Directors

David Knox (Non-Executive Chair) Peter Rowland (Managing Director) Alexander Gosling (Non-Executive Director) Yasmin King (Non-Executive Director) Patrick O'Brien (Non-Executive Director) James McDowell (Non-Executive Director) Directors have been in office since the start of the period to the date of this report unless otherwise stated.

Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

Principal activities

The principal activities of Micro-X Limited (Micro-X or the Company) during the Half-Year to 31 December 2021 (the 2022 Half-Year) were the design, development and manufacturing of ultra-lightweight carbon nanotube-based X-ray products for the global healthcare and security markets.

No significant changes in the nature of these activities occurred during the 2022 Half-Year.

Review of Financials

Micro-X is a commercial stage company, with its Mobile DR range of mobile digital medical X-ray systems, being sold in a number of global markets during the 2022 Half-Year, under the Micro-X brand through distributors and direct sales channels, and on an OEM basis through a global non-exclusive distributor. The second commercial product, the Argus, IED X-ray camera underwent final technical work and pre-launch marketing activities during the 2022 Half-Year, ahead of the first customer demonstrations and then commercial launch planned for mid 2022.

Overall, Micro-X reported a net loss, after providing for income tax, of $9.0 million (31 December 2020: $4.8 million loss). The increase in loss in comparison to the previous comparative period was due to a focus on expanding Sales and Marketing efforts and commercialising the Mobile DR product range, in addition to the pre-launch and final development activities for the Argus IED X-ray camera. The Launch of the US office in Seattle and ramp up in US based staff to support the Checkpoint program for the US Department of Homeland Security also contributed to the loss along with the development of the in house manufactured high voltage generator which is now close to completion. The results for 2022 Half-Year comprised:

  • $1.4 million – in revenues from the sale of Mobile DR products;

  • $2.8 million – in other income including $1.7 million accrual in relation to the 30 June 2021 cash refund receivable under the Research and Development Tax Incentive scheme, $0.5 million received from the Australian Stroke Alliance for development of the CT stroke imager, $0.4 million received from US Department of Homeland Security for the Airport Checkpoint Development program and $0.2 million in relation to other grants;

  • $3.6 million - in expenditure on research and development activity. Most of this related to the development and final production of the Rover, the IED X-ray Camera, the Checkpoint and the CT projects; and

  • $7.3 million was spent on compensation related expenditure during the year. This represented a $3.6 million increase on the prior period, driven by an increased headcount as the Company expanded its international footprint through opening its Seattle office and appointing a European Sales Lead for Mobile DR. Resources in the US consist of Sales and Marketing personnel to support the commercialisation of Mobile DR, together with Engineering staff responsible for the delivery of the Checkpoint program and the Company’s software centre of excellence. Engineering staff increased in Australia to support the Checkpoint program and deliver the Australian Stroke Alliance CT stroke imager program. Compensation expenditure also included $1.1 million in share based payments made under the Company’s Employee Equity Plan.

Micro-X Ltd Directors' report 31 December 2021

During the 2022 Half-Year the Company received cash from the following sources:

  • $1.2 million from customer receipts for the sale of the Nano units, by the distributor, Carestream Health, Inc. and the sale of Micro-X branded Rover unit by internal sales team and distributors;

  • $2.1 million for the Research & Development Tax Incentive scheme for the 2020/2021 financial year;

  • $0.5 million from the Australian Stroke Alliance under the $8 million contract to commission the development of the mobile CT stroke imager under the Golden Hour program; and

  • $0.4 million from the US Department of Homeland Security under two contracts for up to US$1.5 million and US$2.5 million, for the development of the Airport Self Screening and Portal programs.

The Company’s cash position was $19.9 million as at 31 December 2021 (30 June 2021: $30.1 million). The net assets of the Company have decreased by $7.7 million from $34.2 million at 30 June 2021 to $26.5 million at 31 December 2021.

Review of operations

The key operational highlights for the 2022 Half-Year were as follows:

Mobile Digital Radiology products – Mobile DR

For the 2022 Half-Year, Micro-X’s Mobile DR product range, the Carestream DRX Revolution Nano ( Nano ) and the MicroX Rover branded ( Rover ), generated sales of $1.4 million. The 2022 Half-Year was characterised by investing in our Sales and Marketing capabilities, including the appointment of a globally recognised General Manager for our Mobile DR business unit, establishing a US based Sales team & the appointment of a European Sales Lead based in the UK. Throughout the period the Company proactively increased its holding of inventory of completed units and subassemblies to ensure disruptions to the supply chain were minimised.

In November 2021 the Company had a major product launch for the Mobile DR product range under its own brand for the first time at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Following this conference and high level of customer and partner engagement, the appointment of a number of additional high value distributors is underway to support the Company’s existing direct sales channels.

On 13 September 2021, Micro-X received approval from Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for listing of the Rover on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods. This TGA approval has enabled Micro-X to sell Rover, under its own name within Australia. The first Rover branded and specially repurposed Mobile DR units for the veterinary market were also sold in the period. Micro-X’s application for European Medical Device Regulation (‘MDR’) certification and concurrent CE marking is underway with a view to launch in the EU in 2022. Additional development work on an in-house high-voltage generator for the Mobile DR product range progressed substantially during the 2022 Half-Year and subject to final testing and certification, is expected to be launched in March 2022.

IED X-ray Camera

During the 2022 Half-Year, a significant amount of development work resulted in substantial improvements to the final design of the Argus, Micro-X’s IED X-ray Camera. In conjunction with this, a sales team of bomb disposal experts was engaged and commenced a range of pre-launch marketing activities for the Argus. This included demonstrations to industry, police and defence organisations at a number of high value conferences in Australia, the UK and the US. Additionally, responses have been submitted to the Australian defence Forces and the UK Ministry of Defence for their planned future procurement of new IED technology.

The Argus is expected to be launched to the international IED market in June 2022, following final testing and certification and customer demonstrations commencing from April 2022.

Micro-X Ltd Directors' report 31 December 2021

Airport Self-Service Checkpoint

Self-Service Airport Passenger Security Checkpoint – US Government Department of Homeland Security Award

In November 2020, Micro-X’s wholly owned subsidiary Micro-X Inc., based in Seattle Washington, was selected for two contracts totalling up to US$4 million to develop a new concept for airport Passenger Self Screening and Self-Service Airport Checkpoint on behalf of the US Government’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS). These projects relate to the Transport Security Authority’s (TSA) future vision of replacing conventional CT or projection X-ray luggage imaging at checkpoints with a bank of multiple ‘self-service’ security portals similar to current photometric identity portals but with the addition of millimetre-wave body-scans and X-ray screening with automated threat detection.

On 29 September 2021 the Company executed both contracts with DHS and have progressed, on time and on budget, to the completion of the first two milestones, resulting in the receipt of $0.4 million in milestone payments.

The Company opened its Seattle premises in May 2021 which is now home to the Company's centre-of excellence for image reconstruction solutions.

Brain Tomography for Stroke Diagnosis

During the 2022 Half-Year, Micro-X executed the final contract documentation and commenced development work in its role as imaging technology partner with the Australian Stroke Alliance (ASA) led by the Melbourne Brain Centre of the Royal Melbourne Hospital in its ‘Frontier Health Program’ funded by the Federal Government’s Medical Research Future Fund. The project aims to fund the development and testing of lightweight, mobile stroke diagnostic imaging technology targeted at early stroke diagnosis in land or air ambulance, Micro-X has executed agreements with Johns Hopkins University in the USA and Fujifilm in Japan to support Micro-X in the development of the lightweight brain CT scanner.

Development work is on time and on budget and resulted in the receipt of $0.5 million in milestone payments under this agreement during the period. The total funding under the agreement to be received over the next three years is $8.0 million.

COVID-19 Impact on Operations

The COVID-19 pandemic which commenced in early, 2020 continues and has impacted different target markets and activities for Micro-X in different ways.

There has also been some continued slowing of sales activities including limited travel, face to face customer engagement and conference attendances. This is being addressed by use of videoconferencing and attendance at virtual conferences. The planned evaluation of the Rover product by the US military has also been delayed with COVID-19 related base closures. The global supply chain has also been impacted with delays and challenges in receiving some components. The Company has proactively sought to mitigate this supply chain risk by ramping up its inventory levels and transporting a number of completed Rovers to its Seattle distribution centre for ease of supply to future customers.

MDR certification for the Rover, which once received will open up the large European market, has been impacted by travel restrictions and quarantine in Europe and is now expected to be received in the first half of 2022.

Micro-X has carefully managed staff attendance and access to the manufacturing premises to minimise COVID-19 risk and disruption to the manufacturing and customer support operations.

Micro-X Ltd Directors' report[31 December 2021 ]

Future Developments & Prospects

Micro-X intends on building on its first mover advantage using cold cathode technology in key global markets and a key strategy will be to expand its US footprint to provide better access to customers.

Moving forward, a key focus will be completing agreements with a number of the new distributors and dealerships for the Mobile DR range and commencing training and initial stocking. Completion of the certification for the Rover Mark II along with European approval for the Rover will assist in the ramp up of sales volumes for the Mobile DR range in 2022.

Another key objective is completing the technical development of the Argus IED X-ray camera and building pre-launch sales activities to support a successful commercial launch in the second half of 2022. A key technical milestone will be the full systems integration and imaging tests of Concept Demonstration Prototypes in second quarter 2022. A number of these prototypes will be built to enable multiple customers to commence their own trials and for a third party to validate of the product performance and features.

A third objective will be to progress the technical development of the Miniature Baggage CT Scanner, which is just over one year away from achievement of a prototype for the DHS.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the half-year.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of Micro-X Ltd does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • a giving a true and fair view of the Micro-X Ltd’s financial position as at 31 December 2021 and of its performance for the half year ended on that date; and

  • b complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2021 and its performance for the halfyear ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
