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 2018.

The company held cash at the end of quarter of $4.1M representing a net cash outflow for the quarter of $377K.

Cash receipts during the quarter were from sales of the DRX Revolution Nano to Carestream and also project revenue under the company’s now completed Australian Department of Defence contract.

CARESTREAM DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System Commercialisation

Micro-X has been delivering units and service spares under the order received from Carestream last quarter. Early units which were airfreighted to Carestream in Rochester NY experienced some damage during transit and this caused some delay in the program while the cause was identified and rectified. Carestream sales and marketing activity continued to build and expectations are for a strong sales performance once the summer holiday season in the northern hemisphere is over.

The Carestream DRX Revolution Nano was recognised as ‘Best in Class’ in the Good Design Awards and the product is featured in a number of current trade magazines for its novel technology and functionality.

Rover – Mobile X-ray for Deployed Military Medical Facilities

Micro-X’s engineering team completed the final phase of its Capability Technology Demonstrator contract with the Australian Department of Defence by demonstrating the imaging performance of a new x-ray tube specially developed under this contract for the Rover product. This tube was designed to extend the range of medical exams into the much higher energy levels associated with trauma imaging of combat soldiers. Independent radiologist assessment of the images confirmed a high level of diagnostic quality and Micro-X will be able to specify the new Rover product performance at 100kV and 100mAs, offering an unprecedented performance in a 90kg mobile unit.

Mobile Backscatter Imager (MBI)

Micro-X’s engineering team has continued to work on the design of the imaging sensor for the MBI product and has developed a highly innovative beam scanning mechanism which will greatly reduce the weight, complexity and cost of the new imaging package. The contacts established with potential end-users in Washington DC and Canberra during the initial ‘voice of customer’ discussions are being maintained to maximise the expert user input to the design solution.

Future Aviation Security Solutions in UK

Engineering work also continues on delivery of the first phase of our contract with the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) of the UK Ministry of Defence to undertake the first phase of Research and Development of a lightweight x-ray imaging system for detecting explosives hidden in consumer electronic devices. A date has been set in late September for a customer-witnessed system imaging demonstration.

New Opportunities

Micro-X’s engineering team has also been conducting early feasibility investigation into a number of new product opportunities in response to identified opportunities and solicitations. These were presented in outline at the annual Bioshares Biotechnology Summit in NZ recently and include a 3-D brain-imaging tomography system for early stroke diagnosis in ambulances, a 3-D breast tomography system for cancer screening without painful breast compression and a bedside CT imaging cart for use in ICU environments where patients cannot be safely transported to a conventional CT facility. The objective of the assessments is to enable the best product investment/return to be prioritised for resource allocation.

Corporate Development and Strategic Partnering

The Company has made significant progress with a number of leading companies in the global security and healthcare industries to define and enact a long-term, strategic ‘Grand Alliance’ that includes a major investment. Collaboration structures now in the final stages of preparation centre on technology and new product development which will have the effect of accelerating Micro-X’s road map of novel x-ray products in both security and medical diagnostic imaging as well as providing new and effective paths to market for the product portfolio. An announcement is expected early in Q4CY18.

Micro-X has successfully upgraded its ISO13485 medical device quality accreditation to the 2016 version of this standard.
