2010 is a year of achievement for the CMP team. Sales revenue was outperformed by 13%. Sales attainment in Europe and South America was remarkable in the tough macro environment. We won back the trust of our customers especially those of ODM business in the US. Despite an increase in operations cost and strong competitions, close cooperation between regional sales teams and operations team in Asia, overcame the dire challenge and delivered significant sales growth and financial results in 2010. This builds up a solid basis for our continuous growth in 2011 and beyond.

CMP business in 2010 & future outlook in 2011Reported by Albert Chen

To keep the momentum of growth in the challenging 2011, many new products need to be carried out and put in the pipeline in the 3rd quarter. They include IMT BPM, Ecoline BPM, competitive entry-level MT, mobile phone enabled application docking unit as well as next-generation IR/FR, NCFR and BPM. These products will provide the energy for growing sales revenue and profit margin. Once again, we are going to demonstrate Microlife’s strong and extensive capability of product development to the customers. Beyond technical and engineering advances, managerial mutation of operations initiated by our Chairman and CEO, Mr. K.Y. Lin, will enhance decision-making efficiency and therefore facilitate business

development. This is essential for a corporation to surpass the competition and excel in this ever-changing and extremely competitive world of business. Based on this concept and the intention to confront the challenge, CMP B.U. is set up and a new infrastructure will be formed from in the beginning of 2011. With closer coordination of resource allocation and an improved incentive system of profit sharing, we expect greater success in various categories and all geographical regions of markets in spite of the difficulty of labor cost and material price increases ahead. CMP B.U. will continue to be the substrate of Microlife’s

fulfillment of vision ”To empower and enable all people to have the capability and strong motivation to manage health of their own and the planet earth.”

VitaDock is a health management system providing a platform to monitor various vital body signs and health parameters such as: blood glucose, blood pressure, pulse and temperature. The VitaDock health monitors are extremely compact modules which connect to a Smart Phone, PDA or Tablet PC. MICROLIFE & MEDISANA will continuously expand the VitaDock platform and add new health monitors to cover different needs and purposes in the area of medical self-monitoring.

The whole health data collected from the VitaDock health monitors will be processed, synchronized, and visualized by a tailored software application (App). Thanks to the personal health database, the user/patient can easily keep track of vital parameters and their historical progression over days, weeks, months and years. Various diagnostic functions will assist the user in analyzing the results. In the new area of mobile health management; vital data and parameters are always available to

be displayed, shared, and communicated with the doctor, family members, friends or caregivers.

The launch of the VitaDock Monitors and Measuring devices for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is planned for 2nd quarter of 2011 in Germany and Europe. In detail, this includes: the blood glucose meter, “GlucoDock”, the infrared thermometer, “ThermoDock”, and the blood pressure and pulse monitor, “CardioDock”. The VitaDock Software App will be available on the iTunes Appstore for download soon.

Ralf Lindner, CEO of MEDISANA AG, sees the expectations based on previous market reactions as fully confirmed: “The feedback is just overwhelming. It is a pleasure to see how our vision of the future of mobile health becomes a reality.“

Develop “Word of Mouth Marketing” with the aid of after-sales service and achieve greater market penetration

Consumer Medical Product Business

Newsletter Feb. 201103

Microlife China is facing several marketing challenges with the powerful advertising impact of Omron as well as the low price competition from Yuyue and local brands. AND (A&D Medical) is also offering a higher promotional budget to their agencies. How can Microlife overcome the competition in order to achieve a breakthrough?“Word of Mouth Marketing” may provide the perfect answer.

Reported by Andrew Chang, Johnson Tang, Christin Liu

Starting point for Microlife’s “Word of Mouth Marketing”: after-sales service inspired by Neimeng’s experiences

Neimeng Kang-Ban(康伴) company is a secondary distributor of Microlife. Microlife sponsored a single counter only, but they reached RMB 200,000 in 2008, RMB 400,000 in 2009 and RMB 800,000 in 2010. Neimeng is a province with the lowest GDP in China for over a decade. How can a distributor in such a poor province achieve 100% growth, and in three years gain a comparable market share with OMRON locally? “Since the beginning, our company has remained a small one and it’s hard to start an undertaking. We especially cherish each customer and consumer who bought our products,” said Zhang Yanjun, after-sales staff of Neimeng Kang-Ban. “We request that once a blood pressure meter has been sold, the warranty card must be fully filled out with the customer’s information and then returned to the after-sales service center or we do not accept the warranty.” In Neimeng Kang-Ban, I saw boxes of completed warranty cards. Then Neimeng Kang-Ban created the 2nd and 3rd sales waves by “Word-of-Mouth Marketing”. Two simple steps achieved great results:

1.Build a data bank of end users: Simply record the basic information in the computer: such as, the name of the customer, purchase type, purchase date, contact number, etc (it would be better if we could also record the customer’s birthday, address, hobbies, maintenance record...etc).

2.Repay visits regularly: Select 7-8 customers at random every day for return visits by telephone, ask about the usage condition and offer professional advice regarding hypertension. Other customers can be queried by group messages, the content can state that Neimeng Kang-Ban will support the free sphygmomanometer Calibration Service, then proactively book the calibrating time for customers in the store.

At present, about 8 customers on average come to the store each day for sphygmomanometer calibration. Neimeng Kang-Ban Company greets customers warmly while offering hypertension education. This results customers that are reliant on us, and are willing to recommend that others buy Microlife's products.

Consumer Medical Product Business

How to stay competitive in China's marketplace

1.Build the data bank of end users: This plan is been implemented in 13 areas. We offer a subsidy to after-sales staff and strictly request customer data be transferred to Southern & Northern headquarters regularly.

2.Extending after-sales service centers: At present, we have 13 Microlife after-sales service centers in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou…etc. 8 service centers are expected to open this year.

3 Strategies for the development of customer service in Microlife China

To achieve this development, we increase customer service centers and improve the quality of service. Meanwhile, we provide the training programs to build an effective customer service system and response time, and speed up the synergy of the product and customer service.

1.Set up a “membership system” in different areas and create local “brand agents”: At present, besides “Factory private brand” (Microlife, Omron…etc) and “chain drugstores” (Cheng Da Fang Yuan, Yi Xin Tang), there is an undeveloped area in OTC medical devices industry, namely “brand agent” (ex. Lemel in Taiwan’s electronics industry), This first strategy helps distributors focus on “service” rather than “logistics”. In this case, we establish a “brand agent” in the minds of consumers by the word of mouth marketing. Two projects called Le Kang Zhi You1 and Kang Ban Yi Sheng2 are running in Shenyang and Shanghai respectively. When customers buy Microlife product, they can become a member and get a gift by filling in the contact information. Members can score points and purchase a thermometer at 15 Yuan instead of 80 Yuan if others buy a Microlife product on their recommendation.

2.Introduce WatchBP Series in hospitals by cooperating with pharmaceutical companies

3.Adopt a membership system in after-sales service centers and connect PMP & CMP:ex. If members garner enough points, they can receive a free 7-day measurement report or an ABPM report from WatchBP product. According to the report, they will be referred to an appointed hospital. The physicians will receive more patients. It benefits pharmaceutical companies as well. Distributors and chain drugstores also can take this opportunity to cooperate with hospitals and foster a good company image. Microlife will set up its own brand value by uniting consumers, OTC distributors, chain drugstores and pharmaceutical factories in order to strengthen its competitive advantage.

Summary:The importance of “word of mouth marketing” should never be neglected. Our main target consumers will be middle aged and elderly people; they have their own social channels. So if we can actively promote “word of mouth marketing” and capitalize on our own strengths, we believe Microlife will grow by leaps and bounds.

Remark1. Le Kang Zhi You (乐康之友): Friends of happiness and health.2. Kang Ban Yi Sheng (康伴一生): being in health in your life.

With the continuous improvements of medical equipment, the experience of patients is more convenient and personal, while providing more suitable functions. For Microlife, the key objectives of medical exhibitions are to exchange experiences between enterprises and traders, popularize and promote the guidelines of International Healthcare to specialists and the public.

The main value of the exhibitions is creating brand awareness. Microlife has thirty years of serving the medical industry and looks to become even more competitive internationally.

The exhibit was all about medical product, equipment, and supplies for

pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and the health care industry.

This exhibition enthusiastically introduced Microlife

Healthcare had a booth of Microlife products in this Expo and received a very good response from the market. The Brand name of “Microlife” was published as a supporter in on all entry tickets, and advertisement. Also, a special 5 minute presentation about Microlife was given at the opening ceremony. This was all great brand exposure for Microlife.

Medical Exhibition in Taiwan

During this Medical Exhibition, Taiwan's president, Mr. Ma Ying-Jeou visited our booth. Talking BP, BP 3AR1-3P, and BP A50 were lwere also launched during. Physicians showed a positive response to the BP A50, the semi-automatic BPM, due to it being light-weight, convenient, and able to detect patients with arrhythmia. The Afib technology was well received.

Conclusion

Microlife's blood pressure monitors and thermometers have long been favored by consumers, due to their usefulness, level of comfort, safety, and convenience. Microlife's consistent groundbreaking creativity has kept it on top of solving patient's physical needs and dilemmas. The convenience of being able to measure one's own blood pressure has enabled senior citizens to lead a more independent lifestyle.

Microlife's two major products, blood pressure monitors and thermometers, both have been through clever and ingenious reinvention to enable the products to consistently reach larger horizons. Taiwan's medical equipment industry is well-trusted internationally. The number of exports are growing every year, showing a promising future.

Patients are at the centre

The main thrust of the proposals is that patients will be at the centre of everything, They will be given the information they need to be able to make informed choices about their care. They will be able to choose which hospital, which consultant, and which GP they want to see.

Patients can select from any willing provider. This could be secondary care, new GP-led clinics, or private providers. They are also going to be allowed to register at any practice they choose. They will also be given the opportunity to rate hospitals and providers, including GP surgeries. All results will be published.

GP consortia

Eighty percent of the entire NHS budget is going to practices in the form of hard, 'real' budgets. This means getting together with other practices and forming consortia to commission services and to manage them.Every GP will have to join a commissioning consortium by 2011/12. Therefore, they have around two years before hard budgets arrive.

NHS Commissioning Board

Over the next few years the SHAs and the PCTs will gradually fade away. PCTs will cease to exist in 2013 and SHAs will be replaced by 2012/13. A new NHS Commissioning Board will be responsible for handing out the commissioning budgets to the new GP consortia and ensuring quality and continuity of care.

Opportunity for GP’s

Historically, health services, such as community and hospital services, have been commissioned via PCTs. This way of arranging services meant that GPs on the front line, who were best placed to advice on their patients needs, were removed from the process.For GP consortia, this will be a great opportunity to look at new areas of working and linking up with specialist providers and manufacturers. They will now be looking at new opportunities: what skills and advantages they have over other practices and How they can do things better.

Opportunity for Microlife and WatchBP

GP practices will be competing with one another to provide the best service they can with the aim of improving the patient's experience of health care services. Improving quality using resources more efficiently, all whilst trying to aligning themselves with a complimentary consortium. It will be in their interest to purchase the best equipment and to provide as many procedures as they are able, thus keeping the funding within the new framework. We should, therefore, see a demand for the WatchBP family of devices.

The White Paper, Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS, has been billed as the most ambitious shake-up of the NHS since its inception.

American Academy of Family Physicians Annual Scientific Conference:

Microlife Medical Home Solutions Inc. (MiMHS) attended the American Academy of Family Physician’s (AAFP) Annual Scientific Conference in Fall 2010 in Denver. Since we have been working very closely with the Colorado Academy of Family Physicians (CAFP), we sponsored the Colorado Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Experience Dinner. During this event, we were able to share our experience of working with Colorado physicians in their achievement of PCMH NCQA recognition. An expert panel consisted of key opinion leaders, including Dr. Scott Hammond, Dr. Tracy Hofeditz and Dr. John Bender. MiMHS assisted these physicians in their achievement of becoming a PCMH practice through our Fast Track to PCMH, utilizing WatchWT and/or WatchBP. In addition, our colleagues in Denver educated the attendees at our booth on the Fast Track to PCMH program.

Microlife participatedin the ISH ConferenceReported by Wei-Jung Lo, Stacy Bramer

As a Silver sponsor, we worked with ISH very closely to present this theme to all attendees and the public. As a result, this was the first time that we designed a booth based on the concept of three different sections: Home, Clinic, and Wellness Center. In the Clinic, we displayed professional devices and programs -- tools physicians need to better manage their patients’ health. The Home section featured our home devices and presented tools for patients to perform their own home monitoring. The Wellness Center section demonstrated the idea of providing community resources for patients to get the information and knowledge needed to manage their health and prevent disease.

Furthermore, we sponsored a symposium titled “State of the Art Blood Pressure Assessment in Practice” and worked directly with

ISH to invite several important key opinion leaders to speak, including Dr. Parati, Dr. Myers, Dr. Stergiou, and Dr. Graves. Additionally, we worked with Dr. Parati and Dr. Omboni to host the Coordinator’s Meeting and dinner event to promote the Artemis project. This project is designed to initiate ABPM registry in different regions and is an important component of the goal to reduce global cardiovascular risk.

Overall, we worked with ISH to present the “Global Cardiovascular Risk Reduction” concept thoroughly which was a good starting point to help promote all of our products and programs now and in the future.

Microlife attended the 23rd Scientific Meeting of the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) in Vancouver Canada, with this year’s theme being “Global Cardiovascular Risk Reduction.”

WatchBP CloudBPProject starts!Reported by Eric Wang

WBP-TW has been working with a Regional Teaching Hospital “Shuang Ho” Hospital (SHH) on the CloudBP project since November 2010.

The WatchBP CloudBP website is essentially a storage center for blood pressure data. Hypertensive patients not only upload the BP data (using diagnostic mode of WatchBP Home), but also let their doctors view the BP data. Once the doctors are authorized by their respective patients, the doctors can view the patient’s BP data any time in the hospital’s computer (HIS system).

Benefit for doctors and patients

Hospitals in Taiwan are competing with one another. Joining this project, the doctors can view patients’ BP data and chart by clicking on the HIS system. The patients do not have to hand-write the BP data and there is no need to bring a BP data sheet when they return to the clinic. The doctors can thereby provide better and more innovative medical care service, while patients receive exclusive service compared to that of other hospitals.

Opportunity for WatchBP

In the CloudBP project, WBP-TW uses the “physician-recommended” model to draw doctors’ and patients’ attention, while integrating the devices and the website. The CloudBP project helps to develop the Tele-Health market and to increase the demand for the WatchBP Home device.
