1,500 commercial exams relating to description of breathing problems during sleep. While
in Poland there are only 13k exams conducted per year that (at least for now) are not
reimbursed by the public and private health insurances, we expect that InfoSCAN’s results
will significantly be boosted from H1/18E, when the company will likely receive the FDA
approval. In the US, which is by far the largest healthcare market worldwide, the number of
exams relating to sleep apnea amounts to >3.5m per year. Moreover, in contrast to Poland
the exams, which are only conducted in c. 2,500 sleep labs, are reimbursed by all major
health insurances e.g. Medicare.
Apart from the US, InfoSCAN plans to concentrate its international distribution efforts only
on the UK, where sleep apnea exams are reimbursed by public or private health insurances.
In addition, the company plans to look for distribution partners, which could also take over a
significant portion of marketing activities in the respective countries. We highly appreciate
this approach, which in our view is more efficient and less risky from shareholder’s
perspective.
Apart from its MEDRecorder, through its 100% subsidiary cardio.link Sp. z.o.o InfoSCAN is
also working on a Holter ECG, whose development is financed by a subsidy of PLN 12.7m
and which is supposed to be introduced on the market in H2/18E. While the market for ECG
is large, we believe that competition in this area is very intense. We have not accounted for
it in our valuation model as the product is still in the prototype phase and needs to be
registered in order to generate sales.
Below is our sales model for InfoSCAN. For the MEDRecorder device, we have assumed that
it will generate revenues in two ways: First, monthly fees from leasing the devices, and
second, fees per exam. Both will be generated based on contracts with unlimited duration.
Moreover, retail clients, who sign up through InfoSCAN’s website, as well as B2B clients, who
oblige to conduct a certain number of exams per month, might not have to lease the
MEDRecorder device. As our model only takes into account Poland and the US, it is in our
view very conservative.

We have assumed a strong increase of devices and exams from 2018E due to the market
entry in the US and the realization of the Bialystok PLUS project (examinations relating to
sleep apnea on 5,000 people in co-operation with the Medical University in Bialystok in max.
72 months).

CAPEX and Working capital
In our model, we have assumed gross CAPEX of PLN 2.3m in 2017E-2019E, which in our
opinion will mainly increase intangibles due to the development of the Holter ECG and
improvements of the MEDRecorder. We have forecast that working capital will grow by PLN
4.2m in 2017E-2019E and will amount to >20% of total sales in the long run (cash
conversion cycle of 60 days). As InfoSCAN outsources production of its MEDRecorder device
and uses an external warehouse, there will be no inventories visible on its balance sheet.
We expect that in order to finance the development of the Holter ECG the subsidiary
cardio.link Sp. z.o.o will soon conduct a capital increase. However, we believe that InfoSCAN
will continue to control 60% of the subsidiary and consolidate its results.

What is sleep apnea?
According to Wikipedia.org, sleep apnea is a sleep disorder, which is characterized by pauses
in breathing or periods of shallow breathing during sleep. Each pause can last for a few
seconds to a few minutes and happen many times a night. In the most common form, this is
followed by loud snoring. There may be a choking or snorting sound as breathing resumes.
As it disrupts normal sleep, those affected may experience sleepiness or feel tired during the
day. In case of children, it may cause problems in school or hyperactivity.
There are three forms of sleep apnea: obstructive (OSA), central (CSA), and a combination
of the two called mixed. In OSA, which is the most common form, breathing is interrupted
by a blockage of airflow. In CSA, breathing stops due to a lack of effort to breathe. Most
people, who have sleep apnea, are not aware of their illness.
Sleep apnea is often diagnosed with an overnight sleep study. While 1-6% of adults are
affected and 2% of children, it affects men c. twice as often as women, especially those
between 55 and 60 years old. People with sleep apnea have problems with daytime
sleepiness, impaired alertness, and vision problems. OSA can increase the risk of driving
accidents and work-related accidents. If OSA is not treated, it can lead to more serious
health problems e.g. diabetes, stroke, heart attack or failure, obesity, fatty liver disease.

The MEDRecorder device and the MEDium24 system
InfoSCAN’s solution consists of the MEDRecorder telehealth device and the MEDium24 cloud-
based system for data analysis, which both were developed in-house. So far, the company
has distributed c. 25 MED Recorder devices to Polish clinics, where they conduct 1-4 exams
per month. In total, the device has completed >1,500 commercial and 180 clinical exams in
the last years at a significantly higher success rate than in case of similar non-telemedical
devices (98% vs. 85-88%).
The InfoSCAN MEDRecorder registers the following parameters, which are useful in the
diagnostics of breathing disorder during sleep: (1) ECG (2) blood saturation (3) pulse wave
(4) movements of the chest and stomach (5) position of the patient’s body and its
movements (6) air movements through lips and nose as well as (7) snoring intensity. In
addition, the device, which comprises a GPRS modem that allows real-time data
transmission, offers the possibility to conduct ECG, holter/event holter ECG and online ECG
monitoring exams.

How does the exam with the MEDRecorder look like?
Source: Company information, East Value Research GmbH
During the exam with the MEDRecorder, which must take at least six hours without a break,
the parameters of the patients are transmitted to InfoSCAN’s data center, where the
company’s medical experts can analyze them with the company’s web-based platform
MEDium24. The system collects the data from the MEDRecorder, aggregates and stores it.
Moreover, it is able to filter and analyze them with its own algorithms for the detection of
sleep apnea and heart arrhythmia. Finally, the complete analysis is sent to the patient’s
physician.
Distribution strategy
The InfoSCAN MEDRecorder received the CE certificate, which allows the distribution in the
European Union, from TÜV Nord in January 2012. The approval was renewed after the audit
in December 2016. However, the company’s strategy foresees a concentration on Poland and
only the most promising international markets, namely the US and UK. These countries are
most developed when it comes to diagnostics of sleep apnea and the respective exams are
reimbursed by local health insurances.
To date, InfoSCAN has only been operating in Poland, where it has acquired 25 hospitals and
clinics as clients (B2B channel), but also sells its MEDRecorder device through an own online
shop (B2C). With regard to international sales, management’s focus is now on the US, which
is the largest health market worldwide and where >3.5m exams (Poland: 13k) relating to
sleep apnea are conducted per year. Upon approval of the MEDRecorder by the FDA, which
InfoSCAN will likely receive in H1/18E (the application has already passed the formal phase),
the company wants to start the distribution of its device through operators of so-called
“sleep labs”.
“Sleep labs”, of which there are c. 2,500 in the US, are facilities, where examinations relating
to breath disorder during sleep are conducted. Throughout North America, there are c. 100
companies, which manage them.

Production
With regard to production of the MEDRecorder device, InfoSCAN relies completely on three
outsourcing partners, which are based in Poland and are able to produce several 10
thousand devices per year each. While this strategy is risky as the company has not full
control over quality and the outsourcing partners also co-operate with other clients, it
reduces InfoSCAN’s CAPEX and working capital requirements significantly.
Holter ECG – New product
As part of the project “AMULET”, on which the company works together with a scientific
consortium comprised of Military Medical Institute, Military Technical Academy, 4. Military
Clinical Hospital with Polyclinic SP ZOZ in Wroclaw, Medical University in Gdansk and the
Medical University in Wroclaw, InfoSCAN develops a new Holter ECG telemedical device for
monitoring of heart disorder, which is currently in the prototype phase. After receiving the
necessary approvals, InfoSCAN wants to introduce it on the market in H2/18E. The costs of
the project of PLN 13m are almost entirely covered by a non-refundable research grant of
PLN 12.7m. The development of the Holter ECG is conducted through cardio.life Sp. z.o.o,
which is 100%-owned by InfoSCAN.
While the market for ECG is highly competitive (e.g. the Polish company Medicalgorithmics is
very successful with its product in the US), it is large, and the respective examinations are
usually reimbursed by health insurances. InfoSCAN believes that it will be able to compete
with its sophisticated algorithms, unique functions, and more user-friendly, energy-efficient
devices. Moreover, its system is supposed to be for 24-hour ECG examinations, whereas
those of its competitors are for exams that take several days.
The distribution and production strategy relating to the new Holter ECG is supposed to be
the same as in case of the MEDRecorder for sleep apnea (production will be outsourced;
InfoSCAN will charge either a monthly fee for rent + a fee per exam or only a fee per exam
if client obliges to conduct a certain number of exams per month). According to
management, there are already two clients, who would like to use the product.

Market environment
The global market for telemedicine
According to BCC Research, the global telemedicine market, which is segmented into the
areas Telehome (c. 55% of the market) and Telehospital/Clinic (45% share), is set to grow
from USD 23.8bn in 2016 to USD 55.1bn in 2021E (CAGR of 18.3%). The Telehome segment
is forecast to exhibit an above-average growth with a CAGR of 24%, which should allow it to
grow its market share to 60% by 2021E. According to Research and Markets, Europe will
likely maintain its position as the second-largest telehealth market worldwide after the US,
while Asia-Pacific (especially India, China and Japan) should exhibit the fastest growth.
The market for sleep apnea
According to Marketsandmarkets.com, the global market for sleep apnea devices was worth
USD 4.59bn in 2016 and is expected to grow to USD 6.7bn by 2021E (CAGR of 7.8%). The
largest segments are therapeutic devices (PAP devices, facial interfaces, oxygen
concentrators, adaptive servo-ventilation instruments, airway clearance systems etc.). The
respective oral appliances are expected to be the main growth driver going forward. Within
diagnostic devices (PSG devices, respiratory polygraphs, single-channel screening devices,
actigraphy systems), single-channel screening devices are projected to register the highest
CAGR in the coming years. Single-channel screening devices are non-invasive and painless
cardiorespiratory monitors that are used to assess the oxygen saturation level of arterial
blood.
MarketsandMarkets.com also expects that from all end-users of sleep apnea devices home
care settings, which also covers telehealth, will exhibit the highest CAGR by 2021E. While
North America and Europe were the No 1 and No 2 sleep apnea markets in 2016, Europe is
expected to grow the fastest in the coming years due to among others increasing funding
and grants for sleep apnea devices and treatment.

Global market for ECG
According to Research and Markets, the global ECG equipment market will reach USD 6.5bn
by 2025E, growing at a CAGR of 5.7%.
The global ECG equipment market by product is divided into three main segments: resting
system, stress system, and Holter monitor system. The market is driven by the growing size
of the geriatric population, rising incidences of lifestyle diseases, and technological
developments. With the development of better and safer, portable, power efficient ECG
devices that are more accurate, the market will be witnessing growth especially in resting
ECG and Holter monitor systems.
The North American diagnostic ECG market accounts for the highest share (c. 44%) and will
likely remain the No 1 in the future. APAC (Asia-Pacific) is expected to grow at a highest
CAGR (6.6%) over the forecast period.
