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 31[st] March 2017.
The company held cash at the end of quarter of $1.7M representing a net decrease of $3.9M over the quarter. Cash receipts during the quarter included $149K from Carestream Health Inc., our distribution partner, for prototype/demonstration deliveries of the DRX Revolution Nano (“Nano”) , Micro-X’s ultralightweight hospital mobile X-ray imaging system.
In the current quarter, Micro-X received the remaining $200K balance of a $3M loan from the South Australian Financing Authority. The Company also announced on 10[th] April 2017 the successful placement of $5.2M and the launch of a $4.8M entitlement offer (“Entitlement Offer”) . The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten.
Payments of $3.3M during the quarter related to research and development, mostly for activities and equipment related to pre-production builds of the Nano. The expenditure also included an intensive reliability growth program.
Nano Commercialisation
On 15[th] March Carestream Health Inc. received the ‘K’ number for the Nano from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This confirms that a valid 510(k) submission has been received by the FDA and the formal Acceptance Review has commenced. This submission marks a very significant milestone for Micro-X as it means that the Nano has satisfied all the rigorous design, safety and performance criteria for medical devices.
Carestream also lodged at the same time an application for a Medical Device Licence for the DRX Revolution Nano with the Therapeutic Products Directorate of Health Canada with a view to conducting Trade Trials in a Canadian hospital once the licence is issued.
Micro-X’s intensive Reliability Growth Testing program for the Nano at Tonsley has now passed a number of cycles equivalent to a 10-year operation and this program has further boosted confidence in the durability of the unit as a competitive market discriminator. Learnings from this program are being incorporated into the next set of pre-production carts which will be used in the Reliability Demonstration Test.
16 pre-production Nano units are currently in build to meet the needs of this program and to satisfy Carestream’s needs for pre-launch marketing, promotional and in-house training.

Teams from Carestream made visits to the new XinRay X-ray tube production facility in Raleigh, NC and Micro-X’s assembly facility at Tonsley in order to conduct quality audits and a production readiness review of facilities, processes and staff and also to witness the reliability growth testing programs. The reviews were successful and Carestream expressed confidence in Micro-X’s transition to production.
Service Training for Nano was successfully conducted in Rochester of Carestream technical product support staff from all parts of the world during April. Carestream’s Internal Applications Evaluation program, a pre-cursor to hospital clinical Trade Trials, is currently in progress in Rochester.
The Nano was featured very successfully by Carestream Health at two important trade shows as part of the early marketing awareness campaign for the product. The very positive reactions from industry and clinical visitors to Arab Health in Dubai in February and the European Congress of Radiology in Vienna in March have confirmed strong interest in the Nano in these markets.
Staff and Facilities
Micro-X received its ISO 13485 accreditation certificate on 4[th] April. This is a major milestone in Micro-X’s development as it confirms that the company has established and is operating at its Tonsley facility a comprehensive Quality Management System for the design and manufacture of medical devices. Compliance with ISO 13485 is a material deliverable to achieve compliance with the EU Medical Device Directive, and hence CE marking.
Two new staff joined the company during the quarter, bringing the total to 17. This includes our first USAbased employee, Dr Brian Gonzales, who is our Chief Imaging Scientist, supporting XinRay development and production activities.
