Research and Development.
During the first six months of Fiscal 2003, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, the Company capitalized certain computer software development costs. Technical feasibility was established on completion of working models for MedicHeart, MedicLung and MedicColon software products in January 2003. Subsequently, the Company capitalized costs of $545,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2003 under FAS 86. These costs capitalized comprised staff, consultants, regulatory and clinical trial costs specific to the three products.
Subsequently the Company decided that this accounting treatment was inappropriate because of the difficulty in assigning costs accurately to the various software products and versions being developed as technical and development staff are moved from product to product and version to version on a regular basis. The Company has decided to expend all research and development costs in Fiscal 2003. The Companys research and development costs of $469,000 are comprised of staff and consultancy costs expensed on the Medicsight system. The regulatory and clinical trial charges of $76,000 are expensed in Selling, general and administrative charges.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense.
During Fiscal 2000, the Company acquired an intangible asset from the former parent of Insights consisting of technology valued at $22,470,000. Under SFAS No.142, this is considered an intangible asset with a definite life of 5 years. Therefore the value of the asset was amortized on a straight-line basis over this period.
The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Companys assessment for impairment of an asset involves estimating the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. An impairment loss recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. During the third quarter of 2003 the Company reviewed the carrying value of the core technology acquired from Insights and decided that the core technology should be fully impaired. This was based on the view that there were no further software applications apart from the medical imaging applications currently being developed that could be derived from the core technology. The Company further decided that the impairment should be recorded as at December 31, 2002. In the three months ended March 31, 2003 the Company had an amortization charge of $1,123,000 expensed in Selling, general and administrative charges relating to the fully impaired technology which is no longer applicable.

PART 1
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements
Medicsight, Inc. and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this Report as the Company. For purposes of the discussion contained herein, all financial information is reported on a consolidated basis. The financial statements for the Companys fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004 are attached to this Report, commencing at page F-1.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
BACKGROUND
Our business objective is to conceive, develop and commercialize innovative medical applications, such as computer-aided detection (CAD) of disease, derived from our core technology through our majority-owned subsidiary, Medicsight PLC (MS-PLC).
We were originally incorporated as a Utah corporation in 1977. On December 19, 2000, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with our wholly owned subsidiary HTTP Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and thereby effected a re-incorporation of the company from Utah to Delaware. All references in this Annual Report to the Company, we or us refer to Medicsight, Inc., the Delaware corporation and subsidiaries, if the event occurred on or after December 19, 2000 or to HTTP Technology, Inc., the Utah corporation and subsidiaries, if the event occurred prior to December 19, 2000. On July 31, 2003 the Company reduced its authorized share capital from 100,000,000 shares to 25,000,000 shares. On January 27, 2004 the Company increased its authorized share capital from 25,000,000 shares to 40,000,000 shares.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2004 the Company issued approximately 5,126,000 restricted shares of stock raising $13.89m as part of a private placement. Subsequent to March 31, 2004 the Company has further issued approximately 1,241,000 restricted shares of stock raising $3.35m.
Our business is focused solely on the medical imaging applications derived from our core technology. We have concluded the process of incorporating all research, software development, and management and marketing activities related to our medical imaging initiatives into MS-PLC. In November 2001 assets were transferred from our other subsidiaries to MS-PLC and the costs incurred on the development of the MedicsightTM system (our state-of-the-art digital disease detection software system comprising MedicColonTM, MedicHeartTM, and MedicLungTM) were reimbursed and assigned by way of a loan note from MS-PLC. The amount of the loan note to Medicsight, Inc. was £3,659,104, and this loan note was converted into 57,868,582 ordinary shares of MS-PLC issued to the Company and 15,000,000 ordinary shares of MS-PLC issued to the former parent of Insights in November 2001.
On October 28, 2002, the Companys name was changed from HTTP Technology, Inc. to Medicsight, Inc.
The Company maintains its corporate offices at 46 Berkeley Square, London, W1J 5AT, United Kingdom, telephone +44-20-7598-4070, facsimile: +44-20-7598-4071, Internet address: www.medicsight.com.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
We are developers of software technology for medical diagnostic applications and provide medical diagnostic services (Computer Aided Detection - CAD applications) in differing business models. We have four principal operating subsidiaries: Medicsight PLC (MS-PLC), Medicsight Asset Management Limited (MAM), Lifesyne UK Limited (Lifesyne UK) and Medicsight US, Inc (MS-US) (previously Lifesyne US).
6
MS-PLC. Our majority-owned subsidiary, MS-PLC, is currently engaged in commercializing a state-of-the-art digital expert recognition software system for digital data derived from medical imaging hardware. At March 31, 2004, the Company owned 68,677,300 ordinary shares in MS-PLC, constituting 81.4% of the outstanding shares.
Lifesyne. Lifesyne is a wholly owned subsidiary of MS-PLC that was established in September 2002 for the purpose of providing a branded operating entity for the United Kingdom and Ireland markets. Lifesyne is the entity that operates the scanning centers located in the United Kingdom. As the Company has decided to focus on the delivery of the software no further development of the Lifesyne strategy is envisaged beyond the Companys current scanning requirements.
MAM. MAM is also a wholly owned subsidiary of MS-PLC that was established in September 2002 for the purpose of acquiring fixed assets on behalf of the operating entities in the group. MAM will negotiate and acquire equipment and fund leasehold improvements and development, which in turn will be leased to the relevant operating entity.
MS-US. MS-US (previously Lifesyne US) is also a wholly owned subsidiary of MS-PLC was established to co-ordinate operations in the United States of America and is based in Nashville, Tennessee.
It is now widely accepted that the most effective way to achieve early detection of the principal deadly diseases is through radiological scanning. The Medicsight system analyzes digital data from the new generation of multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) scanners and then provides information to enable the clinician to identify and characterize possible areas of abnormality. We believe that in the future the Medicsight system will be capable of reliably detecting isolated pulmonary nodules in the lung, calcification of the coronary arteries, polyps in the colon and other abnormalities indicative of disease. The potential advantage of the Medicsight system is that it increases precision and reliability while also providing scalability that will be cost-effective. The system uses its technology to provide tools to radiologists for the identification of possible abnormalities. The clinician will then apply his/her experience to determine the next steps in medical diagnosis and treatment. We believe that the Medicsight system will:
enable accurate and reliable scan analysis;
provide a service that will be significantly cheaper than at present as it reduces the burden on radiologists who in current practice account for a significant proportion of the scan cost; and
allow significant patient volume to be achieved because the analysis is semi automated and scanning volumes are not then constrained by the finite number of radiologists.
The step change in technology that increases the potential of the Medicsight system is the 16 detector CT scanner. This allows sub-millimeter cross-sectional slices to be captured with increased speed and reduced radiological dose when compared with traditional single slice machines. This can provide over 600 images of the chest instead of 30-60 for single slice scanners. The amount of detail now available, while enabling early detection of smaller nodules and areas of calcification, increases the time required for analysis by radiologists. Therefore the automation of scan analysis is essential.
MS-PLC opened Lifesynes flagship center in Westminster, London in 2003. Due to the Company concentrating on the development of the software products it has concluded that its development of the Lifesyne Scanning Center concept cannot be rolled out further. It represents one potential model, which will be available for licensees who see a commercial opportunity to package the concept together with our MedicsightTM software. We are now prioritizing Lifesyne on the rapid acquisition of patient scan data necessary to enable our expert software to hone its characterization skills. In this role, we have reappraised our capacity requirements and have decided to focus product development activity on the flagship center in Westminster, which will act more as a research institution. This means the center at Ravenscourt is currently surplus to our core requirements and we are seeking a partner to operate the center as a commercial CT scanning business.

Refining our business strategy
Our aim is to become a leading developer of CAD software in medical imaging. The Companys strategy is based upon the following priorities:
Focusing our resources on developing industry leading pattern recognition software in the medical imaging market.
Targeting commercially valuable applications where the accurate identification and measurement of abnormalities will lead to improved diagnosis and treatment of life threatening diseases.
Developing an international network of medical specialists, to support product development, clinical trials and commercial delivery.
Key Achievements during 2003
European CE and United States FDA 510(k) approvals were secured for Release One versions of Lung, Heart and Colon products. These facilitate disease tracking in symptomatic patients.
U.S. operations were established in Nashville, Tennessee.
Beta test sites have been set up at St Marks Hospital and London Chest Hospital, London, Vanderbilt University, U.S.A. and CHUV University Hospital, Switzerland.
Medicsight Product Portfolio
Our products currently target 3 therapeutic areas, Colon, Lung and Heart. In terms of clinical practice and therefore market segmentation, the products can be split between diagnostic treatment and screening;
Diagnostic or Disease tracking products; these are products designed for symptomatic patients to track disease progress and monitor treatment effectiveness. The primary applications in this area are Lung nodule tracking and Heart calcium scoring though the company believes there will be a growing requirement for polyp tracking in the colon as CT colonography becomes more established
Screening products; for population screening of asymptomatic patients. There is much evidence to demonstrate that the early detection of colon, lung and heart disease leads to increased life expectancy. Computer aided detection (CAD) CT will provide a cost effective solution in identifying these diseases early enough to significantly alter the economics of population screening programs in these areas
Business Development planned for 2004
We have an integrated business development strategy we aim to drive sales growth from proven products (validated by clinical trials), endorsed by International Advisory Boards, using routes to market (distribution partners), recognized and demanded by the end users (informed by our marketing efforts).
We commenced building relationships with third party distributors at the end of 2003 and already we have established strong levels of interest amongst both picture archivers (PACS) software companies and CT hardware manufacturers. Our aim is to have distribution coverage throughout North America and Europe by the end of 2004.
Our target is to have CE approval of our first CAD products before the end of the year; these products will automatically drop into the distribution structure created above.
8
Milestones for 2004
Strategic partnerships to be signed with leading hospitals in the United States, United Kingdom and Far East in the first half of 2004.
Commercial launch of first CAD product.
Completion of first clinical trials.
Establishment of International Advisory Boards comprising world experts in each therapeutic area.
Product development partnership to be signed with leading MRI research institute.
Distribution partnership to be established with a leading player.
International Advisory Board
The Company established a Medical Board to guide the early development of the Companys software for the pre-symptomatic detection of lung cancer, bowel cancer and coronary heart disease. The Medical Board advised on and monitored product development, clinical targets and scanning operations and formed an important link with medical scientists and clinicians. Chaired by Dr. John Costello, the Medical Board comprised:
Sir Christopher Paine
Dr. John Karani
Dr. Mary Roddie
Dr. Jamshid Dehmeshki
Mr. Paul Samuel
The Medical Board reported to MS-PLCs Board through Dr Costello. Three specialist advisory boards supported the Medical Board with responsibility for the lung, colon and heart products.
As the Companys strategy evolved, in particular, following the decision to concentrate our efforts on software development and international product distribution, we have acted to align our medical advisory mechanisms to the new circumstances. The Company has therefore set up three International Advisory Boards (IAB). The IABs will recruit individuals with the relevant expertise to become members and encourage the involvement of the radiologists undertaking beta testing of our products, providing data for software development and participating in our scientific program.
Some members of the original Medical Board have accepted appointments to the new IABs. New members will include persons with relevant expertise from the United States, Germany, France, Italy, and Japan. The IABs are co-chaired by Dr. Costello, who reports back to the MS-PLC Board; however, much of the scientific advice and leadership will be provided through a co-chairman, chosen from the IAB members.
Terms of Reference of the International Advisory Board
The IABs will meet twice a year and fulfill the following roles:
Advise on the development and application of Medicsight CT image analysis software in the territories represented.
Provide links to users of CT image analysis systems in their respective territories.
Assist in investor relations on an international basis.
Advise on, and participate in, clinical development programs for the Companys software.
Act as advisors in relation to regulatory submissions for the Companys products.
Advise on sources of library data (CT scans) to support training and development of the Companys software.
9
Objectives of the International Advisory Board
The objectives of the meetings may be varied from time-to-time, as agreed with MS-PLC, but will include the following:
Ensure that members have a full understanding of the Medicsight technology and are enthused to participate in its development and application, both locally and internationally.
Ensure that the clinical development program is compatible with local clinical practice.
Ensure that the clinical development program is compatible with local regulatory guidelines.
Obtain insight into local issues with respect to marketing of the Companys products.
We cannot assure you that the Company will be successful in commercializing the Medicsight system, or if such system is commercialized, that its use will be profitable to the Company. We face obstacles in commercializing our core technology and in generating operating revenues such as, but not limited to, successful development, testing of and gaining regulatory approval for the technology.
The Company does not believe that there is currently any comparable system that is competitive with the Medicsight system. There are computer-aided diagnostic systems that work in the field, but, in our view, such existing systems are overly dependent on human resources to carry out the analysis, as none have the capability of the Medicsight system.
The Company has had only a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of its prospects can be made. The Companys prospects must be considered keeping in mind the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in the establishment of a new business in an ever-changing industry. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve profitable operations.
The Company has identified a number of other specific risk areas that may affect the Companys operations and results in the future:
Technical Risks. The Medicsight system may not deliver the levels of accuracy and reliability needed, or the development of such accuracy and reliability may be delayed.
Market Risks. The market for the Medicsight system may be slower to develop or smaller than estimated or it may be more difficult to build the market than anticipated. The medical community may resist the Medicsight system or be slower to accept it than we expect. Revenues from the Lifesyne scanning centers and the licensing of the Medicsight system may be delayed or costs may be higher than expected which may result in the Company requiring additional funding.
Regulatory Risks. The Medicsight system is subject to regulatory requirements in both the United States and Europe. Approval may be delayed or incur additional cost to the Medicsight system.
Competitive Risks. There are a number of groups and organizations, such as software companies in the medical imaging field, scanner manufacturers, screening companies and other healthcare providers, that have an interest in developing a competitive offering to the MedicsightTM system. In addition these competitors may have significantly greater resources than the Company. We cannot make any assurance that they will not attempt to develop such offerings, that they will not be successful in developing such offerings or that any offerings they do develop will not have a competitive edge versus the MedicsightTM system.
Other Risks. The Companys ability to deliver the software could be hindered by such risks as the loss of key personnel, the patents being successfully challenged or credit facilities reduced or called in.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues. For the quarter ended March 31, 2004 and the quarter ended March 31, 2003 (as restated), the Companys gross revenues from operations were $152,000 and $9,000, respectively. The Companys revenue in the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were derived from the Companys Lifesyne scanning operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The Companys selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, were $3,151,000 as compared to $1,929,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 (as restated). Professional fees, including consulting services, were $437,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $380,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 (as restated). Also included were salaries and directors compensation of $1,363,000, service charges and rates for property leasing of $78,000, and rent of $271,000. The primary components of the increased selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 were increases in staff costs, professional fees, marketing and clinical trials as the Company initiated its various marketing strategies.
Research and Development cost. The Companys research and development cost for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, was $669,000 as compared to $469,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 (as restated). The Companys research and development costs are comprised of staff and consultancy costs expensed on the Medicsight system.
Net Loss and Net Loss per Share. Net loss was $3,534,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to a net loss of $2,100,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 (as restated). Net loss per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was $0.13, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 26,461,309, compared to a net loss per share of $0.10 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 (as restated), based on weighted average shares outstanding of 21,154,874. The increase in net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, are principally due to the increased selling, general and administrative expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working Capital. At March 31, 2004, the Company had $11,002,000 in current assets. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $9,816,000. Current liabilities were $5,139,000 at March 31, 2004. At December 31, 2003, the Company had $2,144,000 in current assets and cash and cash equivalents amounted to $845,000. Current liabilities were $6,540,000 at December 31, 2003. Working capital surplus/(deficit) at March 31, 2004 was $5,863,000, as compared to $(4,396,000) at December 31, 2003. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.14 to 1.0 at March 31, 2004 as compared to 0.33 to 1.0 at December 31, 2003. The increase is primarily due to the increase in cash and cash equivalents resulting from funds received in the Companys private offering.
Net Increase in Cash and Cash Equivalents. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Companys cash and cash equivalents increased by $8,971,000. This increase was primarily the result of cash flows received from shares issued by the Company in excess of the net cash used in operating and investing activities and repayments of debt. The Company used net cash of $4,165,000 in operations. The Company received net cash of $13,190,000 in financing activities and used $45,000 in investing activities.
Net Cash Used in Operations. The use of cash in operations of $4,165,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2004, was attributable to the Companys relatively minimal revenues at the same time that the Company incurred significant operating costs. These significant costs included professional fees, salaries and director compensation, marketing, clinical trials and service charges associated with rental property and
11
rent. The Company used cash in operations in the three months ended March 31, 2003 (as restated) of $3,309,000.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. In the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company had a net cash outflow from investing activities of $45,000. The Company used these funds to purchase additional fixed assets. In the three months ended March 31, 2003 (as restated) the Company had a net cash outflow from investing activities of $576,000. The Company used the funds to purchase additional fixed assets.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities. In the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company had a net cash inflow from financing activities of $13,190,000. The funds received in the three months ended March 31, 2004, comprised of $13,907,000 from the Companys private offerings of which $493,000 was used to repay our debt facilities with Asia IT and the bank overdraft of $196,000 was also repaid. For the three months ended March 31, 2003 (as restated), the Company had a net cash inflow from financing activities of $2,191,000. The funds received comprised of $78,000 received from the private offering of Medicsight stock and $2,122,000 received under our debt facilities with Asia IT.
Stockholders Equity. The Companys stockholders equity at March 31, 2004 was $21,036,000, including an accumulated deficit of $(167,002,000), as compared to $10,489,000 at December 31, 2003, including an accumulated deficit of $(163,468,000). Additional paid-in capital was $187,717,000 and $173,810,000, at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 respectively. The increase in stockholders equity was a result of an increase in additional paid-in capital of $13,907,000 resulting from the placement of the Companys stock offset by an increase in accumulated deficit of $3,534,000.
Additional Capital. The Company will require additional capital during its fiscal year ending December 31, 2004 to implement its business strategies, including cash for (i) payment of increased operating expenses such as salaries for additional employees; and (ii) further implementation of those business strategies. Such additional capital may be raised through additional public or private financing, as well as borrowings and other resources. Currently, the Company has two available lines of credit.
On December 15, 2000, the Company entered into an unsecured credit facility with Asia IT which provides a $20,000,000 line of credit. Such line of credit originally expired on December 31, 2001, but has been extended until June 30, 2005. Interest on advances under the credit facility accrues at 2% above US LIBOR. The Company can draw down on this credit facility for its financing requirements, upon approval by the Companys Board of Directors and subject to approval by Asia IT (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). The Company is restricted from borrowing funds, directly or indirectly, other than through the credit facility with Asia IT, without the consent of Asia IT. The availability of the credit facility reduces upon the Companys sale of any of its investment assets. The amounts drawn and interest charged under this facility are repayable on demand or at the maturity of the facility.
On November 20, 2001, Asia IT entered into a £10,000,000 ($16,000,000) credit facility with MS-PLC. Such facility matures in November 2005 and is secured by a lien on all assets of Medicsight. Interest on outstanding amounts accrues at 2% above GBP LIBOR. Pursuant to such credit facility, MS-PLC had covenanted to undertake a public offering of its ordinary shares in an amount not less than £25,000,000 not later than March 2002. MS-PLC did not complete such an offering but the facility nevertheless remains in place. The loan is convertible into ordinary shares in MS-PLC on announcement of an Offer to Subscribe, Placing or other public offering of its ordinary shares, at the same price per share as the offering price. Due to the private offering being undertaken by MS-PLC, the loan is currently convertible.
At March 31, 2004, the Company had drawn down $2,377,000 under the $20,000,000 facility with Asia IT, and MS-PLC had drawn down $nil under its £10,000,000 ($16,000,000) facility with Asia IT.
To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or equity-related securities of the Company or its subsidiaries, the issuance of such securities could result in dilution to the Companys stockholders. No assurance can be given, however, that the Company will have access to the capital markets in the future, or that financing will be available on acceptable terms to satisfy the Companys cash requirements to implement its business strategies. If we are unable to access the capital markets or obtain
12
acceptable financing, our results of operations and financial conditions could be materially and adversely affected. We may be required to raise substantial additional funds through other means. The products derived from our proprietary software, including the Medicsight system, are expected to account for substantially all of our revenues from operations in the foreseeable future. Our technology has not yet been fully commercialized and we have not begun to receive any significant revenues from commercial operations. We cannot assure our stockholders that our technology and products will be commercialized successfully, or that if so commercialized, that revenues will be sufficient to fund our operations. If adequate funds are not available to us, we may be required to curtail operations significantly or to obtain funds through entering into arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or products that we would not otherwise relinquish.
Critical Accounting Policies. In December 2001 and January 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission requested that all registrants list their three to five most critical accounting policies in the Managements Discussion and Analyses of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The Securities and Exchange Commission indicated a critical accounting policy is one which is both important to the portrayal of the companys financial condition and results and requires managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe that the following accounting policies fit the definition of critical accounting policies.
Revenue Recognition. We expect to earn our revenue primarily from software licenses and related services. Our revenue is recognized in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2 (SOP 97-2), as amended by Statement of Position 98-9. Currently the Companys revenues derive from its scanning services operated by LifesyneTM. Scan revenue is recognized when the service is delivered.
The recognition of revenues from software licenses and related services will require more difficult and complex judgments. The terms of the license contract, long-term (over 12 months), short-term, cancelable, non-cancelable or per scan for example will affect the recognition of revenues from services such as up-front fees as installation, activation and up-front license fees, on-going license fees, termination fees and maintenance fees. Where fees are received prior to any service being delivered the fees are deferred until the related service has been delivered successfully and the revenue can then be recognized. Again if there are fees that relate to any milestone agreements these are deferred until the milestone has passed and then the revenue can be recognized.
The Company believes that the accounting estimates related to the recognition of revenue and establishment of reserves for uncollectible amounts in the results of operations is a critical accounting estimate because: (1) it requires management to make assumptions about future collections, and (2) the impact of changes in actual performance versus these estimates on the accounts receivable balance reported on our consolidated balance sheets and the results reported in our consolidated statements of operations could be material. Further the Company has no history of uncollectible amounts and therefore must initially look to the estimates for the industry or particular companies that the management feels operate in a similar environment in addition to any current market indicators about general economic conditions that might impact the collectibility of accounts.
Research and Development. Costs incurred in connection with the development of software products that are intended for sale are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. Costs incurred prior to technological feasibility being established for the product are expensed as incurred. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detail program design or, in its absence, completion of a working model. Thereafter, all software production costs are capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized costs are amortized based on current and future revenue for each product with an annual minimum equal to the straight-line amortization over the remaining estimated economic life of the product. Amortization commences when the product is available for general release to customers.
13
The Company decided that capitalizing such expenditure was inappropriate because of the difficulty in assigning costs accurately to the various software products and versions being developed as technical and development staff are moved from product to product and version to version on a regular basis. Therefore the Company has decided to expense all research and development costs. The Companys research and development costs are comprised of staff and consultancy costs expensed on the Medicsight system.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets To Be Disposed of. The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Companys assessment for impairment of an asset involves estimating the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. An impairment loss recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Calculating the estimated fair value of the asset involves significant judgments and a variety of assumptions. Judgments that the Company makes concerning the intangible acquired include assessing time and cost involved for development, time to market, risks of regulatory failure or obsolescence (due to market, environmental or technological advances for example). For calculating fair value based on discounted cash flows, we forecast future operating results and future cash flows, which includes long-term forecasts of revenue growth, gross margins and capital expenditures.
Impairment of Excess of Purchase Price Over Net Assets Acquired. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. Under this standard, goodwill will no longer be amortized over its estimated useful life, but will be tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever indicators of impairment arise. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, any impairment loss identified upon adoption of this standard is recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Any impairment loss incurred subsequent to the initial adoption of SFAS No 142 is recorded as a charge to current period earnings.
In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, we performed our initial impairment analysis of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of January 1, 2002. The implementation involved the determination of the fair value of each reporting unit, where a reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below.
We determined the fair value of each significant reporting unit based on discounted forecasts of future cash flows. Judgments and assumptions are required in the preparation of the estimated future cash flows, including long-term forecasts of revenue growth, gross margins and capital expenditures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN No. 46), which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities (VIEs). FIN No.46 is applicable immediately for VIEs created after January 31, 2003 and are effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2003, for VIEs created prior to February 1, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB published a revision to FIN 46 (FIN 46R) to clarify some of the provisions of the interpretation and to defer the effective date of implementation for certain entities. Under the guidance of FIN 46R, public companies that have interests in VIEs that are commonly referred to as special purpose entities are required to applythe provisions of FIN 46R for periods ending after December 15, 2003. A public company that does not have any interests in special purpose entities but does have a variable interest in a VIE created before February 1, 2003, must apply the provisions of FIN 46R by the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 14, 2004. The adoption of FIN No. 46 did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.

MEDICSIGHT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Formation and Business of the Company
Medicsight, Inc. (formerly HTTP Technology, Inc.) and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this Report as the Company. Our business objective is to conceive, develop and commercialize innovative medical applications derived from our core technology through our majority-owned subsidiary, Medicsight PLC (MS-PLC).
We were originally incorporated as a Utah corporation in 1977. On December 19, 2000, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary HTTP Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and thereby effected a re-incorporation of the company from Utah to Delaware. All references in this Annual Report to the Company, we or us refer to Medicsight, Inc., the Delaware corporation and subsidiaries, if the event occurred on or after December 19, 2000 or to HTTP Technology, Inc., the Utah corporation and subsidiaries, if the event occurred prior to December 19, 2000.
Our business is focused solely on the medical imaging applications derived from our core technology. We have concluded the process of incorporating all research, software development, and management and marketing activities related to our medical imaging initiatives into MS-PLC. In November 2001 assets were transferred from our other subsidiaries to MS-PLC and the costs incurred on the development of the MedicsightTM system (our state-of-the-art digital disease detection software system comprising MedicColonTM, MedicHeartTM, and MedicLungTM) were reimbursed and assigned by way of a loan note from MS-PLC. The amount of the loan note to Medicsight, Inc. was £3,659,104, and this loan note was converted into 57,868,582 ordinary shares of MS-PLC issued to the Company and 15,000,000 ordinary shares of MS-PLC issued to the former parent of Insights in November 2001.
(2) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 (restated), 2001 (restated) filed on April 8, 2004. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The results of operations presented for the three months ended March 31, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or any future fiscal year.
The Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception. As a result, the Company has generated negative cash flows from operations, and has an accumulated deficit at March 31, 2004. The Company operating in a developing industry based on new technology and its primary source of funds to date has been through the issuance of securities and borrowed funds. The Company is currently seeking additional funding and are actively developing the technology in order to bring it to market. While the Company is optimistic and believes appropriate actions are being taken, there can be no assurance, however, that the managements efforts will be successful or that the products it markets will be accepted by consumers.
F-5
(3) Restatement of financial statements
During Fiscal 2003, the Company identified certain errors in its previously issued quarterly financial statements relating to the impairment of an intangible assets and the Company also revised its treatment of software development costs in the third quarter of Fiscal 2003.
As a result, the Company has restated its previously issued financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. A summary of the significant effects of the restatements is set forth below.

Research and Development.
During the first six months of Fiscal 2003, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, the Company capitalized certain computer software development costs. Technical feasibility was established on completion of working models for MedicHeart, MedicLung and MedicColon software products in January 2003. Subsequently, the Company capitalized costs of $545,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2003 under FAS 86. These costs capitalized comprised staff, consultants, regulatory and clinical trial costs specific to the three products.
Subsequently the Company decided that this accounting treatment was inappropriate because of the difficulty in assigning costs accurately to the various software products and versions being developed as technical and development staff are moved from product to product and version to version on a regular basis. The Company has decided to expend all research and development costs in Fiscal 2003. The Companys research and development costs of $469,000 are comprised of staff and consultancy costs expensed on the Medicsight system. The regulatory and clinical trial charges of $76,000 are expensed in Selling, general and administrative charges.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense.
During Fiscal 2000, the Company acquired an intangible asset from the former parent of Insights consisting of technology valued at $22,470,000. Under SFAS No.142, this is considered an intangible asset with a definite life of 5 years. Therefore the value of the asset was amortized on a straight-line basis over this period.
The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Companys assessment for impairment of an asset involves estimating the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. An impairment loss recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. During the third quarter of 2003 the Company reviewed the carrying value of the core technology acquired from Insights and decided that the core technology should be fully impaired. This was based on the view that there were no further software applications apart from the medical imaging applications currently being developed that could be derived from the core technology. The Company further decided that the impairment should be recorded as at December 31, 2002. In the three months ended March 31, 2003 the Company had an amortization charge of $1,123,000 expensed in Selling, general and administrative charges relating to the fully impaired technology which is no longer applicable.
(4) Lines of Credit
On December 15, 2000, the Company entered into an unsecured credit facility with Asia IT, which provides a $20,000,000 line of credit. Such line of credit originally expired on December 31, 2001, but has been extended until June 30, 2005. Interest on advances under the credit facility accrues at 2% above US LIBOR. The Company can draw down on this credit facility for its financing requirements, upon approval by the Companys Board of Directors and subject to approval by Asia IT (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). The Company is restricted from borrowing funds, directly or indirectly, other than through the credit facility with Asia IT, without the consent of Asia IT. The availability of the credit facility would be reduced upon the Companys sale of any of its investment assets. The amounts drawn and interest charged under this facility are repayable on demand or at the maturity of the facility.
On November 20, 2001, MS-PLC entered into a £10,000,000 ($16,000,000) credit facility with Asia IT. Such facility matures in November 2005 and is secured by a lien on all assets of Medicsight. Interest on outstanding amounts accrues at 2% above GBP LIBOR. Pursuant to such credit facility, MS-PLC had
F-8
covenanted to undertake a public offering of its ordinary shares in an amount not less than £25,000,000 not later than March 2002. MS-PLC did not complete such an offering but the facility nevertheless remains in place. The loan is convertible into ordinary shares in MS-PLC on announcement of an Offer to Subscribe, Placing or other public offering of its ordinary shares, at the same price per share as the offering price. Due to the private offering being undertaken by MS-PLC, the loan is currently convertible.
At March 31, 2004, the Company had drawn down $2,377,000 under the $20,000,000 facility with Asia IT, and MS-PLC had drawn down $nil under its £10,000,000 ($16,000,000) facility with Asia IT.
(5) Stockholders Equity
On December 30, 2002, the Company effected a 1-for-3 reverse split (the Split) of its Common Stock. As such, all share and per share information in the accompanying financial statements have been restated to reflect the Split. On January 27, 2004 the Company increased its authorized share capital from 25,000,000 shares to 40,000,000 shares.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2004 the Company issued approximately 5,126,000 restricted shares of stock raising $13.9m as part of a private placement.
(6) Accounting for Stock Based Compensation
On March 20, 2003, the Board of Directors of MS-PLC approved a stock option plan for its employees and reserved 4,000,000 shares of its common stock for issuance upon exercise of options granted under this plan. On April 19, 2003, the Remuneration Committee of MS-PLC also approved the stock option plan and implemented it on April 30, 2003 by issuing options over 2,828,600 shares to employees of MS-PLC. At March 31, 2004 only 20% of the options issued were exercisable under the plan.
The Company has elected to adopt the disclosure only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, and measures the cost for MS-PLCs employee stock compensation plan by using the accounting methods prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which allows that no compensation cost be recognized unless the exercise price of the options granted is lower than the fair market value of the Companys stock at date of grant. Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net loss, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, requires disclosure of pro forma income and pro forma income per share as if the fair value based method had been applied in measuring compensation expense.

The fair values of options granted were determined under the intrinsic value method for expense determined under the fair value based method, net of related tax effects.
(7) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill
The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. Under this standard, goodwill will no longer be amortized over its estimated useful life, but will be tested for impairment on an annual basis and whenever indicators of impairment arise.
The Goodwill of $11,200,000 arose from the fair value attributable to the share swap with General Nominees and Asia IT Nominees whereby the Company issued 1,866,666 shares to General Nominees (1,674,894 shares) and Asia IT Nominees (191,772 shares) in return for 7,000,000 MS-PLC shares held by General Nominees (6,280,852 shares) and Asia IT Nominees (719,148 shares) respectively.
Prior to January 1, 2002, goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years.
(8) Security Deposits
As MS-PLC occupies approximately 95% of 46 Berkeley Square it acquired the security deposit on the offices for cash from International Cellulose Company Ltd in February 2003. The value of the security deposit is £470,000 ($781,000) and is interest-bearing.
(9) Lease Commitments
The Company has entered into property leases for the Westminster and Ravenscourt centers. Future minimum obligations under these lease arrangements are as follows:

(12) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN No. 46), which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities (VIEs). FIN No.46 is applicable immediately for VIEs created after January 31, 2003 and are effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2003, for VIEs created prior to February 1, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB published a revision to FIN 46 (FIN 46R) to clarify some of the provisions of the interpretation and to defer the effective date of implementation for certain entities. Under the guidance of FIN 46R, public companies that have interests in VIEs that are commonly referred to as special purpose entities are required to applythe provisions of FIN 46R for periods ending after December 15, 2003. A public company that does not have any interests in special purpose entities but does have a variable interest in a VIE created before February 1, 2003, must apply the provisions of FIN 46R by the end of the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 14, 2004. The adoption of FIN No. 46 did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.
