Summary and Outlook



During the last financial year we have delivered a significant increase in revenues and grown profits whilst making important investments for the long term growth of the business. We are absolutely delighted with the response to Daytona which we believe will be central to the international expansion of the business and will enable Optos to achieve a further major transition. Our growing body of clinical evidence demonstrates the critical importance of retinal diagnostics in the periphery. Looking forward to the next financial year, our priority will be to execute on Daytona and continue our expansion into the ophthalmology market with the 200Tx device.
