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 31[st] December 2018.
The company held cash at the end of quarter of $4.3M having recorded a net operating cash outflow for the quarter of $3.1M. Cash receipts during the quarter were from sales of the DRX Revolution Nano to Carestream.
During the quarter Micro-X received $1.2M of the $2.4M that it was awarded in the previous quarter under the Advanced Manufacturing Growth Fund Grant by the Australian Government, Department of Industry, Innovation and Science to support Micro-X’s investment in plant and equipment in a new state of the art manufacturing site in the Tonsley Innovation District.
Micro-X also received $3.0M during the quarter from the placement of 30,000 Unsecured Mandatorily Convertible Notes in the previous quarter.
At the end of the quarter Micro-X completed a successful private placement of 7.4M Ordinary Shares to raise $2.0M at an issue price of $0.27 per Share (‘ the Issue ’). Under the terms of the Issue investors will also receive call options on a 1 for 2 basis – 3.7M options in total. Of the $2.0M raised, $1.9M cash cleared Micro-X’s bank account in the quarter.
Carestream DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System Commercialisation
Micro-X’s commercialisation of the Carestream DRX Revolution Nano achieved its most exciting milestone during the quarter as commercial sales to hospitals commenced in the USA. The Nano was featured strongly on the Carestream exhibition stand at the annual Radiological Society of North America Scientific Meeting in Chicago in November and there was strong procurement interest from visitors from all over the world. Early indications of unit sales volumes in the USA are very promising and in accordance with our expectations. To protect the confidentiality of Carestream’s competitive position in the marketplace, Micro-X will not make public disclosure of unit sales volumes going forward.
Following achievement of the CE Mark accreditation first deliveries to Europe were made at the end of the year and first clinical use has now commenced there. The CE Mark has enabled a listing on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods for Australian sales activity to commence and other regulatory approval processes have commenced in Korea and Singapore.

Strategic Partnering
The development of the ‘Grand Alliance’ which we had hoped to conclude during the quarter was slowed by a change of scope and simplification of the arrangement which was mutually agreed with our preferred partner. The key tenets of technology and product collaborations backed by a significant investment remain as originally planned and preparations are on track for an expected closing later in the current quarter.
Future Aviation Security Solutions in UK
The presentation in London of Micro-X’s Phase One deliverables under its Future Airport Security Solutions contract with the UK Government’s Department for Transport was very well received and this has led to subsequent dialogue in October with the security authorities at Heathrow airport who identified a development pathway for the technology to much broader applications in airport security.
Corporate Development
Micro-X was invited to present its technology and roadmap of future health imaging products to the US joint services Defense Health Agency at Fort Detrick near Washington DC. This visit confirmed the Department of Defense’s interest in new lightweight, deployable diagnostic imaging technology and Micro-X understands R&D funding in this area may become available in CY19.
Micro-X conducted a very successful proof-of-concept imaging trial of its Brain Tomographic Imager at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. The trial showed that image quality to enable stroke diagnosis was possible from a small, lightweight, x-ray unit which could be easily fitted in ambulances. Following the trial success, MicroX is collaborating with the Melbourne Brain Centre in an application for funding under the current Frontier Health Program as part of the Australian Government’s Medical Research Future Fund.
Micro-X’s expansion of its in-house engineering capability has been boosted with a graduate intern program in Biomedical Engineering. Undergraduate engineers in this discipline on 20 week placements have also shown to be a valuable addition to the team as engineering of the company’s next generation of products gets under way.
