2.2 BACKGROUND
Andreas Fouras first conceptualised a novel four-dimensional X-ray imaging technology to
study the function of the breathing lungs in 2005. He developed the subsequent technology
of the 4DxV platform in the years following with his research group, the Laboratory for
Dynamic Imaging at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.
Having raised over AUD$10 million in research funding from agencies including Australia’s
National Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC), the Australian Research Council
(ARC) and the American Asthma Foundation, Andreas, his collaborators and his research
team successfully translated the technology into the laboratory where it could be developed
for clinical use.
4Dx was incorporated in December 2012 to commercialise the technology and commenced
operations in July 2013 with key researchers involved in the technology’s research
development now engaged with its commercial development.
The technology has been extensively patented, with core patents granted in key jurisdictions
including the United States and Australia. The technology has been proven through
published preclinical studies over the past 10 years.
4Dx commenced with a prospective study in 2016. 4Dx is at advanced stages of planning for
three additional prospective clinical studies.

INTRODUCTION
4Dx is a software technology company founded to create a step change in the capacity of
physicians to diagnose and manage patients with diseases of the lung.
WHAT IS 4DXV?
4DxV is a four-dimensional imaging technology that maps regional lung motion and air flow
as the lungs breathe. A non-invasive software-based technology, 4DxV allows for a detailed
map of lung function to be created unique to each patient. The commercial applications
include monitoring and diagnostic applications for diseases including Chronic Obstructive A
Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Cystic Fibrosis, Lung Cancer and Asthma.
CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES
In general, current technologies do not provide quantitative functional information but
instead deliver static images or insensitive single measures of function. They can also
be invasive and expose the patient to significant doses of radiation. The vast majority of
respiratory diagnostic procedures fall into one of following three categories of diagnostics
currently in the market place.
A. SPIROMETRY
First developed in the 1860’s, spirometry measures the volume of air blown out of the lungs. B
It provides a measure of lung function in a single accumulated number. It is accurate but
insensitive.
B. X-RAY
Developed in the 1890’s, X-ray is an imaging test that provides two-dimensional visual
information on what is happening in different regions of your lung. Although inexpensive, it is
not a functional test like spirometry, and it is not as sensitive as a CT.

4.1 INTRODUCTION
Because the Company commenced operations in July 2013 and has not as yet reached break-
even or profit, investment in this Round should be considered speculative. In addition, as 4Dx
is not listed on any share exchange at present, there is no secondary market for the sale of
Shares. If you do not know the effect of this on your investment strategy, you should consult
your professional advisors for advice. Further, your ability to sell your Shares is not regulated
under specific provisions of 4Dx’s constitution (see clause 67 of the Company’s constitution).
You should carefully consider the risks involved in acquiring the Shares, including those risks
described below and all of the other information set out in this IM before deciding to invest in
the Company. If any of the events or developments described below occurs, the Company’s
business, financial condition or operations could be negatively impacted. In that case, the
value of the Shares could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. As with
any equity investment, substantial fluctuations in the value of that investment may and often
do occur.
This section, which is not exhaustive of all risks, identifies the risks that the Directors
regard as the major risks associated with the Company’s business, the industry in which
it operates and the risks associated with an investment in the Shares. You should read the
entire IM (with particular emphasis on this section) in order to fully appreciate the risks of an
investment in the Company and the manner in which the Company intends to operate before
any decision is made to subscribe for the Shares.
If you are considering an investment in the Company, you are also strongly advised to consider
whether the Shares are a suitable investment having regard to your personal investment
objectives and financial circumstances (and the risk factors set out in this section). If you
are in any doubt about the suitability of an investment in the Company, you should obtain
professional investment advice before making an application under this Round.
Barrier to entry Key players in the medical imaging sector may attempt to block 4Dx from market penetration. As a SaaS cloud supplier, the key pathways for blocking (distribution, maintenance) are significantly
ameliorated. Furthermore, the 4Dx business strategy offers significant opportunities for one or more key players in the medical imaging industry to form special partnerships with 4Dx (e.g. for
an established manufacturer to manufacture dedicated 4Dx hardware under license). These partners will be selected (in part) for their capacity to grant 4Dx access to the market.
Regulatory Risk There is a risk that the relevant regulatory bodies (primarily the FDA in the US) will not grant 4Dx regulatory clearance to market its products, or will significantly delay the grant of such
clearances. Failure to receive regulatory clearance will have a negative impact on 4Dx’s future revenue streams, however the Company has developed significant market opportunities that do
not require regulatory clearance e.g. research products to the research sector and contract research services to the pharmaceutical sector.
Technology Supplier Risk As a SaaS product supplier, there is a risk that 4Dx’s cloud delivery partner could breach the delivery agreement and/or other relevant contractual arrangement. As the developer and owner
of the SaaS product, 4Dx is in a position to replace cloud suppliers at short notice. Alternate suppliers in the SaaS sector are well placed to rapidly and elastically scale to support demand with
minimal disruption to customers due to the change of cloud supplier.
Political Risk The legislative frameworks in key countries may vary without notice impacting the Company, in particular its operations and profitability.
Foreign- Exchange Risk 4Dx’s financial position might be negatively affected by exchange rate fluctuations. In particular, the majority of Company costs are Australian dollar denominated relating to Research &
Development staff based in Melbourne, whereas initial Company revenues are expected to be substantially all US dollar denominated. As a result, a weaker (stronger) US dollar versus the
Australian dollar will have a negative (positive) affect on the Company’s profitability.
Risk of Superseding This is the risk that new technology will be developed that will supersede 4Dx technology. 4DxV technology supersedes the pulmonary function test (invented in the 1850s), the X-ray (invented
Technology 1890s) and the CT (invented 1970s). In short, pulmonary diagnostic modalities are devised very infrequently. Additionally, new technologies have significant development and commercialisation
timelines.
In addition to the 20 years of monopoly rights granted by our extensive patent portfolio, 4Dx will continue to invest heavily in R&D to provide the greatest possible likelihood that any technology
that supersedes the current offering is developed by 4Dx and not our competition.
Key Man Risk This risk relates to an over-reliance on one or a few individuals, but in particular, 4Dx’s founder and CEO Andreas Fouras. In addition to key man insurance for the CEO, 4Dx internal management
and HR policies and procedures involve significant communication of company planning over all timeline horizons along with a structured succession plan for executive and other senior level
roles within the Company.
Intellectual Property 4Dx has developed and owns a range of proprietary items of intellectual property that the Company believes are novel and inventive. The granting of a patent does not guarantee that the rights
of others are not infringed or that competitors will not develop technology to avoid the patented technology, or that a competing company does not infringe on our patents.
Income and capital risk An investment in the Company is speculative in nature and any returns on capital contributed are not guaranteed by the Company, its Directors, officers or any other person. The speculative
nature of the investment poses a risk that capital may not be returned to investors. The value of investments may fluctuate and the investor may not get back the amount initially invested.
The Company cannot make any assurances in relation to its ability to obtain appropriate capital or funding, if or when, needed in the future. If the Company is not able to obtain funding as
needed, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business operations and the commercialisation of its products, and may affect its ability to continue as a going concern.
Liquidity risk As Shares in the Company are not listed on any stock exchange, there is currently no liquid market for the Shares. Furthermore, the trading of Shares is also limited by the Company’s
Constitution (see section 5.5 for more details). Because there is a limited secondary market for the Shares, it might not be possible to sell the Shares at the prevailing price or at all. Therefore an
investment in the Company is only suitable for investors with a long-term investment horizon.
Dilution The Company may need to raise additional funds through a further capital raising or debt facility at some time in the future, after the capital raising being undertaken under the IM is completed.
Any such further capital raising is likely to have the effect of diluting the interests of Shareholders.
Litigation In the ordinary course of its business, the Company may be subject to the risk of litigation and other disputes with its employees, consultants, lessors, regulators and other third parties.
Proceedings may result in high legal costs, adverse monetary judgments and/or damage to the Company’s reputation, which ultimately is likely to have an adverse effect on the financial
performance of the Company.
General economic risks The performance of the Company, like all companies, is subject to general economic conditions. Movements in economic growth rates, interest and inflation rates, and currency exchange rates
may have an adverse effect on the Company’s activities, as well as its ability to fund those activities.
No minimum subscription There is no minimum subscription under this Round. Accordingly, the Company does not make any representation that the funds raised under this Round made in this IM will be sufficient to
achieve the objectives set out in clause 1.3.
Any funds raised under this Round will be pooled with funds being raised concurrently from retail investors, as well as grant applications and product sales in order to provide the working capital
required to fund 4Dx’s core operations and capital expenditure.
