About Micro-X

Micro-X Limited (the Company ) is an ASX listed hi-tech company developing and commercialising a range of innovative products for global health and security markets, based on proprietary cold cathode, carbon nanotube (CNT) emitter technology. The electronic control of emitters with this technology enables x-ray products with significant reduction in size, weight and power requirements, enabling greater mobility and ease of use in existing x-ray markets and a range of new and unique security and defence applications. Micro-X has a fully vertically integrated design and production facility in Adelaide, Australia. A growing technical and commercial team based in Seattle is rapidly expanding Micro-X’s US business.

Micro-X’s product portfolio is built in four, high margin, product lines in health and security. The first commercial mobile digital radiology products are currently sold for diagnostic imaging in global healthcare, military and veterinary applications. An X-ray Camera for security imaging of Improvised Explosive Devices is in advanced development. The US Department of Homeland Security has selected Micro-X to design a next-generation Airport Checkpoint Portal with self-service x-ray. A miniature brain CT imager for pre-hospital stroke diagnosis in ambulances, is being developed with funding from the Australian Government’s Medical Research Future Fund.

OUR STRATEGY

To Monetise Our ‘First Mover’ Advantage

Successful first movers in breakthrough technology move quickly: Early Commercial success becomes a barrier to commercial entry for others OUR GOAL domination Four production lines: - common technology platforms Create required paths to - high-margin marke t at scale - operating within five years Platform Expand channel Look for low OUR PRODUCTS hanging fruit partners & technology in cold products collaborations Mobile DR cathode x-ray Bedside Imaging – Medical, Military, Vet Our technology delivers a IED X-ray Camera customer benefit and the Counter terrorist bomb assessment Commercialise high in the value best product margins chain to maximise revenue Commercialise - avoid commoditisation as long as high in the Airport Checkpoint possible value chain Self-service airport security - keep innovating to stay in front of Brain CT competitors In-ambulance stroke imaging
