The June quarter saw growing commercial momentum with our Rover Plus sales strategy gaining traction in multiple markets and we were very pleased to sign a Supply Agreement with one of the largest healthcare groups in the United States The strategy is working, and we will continue to attack high-quality opportunities.
In medical imaging development work, our Head CT test bench is now close to commencement of imaging trials and our full body CT project achieved another key design milestone for ARPA-H. Across all our funded and commercial partnerships, we are building a solid foundation for long-term growth and are well-positioned to commercialise our next-generation imaging products.”
Commercialisation Activities
Rover Plus strategy delivers Supply Agreement with Major US healthcare services provider
The Micro-X sales strategy to focus on larger opportunities for the Rover Plus mobile X-ray unit continued to make positive progress during the Quarter with a growing pipeline of orders and opportunities.
In July, following extensive work during the Quarter, Micro-X executed a Supply Agreement for Rover Plus systems with a major US healthcare services provider, who is not named due to confidentiality requirements (the Customer ). The agreement follows a successful extensive in-hospital evaluation and competitive tender process which began in 2024. This new Micro-X Customer operates a nationwide network of more than 700 healthcare facilities, including hospitals, surgical centres, and outpatient facilities, and is one of the largest and most established healthcare organisations in the United States. This agreement represents a significant commercial achievement for Micro-X, marking its first supply agreement with a major US healthcare provider.
Micro-X Ltd. ABN 21 153 273 735, 1284 South Road, MAB Gate 2, Tonsley, South Australia 5042 www.micro-x.com
The agreement enables any of the Customer’s member facilities to buy Rover Plus systems without the need to run an evaluation or tender. While there are no minimum order commitments, the sales team is working to support broader awareness across the Customer’s network and as they deploy capex budgets
The Micro-X sales team is also at an advanced stage of negotiations with another major US procurement group for Rover Plus systems.
This Quarter, Micro-X appointed Lighthouse Imaging to drive sales efforts and uncover new market opportunities for Rover Plus in the US. As part of the agreement, Lighthouse presented the Rover Plus system at the World Health Expo in Miami during April, an event that attracted over 15,000 attendees.
The Rover Plus continued to gain traction within the sports medicine field, with Major League Baseball team the Houston Astros, acquiring a Rover Plus system. This brings the total to nine systems sold across eight teams in Major League Baseball, with another deployed at the training grounds of the NHL’s Arizona Coyotes.
In Europe, market expansion continued with the appointment of Vertec Scientific as a distributor for the United Kingdom. Vertec recently presented the Rover Plus system at the 2025 UK Imaging & Oncology conference in June, which was attended by approximately 2,000 radiology professionals.
Funded Development Programs
Head CT for stroke diagnosis –imaging trials to commence next quarter – funded by ASA
This Quarter, the Head CT test bench advanced considerably through testing to enable the commencement of hospital clinical imaging trials in the coming quarter.
As part of the final development work for Head CT, Micro-X’s engineering team has been refining the CT image reconstruction algorithms. The Head CT test bench is now able to deliver the required image resolution to visualise fine anatomical structures across the entire skull. Additional work to fire the multiple mini X-ray tubes in the Head CT array, in a high frequency sequence, was also successful.
Next quarter, the key activity will be to work with the Australian Stroke Alliance team to clinically validate the Head CT image quality, which is required for ethics approval and initiation of the planned hospital imaging trials. There are three Head CT systems scheduled to be deployed to Australian hospitals in the coming months, with each trial then expected to run for approximately nine months.
Supporting future product awareness for the Head CT and its application in tooling first responders, Chief Operating Officer Anthony Skeats provided a presentation at the ASMIRT industry conference, a leading event for Australian radiographers and the medical radiation industry.
Full Body CT scanner design advances – achieves $1.4M Milestone 3 – funded by ARPA-H
During the Quarter, the team completed a comprehensive technical dossier on the full body CT prototype, which was then submitted and accepted by ARPA-H, triggering Milestone 3 under the ARPA-H Development Agreement. This marked another step forward in the evolution of the Micro-X portfolio of lighter and more portable CT imaging products, underpinned by the proprietary NEX technology.
Following achievement of this milestone, Micro-X received a $1.4M payment during the Quarter.
Checkpoints & Baggage Scanners –progressing well in TSA test labs – funded by DHS
The Micro-X security team supported the ongoing test work on both the Baggage Scanner and the Passenger Checkpoint, with the US Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) and their agency, the Transportation Security Administration ( TSA ).
In April, Micro-X delivered and commissioned the first full size working prototype of the Passenger Checkpoint in the TSA specialist laboratories in New Jersey. This represented a major milestone and the culmination of a multi-year DHS program, aimed at transforming the passenger experience across US airports.
Micro-X Ltd. ABN 21 153 273 735, 1284 South Road, MAB Gate 2, Tonsley, South Australia 5042 www.micro-x.com
The testing of the Checkpoint prototype, across a range of real world simulations, continued to run smoothly over the course of the Quarter. This validation phase will continue for the foreseeable future and be accelerated by the delivery of a second Checkpoint prototype under the recent DHS contract extension. There remains $3.0M (US$2.0M) of contracted invoices to be received under the existing DHS contract through to May 2026. The DHS retains the option to extend this agreement, providing an additional $7.0M (US$4.4M) in funding for Micro-X.
Additionally, the two Baggage Scanner prototypes continued their test phase work during the Quarter, supported by the Micro-X engineers who are enhancing the A.I. based software to better detect threats.
Progress on Partnership Activities
Baggage & Parcel Scanner for Billion Prima – achieves $0.9M milestone
The first commercial partnership in security with Billion Prima continued to make good progress this Quarter, and remains on track to deliver a commercial baggage & parcel system enabled by Micro-X NEX Technology within the designated 12-month project schedule.
Over the Quarter, Micro-X hosted multiple visits from the Billion Prima team to collaborate on this new baggage and parcel scanner. This resulted in the successful completion of the mechanical design work marking the achievement of Milestone 2 under the Development Agreement and triggering a $0.9M payment under the project’s structured funding model.
Partnering to monetise security business
A core strategy for Micro-X is to focus on its medical imaging portfolio and monetise its security business through a partnering strategy. This process which began in early 2025 has continued well during the Quarter with strong engagement from multiple parties.
Corporate Activities
Micro-X included in Australia’s Top 10 Most Innovative Manufacturers
In May, Micro-X was recognised as one of Australia’s Top 10 Most Innovative Manufacturers in the 2025 AuManufacturing Awards, taking out Gold in the Collaborative R&D category. The result followed a national search and evaluation from a panel of six industry experts, and is a reflection on the quality, robustness, and reliability of the NEX Technology and Rover production systems.
Investor Open Day
Micro-X welcomed a large number of investors to the 2025 Investor Open Day at Tonsley on 1 May, for a firsthand insight into the Company’s manufacturing and development facilities. Guided tours covered core technology and featured the first Head CT test bench, offering a glimpse into the future of medical imaging.

In addition, the Company had a further $1.9M of overdue cash receivables at 30 June 2025, comprising project payments of $0.9M from the DHS and $0.9M due from Billion Prima. These amounts were expected to be received during the Quarter, which is when the costs associated with each of these two projects were incurred. If these project payments had been received, the net cash outflows from operations would have been reduced to $1.6M for the Quarter. These overdue payments have now been received in July 2025.
In addition to the operational cash inflows, during the Quarter, the Company received $1.9M cash inflows from Financing Activities, as follows:
-
$0.2M from directors on completion of the Placement at 7 cents per share, as approved by shareholders at the EGM on 16 April 2025; and
-
$1.7M on the drawdown of a secured loan from Radium Capital in relation to the 2025 R&D Tax Rebate for the 2025 financial year.
At 30 June 2025, the Company held $3.2M of cash, following net cash outflows of $1.8M for the Quarter. On a pro forma basis, the cash position would have been $5.1M if the $1.9M of project payment receivables had been received during the Quarter.
Looking ahead, the Company has approximately $4.1M of inventory on hand and available for Rover Plus orders, further improving the cash position moving forward.
