MARKET UPDATE - NANO PRODUCTION & DELIVERIES RAMPING UP

Progressing on all three strategies for capital raising with Nano production and inventory being scaled

Adelaide, Australia, 13[th] May 2020: Australian hi-tech company Micro-X Ltd (ASX:MX1) ( Micro-X or the Company ), a leader in cold cathode x-ray technology for health and security markets globally, provides the following Market Update on progress of production and shipping of the Carestream DRX Revolution Nano (the Nano ).

Key Points

  • COVID-19 continuing to drive strong global demand for mobile x-ray with short delivery times critical for new orders

  • Ramp up in Nano production and inventory well advanced following successful $15.0M Offer

  • April 2020 - $0.5m of Nano units shipped. Additional $1.5m of Nano units in production of which $0.5m are already substantially complete

  • Prioritising rapid reduction in backlog of existing orders and shortening delivery for new orders

In the month of April 2020, $0.5 million of Nano units from existing purchase orders were completed and shipped to the end customers. In addition, a further $1.5 million of Nano units are at various stages of production with $0.5 million of these already substantially completed. The remaining components are now arriving which will enable these Nano partially and substantially complete units to be completed, tested and shipped this Quarter. Once Nano units are completed and shipped they are invoiced and treated as revenue for Micro-X.

Additionally, following the completion of the $15.0 million offer (the Offer ), the ramp up strategy for Nano production is being implemented on an urgent basis. This ramp up includes $0.6 million in capital equipment which has now been largely ordered and is expected for delivery this Quarter. There is also an additional investment of $3.4 million in inventory in the form of components and once built, semi complete or complete Nano units. This ordering has taken place and components will arrive progressively this Quarter.

In total since January 2020, $1.7 million of Nano units have been built, shipped and invoiced.

Attached is a short presentation illustrating the activity and recent changes in manufacturing and production.

Micro-X’s Managing Director, Peter Rowland, commented:

“We set out to capture COVID-19 demand for our Nano when we raised funds and with the Placement component completed 2 weeks ago we have been working very hard on this initiative. I am pleased to report that we’ve been successful in ramping Nano production with the rate of units being built and shipped increasing rapidly. We have worked through some supply chain challenges due to recent global trade disruption and above all else our priority is to reduce our backlog of existing orders and therefore the delivery times for future orders.”

This ASX Announcement is authorised by the Board of Micro-X
