ASX Announcement – MICRO-X LIMITED (ASX: MX1)

QUARTERLY CASH FLOW & BUSINESS UPDATE

Micro-X Limited (‘ Micro-X’ ) is pleased to provide an update to accompany the attached Appendix 4C Quarterly Cash Flow report for the period ended 30[th] June 2017.

The company held cash at the end of quarter of $5.6M representing a net increase of $3.9M over the quarter. Cash receipts during the quarter included $241K from project revenue under the company’s current Australian Department of Defence contract.

In the June quarter, Micro-X completed a $10M capital raise through a combination of a $5.2M placement and $4.8M entitlement offer. The company also received the remaining $200K of a $3M loan from the South Australian Government.

Payments of $4.8M during the quarter related mostly to accrued creditors for research and development, for activities and equipment relating to the finalisation of pre-production builds for Nano.

Micro-X expects to receive a payment of up to $6 million under the Australian Government’s Research and Development Tax Incentive Program during the September quarter for activities conducted during the 2017 financial year.

CARESTREAM DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System Commercialisation

The key milestone during the quarter was the receipt by our distribution partner, Carestream Health Inc., of notification from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that the DRX-Revolution Nano’s 510(k) application had been approved. Approval was received in only 76 days.

Carestream has continued to show the Nano in key markets by featuring it prominently on its exhibition stands in Sao Paulo, Brazil and Leipzig, Germany in May and in Manchester, UK and Anaheim, California in June. The market interest in the product continues to surpass expectations and emphasises the critical importance of planning for initial production volumes.

Our exhaustive Reliability Growth Program, which started last December, has been successfully completed and the incorporation of improvements from this program into the product design is complete.

Reliability Demonstration Testing and component life testing continues and this forms the last stage of the product verification program required for the Declaration of Conformity and CE Marking submission.

We are in the final stages of resolving some production and quality issues in our supply chain associated with the transition to volume production processes. These issues have hampered our schedule in building up the capability to deliver in volume. Micro-X is aware of the maxim that a great product can be

easily spoiled by a poor market launch and is committed to achieving an exceptional standard of production readiness. The company has this week initiated a high-intensity build of a batch of production units to validate successful resolution of all these supply chain processes.

Defence Products

Micro-X completed the construction milestone for both the Mobile Backscatter Imager (“MBI”) and the Mobile Medical Imager (“Rover”) demonstrations under our current contract with the Department of Defence. The set-to-work and testing of the equipment is underway and the imaging demonstrations will be performed in October.

Micro-X was invited to present the Rover and the MBI programs to the Office of the Secretary of Defense in Washington DC. There was strong interest from the Foreign Comparative Test Department and US Military staff have requested an invitation to attend the Imaging Demonstration which will be performed for the Australian Defence Force.

Micro-X also hosted a visit at Tonsley from a large overseas delegation of Counter-IED and Home Made Explosives experts from the US Military, FBI, and Department of Homeland Security. There was strong interest shown in our new explosives imaging technology currently in development.

Staff and Facilities

Micro-X continues to build up its in-house engineering design capability and has recruited Anthony Skeats as Engineering Manager to lead this function. Two mechanical engineers have also joined the team and recruitment of senior Software and Electronics engineers is underway. Headcount now stands at 19.
